I love EZPVP because there are parkours that players have built which I enjoy. I also love the credit system that you use to to get kits. But most of all, it's a great server and it isn't overcrowded.

There's a massive list of dimension mods on the page for Pudelhund's Dimension API.

I'm assuming you don't know how to post images online. You need to upload to Photobucket, Imgur or similar and then give us the link to there. We can't see any of the things you're trying to show us right now.

I mildly remember something like this happening to me when I was trying to code a torch or similar. I think you have to have an item that spawns the block, because otherwise blocks with different renders don't work correctly in the inventory.

Thanks man! I'm sorry i havn't added much to the mod so far, im going to go crazy, with...more than magic. with robots, vampires even maybe... lul...maybe even robot mages! thanks so much and i really have alot planned

Are robot mages even possible? Anyway, you should probably add screenshots and/or videos to the main post. Sure there is one screenshot but you know what I mean

Just pointing out: this is a trolling thread not a griefing thread.

Ok, my best troll moment was on my friends's server. I stripped all the leaves off of the trees near the spawn when everyone else was online. Me later:"No, I wonder who did it?" All you could see was floating piles of wood XD

Not sure if this is what you were looking for, or if it is outdated or not but here is my torch code for 1.1:

Some of that was with forge though. :/
You'll also need to update the functions.

Never mind, I just changed the obsidian frame to water which gave a nice fountain and stopped the fall damage from killing you ;). Love the tutorials Spaces!

Quote from meeees

suggestion! learn what a for loop is
other than that, do a check before it spawns to see if the bottom is on the ground, and if not, then return false i think

Yeah, for loops will help a lot here.

Quote from ThePlasticBling

Hello, I have this code that spawns screwed up pyramids in deserts:

*LONG CODE*

The problem with this code is that the structures sometimes spawn in the air. How can I fix this? Thanks!

I think I know what you mean. You should generate a base underneath the pyramid of a normal block (sandstone) or sand with a normal block underneath.

I'm trying really hard not to be annoying, but does anyone know how to make it so you spawn in the custom dimension without a nether portal? I checked the Teleporter code but it's ever-so-slightly complicated. Any pointers?

And yes I was the one person who gave a +1 to the dimension tutorial

Pictures? Video? Also what has the mod name got to do with anything?

Quote from CynicBound

How so? The version number?

Didn't work with 1.2.5. Checked the Dimension Api topic though and someone suggested using MCP for 1.2.4 and then just simply using as a 1.2.5 mod. Will try soon.

EDIT: Nope, was just MCP I think.
ItemTutorial is giving an abstract method override error, however, and I'm not quite sure what it wants.

Never mind, just add this:

public abstract String getOverlayTextureOverride();

to ItemTeleporterBase and this:

public String getOverlayTextureOverride()
				{
					return "Trololololol";
				}

in ItemTutorial. Haven't tested yet but fixed errors

EDIT AGAIN: ChunkProviderTutorial is giving errors about an outdated function in getPossibleCreatures.

return null

I can fix that later

Quote from Adrianstameski

Will this work in 1.2.4?
And how detailed can I get in Techne before they start to lag? anyone have any idea?

I didn't read the main post but I highly doubt this would work for 1.2.4/5. Also nice job on bumping this thread

Don't know about the others, but the dimension tutorial is outdated

^ Screw that >: ( Can't manage WorldProvider, ChunkManager or ChunkProvider without errors.
