Just letting everyone know im still here and just really busy. Ill try to have an update out by the end of the weekend.

Started updating to 1.4.5.

The mod has broken 500 downloads :).

I finally got videos to embed in the post without randomly disappearing I think :).

No it does not allow me to view the video but I presumed it was a problem with me.

Nope its everyone :(.

The water is an element too...

Hence why it is in the future features list.

Hi! Thanks for the embeding the video! I am keeping up to date with this!

Lol sorry! Nothing to stop you making a video

This is just a suggestion for a future update (in the long future ofc!) but you could make a wizard dimension with new npc's. Bit silly I know!

Really its embedded for you? Every time I attempt to embed a video, it appears to work for a while then dissapears. I have contacted support about this problem and am still waiting for a response. It is interesting though if it is embedded for everyone else. Also I was already thinking about adding new mobs and what to make them.

SUGGESTIONS: Ice Staff (Freezes all water and places snow)
Undead Staff (Turns mobs into zombies, terrain into sand)
Lightning Staff (Shocks the land with lighting)
Staff of disease (gives nausea effect to all mobs)

These are some great ideas. I might implement a few of them once I get some free time.

Hellow it me again! The mod appeared to be awesome, course I kinda failed in getting a lot of essences.. Like zombies didn't dropped any of them So either I was soooo unlucky or there is something wrong with the drop. Good luck with further development!
My name is MrTindervox & This is my video!

Cya~!

Thanks a lot for making a video.

As for the drops if you got a rare drop from a zombie *like a carrot or something* its bugged and I should take a look at it. Its supposed to drop the essence with a rare drop. Otherwise, you are just very unlucky.

That is probably your best bet, as I have have no idea whats wrong with it. Good Luck

Updated to 1.4.4, summoning essence now is a rare drop.

I added the summoning staffs in the experimental 0.3.9 release.

try it with these variables

private boolean field_70279_a;
private double field_70276_b;
private int mechPosRotationIncrements;
private double mechX;
private double mechY;
private double mechZ;
private double mechYaw;
private double mechPitch;

/*
private double velocityX;//idk if these 3 are neccasary
private double velocityY;
private double velocityZ;
*/

And thanks

Hey! I made a video! Hope you like

Thanks a lot for making a video. By the way that was hilarious .

Also I think I finally squashed the summoning staffs last bug. After a little more testing, its off to 1.4.4

The summoning staffs are almost done. They should be ready in a couple days.

Umm, I copied the exact method from Entity.java without the lines involving fire (can't see it because of privacy), forge custom data, and something about the id, and it doesn't work. Doesn't save the entity. Here's just my methods:

protected void writeEntityToNBT(NBTTagCompound par1NBTTagCompound)
{
par1NBTTagCompound.setTag("Pos", this.newDoubleNBTList(new double[] {this.posX, this.posY + (double)this.ySize, this.posZ}));
par1NBTTagCompound.setTag("Motion", this.newDoubleNBTList(new double[] {this.motionX, this.motionY, this.motionZ}));
par1NBTTagCompound.setTag("Rotation", this.newFloatNBTList(new float[] {this.rotationYaw, this.rotationPitch}));
par1NBTTagCompound.setFloat("FallDistance", this.fallDistance);
par1NBTTagCompound.setShort("Air", (short)this.getAir());
par1NBTTagCompound.setBoolean("OnGround", this.onGround);
par1NBTTagCompound.setInteger("Dimension", this.dimension);
this.writeEntityToNBT(par1NBTTagCompound);
}

/**
* (abstract) Protected helper method to read subclass entity data from NBT.
*/
protected void readEntityFromNBT(NBTTagCompound par1NBTTagCompound)
{
NBTTagList var2 = par1NBTTagCompound.getTagList("Pos");
NBTTagList var3 = par1NBTTagCompound.getTagList("Motion");
NBTTagList var4 = par1NBTTagCompound.getTagList("Rotation");
this.motionX = ((NBTTagDouble)var3.tagAt(0)).data;
this.motionY = ((NBTTagDouble)var3.tagAt(1)).data;
this.motionZ = ((NBTTagDouble)var3.tagAt(2)).data;

if (Math.abs(this.motionX) > 10.0D)
{
this.motionX = 0.0D;
}

if (Math.abs(this.motionY) > 10.0D)
{
this.motionY = 0.0D;
}

if (Math.abs(this.motionZ) > 10.0D)
{
this.motionZ = 0.0D;
}

this.prevPosX = this.lastTickPosX = this.posX = ((NBTTagDouble)var2.tagAt(0)).data;
this.prevPosY = this.lastTickPosY = this.posY = ((NBTTagDouble)var2.tagAt(1)).data;
this.prevPosZ = this.lastTickPosZ = this.posZ = ((NBTTagDouble)var2.tagAt(2)).data;
this.prevRotationYaw = this.rotationYaw = ((NBTTagFloat)var4.tagAt(0)).data;
this.prevRotationPitch = this.rotationPitch = ((NBTTagFloat)var4.tagAt(1)).data;
this.fallDistance = par1NBTTagCompound.getFloat("FallDistance");
this.setAir(par1NBTTagCompound.getShort("Air"));
this.onGround = par1NBTTagCompound.getBoolean("OnGround");
this.dimension = par1NBTTagCompound.getInteger("Dimension");
this.setPosition(this.posX, this.posY, this.posZ);
this.setRotation(this.rotationYaw, this.rotationPitch);
this.readEntityFromNBT(par1NBTTagCompound);
}

Sorry, didn't see your reply there, but that's pretty much what I did.

Lol I think i might have beat you to posting. Read above.

That will save its position. If thats all the entity needs to work then thats all you need.


If you need more heres an example:

Lets say you create a sentry turret entity. It targets a player, kills it, and then blows up. You need to save its position, and the name of the player you want to kill. The save for pos you currently have would be right. You would then add

par1NBTTagCompound.setString("tagcalledplayername", variableplayernameisin);

To writeToNBT

and then you would add

this.variableplayernameisin = par1NBTTagCompound.getString("tagcalledplayername");

To readFromNBT

This is kinda the best I can explain it.
