Note: I know that the forum rules say not to pester modders about updating their mods but I encourage you to. The more people tell me to update something, the faster and earlier I'll get it done because I give it priority over the things in less demand. I won't even bother to update something if nobody specifically asks for it.

[size=large]The Boombox[/size]
Play your favourite music from within Minecraft simply by dragging it into a folder beforehand! Formerly The Radio Mod.

Demo and Installation Video by TheDayGamers:
[size=medium]How to Use[/size][/size]
- [size=x-small]Install the mod like you would any other (full instructions in download). This mod requires ModLoader. The default block IDs are 230 and 231 but can be changed in the props file. EQ animations can also be disabled in the props file (for people who use MCPatcher for HD texture packs - read the FAQ for more info).[/size]
- [size=x-small]Drag your converted music into the folder ...\.minecraft\resources\mod\boombox. Whatever is in that folder will be loaded automatically and the boombox can play them.[/size]
- [size=x-small]The boombox by itself plays like a jukebox. Add two speakers to the sides of a boombox (on both sides) and the volume will double (double record volume). Add 4 speakers (2 on each side) and the music will play worldwide. Redstone can be used to toggle (i.e. like a button) music on or off.[/size]
- [size=x-small]Enjoy![/size]
[size=x-small]NB: The sound engine Minecraft uses can supposedly stream ogg, wav, mus, xm, s3m and mod files (half of which I've never heard of). In my experience ogg is your safest bet.

For players that use HD textures (ones that specifically require MCPatcher), you'll have to do without EQ animations since MCPatcher screws too much stuff up. This version removes the animated texture and instead has a static image for playing and a static one for not. Of course you can change the textures to any resolution to fit with your texture pack:
64x texture courtesy of steps.
NB: As of 1.1, the normal version above works with HD texture packs. Unless you resize the animated textures, go to the properties file and change "EnableEQAnimations = true" to "EnableEQAnimations = false" and then replace "boombox_static.png" with the HD textures (the 16x ones or the old HD ones will work just fine too).

[size=medium]FAQ[/size]
If you're having problems or questions, check the FAQ first before you ask. If you ask a question that's in the FAQ, don't be offended if I don't answer it.
When will you do shuffle and loop?
Eventually maybe when I'm tired of coding other mods. The code for shuffle is already there.
Could you change the texture to fit my texture pack?/Can I use your texture?
Lolkuro created all skins and textures and anything related to them should be discussed with him.
The music sometimes stutters when playing and/or cuts off prematurely.
This is caused by lag on slow PCs and there's nothing I can do unfortunately. Trying installing OptiFine or freeing up more RAM.
Everything works except the sound. I keep getting "-No Signal-".
Your music is either in the wrong directory or in the wrong format.
The game tells me the music is playing but I don't hear it./ The boombox skips through some/all of my songs.
First, make sure your music volume in the game options is not 0 and that there aren't any strange characters in the song's filename. Also the minecraft sound engine is strangely selective. Try using a different converter. Once I had to convert an mp3 to wav first before ogg and only then did it work.
String index out of range: -1
Try removing any weird numbers or characters from the song titles.
The mod crashes my game.
Possible reasons:
- You didn't install ModLoader properly.
- There's a conflicting block ID (edit the properties file).
- You installed the mod wrong causing textures or such to be in the wrong location.
- You're using an HD texture pack (that requires MCPatcher specifically). MCPatcher screws all sorts of stuff up. Use OptiFine instead for HD textures.
You have a mod that edits SoundManager.class. (Portal Gun Mod is known to do that)
It doesn't work.
I won't try to help you troubleshoot if I don't get some details to work with. Either the output(you could use this too)/crash report, ModLoader.txt or at least what other mods you've got installed.
I noticed your source code is in the download. May I use all/part of it without having to worry about copyright?
Yes; completely open source, but ask me first.
May I add your mod to a modpack?
PM me about it.
[size=large]The TV Mod[/size]
Right so I've been kinda busy so I didn't get much done on the skills mod thing. As a compensation I'll release the TV mod for beta testing. It's mostly experimental. Instructions are in the download.
Unofficial update to 1.2.4
TVMod 1.0 for MC1.1
TVMod 1.0 for MC1.0.0
TVMod 1.0 for MC B1.8.1
Requires ModLoader and xuggler (and you'll probably need to restart when you install it). This mod uses xuggler's native shared libraries to decode video and audio. If your game crashes on placing a TV and you're on a 64bit Windows PC, download this (original page here) and copy it into C:\Program Files\Xuggle (or wherever you have it installed).
Xuggler is really as good as it gets for decoding video in Java. No I will not switch to JMF and no I will not write my own video decoder because you'll drown in bugs if I did.
NB: Go somewhere near the end of this thread to get the old Xuggler installer since apparently now you have to build it yourself.

TV Recipe:
TV Remote Recipe (shapeless):
[size=small]How to Use:[/size]
- It's similar to a painting, but should be placed on the block you want the centre of it to be.
- Right-click with the remote to play/pause.
- Shift + right-click while playing skips to the next video.
- Shift + right-click while paused stops. The next time you play, the same video will start.
- Can load an unlimited number of videos in any format as long as they're in the "TV" folder.
- Every TV is independent and runs lag-free.
- TVs are not affected by ambient lighting.
- Every TV remembers what video you were on when you log out.
- When a video is over, the next one is auto-played.
- Includes a config file where you can edit IDs, screen width, screen height, sound range, enable HD or enable shuffle.
- Screen size can be set to up to 16*16 blocks or 4*4 if HD is enabled (you can set it to more, I didn't set a cap, but don't). The video is adapted to fit the chosen size. 16*16 on standard resolution runs better if you're watching from long distances as HD becomes redundant:
[size=small]Known Bugs:[/size]
- Remote range is annoyingly short since it uses the same method for entity/block interaction. (like milking a cow or opening a workbench). I plan to make it control anything the cross-hairs are aimed on.
- When HD is enabled, sometimes you'll see small lines, dots or other visual artifacts on the screen, though these are rare if the player isn't moving.
- Some people get this random memory leak (their RAM usage shoots up when they've been playing a loong video). Since the Java garbage collector takes care of any non-deallocated memory, I can only blame the Xuggler native code. I'll look into it.

[size=large]SteamBikes[/size]
This mod started as my entry for the steampunk contest thing. I only had 2 afternoons to work on it so I left a lot of features out and kept some minor bugs in. The tough part (which is also the part I'm worst at) was the model and the textures and took up about 90% of the time. This is generally less advance than the lawnmower mod. (At first I was gonna do this clockwork mob thing but it would take too long
)The 1.0.0 version includes two bikes, the Maroon Marauder (normal speed, low fuel consumption - ideal for long distance travel) and the Black Widow (texture by Recoded) (high speed and fast acceleration but high fuel consumption too).

That shift+click bug has been fixed and you no longer need a key to mount it. Right-click to mount and LCTRL + Right-click to open the GUI. More animations have been added and now half your fall damage is absorbed by the bike at all times if you're on it. Still no HUD and I don't think I'll code one.
Oh and I was inspired by this.

[size=large]ParAPI[/size]
Yeah I kinda stole the idea for the name from ShockAhPI that _303 came up with.
I shot a 20+ min video explaining absolutely everything that took ages to render, then Camtasia decided to screw with me and deleted the thing so I just put the source code with some documentation in the download for now until I re-record it tomorrow.
If there's anything you, Mr. Modder, find hard about modding, tell me and I'll make it easier and add it to the API.
ParAPI includes:
-
Heads-up Display (HUD) API
- Allows you to cleanly and properly render multiple custom HUDs simultaneously. Animated Textures API
- Enables you to create high quality textures, that animate at a speed you decide, in just two lines of code and a single png with any number of frames. Chat color interface
- Lets you manipulate chat strings, both client and server-side, and change the colours of any part of the chat text intuitively and quickly. Useful for NPC text etc. Auto Block/Item ID Assigner
- Have a tiny mod and can't be bothered to make it read the IDs for just a few blocks and items from a props file? ParAPI will handle it for you and get free IDs. Timer Interface
- Adds a tick-based timer system (takes account of lag and game pause) combined with useful methods and an event handling system. A single timer instance could even go on for something like 4 years and reset itself indefinitely. The possibilities are endless. (NBT save coming eventually) NPC API
- Coming soon - Will include AIML-based artificial intelligence and regex + a file format I've developed for speech and interaction. See preview videos (or go on #risucraft and talk to Nova). Advanced GUI API
- Coming soon - See preview videos. Many people say they like the GUI stuff I do so I thought up a system to make it easier.
[size=large]TrackCraft[/size]
Never get lost again! Includes the breadcrumbs mod, flare guns and RC car mod; all of which are done, but not all of which are bug-free enough to release.

[size=large]Animated Particles API[/size]
A tool for modders that adds a load of pre-set particle animations to the game that can be used anywhere and at any event. Shouldn't really interest you unless you're a modder.

[size=large]Unobtanium - Development ceased[/size] because something similar already exists
This mod adds a block that, when placed, enables all the blocks that it touches directly (and the ones touching those) to actually float. For now the block can be sat on and moved like a boat in any horizontal direction moving the other blocks with it. Completely lag-free. The current structure size limit is 100 blocks but I'll probably make it 1000 on release. This is so that you don't dislodge your entire world if you accidentally place it on the floor.
It was initially intended to be a group of blocks like ship helms and spacecraft steering wheels to move ships and spacecrafts. As you can see there's still quite a few stuff I need to do. C:

For those of you who were wondering, I've finished ant colony AI (tile entities ftw) and have moved on to doing beehives. Will release eventually.

Thursday, August 11th 2011
In my quest for knowledge on this desolate island I came across a truly strange material. Apparently it's called "Netherrack" and contains a high proportion of organic material. Sometimes it seems almost alive, taking on properties of the infamous "Soul Sand".
One night at my workbench, I came across an intriguing discovery; crafting a block of netherrack atop two wooden sticks, the same way one would craft a shovel, creates an item that has a strange effect on a person's body. It seems to channel my life force towards the end of the staff, giving me the ability to turn any normal block into netherrack while causing my body physical damage. Just what does this imply about the origin of the netherrack?
Alas, this was not it's most outstanding characteristic. I faintly recall attempting to use it on a chicken (or other mob), after which my memory is in fragments. I remember seeing myself through different eyes and my normal movements were but a reflection. I was left in confusion after leaving this state of mental turmoil only by pressing "R" on the keyboard. The experience has changed me forever, in a way I cannot describe in my humble log book.

[size=medium]The Gravestone Mod[/size]
Basically, when you die it creates a gravestone on the ground beneath you. The orientation depends on which way the player was looking when they died. The gravestone sign text can be customised in the props file.
It started out as an SMP mod but then I realised just how stupid it would be to have this in SMP. Also the gravestones used to be really fancy and customisable but then they got awkwardly big so now it's just a mossy cobblestone block with a customisable sign.

[size=medium]Just a Jet Pack[/size]
This was coded for madcrazydrumma's "Space Realm" mod (no info on that thus far) and since it's mostly a prototype, it's far from anything releasable in either his, or my space-themed mod (more info on that later). Basically just a fancier way to fly. I meant to make fuel GUI at some point and maybe will eventually maybe.

[size=small]Secrets[/size][/size]
I've finished this SMP mod back during 1.7.3 called "PKTrading" (some cosmetic changes in the 1.8.1 version) based off of this. Basically a player requests to trade with you (or vice versa) and you get a little notification sound,
And once you accept you get the trading screen.
The screen updates in real-time for both players. Once the trader or tradee is happy, they can lock their offer
and only when both parties have locked their offers does the accept button enable.
Then both players accept and the items are exchanged along with the successful trade sound.
That mod pretty much prevents players from being dishonest when drop trading. I also wanna expand it into a full on currency system with a dynamic currency dependant on supply and demand of items instead of fixing prices. Maybe then we can even see servers suffer from market crashes induced by the real-estate market. xD
I've decided to release this for testing because running a server and two clients on my poor netbook kills my ram. I know that there's thisoccasional frequent item duping bug but maybe I can get behind it after testing:

This mod doesn't actually use anymore ram then vanilla minecraft, you shouldn't notice lag spikes with it when your withing already loaded chunks, however since this mod doesn't pre populated in the chunks but instead decorates after the chunks are loaded (an unfortunate, but ?impossible? to avoid situation) you may notice fps aka lag spikes when loading new chunks. Shaders are a mess with this mod, because they are attempting to apply shaders to every short grass block and "false leaves" block that exists - If you turn off any feature that has "waving grass" and "shadows" for leaves, and grass, you'll notice quite a large increase in FPS.
I wish this mod could somehow tell shaders that reeds exist so they could get a reflection in the water

Secondly.. Can I as a user have the ability to host images for my particular server (we used this mod to show which faction you were on, now everyone is confused - its quite funny really)
Thirdly... Your not making money, mojang CAN'T sue you for damages, infact you can show loss (hosting fees) the worst that would happen to you is a nice request from mojang's lawyer to please stop, and if you don't a lawful requirement to please stop. So stop being a scaredy cat.
Fourthly... You have no control over what capes your users upload and use, so therefor you can't be held liable for what they uploading. See Google vs. Viacom *on wikipedia
Fifthly... Please reopen this mod until and if an official request is made

About 2:35 in . Basically allow me to choose which blocks are removed by individually by a redstone signal.
Also, if you want to, you could update toggle blocks, The mod is literally my favoritest mod ever made, I still go back to 1.3 sometimes to play with it. That would be cool w. me. The double slab tweak is also pretty cool

Ah! yes thank you, you should put links to those post in your OP, so I can get around man!.
Also "OP" is "opening post(er)", "original post(er)" - You start to pick up forum slang after you have been here a while. That is a general forum slang, some MCF specific forum slang would be saying "-delete-" when you acidentally double post or wish to delete your post. (They removed non staff memebers deleting posts in the order to reserve post history of that post (every time you click save, or it auto saves, your post is put into history, and that copy is kept for moderation purposes for about a month)) and saying "-snip-" when you remove parts of a quote someone else wrote.
