I noticed you uploaded some files on GitHub. I downloaded them, and it didn't work in minecraft. Are those just development files for the mod?
Yes. With some spare time creeping up I've decided to try and update this again for functionality in all major versions of MC since 1.7.10. I updated the files to a 1.12.2 branch in the hopes of updating it straight to 1.12.2 and then 1.13, but so much has changed in regards to Forge since 1.7 so I'll have to take baby steps and update it to 1.8 first, etc. The bonus of this is that it will be available on all releases when all is said and done.
Again, this is just an attempt to update it. I haven't touched the Forge API in many years now, (Although I have been developing with Spigot for my multiplayer server) so it's a lot to have to refresh myself on. And try and figure out how this crappy code I wrote actually worked at one point.
Don't expect any release date or expect it to even release at all. As time goes on and work gets in the way I lose more and more free time to that. This is just a hobby right now for me, so it wont be fast and it wont be full of features unfortunately.
Well I for one want fluffy rainbow penguins in Minecraft that can fly and you can ride them and they can kill you in one hit. But we cant always get what we want, now can we? The developers are not going to add in cars, planes, or helicopters to Minecraft. None of these suggestions fit with the vanilla Minecraft genre. There are other options to explore your world, all of which can be just as fast as planes and cars and helicopters. Use pistons and slime blocks to make a "plane" type thing that you can ride and explore with, build a minecart track to explore nearby areas on the ground, store blocks in chest minecarts, etc. If you really want planes and helicopters and cars, get a mod for singleplayer and a plugin for multiplayer. There is absolutely NO way Mojang is going to add these, barring a joke based on this thread.
I can take over sound production, but what do you use to make the siren model/3D renders?
Not sure as of now, I did start updating it and I got most of the easy stuff out of the way, but the 1.7 to 1.8 update was so huge on everything. The block code has been completely re-written and so has the rendering code, so I have to dig a bit deeper to get the models to work. Like I said though, don't expect a bug free release soon
So this past year has been very busy for me. Some personal issues that I don't feel I need to get into on a public forum and whatnot. Also I competed in the Skills Canada competition for Electrician (And won, woo me! ) so now Canada is sending me to WorldSkills, which requires me to practice when I get off work. I also am running a Minecraft server of my own. Between trying to balance all these, this plugin kinda was thrown on the backburner. Unfortunately I am not able to put in long hours of coding to get this plugin up to date. If anyone wants to get in touch with me to takeover the plugin, feel free. If I can find time to update this plugin I will, but it will be a while for a release, if I decide to even update it, since I haven't coded a mod in almost 2 years now. Sorry to disappoint any of you guys.
Yikes, it seems I neglected to check on this thread for a while. I haven't been coding this mod for a while. Between work, school, my social life, Spigot plugin coding, and helping run a server, I kinda put SirenMod on the back burner.
I will release the updated version of SirenMod, with smoke detectors, sprinklers, and everything else within the next few days if possible. It will be for 1.7.10 unfortunately though, since I'm only about 1/4 of the way through updating to 1.8. My plan is to scrap 1.8, and wait until Forge 1.9 comes out and try my best to do one massive update.
Also, thank you for all of the requests you guys and girls have sent in. I will keep them in mind for the 1.9 update. I'll also try and integrate a volume slider, and the option to use a custom sound pack that you can create and download yourselves for the mod.
I have also seen all of your beta tester requests, and I am very sorry that I haven't responded to them. When I update to 1.9, I will get most of you guys to beta test for me.
Once again, apologies for not being completely active on this project. I will try my best to keep it fresh and bug free in the future though.
Just as a general question, is this mod (version 0.0.1 for 1.6.4) server compatible?
After looking at the crash reports, I suspect not however. The crash report seems to tell me that the mod, or at least for the 1.6.4 version, was intended for the client only.
The error comes up with the "client.audio.SoundManager". (To sum up an entire crash report.)
I guess I know what the answer is going to be but, it is worth checking just in case.
Anyways, thanks.
Thanks for your interest in SirenMod! Unfortunately, when I first coded for 1.6.4, I didn't code it for multiplayer. The newest version for 1.7.10 will work in multiplayer flawlessly though

Okay huge update. (Not the plugin unfortunately
)

Hopefully I can work something out for you all.

^ 1.8 was going to be a complete rewrite. Id rather wait for 1.9, and perhaps back-release to 1.8 when 1.9 is done.

That is the best use for these sirens that I have ever seen!
