    posted a message on Overlord - Raise and command an army of skeletons

    Raise armies of skeletons to defend your base, or go to war with other players!

    Along with the ability to raise armies, Overlord also includes:

    • An unlimited levelling system in which your skeleton warriors get faster and stronger as they gain levels
    • An alliance system to allow alliances between players
    • Multiple AI modes for your skeletons' attacks and movement, which you can configure per-skeleton or army-wide.
    • Advancements!
    • Possibly a fun easter egg or two.

    Check out my official addon, Mechanical Soldiers.


    This mod adds a guide book in-game, as long as you install Guide API.

    Old guide(is not up-to-date):


    The very first thing you'll want to do is craft either the Overlord's Stamp(these are cheap, and one-time use) or the Overlord's Seal(more expensive, but unlimited uses, and can control whole army's AI).

    Overlord's Stamp(Any dye will work):

    Overlord's Seal(1.11.2+):

    Overlord's Seal(1.11-):

    Next, you need to hold the Seal/Stamps and right click with it to claim it/them as yours. It will gain the glowy enchanted effect.

    About the Skeletons:

    Baby Skeleton:

    The weakest skeleton type. Only has 8 health, is able to equip armor and a weapon, can only use melee attacks.

    Converted Skeleton:

    A mid-level skeleton. Has 20 health, can equip armor and weapons, is able to use a bow, has a 9 slot inventory, and is able to equip Augments.

    Skeleton Warrior:

    The most powerful skeleton in the base mod. Health starts at 16, and increases with level. Can equip armor and weapons, can use a bow, has a 9 slot inventory, is able to equip Augments, and most importantly, can level up, which increases health, speed, attack power, and step volume.

    To make a Baby Skeleton:

    Start off by making a Baby Skeleton Maker.

    You have several items you need to put in the Baby Skeleton Maker:

    • 16 bones(configurable amount)
    • 1 milk bucket
    • 1 Overlord's Seal/Stamp. (Make sure you have claimed it first, or the Baby Skeleton won't obey you)
    • Any equipment you want your Baby Skeleton to be wearing when it spawns(You can change its equipment at any time)
    • A skinsuit, if you want your Baby Skeleton to have it when it spawns

    To make a Skeleton Warrior:

    Start off by making the Skeleton Warrior Maker.

    You have several items you need to put in the Skeleton Maker:

    • 32 bones(configurable amount)
    • 2 milk buckets(it will store the milk in its internal tank and give you back empty buckets)
    • 1 Overlord's Seal/Stamp. (Make sure you have claimed it first, or the Skeleton Warrior won't obey you)
    • Any equipment you want your Skeleton Warrior to be wearing when it spawns(You can change its equipment at any time)
    • An augment, if you want your Skeleton Warrior to have it when it spawns
    • A Skinsuit, if you want your Skeleton Warrior to have it when it spawns

    To make a Converted Skeleton:

    Note: This is the same process as curing a Zombie Villager, but done on a Skeleton.

    1.) Make sure it has the weakness potion effect.

    2.) Right Click it with a Golden Apple

    3.) Wait 2 to 8 minutes for the process to complete

    The converted Skeleton will be much like a Skeleton Warrior, except it cannot gain experience and level up.

    Powering up your Skeleton Warriors:

    To make your Skeleton Warrior more powerful, you have two options.

    1.) Milk:

    First, right click it to open the Skeleton Warrior GUI.

    Then, put Milk Buckets or Bottles in its inventory, and it will drink them. The higher its level gets, the more milk it will take to level it up.

    2.) Combat

    Your Skeleton Warrior will draw in XP from defeated mobs, and can gain levels that way.


    Healing your Skeletons:

    If your Skeleton has been hurt in combat, don't worry, it can be healed. Just shift+right click it while holding a Milk Bucket, or throw a Milk Bottle at it.

    Alternatively, you can level it up, and it will fully heal then.

    Another method of healing, for Skeleton Warriors, is to give them an item that grants a Regen augment.

    AI Modes:

    Movement:

    • Stationed - Your warrior will not move or melee attack.
    • Follower - Your warrior will follow you around, much like a pet Wolf does.
    • Wander Area - Your warrior will wander in a 32 block radius of where it is standing when this AI is assigned

    Attacks:

    • Aggressive - Your warrior will attack every potential threat. Non-allied players, mobs, and anything that attacks it, and anything you attack.
    • Defensive - Your warrior will fight off mobs and anything that attacks it or you.
    • Passive - Your warrior goes full pacifist and won't attack anything, even if it is attacked.

    Skinsuits:

    Want your Skeleton Warrior to look more like a player? How about preventing it from burning in sunlight? Make a skinsuit for it, and you can accomplish both.

    To create a skinsuit, it takes a full set of leather armor, 2 rotten flesh, a red dye, green dye(cactus green), and blue dye(lapis lazuli). The shape doesn't matter.

    If you want it to be any skin other than Steve, you need to then put the item in an Anvil and name it the player name you want the skin from. It is case sensitive.

    To apply the skinsuit to a Skeleton Warrior, Shift+Right Click it while holding the Skinsuit.

    To remove a skinsuit from a Skeleton Warrior, Shift+Right Click it while holding Shears.

    Augments:

    Augments are items that give your units special bonuses. Baby Skeletons cannot have augments.

    List of augments:

    • Iron Ingot - Gives the unit Resistance
    • Obsidian - Gives the unit Resistance, Slowness, and (if burning) Fire Resistance
    • Anvil - Makes the unit fall quickly, and injure anything it lands on. Also grants Resistance.
    • Cake - It's Party Time! Units launch fireworks on level up.
    • Golden Apple - Slow health Regen
    • Enchanted Golden Apple - Fast Health Regen
    • Wither Skeleton Skull - Gives attacks the Wither effect, and adds Fire Resistance if needed

    Btw, the cake was a lie.

    Can you equip the skeletons with war mods firearms (eg: Vic's Modern Warfare, Counter Guns)?


    No, not at the moment. I may eventually make it possible.

    posted a message on Mob Rebirth - Just when you think you've killed it...

    Overview:

    Mob Rebirth is a mod that makes it so when mobs die, there is a chance that it will be 'reborn'.
    You can configure most features of the mod, including whether 'rebirth' means dropping the spawn egg(Not recommended) or spawning another of the same mob in its place, rebirth chance, whether animals can be reborn, whether mobs can die from anything or just being killed by the player, whether or not extra mobs should be reborn, the chance for extra mobs to be reborn, and the extra mob rebirth mode.


    As of version 6.1.1, it is now possible to set mob rebirth properties in the config.

    More Configurable features:
    Should slimes be reborn?
    Should bosses be reborn?
    Should sunlight kill the undead?
    Should it be limited to vanilla creatures?(This one is just in case some mod entity causes problems when reborn, problems should be reported to me on the issue tracker so I can fix them)

    ....Anyone else have the keychain vanish when you attempt to add a skeleton to it? Lost two warrior skele's and two keychain's due to this.

    Fixed crashing if number of squads is not 0 or 5.
    Bottles now play the sound when milking cows.
    Fixed the recipe for the crown showing incorrectly in the guide book.
    Fixed keychains and the skeletons they are used on vanishing in Survival Mode.

    posted a message on Overlord - Raise and command an army of skeletons
    Quote from Crafty_Angyl»

    What about some kind of horn, drum, or gong for a summoning item? A "Call To Arms". Tuba of the dead just seems a little odd. ;) You need to craft it to bind it to you and your armies, like you now do with the seals and stamps. Or perhaps a seal or stamp is needed for crafting it. The menu for the guide can add whole armies to the summoning item, maybe a check box next to the listings, and the individual skeletons will have an option to be bound or unbound to the summoning item, like adding or removing them from an army. Right click and the selected armies will be summoned to the sound of whatever instrument you are using to call them, maybe rising from the ground for visual effect. I'm not expecting some climbing animation, but I'm imagining them just appearing rising upright from the top of whatever block they are summoning on. Shift right click, the sound will play again, and the selected minions will sink into the ground with a particle effect, like undead going back to sleep.

    The biggest hurdle I see with this is that it would be extremely difficult to summon skeletons from parts of the world that aren't loaded. As cool of an idea as this is, I just don't see it working right.

    Here is a section the comment about it from CurseForge, I think these item ideas are pretty good, and possible.
    "Some kind of transportation item - a phylactery bauble or bone sack, maybe, into which you can stuff skeletons so as to move them between dimensions or sneak them into diplomatic negotiations."

    posted a message on Overlord - Raise and command an army of skeletons

    Overlord 2.2.3 released for 1.11.2! Changelog:

    Seals and Stamps are now always claimed when crafted.
    The guide now explains Alliances, Enemies, and Squads.
    Commands should no longer require op.


    If these changes work(Tbh, I haven't tested any of them yet), I will port this version to 1.10.2. You'll have to tell me if it does, because I don't see any time for the next few days that I can test it. If not, use the issue tracker, and I will address any remaining issues asap.


    Also, someone on CurseForge suggested an idea that I really like, and want to implement. An item that allows you to pick up and transport your skeletons. This would allow you to carry them in to other dimensions, and anywhere they wouldn't be able to walk. So, my question for you all, what should the item be?

    posted a message on Command Keybindings - Add keybinds for commands! Works on servers!

    Ever get tired of having to re-type a command every time you want to use it? Those days are over! Now you can simply set the commands you want bound and the keys to bind them to, and you can use them instantly, just by pressing the key. And the best part? This mod is client side only! This means it doesn't have to be installed on the server in order to work, and you can use it when connected to any server.


    Now able to bind as many commands as you want, as of version 5.0.0.3.

    posted a message on Fire's Clay Spawn - A more controllable clay generation



    Fire's Clay Spawn is a mod I made to spawn clay underground like an ore. The clay can be set to spawn at the same rate and layers as Coal, Iron(default), Gold, Diamond, Redstone, Lapis, and Emerald. You can also manually override the maximum layer it generates at, the minimum layer it generates at, and the ore vein size. It also supports generation in styles similar to ores from Forestry and UnLogic II. I plan to add support for generating in styles similar to ores from more mods as well. All of these settings can be applied to Hardened Clay generation as well. Also, the mod can be set to generate Stained Hardened Clay, adding a bit of color to your mines.
    Retrogen can be achieved using SimpleRetrogen by cpw. Just add "the_fireplace.clayspawn.worldgen.WorldGeneratorClay" to the config.

    For those of you saying this is a duplicate of Pam's Clay Spawn:
    First of all, this mod is a lot more configurable than Pam's Clay Spawn. On mine, you can manually set the highest layer, lowest layer, and vein size, or input the name of a vanilla ore and some other modded ores to get the vein size and/or highest layer and/or lowest layer from. And you can generate Stained Hardened Clay.
