This post was supposed to go up days ago…
Hello!
I wanted to announce that the Mystcraft forums are up and running. Veovis and Dinnerdog put a lot of time and effort into this, so a big thanks to them! 🙂
The forums can be accessed here.
I also wanted to give a general update on the status of Mystcraft for 1.3.
I’ve already had a working build for 1.3.2/Forge217 for a while now, and just now I updated to 1.3.2/Forge233. We’re working on moving the base edits Mystcraft needs into Forge so that it will be installable like every other mod. 🙂 That probably won’t happen for the next release, but we are working on it! 🙂
Here’s a changelog for everything I’ve been working on since the last release:
- Moved to Forge Edition only (note that it is still a jar mod)
- Eliminates usage of lang file (uses internal functions instead)
- Fixes EXP syncing on link
- Fixes platform generation
- Fixes bedrock generation on Standard Terrain
- Fixes (visual) loss of potion effects on link
- Modifies falling block rendering
- Improves communication of falling block info
- Removes ‘falling block’ packet
- Breaks mod generation in ages (solution pending)
- Cleans up and improves tpx command
- Adds flags to the config to enable/disable mystcraft item crafting
- Tweaks fallback system in DimensionManager
- Adds some missing block names
- Fixes placing receptacles
- Force closes the book gui on held items if the book is no longer in your inventory
- Moves biome initialization later (trying to catch other mod registered biomes)
- Eliminates use of ‘packets’ (uses Forge network channel)
- Fixes issue with opening book gui when placing book in receptacle
- Moves linking and age books back to transport tab
- Updates to Forge233
- Changes from dimension fallback system to dim registration system
- TPX no longer auto-creates dims
- Adds myst-create command for creating mystcraft ages by commandline (worlds created in this manner do not have instability)
- Fixes sending of age data on player login
- Deleting agedatas no longer reuses slot
- Adds instabilityEnabled flag to agedata
- Fixes a bug with the nextFreeDimId counter added to DimensionManager
- [hidden]
- Switches logging to use FML Logging
- Fixes a bug with unloading worlds leaving incorrect world array state
- [hidden]
- Adds dummy SkyProvider (standard rendering in place)
“Moved to Forge Edition only (not that it is still a jar mod)”
I assume this is a typo? Did you mean “(note that it is still a jar mod)”?
Awesome updates at any rate! Can’t wait! Also great to hear that typical mod behaviour is coming! I assume that means no more jar installing. Which is awesome.
Thanks for the update. I can be patient and wait for it to be ready for 1.3, but it drives me up the wall when I just hear nothing for a week.
Good to know that there’s progress.
Awesome! Not that I wont wait as long as necessary but just for curiosity, when do you reckon it will be up for download? :3
Tyanet, the best way to keep informed is to stick around irc, that’s where you’ll get the best and most up to date information. 🙂
Spacemonkey, all I can say is soon. Testing is going on right now, features are frozen, but there are still some major issues that need to be taken care of.
