Wow! That looks really fun. I'll download this when you release it. How did you add the jumping effect?


EDIT: Can you tell me how to add a new texture for a new block?

[commander501stappo]

Igreed! It looks awesome!

[bamdur123]

Thx guys. there are 2 ways to add a new texture to a block. through terrain.png and the java command

Code: Select all

public Moonsand(int blockID)
    {
        super(blockID, 30, Material.wood);
  	blockIndexInTexture = 124;//138? is block number in terrian.thing, 
//edit, you can only see your texture after reobfuscincation (spellfail) but //it works
    }
 
    public int getBlockTextureFromSide(int side)
    {
    	if(side==1) //Top of block, not needed since im using texture on all //sides
    	{
    		return 124;
    	}
        return blockIndexInTexture;

Thats how notch does it, but if you do it this way it might not have compatability with other mods and future updates. therse a modloader way thats lets you add custom overrides
(i might make a tutorial ) and as far as editing terrain.png (in temp/bin folder) i use gimp at 800% view but you can use adobe




edit: to get my jumping effect
it involves this

Code: Select all

entity.motionY += 0.65;

and ill probably release my own source code after the mod

[CressAlbane]

I figured out how to do the jumping effect earlier, and I know how to change which texture file the block calls, but where do I put my edited terrain.png so the game will reobfuscate it?

[bamdur123]

you take the terrain.png out of temp/bin/minecraft(ithink) and place it in your minecraft.jar your using for teh mod (place yoru deobfuscated files in minecraft.jar too and delete meta-inf folder)

[CressAlbane]

Thanks!
Here's an idea for the mod:
Once you have mined "moon sand", you can put it in the crafting table for "moon sand dust". The dust can then be crafted with swords and pickaxes (diamond and iron only) to increase the durability.

[bamdur123]

cool. i might add somethign like that.

Update-Added Super moon sand- 2 moon sand in crafting table, double the jump .

-Planned
Anti gravity boots - either let you fly or no damage when you were them (falling)
a flying vehicle of some sort

[CressAlbane]

A flying vehicle would be fun!
Is the "space" area going to be a new dimension?

[bamdur123]

kind of, im planning it be a new "biome" kind of like the nether you get there through a portal.
new update in first post

This looks awesome! I was thinking of like for a big time mod making a star wars-based mod, and making it so that you can travel to other planets a bit like the portal. This looks great! I can see a lot of potential coming from this, so keep up the work!

That would be cool. Or maybe you could do something like the ring in stargate for your portal thing and then have the entrance to space by hitting the sky at a certain speed or with a certain vehicle or vehicle type making a requirement of certain resources. Talking about this makes me want to learn to mod with java and help you. my friend and I have been dreaming of space in MC.
