Re: Spoilers for 4.3 explosives

Did some testing and you are both correct actually. Taking ANY damage (even poison tick) while having blasting oil in inventory will cause it to explode.

Re: Spoilers for 4.3 explosives

Nitroglycerin is extremely unstable and can explode form any stronger physical shock or heat, and since BtW blasting oil (though IRL "blasting oil" was mix of gunpowder and nitroglycerin sold by Nobel before invention of dynamite) is based if it so there's definitely lot of potential ways ...

Lot's cool stuff in this release, thanks again FC!

I also love how intuitive recipes for Blasting Oil and Dynamite are, I figured those pretty much instantly.

Re: Flower's Dev Diary (Week of October 23rd)

I mentioned it back in my first interview, but the MC modding scene has always struck me as a bit of an oddity given the focus on having a shit-load of mods installed all at once. I don't know, this was how things worked in various roleplaying games (Baldur's Gate and other infinite engine mods, El...

Re: Morvelaira's News Compilation

The whole thing is just silly, and I think it takes the cake for the most poorly thought-out recipe in the game. I still think Notch's original Golden Apple takes the cake. Nothing like infusing 154 metric tons of gold into a fruit with a crafting table. Though admittedly they were intended as a re...

You don't need lenses, you could simply have a flood gate which would let water flow bellow the detector blocks.

Re: Identifying people and places in SMP play

Re: Isabella II BTW Addon [WIP] [MC 1.3.2] [BTW 4.21]

Actually you forgot to put the border around textures used for grass and soul sand planters. Border? Darn, I can't access a computer now... As in edge of the planter. Now you have to actually add it in texture sheet or the top of the planter will be solid grass/soulsand texture. It's a simple cut a...

Re: Isabella II BTW Addon [WIP] [MC 1.3.2] [BTW 4.21]

Concerning the input side on Gearboxes, I tried at least 15 different arrangements, and I couldn't find any that looked as good as the current one... Not to say I'll stop looking, but I like the current one. :/ Maybe simply make that border out of darker/lighter wood while keeping it the same shape...

Re: Isabella II BTW Addon [WIP] [MC 1.3.2] [BTW 4.20]

You should leave the CTM file for pumpkins/bookshelves/reeds/sandstone, all you need to do is copy/paste the new wood texture for the top of bookshelves and fence/fence gate textures, ad there's nothing wrong with wool files. Actually now that I looked into it I think only ctm-wood1.png needs to go.

Re: Isabella II BTW Addon [WIP] [MC 1.3.2] [BTW 4.20]

The new wood textured on other blocks looks awesome, but I think the gearbox input side should stand out more, as of now it's very hard to distinguish it from regular sides.

EDIT: Also the top of bookshelves are still in the old style of wood too (that's because they use CTM).

Thank the flying spaghetti monsters. The current AI is just awful. Notch's simpler original AI was a hell of a lot better at making mobs semi interesting.
