Eureka!

Hence why it's for adventure maps. The mapmakers can hide goodies in vases.

Yeah, to be specific it is so that adventure map creators can create Zelda-style vases where breaking them can reveal an item. It also allows for interesting situations where say the player needs to shoot a vase with a bow, to drop an item and trigger a pressure plate or what have you.

If it helps any, I strongly suspect this new feature will be ready for release within the next six months ;)

It surely narrows things down by a lot. Think that it could be "between now and the end of time". So, thanks for the time estimate !

Hmmm...must talk to the PR firm about discouraging suicide unless captured by the enemy.

We actually hadn't thought of the bow thing yet, but we were planning on using vases extensively on the map we're working on.

Small moment of weekness. It passed. Too bad now I'm dead, possessing my PC, trapped and destined to stay here forever waiting on new BTW's releases....

I can make some calls, if you want. I don't think we have any humans available for soul capsulation. But I can get you a chimpanzee or a poison dart frog for a nice price.

Hmmmm...come to think of it, there would definitely be a wide-range of uses for a disembodied consciousness floating around in the net within the new world order.

Don't sweat it man. I approve of your decision.

Not as useful as you might think. I still have to use google to find stuff, and still can't find the deep web...

...not to mention the complete inability to make use of all the porn which occupies the majority of the net.

Yeah, I guess it does kinda suck :)

Well no, it doesn't. Wasn't it your whole point ? :p

just find a super computer like skynet and run a few stimulations simulations ;)

And the thread has devolved into sex jokes, and it's not my fault this time!

[orangeweaver]

These hints are going to drive me crazy! I trust however that nothing but pure greatness can come of Tom Waits and Nick Cave.

[plaxor]

The ability to throw poop and eat it ?? I want it

The update will be have somewhere between 1 and 3856 new features.

If those musical hints are not just trolling, and considering FC's been playing BuildCraft and SpaceChem... If this is what I think it might be, it'll be awesome!

Oh, who am I kidding. I call musical-teaser-troll. ;)

For today's hint, I will say that this is probably the most complex feature I've put into the mod, second only to the Pulleys & Platforms.

This shit be crazy :)

I knew it was villager breeding. Adding in a complete seduction system has to be complicated.

[Aduis1210]

So watching the video of emotion idiot i find that its something to do with keeping somethign away from the player
maybe Netting? maybe some kinda soul forged force that keeps mobs away from the player?

or maybe a Cat hamper:S

[Ribky]

So... we can set up an assembly line of villagers who will cry into the brewing stand to automate potion making while tossing milk?

Hopefully less of a pain to code I hope.

[Stormweaver]

Hmm.

[FlowerChild]

Hopefully less of a pain to code I hope.

Yeah, I don't think it'll be as bad. The main technical challenge is that I'm trying to cram what would normally take at least 8 bits of meta-data into the 4 that the game provides (the only other alternative being to use a Tile Entity, which would be totally unreasonable for this application). The eureka involved how exactly I can do that, however, it complicates the code a great deal as I have to special-case a ton of situations based on the limited information I have stored.

It's one of those features that won't look all that complex unless you're a programmer and find yourself wondering "how the fuck did he do that?". However, it will remain very cool for everyone else, and hopefully even on low end systems given my choice of implementation :)

Speaking of Pulleys & Platforms, anyone else notice how a conceptually similar feature has turned into a development black-hole for a certain modder? Hopefully that serves to explain why I limited my own implementation to keep the scope reasonable :)

By any chance was Jeb's write up on how he fixed doors at all an influence in this?
