New Release! (BTW V3.0)

[MoRmEnGiL]

But..wait, there was just a second ago.. 2.99 ..and a new version already..and a major one? But..

Mind = Blown.

Man you are like a Santa Claus that knows what kids want better than themselves do, on a permanent Christmas mode, and delivering without fail.

Has anyone been able to figure what the new age contains besides tanned leather gear?

This thread makes my day :D

BTW, FC, love the new steam block, any hints on how you craft the engine?

FC said there were added features. I don't expect the features to be blocks, but either items or a change in behavior of existing blocks/items I was imagining. Am I misunderstanding something? The idea of features for a new age implies it comes post-anvil, but I cannot discover what that is.

Edit: Yes, I know it is called Gimp Mask, Leather Vest, Chaps, and Biker Boots. But I need to think of it as tanned leather gear so I call it that.

Despite the fact I had BC, BTW and Zeppelins running fine earlier this morning, Forge now breaks my MC for some reason. =.=

Also, looking through the recipe book, I only found the tanned leather gear. I'm starting to suspect a Halloween trick...

Does that recipe book include the anvil, cauldron, crucible, and kiln too?

I haven't found anything yet, but who knows what might be awaiting discovery?

[Stormweaver]

the recipie book only shows crafting table recipies.

I think I heard that the guy doing the newer (and seemingly better) version is going to try and find a way of getting furnace and mod recipies in there as well though, which could be good.

[Xekrom337]

First impression.

"OMG OMG A NEW RELEASE! A NEW AGE! YAY!"

I thought it already showed Furnace recipes? Andi think he's working on an API.
And its some other guy, NOT Risugami.

That's why I said 'the guy' >.<

I havn't had the chance to try it out yet, but I've got a feeling I'll be rebuilding my JAR in a couple of days anyways.

I think FC is just getting a well deserved giggle over everyone scrambling to find what's new in the "New Age"


*Teehee*

[Rosethorns]

I agree, FC is having a giggle. The age of Domination (get it, tehe)

TMI is what tells me this.

[DaveYanakov]

When I saw 'gimp mask' the first thing I thought was Age of Tarantino...

Based on what we've seen of Steve's use of souls I wonder if this will continue toward an Age of Slavery.

[Rasuth]

FC, you heartless son of a B.
There goes my weekend of cleaning, learning and other general usefull stuff.

Haven't even had a chance to try out 2.99 properly.

Thanks as always! Keep it up.
Also, thank you guys for not spoilering the new recipes. Hope I don't stumble across them here any time soon.

[Itamarcu]

Thanks again FC!
But can you give us a slight hint about the new age (except Tanned armor)?
Like you did with the kiln.

I can't craft\create anything new, since I don't know what to search for - lenses perhaps?

At least tell us the materials or the way to create the new tings (crafting, putting in a cauldron, baking, passing through a hopper, etc.)

[Mrchaim]

*sniff sniff*

...We need a goat in here. I smell a troll!

That or a flamethrower.

Well played FC, Well played.

[Itamarcu]

Well, I THINK the Block ID of the lens is 240, and the lens is the THIS IS NOT A BLOCK in Too Many Items.
What is sprite number 250?

[Alrin]

Suddenly, the PC release delay of Arkham City doesn't matter anymore.
Seriously, I am .. I mean.. what the... how am I.. *head explodes*

Now, if only the world I play with HCB on would spawn some frakkin wolves so I can progress in the tech tree, but noooo. No dung for me :(

Really psyched to see what the new stuff is!
Thank you thank you thank you!

edit: I guess it helps to complain on the internet, then you get wolves!

[Battosay]

Woot, thanks :)
Always so fast to release the bug fixes !

As for the New Age ... it's either really well hidden, or you're just trolling us ;)

[walker_boh_65]

I am assuming the latter

[Rasuth]

Well FC said something along the lines of: "Either 3.0 is really big, adding a lot of new stuff or quite small leading up to a bunch of new stuff." Considering it's only been like 3 days since 2.99 I'm assuming this 3.0 is of the second kind.

Expect more in the next release, I guess.

[Alexia]

Ye there's no new age here, plus there's no textures for the tanned leather leather gear, could just be cause of texture pack though.
I checked the class files, nothing new there.

I think this is just a bug fix patch and FC is having a laugh.

[Itamarcu]

Yeah, it's probably just you.
I can see the armor just fine.
Are you using Battosay's?

[Feliponius]

"You hear that whistle coming?"

Perhaps that is an indication of what's going on? I found it in the splashes.txt file but I'm not sure if it's been there the whole time...Well...let me check, actually. (waits a minute) Ah, well it's in the previous versions as well, but I can hope!

Either way, that was an incredibly quick update sequence! Definitely wasn't expecting that! Great job flower, once again!I just hope someone stumbles (maybe me?) on this new mod feature soon before the suspense turns me terminal!

-Edited for clarity-

[Urian]

"You hear that whistle coming?" was added to the splash texts in BTW2.81 (released July 17th)

It is however likely a teaser :)

Combine it with what the latest releases have brought as well as the fact that FC has expressed an interest in perhaps adding mobs and we end up with this scenario:
"You hear someone whistling? If you're wearing you butt-less chaps you better not drop the soap!"

[Mason11987]

Did some testing and excluded some things that could have been changed.

All the leather armor does nothing when used on all mobs (didn't test zombie pigmen, ghast and squids though, but I'm doubtful). I also thought maybe you could saddle new things (biker boots!?) but it doesn't look like you can, and riding pigs is as useless as ever. Haven't found a dog yet though... sooo... something else to test? I doubt it.
