Personally, I think something similar to this should be implemented, especially with the whole load order problem and the fact that you cannot prospect for ores added in the config

------Decided to make better use of this space-----

Here's a little teaser.

Also grabbed my statement from a discussion on FTB forums:

Current situation on ore doubling:

1) I can not change any EA recipes unless they occur in the crafting grid.
2) TFC is fairly specific on how much ore you get when mining. Having an extraction process to get more ore out of a single cubic meter would make sense, however you have already mined the ore and removed the stone from it, therefore it makes little to no sense to make another attempt at extraction. Possibly when more advanced mining machines are added, I'll add something that gets you more ore out of them, but, no promises on that one.

IF you crash while playing, and the crash report says something along the lines of:

Currently, it will not snow in winter. The mod author has agreed to fix this issue already.

I had a different idea for working around the issue with Electric Age.

 

What if one of the unused TFC ores (Microcline, Olivine, Petrified Wood, Satinspar, Selenite, Serpentine) was added back in as a custom generation.  Then a recipe for cooking it in a TFC fire/forge to produce nuggets and a crafting recipe that would turn that output in to the material that the mod is expecting.

 

I'm not sure how difficult it would be to add those two recipes but that offers a way of working around the above linked violation of registration timing.

AFAIK, those do not have any processing recipes in TFC, and I am unable to add any. Either way, I will be using custom blocks for aesthetic purposes.

You can also use Minetweaker with Modtweaker to do this. I have already begun to work on this for the next update for my pack, I'll also create a thread and post the scripts there (when they are done, of course, it is a slow very slow process). 

Yes, I was talking about the the green triangles and red circles, it's probably from another mod like Weather 2. 

For the future update(s), I will be removing all native, non-TFC mod ore gen. Quadrum was added in update 2.5.0 for the purpose of creating custom blocks and items. For each non-TFC ore that is required, I will be creating a block (there will need to be multiple blocks for each ore due to stone variant it will spawn in, why I requested a feature/expansion like this) and using them for all world gen. Because of this, (unless this breaks as well,)  the world gen issue should be fixed in the next update. 

Also, @kitty,

Is this from TFC? If it is, I assume that it handles the equatorial changes? And for the TFC API, I know a mod dev who wanted to hook into it to make changes to the players hunger and thirst meters, but he could not find the functions within the API, do they exist?

The world gen crash will be fixed in the next update, as will the extra information on tools.

Already have sent fixes for those issues to FTB, so when they update (2.5.2), everything should be working. 

Pushed hotfix 2.5.1, removes minetweaker recipe maker. to join the server, you must disable or delete to connect to the public server

Is there like a test server for this? If not, is it possible to make one?

There is a public server, it should already be listed in your client. IF not, the ip is mc.darkserver.co.uk

@kev12east

 

You, sir, are awesome!  Please continue refining and upgrade this pack. 

 

btw:  Don't worry if you can't get weather2 working properly with the tfc snow. Seems like a lot of work to me.

Glad you enjoy the pack, I've talked with the author of the weather mod, and he has agreed to fix it.

is the ftb version updated I want to take a crack at it again

 

Edit: It works but it's really laggy which is either my computer or the particle effects or the weather mod unless that's already disabled.

Tray installing fastcraft and/or FPS++, both should help with lag issues.

If your still interested in doing textures for Weather 2, I believe the necessary files can be found in CoroUtil-1.1.jarassetsextrentedrenderertexturesparticles. 

Ah, ok. Thanks for the info, I will ask the mod author of Weather 2 if it would be possible to change that, and hopefully that fixes this snow issue. 

Thanks for all the help Kitty, it's nice to have devs that actually respond

@kittey:

 public static boolean canSnow(World world, int x, int y, int z)

{

  if(TFC_Climate.getHeightAdjustedTemp(world, x, y, z) <= 0)

return true;

  return false;

}

 @Override

public boolean canPlaceBlockAt(World world, int i, int j, int k)

{

  Block block = world.getBlock(i, j - 1, k);

  if (block == TFCBlocks.Ice)

return false;

  if (block == TFCBlocks.Leaves || block == TFCBlocks.Leaves2)

return true;

  if (World.doesBlockHaveSolidTopSurface(world, i, j-1, k))

return true;

  return false;

}

 @Override

public boolean canSnowAt(int x, int y, int z, boolean checkLight)

{

  if (TFC_Climate.getHeightAdjustedTemp(worldObj,x, y, z) > 0)

return false;

  Material material = worldObj.getBlock(x, y, z).getMaterial();

  if (material == Material.snow)  // avoid vanilla MC to replace snow

return false;

  if(TFCBlocks.Snow.canPlaceBlockAt(worldObj, x, y, z) && material.isReplaceable())

return true;

  return false;

}

Why do all of these return false? I've been reading the code and cannot figure out why these return true. (I only have a very basic understanding of Java, so I apologize if this is a stupid question). Also, in TFCProvider.java, Material.snow is used (in place of Blocks.snow?), would changing this to Blocks.snow or changing Weather2 to use Material.snow (github) fix the lack of snow placement? 

Disable mipmapping and antioscopic filtering, it fixes that bug

Cool, thanks. Going to go ahead and ask the Weather 2 author for direct support, hopefully things will be fixed.

I mean, does TFC have any specific rules for it being placed? I.E. if you see snow falling, can snow form on the ground?

Be careful distributing the github version, there is often a reason we haven't done an actual release with the content on there yet, because there are times where we haven't confirmed the fixes/changes applied are actually working 100% properly.

I always try to test the version out fully before updating. 

Also, on the topic of snow, does TFC do anything special with it? The weather2 fix I made seems to have been a fluke, and I'm curious if there's anything I can do to re-fix it.

Thanks for the tip, saw the github bump to Forge 1272, and since I always use the Github version, was going to update anyways.
