Hmm, and when you add an entry like "SnowInThisBiomes" which takes value like "Taiga" or "Ocean, Forest, Plains" and so on?
Its just a single line more.
And for coding, i dont know, how your mod works, but isnt anywhere some sort of loop, which iterates over the biomes, that get affected? And there you only need to change the array, which the loop shall go trough.

//In BiomeGenBase.java:
/*All biome defs same as vanilla in case the mod is disabled, however "public static" instead of "public static final"*/

//In mod_ModernWinterMode.java:
if(freezeAllTheBiomes)
{
forest = (new BiomeGenForest()).setTemperatureRainfall(0.0F, 0.5F).setOtherParamsLikeNormal();
desert = (new BiomeGenDesert()).setTemperatureRainfall(0.0F, 0.5F).setOtherParamsLikeNormal();
//Blah blah blah down the list of twenty-something biomes, the only ones untouched are Nether and Ender
}
else
{
forest = (new BiomeGenForest()).setTemperatureRainfall(/*default values*/).setOtherParamsLikeNormal();
desert = (new BiomeGenDesert()).setTemperatureRainfall(/*default values*/).setDisableRain().setOtherParamsLikeNormal();
//...
}

Well, I haven't quite figured out how to parse arbitrary strings with MLProp yet... but yeah, it could be done once I know how.

Anyway, pseudocode for the current biome determinating:

//In BiomeGenBase.java:
/*All biome defs same as vanilla in case the mod is disabled, however "public static" instead of "public static final"*/

//In mod_ModernWinterMode.java:
if(freezeAllTheBiomes)
{
forest = (new BiomeGenForest()).setTemperatureRainfall(0.0F, 0.5F).setOtherParamsLikeNormal();
desert = (new BiomeGenDesert()).setTemperatureRainfall(0.0F, 0.5F).setOtherParamsLikeNormal();
//Blah blah blah down the list of twenty-something biomes, the only ones untouched are Nether and Ender
}
else
{
forest = (new BiomeGenForest()).setTemperatureRainfall(/*default values*/).setOtherParamsLikeNormal();
desert = (new BiomeGenDesert()).setTemperatureRainfall(/*default values*/).setDisableRain().setOtherParamsLikeNormal();
//...
}

So long story short, even if I do add a string input config, I still have to wrap every biome definition in an "if flag1 { biome1.freeze(); } else { biome1.normal(); }" mess, and the code is spaghetti enough already. It is possible, but still very unfeasible even if it doesn't change the config file much.

BiomeGen[] biomesToFreeze = new BiomeGen[];
BiomeGen.push(Tundra);
BiomeGen.push(Taiga);
BiomeGen.push(Plains);
...
for(BiomeGen biome : biomesToFreeze){
    biome.doTheFreezeStuff();
}

#presetClassicMode (boolean:false) -- Preset: Classic Winter Mode - Only the features of the original Winter Mode
#presetModernMode (boolean:true) -- Preset: Modern Winter Mode - Classic plus extra features
#presetSnowMayhem (boolean:false) -- Preset: Snow Mayhem Mode - Modern Unleashed, you could say. Unlimited snow buildup (capped at 5m by default), snow directly effects the player and falls on ALL blocks.
#overridePresets (boolean:false) -- Override Presets: Configure mod based on individual controls instead of presets
#snowAllDayErryday (boolean:true) -- Set this to true to make it always snowy
#freezeAllTheBiomes (boolean:true) -- Set this to true to make snow globally instead of certain biomes
#snowVaryingThickness (boolean:true) -- Snow can build up instead of staying at level 0 thickness
#snowSpecialBlocks (boolean:true) -- Snow falls on special blocks (slabs, fences, glass, etc)
#snowUnlimitedBuild (boolean:false) -- When a snow layer reached thickness 7 (full block), convert to a regular BlockSnowBlock and let more snow form on top
#snowFastBuild (boolean:false) -- Snow can build up to 3 stages at once instead of only one.
#maxSnowDepth (int:5) -- Max depth of full snow blocks when snowUnlimitedBuild=true
#snowOverwritesPlants (boolean:false) -- Falling snow can overwrite plants, including wheat and saplings. Tallgrass is always "snowed over".
#snowSlowdown (boolean:false) -- Player movement in snow is slowed. Slight slowdown at thickness 4, up to Soul Sand slowdown at thickness 6 (7 converts to a snow block).

Please dont cancel this mod! And if you do eventually have to, could you pass it on to somebody else?

Quote from Wipper1799

wow, the mayhem mode is mad hehehe :biggrin.gif: so fun to mess around with :biggrin.gif:

i made a video on it too XD

Quote from GazekStuff

i got a idea for u make the long grass disapear when it snow's long grass and higher snow looks unreal make the tall gras disapear

Quote from NeonJ

Can you fix the hitboxes, please? D: It's really ruining the mod.. Other than that, though, it's great.

An option where you could set how high the snow goes up in miniblocks wouldn't go amiss though. I would love to just max it at 3-high snow, like in real life =o

Quote from phelandisturbed

tall grass does disappear...





You can set that in the config... o.o

Quote from LanderVis

This mod rocks. I've always loved snow in Minecraft! Could you make a multiplayer version (maybe even bukkit?) if you have some time? That would be cool ^.^

Quote from CaptainFathead

I don't really like how the snow builds up on trees( I used snow mayhem mode), maybe there is a way for you to make the trees to "collapse" under the snow weight, i think that would be hard to make

Quote from phelandisturbed

I like that idea, to an extent... if a tree gets completely covered, it, like a crop, gets overwritten xD

Would just need some bigger trees to compensate for the massive lumber loss. not many, just a few that are like the size of RP2 rubber trees?


Would also be cool if snow developed on Xie's farming mod overhaul. :biggrin.gif:

Hello, I really enjoy the mod, and hope that you keep continuing it. Just one problem with it. I cant modify config files, as I have a mac. So, I simply wish that you provide 3 separate downloads, one for the classic preset, one with the modern preset, and one with the snow mayhem preset.

Quote from Mysterius

It is still quite buggy for me.

At first i played with default settings. It appeared to work well but I didn't like the fact that, when grown, snow transformed into a snow block. I thought it was only in mayhem mode, but whatever. So i tried to disable this manually and setting "overridePresets" to true. It did the same thing.

After that, i tried to run in classic mode to stop snow growing altogether. Snow did not grow anymore, but now i see random snow blocks appearing everywhere after a while :/.

Also, there are zones where snow does not appear. It "is" here, since i can see the hitbox and destroy the block, but it is invisible.




I am playing with only Modloader, Optifine and Modern Winter Mode.
