Your priority really shouldn't be on updating to another build for 1.4.7, your priority should be getting it to 1.5 since it doesn't currently even work on 1.5.

I disagree with this because they are still only doing builds and also most people will be
sticking to Minecraft 1.4.7 because most of the bigger and better mods are still on it. Once they have it running perfectly on 1.4.7 then they will see what they have to fix and it might be as simple as changing item ID's

I'm getting the classic cpw.mods.fml.common.LoaderException: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: fossil.Fossil error. And yes, I checked my folders. I'm 100% positive that I have all the folders in the right place and arranged correctly.

Your priority really shouldn't be on updating to another build for 1.4.7, your priority should be getting it to 1.5 since it doesn't currently even work on 1.5.

Why should our priority be updating to 1.5? It had just come out. It makes no sense to release a scheduled build for an update that's barely came out. Most of the people will still be on 1.4.7. We've planned out Build 3 before we even knew when 1.5 was going to be released, and the release of 1.5 isn't going to change those plans.

No one said it currently works for 1.5. Clearly the thread states 1.4.7. We're releasing Build 3 for 1.4.7 because that's what Minecraft was when we started working on this milestone. It makes no sense to suddenly go, "welp! Let's scrap this because a fresh untested build of minecraft is out!".

So again, priority is releasing it for 1.4.7 as planned, and then updating to 1.5 as quickly as possible after that.

I installed this mod using MagicLauncher on my Mac for minecraft 1.4.7. I am using the build 0003 version and it says that the ships have returned but I spent 10 minutes flying over an ocean looking for them and none appeared. I created a new world and it was the same thing. All the other structures are also not appearing but everything else works. MagicLauncher says that forge 6.6.0 1.4.7 has 1 error and I dont know if this is linked to the gen folder in the fossil mod. Is there anything you recommend.

On a lighter note I have always loved this mod and I was estatic when I saw that it was updated to 1.4.7. Thank you for continuing this wonderful mod and hope that you add some new things to it into the future. Another question that I had was how do time machines work?

In the preview ships and academy generation is off by default, just go into the config and enable them. This will default to true for Friday's release. Time machines currently don't do anything, since this was an incomplete feature when we took over and Shadow and Microjunk are still hammering away at current bugs.

You need to turn them on in the config file. Someone said in a post a page back that while the ships and structures are in build 3, they are set to "off" in the config. You need to go into the config and change the statement to "true". Also...MagicLauncher has issues with certain types of files. If you need to use a launcher I think MultiMC works a lot better.

Regarding time machines...they don't work yet. Since they weren't in the game yet in the original mod...the team said they still need to decide exactly how they are going to use them.

Actually the crash I was getting was only because I tried to copy the folders and class files directly from the fossil folder into minecraft.jar. Otherwise when trying to start minecraft with it in the mods folder, it goes to the mojang logo and it just goes black.

Post your log if you can't get it to work. But before doing that make sure your file structure looks like the example that is shown in the OP.

I believe shadow has said he's focusing on behavior and riding for the next major changes.

Thanks a lot. I did this and changed them to true. The trees spawn now and they do burn.
Also the first ship I found was a viking ship. It was amazing. Whoever designed it must have spent a week.
There were no chests in it but it was so well done that it didn't really matter. It is the only ship i found. I also found a desert academy, one thing that i found odd was that it had no archaelogy mod parts. There were diamon blocks instead of cultivators and there
were no embryos or eggs like in 1.3.2. Maybe I was just unlucky. I have yet to find a sunken ship or a arms room.

Thank you very much

Probably the same reason I can't get on, we have Build 3 and the other server has Build 2.

Most of the bigger and better mods have already updated to 1.5 because they were prepared to release a new version as soon as 1.5 was released. Take Forge for example. A new version was released the same day.

Great jobs guys! Really enjoying this mod. Crap just noticed three of the pregnant velociraptors got out of their containment area...
I've had to do some work arounds but, I have Buildcraft, Industrialcraft, Voltz, AtmosMobs, Extremebiomes, Redpower, Rei'smap (of course), (Going to try and see if I can get Damage indicator to work next), Railcraft, Forestry for starters to work. But, going to stick with 1.4.7 for a bit.

Some inspiration?: too bad the creator had quit making it. Yet there was a mod floating about with time traveling to other time periods. Jurassic, etc.

I have a quick question about world generation.
I've read some tutorials online but they don't seem to help much.
Since I'm still new and fresh to Java programming, do you have any tutorials you can refer or any source code I could learn from?

Thanks!

Our src is on github, link is in the original post on page 1. Also check out wuppy's tutorials in the tut section of the forum....

ive been waiting for Fossil Mod to be updated to 1.4.7 for a long time, and as soon as I saw it was avialable. i installed in admittedly.... but i'm still a noob to moding and got questions....when updating the version that i have of the mod to 0003, will i loose all my builds? cuz i read that you have to remove a file to update, but i'm petrified to do so if i do something wrong and loose all my work....also, can someone explain in lamin terms how to properly upgrade my version to 0003? the only way i was able to figure out how to install the mod was watching youtube videos over and over again before i started messing with my files....it would be most appreciative.
