Pro tip for those that want to use this: download the old launcher from Minecraft.net, and google 1.4.7 Minecraft.jar (for the right jar file). If the first version of forge you download doesn't work, then download an older version. Btw, if anyone's interested in a server using this and a few other mods, let me know via PM.
Maybe iamshortman would be willing to throw the code up on GitHub in the hopes that someone else shows interest one day? From what I've seen there's a lot of work done here and it would be a shame to see it go to waste. Even if someone else forked it to make a vehicle only version down the road it'd be nice to see that much salvaged, yes?
because code always changes. every update something is different that requires a mod to change how it works. recently the new resource pack system has completely changed how textures are loaded.
I'd be fine with a 1.5.2 release. It would have the new plane and cycle controls, along with some what working Code table right?
If you guys are serious about this, I'd go talk to shortman about using his code. He's giving up on the development of his mod, so it'd need someone to continue it. (It's the best Tron based mod that I've ever seen)
just release the vehicles (and weapons if possible), the grid can come in the form of a Texture Pack. If you managed to get the sub working (even without the light trail) it would probably be the first underwater vehicle for MC.
plus the bikes and light jet are FAAAAR better than anything from flan's mod right now.
please don't fully abandon the mod, just leave the grid for later or someone else. I don't care if you can't get the light trails to work, the bikes themselves would rock enough. As would a fully functioning tank.
I do agree with Kye on this one. Your vehicles are just great. And as for the Grid, someone will make it, if this mod goes standalone (Hell, I probably will XD)
Quick queston about the skybox from a total texture noob:
If I want to change the skybox to a Red colour (It'd look like it does now, just with a red tint instead of blue), How can I go about doing that?
(I know this is kind of unrelated as far as topic goes, but this thread & the MCPatcher threads were the only ones that had anything related to custom skyboxes)
It doesn't work that way, at least not for me anyways. ive gotten specific help with bugs and some other stuff from people, but when it comes to the just plain programing mobs/block/ect i have not gotten help from anyone. what i need to find a skilled Programmer that likes the idea of GridCraft but i believe that is very rare. but then again that may just be the pessimistic part of me talking.
That's really too bad. I expected that the community would be more assistive than that. I do know that a few of the other major mod makers (specifically Elloraam ) are the only ones working on their mods. So you aren't alone in that respect.
I do feel bad though that there's nothing in regards to coding that I can do to help you Shortman. Like I said a few pages back, this is your mod, and if you feel that you can't retain this mod, as unfortunate as it would be, I would support you on that.
I made an Imgur accout and at some point will upload all my images. but i need to say for any of you that still care i need more programmers if this mod is going to get anywhere further. Ive been working on this mod on and off for like 10 months now and all i have done is 2 vehicles and 2 blocks. this project is far larger then one man can do.
Could you not reach out to other major mod colab groups or mod creators for support?
Not really. the reason i haven't made a release since the 0.1V is because ive haven't got much new added. the only two things that are new so far are the color system and the upgrade system. thats not enough to warrant a release. and im lazy.
True, although, I think at this point, some people may feel that new feature warrants a release Best of luck with the continued programming; I can't wait to see how the tank turns out
i have not updated the release version to 1.5.2 because i was planning to add Light Tanks and Light Trails to the mod but ran into a lot of problems with light trails so i kinda gave up working on it for a couple of days. i think im just going to scrap the light trails for now because the only working version i had cause so much lag cause each part of the trail was its own entity. ill try to get the tank done soon and get something out with then. The major problem is that i have 2.2 other mods going on(the .2 is for a simple mini mod i put out that really doesn't take much time to work on) and i need other programmers on the project for this to ever get done with all the projects i have going on weather they be real world or minecraft.
I think that the entities will end up being the way to go shortman. Just a suggestion, but maybe try to limit the amount of entities that a cycle can spawn in (do what TRON Evolution's MP does, and make it that the trails can only be a certain length. Maybe add an option so that people can have longer or shorter trails, depending on computer capacity.)
Anyway, it's just a suggestion. I don't want to backseat code.
Well I'm shire that a lot of other people have minecraft 1.5.2 and would like the mod. Do you happen to know how to downgrade minecraft to 1.4.7 I'm all ears
a a little something called www.Google.ca helps. Just search "minecraft 1.4.7 jar". It worked for me, so it should work for you. Happy hunting

Thanks for all your efforts shortman. Best of luck with your other mod, and internship (I may or may not have creeped the topic XD) .

Well, unless you can find someone else, the reality is that this is done for now.

Glad I could help
Correct me if I'm wrong Shortman, but that was part of the reason you have waited this long to do a release, isn't it?
