Hi, I am new to installing mods, and improved chat is the first that got me to install one. Thanks for updating this.
I was able to get this to work, but ran into an issue doing so using mod loader. Here is what I tried:
open minecraft.jar, copy modloader contents. Delete Meta-inf directory.
put the improved chat zip that I downloaded into the mods directory.
put your recommended "macro /key binding mod" into the mods directory.
When I run MC, the macro mod seems to have loaded, but not improved chat. To get it to work, I had to do this:
open minecraft.jar, copy modloader contents. Delete Meta-inf directory. copy contents of improved chat.
put your recommended "macro /key binding mod" into the mods directory.
Everything seems to work this way, but I was curious if I was missing something. Is improved chat supposed to load via the mods directory via modloader?
Edit: one more thing. I am messing with the macro options and am trying to bind a button to "~start" and "~stop" to enable and disable chat, but it seems to skip the improved chat and outputs it directly to the chat instead. So, instead of it commanding improved chat, it actually send the "~start" via chat. Any idea what I am doing wrong?
I saw something about keybinds not working, and saw something else about pre-existing keybinds working. More can then be added directly from the xml file, following the same format (if you find the key number).
Any chance for a Careful Creeper update? Or could someone please point me to a mod that delivers the same (creepers not spawning or doing damage)? I haven't played MC since the beta thus wasn't following mod development.
Thanks!
To all who are asking for Careful Creepers, I've just located this mod http://www.minecraft...damage-terrain/ & I believe it does the exact same thing.
I have not however tested it myself yet. If it does work then we can finally stop bugging people to update it. [goes to check, realizes he's playing 1.1 for an LP & is too lazy to update to 1.2.3 to test a mod & then downgrade back to 1.1, ah well]
Oh wow, Thanks a bunch man
People like you keep us LPers going, me at the very least
TBH, I'm kinda wary of the Anti-Grief mod since it has 3 .class files instead of one as in yours. So I was thinking maybe he has some other functions than just nerfing block-destruction from Creeperblasts.
In case you're curious (you're probably not), the files it has are explosionc.class, wz.class & xz.class.
YAY, WD appears to be back (careful/peaceful creaper have been updated, as has toggle sneak - which I was literally just about to update myself when I noticed the changed title).
First of all, thanks for keeping this mod alive and kicking. It makes my job on our server so much easier.
Everything seems to be working fine, except for one thing.
I have various messages bund to the control+shift+1-9 keys, and they work fine when I try to use them.
However every time I join the server it sends all the set messages without fail and I cannot figure out why.
Bug? Overseen feature on my part?
Any help is greatly appreciated!
The OP has finally been updated to reflect the compatibility with Minecraft 1.2.3, but it also still shows Improved Chat as compatible with 1.8.1. I wonder if thats because Improved Chat has not been finalized. Chrismack posted a version of Improved Chat for 1.2.3 in this message, and I am using it now with my Minecraft 1.2.3. The Improved Chat that Chrismack posted works fine, as far as I can tell. I have no problems with it, and I also use TooManyItems, SinglePlayerCommands, and Rei's Minimap. All working well. I wonder why the OP doesn't reflect this.. or maybe I am not reading it correctly..
Rollback Post to RevisionRollBack
Now the whole world stands on the brink, staring down into bloody hell. All those liberals and intellectuals and smooth talkers - and all of a sudden, nobody can think of anything to say.
Is there a forum somewhere for improved chat? I see a bunch of links for the download throughout this topic but i haven't seen a link for a different forum focused on improved chat or at least for the developer who has taken over improved chat. Someone please post if there is such a forum.
I discovered the main reason for problems, and you guys are going to laugh. The code is fine and even though you get a warning between Rei and ImprovedChat, things will still work.
But... the ImprovedChat zip has the files inside a folder instead of starting at /.
So, if you are using McPatcher... just select the /ImprovedChat/ folder when prompted. After that... it all works fine.
If you are using ModLoader to load from the zip, I suggest making a new zip with all the files moved up by one folder and getting rid of the now empty ImprovedChat folder.
So simple, so dumb, and so many headaches from it...
I use MagicLauncher. I have ModLoader 1st. Then I have Rei's Minimap, then I have Improved Chat. It works.
So do I.. it doesnt work. Magic Launcher with modloader, then rei's minimap, then improved chat..
doesnt work... in the status it says "no mods found" for improved chat... yet reis and modloader work...
DeJaja - That's caused by the class files being in a folder in the jar rather than being in the root. Either unzip it, remove the extra folder and rezip it, or just use the official version that was just released which doesn't have the issue.
