Announcing: The AWESOME update


- rewritten from scratch to be a FML Coremod for Minecraft 1.4.2, requires Forge
- boosted efficiency A LOT, I'm positive it cannot be done any better now :3
- Dynamic Lights is now modular! See readme!
- configuration files for Dynamic Light modules can now be found at /config/
- global toggle Button can now be configured via Controls Menu


For those of you that don't know what FML Coremod means...
DRAG AND DROP INSTALL, YE GODS



I'll just put the readme here. Marvel at it's glory.

Spoiler:

Dynamic Lights now modular!

BurningEntitiesLightSource -> Living Entities that burst into flames! Multithreaded! *expensive*
ChargingCreeperLightSource -> Creepers about to explode light up! *cheap*
DroppedItemsLightSource -> Dropped Items in the world. Also when they're on fire. Multithreaded! *expensive*
PlayerSelfLightSource -> Handheld Items and Armor on yourself. Also when you're on fire. *cheap*
PlayerOthersLightSource -> Handheld Items and Armor on others. Also when they're on fire. Multithreaded! *fairly cheap*

To remove modules you dont want or cant afford (your machine is an asthmatic train wreck, or a Mac),
simply remove (delete) them from the mod .jar /atomicstryker/dynamiclights/client/modules folder.
Yes, the mod will continue to work. If you delete all modules, the mod won't do anything.

CAUTION: Each has it's own config! (or none) There is no global config file!
You can set an important performance setting (update interval) for each module in their config.

There is a global on/off button which you can find and rebind in the Options "Control" menu. It defaults to "L".


To install:

Dynamic Lights is now a FML coremod. That means drag and drop installation! Simply put the .jar found in /setup/coremods/ into your .minecraft/coremods/ folder!

Out of the box support for Optifine!

And you know the best part about this update?
Its already available. Just re-download off the 1.4.2 Forge link :3

Spoiler:

This modification makes 'shining' items (default: Torch, Glowstone, Glowdust, Lit Pumpkin, Redstone, Lava Bucket, powered Minecart) illuminate everything around them if


1) the player has them equipped (in hand/armor)
2) they are dropped on the ground
3) another player has them equipped in Multiplayer

On top of that, burning Entities shine light, and Creepers about to explode light up!


You may add any Item ID you wish as shiny item, via the settings file. Also supports armor items!


Toggle button ingame:
The key is "L". You can turn all dynamic Lights on/off with it. The button can be rebound using the ingame options.



There is no limit to the number of lights you can create, note however they are fairly FPS-costly. You can disable modules to obtain better FPS!


I recommend using Optifine for replacing Notch's funky render code with slightly less funky rendering code.


The mod works in Multiplayer, yet is clientside, it cannot lag servers. Note however 'dropped' light sources will not necessarily prevent Mobs from Spawning, and neither will your handheld light.


Note: DO NOT INSTALL THE COREMOD ON SERVERS! It will crash on load.




Instructions:
See readme in your downloaded file.

It's a great mod and I'd love to be able to use it, but sadly it conflicts with More Block IDs (8), specifically dt.class

Any chance of a merge?

[Minecrap]

Mod works amazingly! i hope you keep this one updated too!

[SILLYJIMMY5]

This was the only thing I thought the last mod was missing. Thanks.

[duke2112]

Granted and included

[Omnomnom24]

Thank you kindly sir, you are a legend <3

[NeonJ]

Why is it when I drop a torch, there's a little yellow vertical line beside it?

[AtomicStryker]

You'll need to provide a screenshot. Using other mods or texture packs?

[Omnomnom24]

Sorry to be a pain in the ass mate, but it's not working for some reason still.

Attached is my error report screenshot. As a side note, I'm running this version clean, ie, - Modloader, More Block ID's and Optimine only, and your mod of course.

Any help would be appreciated :]

[ColdNCursed]

Oh.
My.
Creeper.

This looks to be like... wow... *downloads*

Seriously, I never use mods. Never. (I enjoy browsing mods to look for cheaters to alarm my admin about, however that's about it) But this one.. WOW! *tests*

Sadly, I can not get it to work. Basically it gets stuck on, "Done Loading" (the bar never finishes)



Procedures I took;
Redownloaded .jar from Mojang. (No Mod-Loader, no nothing.)
Deleted Meta-INf File
Pasted the downloaded contents into the jar
Ran minecraft

Thanks, AtomicStryker! It's working fine for me.

Would you kindly post the steps you took to make it work?

Specifically, are you using any texture packs/mods besides this one, and if so, what versions?

Thanks :]

[Dozck]

Works!! Thanks for the mod!

If you try using a texture pack that uses the mcpatcher, it may not work. I had a black screen with Misa's but using default doesnt cause that.

[AtomicStryker]

Apply the hdfix after you installed this and youre good.

[xBlizz_I_Devi]

this looks nice. not downloaded yet, but i've used your update of cryects handheld torch mod. will be downlaoding this and using it very soon. though can anyone say if there will be problems with a 256x pack patched with mcpatcher?

[bobbert7591]

Having the same problems. I have no other mods on, and I can still run the game fine, but when I try to even equip a torch, the game crashes (without even giving me the error report). I'd REALLY like to use this mod, so if you could figure this out, that would be awesome!

[xBlizz_I_Devi]

can i just say that installation instructions slightly better than the current ones should be used so that the newbies who aren't akin to installing mods can make sure they've done everything right. (basically i mean the extra folders - as if you dont need the merged files, don't bother)

I just went through the instructions in the first post. I didn't need any of the 'merged' .class files. I am using this texture pack, and the following mods (in the order that I installed them):

I figured it out, you failed at following the instructions. A good bet would be step 4.

I'm not aware of any Mac specific problems. Be assured the files i provide were tested ... see if you can get a debug log or something.
