Hi. I want my entity to have custom bounding box (which is not a box, but a very complex concave body). I'm not sure what is the best way to do it, but I would do it like this:

1) Create a new method in Entity and copy lines 138 - 144 (in 1.8.1) of EntityRenderer there.
2) Replace those lines in EntityRenderer with calling the method you created in step 1.
3) In my own entity just override that method.

I don't want to edit 2 base classes, so can you please add this to Forge?

Can you make it compatible so that this lr.class file doesn't conflict? http://www.mediafire...5eowb3e33e8ebzz

Yo Toad I'm having problems with the 1.8.1 version. I'm trying to install Pam's mods but every time i put Forge in whether its a completely clean .minecraft or with mods it blackscreens with Forge.

Is there anyway you could add a hook for FOV modifier? For example, making custom bows without editing the entityplayersp class to add the FOV.

I don't know how hard this would be, but it would be a big help to my new mod if you could make it possible to use items with specific damage value(eg, dye) in a Smelting recipe, it's possible to have it as the output, but not the input.

If you can that would be great, thanks.

P.S
Loving this.

Here is code that I changed:
EntityRenderer (commented some code and added a single line after comment):

        for(int i = 0; i < list.size(); i++)
        {
            Entity entity = (Entity)list.get(i);
            /*if(!entity.canBeCollidedWith())
            {
                continue;
            }
            float f2 = entity.getCollisionBorderSize();
            AxisAlignedBB axisalignedbb = entity.boundingBox.expand(f2, f2, f2);
            MovingObjectPosition movingobjectposition = axisalignedbb.func_1169_a(vec3d, vec3d2);
            if(axisalignedbb.isVecInside(vec3d))
            {
                if(0.0D < d2 || d2 == 0.0D)
                {
                    pointedEntity = entity;
                    d2 = 0.0D;
                }
                continue;
            }*/
            MovingObjectPosition movingobjectposition = entity.intersectWithSegment(vec3d, vec3d2);
            if(movingobjectposition == null)
            {
                continue;
            }
            double d3 = vec3d.distanceTo(movingobjectposition.hitVec);
            if(d3 < d2 || d2 == 0.0D)
            {
                pointedEntity = entity;
                d2 = d3;
            }
        }

Entity (added a new method):

    
    public MovingObjectPosition intersectWithSegment(Vec3D start, Vec3D end) {
        if(!canBeCollidedWith())
        {
            return null;
        }
        float bordersize = getCollisionBorderSize();
        AxisAlignedBB axisalignedbb = boundingBox.expand(bordersize, bordersize, bordersize);
        if(axisalignedbb.isVecInside(start))
        {
        	return new MovingObjectPosition(0, 0, 0, 0, start);
        }
        else
        {
        	return axisalignedbb.func_1169_a(start, end);
        }
    }

I too would like this for my high speed rails.

Already exists:

I just wanted to officially announce that I am withdrawing support for the Forge and will begin the process of removing its use from Better Than Wolves.

While I still believe in the vision behind the Forge, creative differences with a key team member that run counter to the collaborative spirit of this project, and the increasingly invasive nature of the changes made by the API to the Minecraft code-base, have resulted in a situation that I am not at all comfortable with.

During the transition, I will likely be distributing a heavily modified and trimmed-down version of the Forge with Better Than Wolves for MC 1.0, along with the source for those changes as per the Forge licensing agreement. With successive releases, I'll be removing remaining dependencies until the mod is completely detached from the API.

My apologies in advance for the incompatibilities that this will inevitably cause with your mods. It is a very unfortunate situation from which I believe it is simply best to extricate myself for my own peace of mind.

i got black screen please help , i deleted metaINF and i got modloader .

From what I remember of your interviews, you are a very principled person and this comes as no surprise. Not that I'm saying that's a bad thing.

While obviously there will be growing pains with you moving BTW off Forge, in the long term will you be continuing working to your philosophy of keeping Better Than Wolves compatible with as many other mods as possible? I was playing it with Buildcraft and several of the "Good Mixers" on the BTW Wiki and it worked so beautifully.

For the time being it should be assumed that BTW will be compatible with *nothing* and will exist only as a standalone mod.

I realize that this is unfortunate, and I will see what I can do in the future in this regard (especially if/when the mod API is released), but for the time being I feel that I need to focus on my mod and its functionality independent of others.

I would ask folks to please post any further inquiries about this matter in the BTW thread, as I do not want to completely derail this topic and will likely not be checking back here again.

update!!

[Santraxx]

Is there an updated version coming out soon?

[LexManos]

MCP for 1.0.0/1.0.1 has officially been released, so updating forge has been put on my ToDo. I'll probably get it it tonight/tomorrow.

That's good gives me the push to dump your mod like I should have done months ago.

Isn't spacetoad the Forge master? Or did I miss something?

I believe Eloraam is the main maintainer of forge these days. According to FlowerChild of BTW, we shouldn't expect an update to the forge until Eloraam's mod is ready to be released using the new forge.

Eloraam, SpaceToad, and a third person (lexmanos I think?) have all had forge commits in relatively recent memory. SpaceToad actually has the most recent commit (10 days ago).

Also, that's not how dependencies work. RP2 needs Forge, thus Forge must be updated first. Unless you're insinuating that Eloraam is going to make a super-secret 1.0.0 Forge and then keep it all to herself while she updates RP2.

I wonder how long this API has left to live with Flower leaving?
