The update process is going well.

However, there are new things in forge that most likely mean I can shift out of base class edits (Except drops for bosses, but that won't cause much compatibility issues).
First, there is a "maxhealth" variable for players. I need to look at it more closely so I can update my old code to work with this new one. I won't be moving out of the EntityPlayer class just yet, as that will take much more time. Once this update happens, I most likely will have to "reset" your heart progress again, because I need to save the variables in a different way. Luckily, it will cause the "update" health process to start, so it won't be a full reset, but just a reset to how many hearts you should have at your current exp.

Second, they have added support for GuiInGame: so I probably will be moving my base class edit of this class out, so it should help fix compatibility issues with GUI mods. I'll have to figure out how to move my code out of the base classes here (and will help me with my move with EntityPlayer later) so this update will take a bit more time that expected. But hopefully it helps with a lot of mod conflicts so it will be worth the wait.

no, the GUI is off by the forge version, but i have the damage indicator mod and play with friends asking them how much life i have and it is always 20 points, but in the single player mode the mod works perfectly except for the hearts GUI, it is just the multyplayer that dont work at all

That mod might not be able to see the health level correctly, can you try what I suggested so see if you have "more health" but it's just hidden from your gui? You said in singleplayer it works except for the hearts GUI, might be the same problem on multiplayer.

This is one of the last few Mods that I've eagerly been awaiting an update for.
If you can get it Forge compatible and (I'm praying here, but it may be a stretch) TConstruct compatible I would be eternally grateful.

I sincerely miss my Zelda start of only three hearts and fearing for my life during the first few nights, especially with a few of the mob additions from other Mods.
Great mod, nohero.

TConstruct compatibility will take awhile as it will require me to shift out of base mod edits. I'm getting there, but that process will take time. Updated mod soon!

There's no message or visible change when using heart containers at all, the item just disappears.

I'll try manually adding the stuff to the .jar without MultiMC and see if that helps, though I'm fairly sure I told MultiMC to do just that.

Thanks for your response


Edit: okay. I manually moved the files and that makes it increase health, but the extra heart containers still won't show up.

Further Edit: figured it all out. The reason it didn't work before was the way I had zipped the files. I'd accidentally included the parent folder. It seems that using the most recent version of forge for 1.5.1 will always cause the hearts not to show up though, proper installation or no.

Not sure if that'll affect my ability to use this mod, I'll see if the other mods I was wanting to use will work with the older version of forge. Otherwise, if there's a way I can fix that, that'd be great.

Ah yeah, you need to zip the "add to minecraft.jar" folder right? I thought I said that in the installation tutorial, but I'll fix it for next version if I didn't.

The recent versions of forge added support for a "maxhealth" variable and GUI support, two things that mess with how I did it before. I'm currently figuring out how to deal with these on my update.

i solved my problem, i was installing it wrong, it seems that the tekkit server must be moded in the tekkit.jar instead the minecraft server to work

Great! So many different ways to setup a server, my guide really only works for vanilla minecraft server. If I have time I will expand my guide for SMP. If you would like too, can you make a guide for tekkit server so I can add it to the front page? (credits to you of course!)

Update process: I have finished updating everything except entityplayer and how I display the hearts. I'm looking at the new forge system for working with GUI. It's kind of hard to understand and it's not something I've done before. Also since it's so new, there are no guides and it's hard for me to find mods that use the new gui system. I am in contact with someone who has tested the new gui system so hopefully I can learn from him.

Thanks everyone!

Actualy the damage indicators work perfectly, now that the server works perfect my healt is at 36/36 and i can falldamage myself sometimes and the normal health gui dont go lower till i get low from 20 points XD
i already know how to detect if the health mod is working because i used it in ssp whit the forge problem.
,so i can thell that the mod works, just the forge incompatibility


not much diference, just add the mod to the tekkit. jar instead the minecraft_server.jar thats all

Ah yes, newer forge adds a new gui system so my gui edits are broken. I have yet to figure out how to use the new system. When I do of course it's a much better system, as it finally allows me to do what I have done without base class edits (hopefully!)

So Forge recently added hooks for the in game gui to allow gui modding easier. This is entirely done with the forge events system, which was something I had not had to use, as the events system is quite a bit newer then when I had to make the core basics of my mod (in fact I was still using modloader primarily then). Thus, I had to spend some time figuring out the events system (Which there are some useful guides). But since the new forge events that allow gui modding to be easier are really new, I haven't been able to find tutorials on it and had to figure it out myself and delve into forge's github to find a few relevant posts on the subject. It paid off because I figured out how to use it.

Since my mod directly changes what minecraft directly coded, I was not able to convert to non-base edits for the gui ( I have to shift minecraft's OWN gui, and edit the hearts code to make it work). However, forge allowed me to do it-> it overrides how minecraft did it, and renders everything in it's own forge class. So what I had to do is CANCEL what forge did for health, armor, air. Thus, this means Minecraft DOES NOT render health, armor, air. Then, in my own class I render it there, WITH my modifications.

Thus, I have successfully moved my gui edits out of base classes. That should help with compatibility.

I also added a small nice feature. If you don't have armor, the bubbles appear right above food, instead of always statically appearing in the row right above armor. Thus, if you don't have armor there is not an annoying gap. Very minor, but still useful

So what about the update? I'm going to see if I can move out of EntityPlayer and also move my boss drops out of base classes (which
senpaisubaraki helped me with). If I can do it quickly enough, More Health will be COMPLETELY base class edit free.

Same here!

Quote from Loethalion

Nohero ive only just seen your mod in the voids pack and I must say it is genious and I hope the update goes along well as I do hope it is going to be very compatible because I know from others since modding is far from where I am and want to be that coding is tricky but best of luck and I cant wait to use your mod and divine rpg in my own modded survival esk thing but best of luck and a good night to you.

I miss having this mod! GL on updating!

Quote from ryukae

Your mod is awesome nohero, it definitely gives a sense of progression in our minecraft worlds. Keep up the good work and I hope to see it soon for 1.5.2!

Thanks for all the kind words! Love that you guys love the mod

Quote from davd1stndla

nohero, how do you turn hardcore mode on? and also can you give me steps on how to do so?

Navigate to
.minecraft\config
Find this file:
nohero_moreHealth (name might be a bit different, find the most recent one with more health in the title)
It has all the options in it.
It should say:
"Hardcore Mode"=false
change the "false"
to true
That should turn it on.

He's working on the update and puzzling through some major changes in Forge.

Please, please read the first page of the thread. If that's too much information and TL;DR then imagine how mod authors feel being asked to take time away from coding to answer questions they spent the time to write the answers for.

Thanks for helping, although info is a bit of a mess on the first page. Need to clean it up a bit.
