It seems this post has devolved into either a "make it for SMP" or "Update for 1.2.5". I will address both of these issue

SMP
Please stop asking for it. As written in the OP, It is palanned but not for a while as I have another major project I am working on. SMP is a compleatly different kettle of fish than SSP. There are far more variable that I have to take into account. And besides I havn't ever coded anything for SMP (so I have to learn a hell of a lot before I even start it) and until recently could never get SMP working on my computer.

Please respect my wishes and stop pestering me for a SMP version


1.2.5
Bloody hell, 1.2.5 came out while I was sleeping and I am already getting people complaining about it not being updated yet. If you want to play my mod (or nearly any mod out there) don't update to the newest versions of minecraft right away. Before I even start a 1.2.5 version I have to wait for ALL of the dependecies to be updated (Still waiting on Forge/ModloaderMP). Even then I have to find some spare time to actually do the update (and while I am at it fix bugs). For example even if all the requirements are updated by tonight (my time) I will still not be able to do it as I am catching up with a friend (who is far more important to me than this mod)

I am really considering a rule that I saw another modder put in place. He would only update if

1. The update was ready (to his standards)
2. At least 24 hours after the last mindless "UPDATE NOW!!" post.

This would be great for 2 reasons, it would (hopefully) stop "UPDTAE NOW" posts and I wouldn't feel rushed to get out a update and end up releasing highly buggy code (like the original 1.2.4 release)

I was wondering if you could make it so you can activate the right click function of items with a certain button combo, as i want to use this with IC2 and the nano saber, which drains power while it is turned on, you right click with it to turn it on/off

I would rather not. In my opinion some of the weapons added by modders (mine also to an extent) could be quite overpowered. This would be dramatically increased if you allowed a user to have 2 of them at once. It would also require me mapping more keys (possibly increasing incompatibilities). And finally would open up the possibilities of dual wielding bows, which would both look silly and play havoc with the 3rd person renderer.

it should be put in the OP so you have an excuse to ignore all the people that doesnt know how to read

I will do it when I get home

This is the greatest mod I have ever used. The new weapons are great and i love the dual wielding. Is there any way, though, that you could make it so that i dont need forge to color shields and make banners?

Not using forge to colour shields would require an extra 16x3=48 spite indices. Its just not feasible. As for banners (in Mine & Blade) I was just having many issues with the banners in a non-forge version so I took them out.

but it crashes when I open...
I read and this was because of portal gun modd so is there any other way of opening inventory crashing?

It would be caused by portal gun mod, sorry but the only fix right now is to uninstall one of the mods, I have talked to iChun and told him how to make it compatible and he said he will make the changes on the next uptade

great mod but ur a bit late on updating.

Read the my post at the top of this page. You are lucky i havn't actually posted the proposed rule on the original post yet because you would have just pushed back the update another 24 hours.

I would love to include an error log with this, but it is one of THOSE crashes where it closes itself before i can read it

It just crashes when i click the player to open up the custom screen, only mod i could predict would have conflicts is the mod that prevents dropping items on death, but even then the editing of default class is only for SMP iirc, and you use a custom GUI

It is likely something such as the portalgun mod that is causing the error. If you don't have portalgun it is likely another mod that is using the same method to access the inventory.

Hey NerdBoy Or Other Readers, How About Making This A Bukkit Server Mod (Posting Here Because Bukkit Forum Account Compromise).Thanks For Reading.

Firstly, pleas do not write youe whole message in big writing, it looks ugly and makes you come accross as a little rude. Secondly if you actually took the time to read the entire original post you would know that a SMp version is planned but not for a while, furthermore if you took the time to actually read a couple of posts before (i.e. on the same page) you would know that I just posted about it.

SMP is very different to SSP as i have to take into account many extra variables. In addition I have never coded anything for SMP so I need to learn that first. Finnally I have other projects which i want to do before SMP.

Please pestering me for it, I know people want it but that still doesn't change the fact that it will still likely be a LONG way off.
