Wow, one of the best mods ever! I install it open my minecraft and I started yellow and find 8 Diamonds! Awesome mod Thanks!

Quote from carb0ndioxid3

Never mind, since I couldn't change the ID related to your mod, I've changed the ID related to the other that was conflicting and preventing me for doing a diamond meter and it is working well now. Thanks.

Just out of curiousity, which mod was it?

Quote from Weioo

Yesterday while at work I started some work on enhancing the original textures to 64x. I got home and decided to get into it a bit further, and possibly went overboard, lol. I really got into it since it seemed kinda easy to create a variety from the same base template, for the most part.

Here's a link to a ZIP containing 7 total different varieties of textures for Diamond Meter mod. You must only install one into the Diamond Meter mod ZIP folder, replacing the old textures. All but the one set mentioned above are 128x textures. This is my first contribution to the community. I hope you guys find a set to your liking!

64x & 128x Textures for Diamond Meter mod: http://adf.ly/FUNZF

If the OP/Author would like to link in the OP, that would be way cool.

I hope you don't mind, I took the files you sent me, and split them up into files that you can just drop into your mods folder, and put them up on the OP. They are through bit.ly, so no profit is made on my links for those.

Why the redstone torch?
I would say replace it with a clock cause a clock has gears etc.
And i am also making an alternative 16 * 16 texture.
But still good mod, and getting into the DNS techpack is great!!
Edit: here are some textures



inspired by ToadR's

I also put yours into a drop in file, and put it on the OP. Thanks!

will you be updating this to 1.4.6?

Description

Diamond meter is a device that, when held in your quick-bar, will indicate if there is any diamond ore near to you. Cause lets just admit it, all of us have better things to do than strip mine the bottom 10 layers of your world, looking for diamonds.
This will be my first mod for Minecraft, so enjoy, be patient if you have any issues, and of course, leave comments about how you like it, improvement suggestions, bug reports, etc.

Installation

This mod is designed for Minecraft version 1.4.5, and requires Forge (latest 6.4.2.XXX) installed first to work.

To install, once you have installed Forge, simply copy the "DiamondMeter X.X.X.zip" file (replacing X.X.X with the version number) into the mods folder. On a windows machine, it is found at "%appdata%\.minecraft\mods\" (without quotes) by default.


Texture Packs

If you are interested in this mod, but want a different texture for the diamond meter, here are a couple custom texture packs made by fans:

Installation
You can install these textures the same way as the mod, by either putting it into your mods folder (along with the Diamond Meter mod), or copy the files directly into the mod zip, overwriting the current textures.

Crafting

Some people are probably thinking "Diamond meter? That's cheap!", but you actually need a few diamonds to construct it (11 total).
The recipe is:




Usage

To use this tool, simply have it on you while walking around in the bottom layers of the overworld. It will change colors based on how close you are to diamond ore. It is best to keep it in your quick-bar, but it will update as long as it is in your inventory. (Images below)

1 Block away (practically looking at it):




2-3 Blocks away:




4-5 Blocks away:



6-8 blocks away:




9+ Blocks away (no diamond ore close by):

Config

This mod has a config file that can be modified to get different effects. It is located in your MineCraft folder (%appdata%\.minecraft by default), and is named DiamondMeter.txt. In this file, you will see a few settings, in the format <setting>=<value>. If at any point you wish to restore the default value for a setting, delete the line for that setting, save the config file, and restart the game (or "use" the Diamond Meter to reload the config).

Please keep in mind that "Diamond Meter" was designed with the default values. The config was added to allow users to customize as they please.

The settings have these effects:

toFind (default 56): the block id to look for.
distanceMax (default 8): changes the maximum distance to look for the block. Setting this too high may crash your game, so keep it within reason.

playSound (default false): tells the Diamond Meter whether or not to play a sound every time it transitions.
soundVolume (default 1.0): changes the volume level of the Diamond Meter (if enabled).
soundFurther (default note.bd): this is the sound that plays everytime the Diamond Meter transitions down (further away)
soundCloser (default random.pop): this is the sound that plays everytime the Diamond Meter transitions up (closer)

This should work on a server. I just tested it on a vanilla server with forge build 445, and it worked for me. How is it not working, do you have an error log?

Version 2.1.5 for MC 1.4.6 has been uploaded

You rock man now back to easy hunting for diamonds

I installed the new version of Diamond meter and got this error. I did a clean install of the game (erased minecraft folder) ant then installed Forge (for ver1.4.6) buildcraft (ver 3.3.0) and your mod (version 2.1.5). When I erased your mod minecraft doesn't crash. I was using the 1.4.5 version of your mod up until yesterday and I do like it.

Minecraft has crashed!

For making an awesome mod, I clicked the Bit.ly download link a couple of times

make it compatible with ML plzplzplz

Quote from AreQPL

I've got this error two times while mining using meter, it occures randomly. Please fix it.

Edit: Found source. It happens when you approach diamond ore if you set detector radius at 3. At 4 it works without any problems.

Yep, just looked into it, looks like this is caused by setting the distanceMax to anything below 4. The reason:
I make a variable called distancePerLevel. This variable is used in the determination of which state the meter should be in.

int distancePerLevel = distanceMax/4;

This variable is then used to determine (based on how close the ore is) which state should be displayed.

if(distanceShortest > -1)
{
int level = (int)((distanceMax - distanceShortest + 1)/distancePerLevel);
(more code);
}

so if you enter 3 into distanceMax, distancePerLevel = 3/4 = 0.75, and because it is an int, it defaults to 0, and causes a divide by 0 error as soon as you get close to ore.

I will add a failsafe in the next version for this, but for now, try not to make distanceMax anything below 4

THANKS ALOT! I FOUND STACKS OF DIAMONDS!

I was wondering if you could add an ID part to the config file. One of my mod is having a conflicting ID with the diamond meter, and while its not a huge deal, i dont wanna have to keep flip flopping on making the diamond meter, finding diamonds, removing the mod, then adding it and cheating the meter back in everytime I go mining.

One feature I would love to see is the ability to right-click the meter on a block and re-align the meter to that type of block (much like changing the config but done in-game). Right clicking on something (crafting table perhaps??) will reset it to diamonds. Now an interface where I can add blocks to (by right clicking) then select which one I currently wish to hunt for would be wonderful, but I believe the right-click mechanism described would be a good first step.

Best,
Tim

1.4.7 version is done. I haven't added any new features, just ported it to 1.4.7. The amount of time I have to play minecraft in the past 4 months, let alone mod, has not been a lot.

Also, I have a new mod that I have had mostly finished for a while, but don't have the time to test, so if there is anyone interested in alpha/beta testing, send me a message. I will choose a group of people every now and then. The mod is titled "Ore Meter", and is a continuation of this mod.

Here's an idea you might consider:

Could you have your mod test if IndustrialCraft2 exists and use an alternate recipe using circuits? It makes more sense (if you're playing with technical mods) to have an electronic device use a circuit. If BuildCraft exists, you could also use its version of circuitry. If both exist, it should be configurable in the config file.

This way it adds a little more depth to the device when playing with other mods.
Hope you like. Either way, this is a great mod.

ok first off i have to say i love the mod its awsome 3 things need a lil tweeking
ill tell you what and then give you a reason to back it up

1 somthing that tells u wether the ore is up or down.....why i just spent literally the last like 15 mins going by the color codes and damb yes you find diamonds but the height deifferenttial is a royal pain in the **** i ruind my mines

make it compatible with other mods say a config to find say iridium or or emrald withc we all know is a royal pain to find.

color scheem need tweeking if ur not cgonn impliment direction to this mod then better implement the color so like say orage is say 8 blocks away but green is within 2 blocks of your current postition

thanks bud good luck with the mod and keep up the good work

Hi, When I install this, my leather armor looks funny... it is the right texture, with the diamond meter overlayed on it:



Any clue? Removing diamod meter fixes it.

Hey there!

So I run a hamachi server so my friend and I can play SMP together and I have this installed and it works.. like it comes up in my Forge on the main screen but when I go to craft it and try to pick it up out of the crafting table.. It doesn't let me select it.. like it picks up then drops back so I cannot get it.

Any help? Thank you for your contribution to the minecraft community
