I installed the newest version (Damage Indicators [1.4.2]v1.0.8)

(Difficult to figure it out with showing a picture ^^)

I see rei's minimap... that is probably the problem.

Probably right, I'll see if I can recreate this.

Nope, I am still unable to recreate your issue. What kind of video card are you using and list all mods you currently have installed. Include your forge version.

can you try NEI instead? For testing if nothing else

I try a lot and I think I found the problem. I start Minecraft with the default texture pack and the mod works perfectly. After this, I started it with the Dokucraft texturepack and I had this problem. Switching to default don't help. Only patching witch MCPatcher repaired it. I think, it's the fault of the texturepack.

Yes, this is why I let you force to use the default texture pack font in the config was the texture pack put in the jar? this is not doing it right xD

Guess what guys? I finally made that Bukkit plugin wrapper for damage indicators. Now leave me alone about it not working in smp and bug your server admin!

No
I used MCPatcher and chose the texture pack ingame

If it happens again, try going to your .minecraft/config/DamageIndicators.cfg file and change "Build TexturePack Font"=true to "Build TexturePack Font"=false

Another annoying suggestion: changelog in OP (Opening Post). Also, just curious on the move to JAR file over ZIP- why? Thanks again for the great mod!

Because i got flooded by clicks night before last and many of my files got blocked by adf.ly following their inability to pay out AGAIN. Using a jar get's around that.
Honestly I don't know what exactly is causing them to block it, but using a jar extension when blocked usually fixes the issue. It makes no difference to the user.

I don't think I will be changing anything else anyways, not until the next minecraft version or someone reports a bug(I haven't had a real bug since 1.0.8)
1.0.9 was a optimization for font building.

Yes this is known and understood, the issue is that the particle api is non-existant when it come to custom textures, and I also generate my texture, so there is no physical file to use the implemented map system. So I have to do out of rotation buffer writes, which case problems much worse than you describe. I think it's current state is it's best case scenario until some semblance of custom textures for particles gets implemented It's this, or raining numbers, or number blacking out horribly(color loss).

Can you try to make non-Forge version? Forge isn't compatible with ModLoader.

I wanted to try the mod but Forge is incompatible with ModLoader.

How can I install damage indicator while trying to keep ModLoader mods on?

Correct me if I am wrong, but If you run forge, most modloader mods work AND forge mods work, while running modloader, ONLY modloader mods work. Why would I make a release for modloader when one could just use forge?

If possible, could you make the numbers 3D?

Quote from rich1051414

Well I kind of meant for it to be 2D floating digits, this is the style of many RPG's, so not only is it easier, it's nicer.

It is easy to do the 3D effect, but then you have to make sure they pop up facing the right direction and stay legible but at the end of the day, the 2D version is stylistic, and easier to read and implement.

In the original version, I implemented a config file that allowed for custom colors, adjusting the transparency, size of the numbers, how high the numbers bounce, etc.

If you guys want it, I can add it again.

Already answered this, and the customized config is already implemented

Okay understood, hopefully the upcoming modding API will provide an answer to mods like this one

I don't think it will, unless I am very lucky. Lex over at forge doesn't even want to talk about it, even tho it is well known how it is lacking, so who knows.
In version 2.0 I will probably ditch particles entirely and go for entities instead(like how snowballs and arrows render). This will be much more involved, but at least my hands will no longer be tied, and it will give me room for much more.

Well, after this comment, I managed to reduce the bugginess further, In fact, I can produce no bugs at all.

Damage Indicators [1.4.2]v1.1.0 is released now, hopefully now, completely bug free(knocking on wood).

Quote from -+- Archer -+-

Alright, I'll try it out and let you know if I encounter any weird stuff.

EDIT: So far, so good! All the glitches I had in the past seem to be gone (fast grass glitch, log particle glitch)

Well I give up looking for real bugs. If anyone see's any let me know.
I guess next I will work on a damage queue, since when mobs take damage too fast, the numbers overlap. Like on many rpg's, I plan to throttle the damage pop off's so they all legible.
After that, I might add damage based stats and achievements.

I don't want to hear about the healthbar stuff either, i already have hack slash mine fanboi's wanting to see my source(I have never even used that mod, just for the record). Not that it matters, they did theirs completely different than mine(mine was coded with customization and custom texture packs in mind, using forge, not base class modding.. sigh), but just putting it out there so I stop getting messages and ignorant assumptions on the subject.

Damage Indicators [1.4.2]v1.1.1 released. Added a queue system for damage messages, so more than one damage indicator doesn't pop up at the same time. When that happens, the actual damage you deal could not be legible, especially when using scattershot from the PaintMod, so now the damage shows in order it was applied, throttled so every digit can be read.
The rate of throttle can be changed in the config file.
