Disclaimer: These textures are /not/ mine, I was originally going to use the official RedPower textures, but didn't think I was allowed to use them. If anyone knows if I'm allowed to, feel free to post in the topic and I'll add them. For now they are the RP2 Sphax Textures (Made by ruyan)! ALSO: People in IRC seem to be getting confused... THIS IS NOT AN OFFICIAL REDPOWER GENERATION PORT. I brought over the marble and basalt line of blocks (with Sphax textures) THIS IS NOT OFFICIAL.
Background Information
It's been a while since RedPower 2 was updated (And I do understand, 1.3.2 changed basically changed the structure of Minecraft's code) and while I do miss the fancy machines (Oh sorting machines...) I really miss the Marble / Basalt line of blocks , so the solution I came up with was this: Why don't I make a mod with these blocks?
So let me get this right you got sick of waiting, so you made a marble and basalt mod(did you decompile RP to get this) then you are also using Sphax textures without permission in your mod...(hmmm how long will this take) First off don't distribute mods/textures that aren't yours. WAIT FOR RedPower
ok so I was talking with some people and it seems all you really need is a link to sphax just get this straight

You need to chill. Nobody needs to decompile RP2 to create a new block with stone propeties or to get textures. And textures can be reused, the basalt brick is essentially a black stone brick. What you're saying is suggesting that all mods with similar blocks are stealing from Mojang.

So I saw, it was amazing how fast that escalated on IRC and then de-escalated(?) quickly (You're not the only one who hangs out in #Direwolf20 ) No harm done It's basically a plain block with no special properties (Marble and Basalt generate massively in the world, not sure how Elo does volcanoes.)
This is a neat idea but there are other mods that can do this already, like XtraBlocks mod.
And what happens when RP2 comes out? We can't remove your mod because everything would disappear.

Well, I wasn't going to originally release the mod for that exact purpose, but a friend told me I should release it, so I thought why not
Although unfortunately yes, the blocks will disappear if the mod is removed
Can I suggest that you add redpower ores, with the same id's as the real ones, so when redpower comes out we can delete this mod and install redpower. Would that even work? Or would it all just dissapear?Oops sox didn't read above
Oh god thanks, I was looking in google for an hour trying to find a marble mod for my server since redpower hasnt graced us with it's presence yet. This is exactly what I needed.

Wait, read what?
Edit: I think I see what you're saying. The only reason why I won't add RedPower ores is because I don't know the exacts on how they generate (Like what levels and such). I don't want to add easier/hard generation for RedPower and since RedPower is neither Open source and its against her ToS to decompile the mod, I can't lookup the values.

This is awesome , only one thing that annoy me : Can you please make the hardness of the blocks a bit higher? It's mined at the speed of mining netherrack...

Sure! I haven't played with RedPower in a while so I'm not sure what speed it goes at, I'll set it to the speed of stone, since I guess it shouldn't be /that/ fast.

Done! I didn't change the version number as its a client side only change (In case any servers are using it ;))
This is great stuff, I have been missing basalt and marble blocks badly. I know it's a crime worse than raping a unicorn with a chainsaw to say this but I really wish Eloraam would at least release a public beta of RP3, it seems stable (and awesome) enough in direwolf20's SMP series.
Perhaps this is a stupid question but do the blocks occur naturally in the world in any way or do "THIS IS NOT AN OFFICIAL REDPOWER GENERATION PORT" mean "no"? Flew around for a bit but couldn't find any.
They do generate in the world, and massively like original RedPower. I added that disclaimer because people kept being very rude to me in IRC about it. They think I decompiled RedPower and modified it for 1.4.5... Not the case. All my custom code.
Unfortunately I do not know how Eloraam does volcanoes, so I could not implement that :/ though once you do find it (It's underground) you'll have a slew of it

Basalt Brick, Basalt, Marble, Marble Brick, Basalt
All of the blocks + 1.4.5 Items

A link to http://bdcraft.net has been added in!
Haha thank you!

Anytime sir
I tried and it shows some error...
No, sorry this mod is only available for 1.4.5 (It is compatible with the Magic World pack in FTB)
