1. Could someone link me to a good tutorial on how to create GUIs in 1.6.4, please? I've been looking but I haven't found any, short of videos, but I need a text tutorial because I don't have internet 24/7 and this way I can download what I need and read it later. I'm sure it's somewhere out there, but I haven't found one yet. And I know I need to update - but our servers use 1.6.4 and that's what I mod in, I know plenty of modders that develop them for older versions. I'm basically having some trouble understanding how GUIs work and how to set them up. I tried it before but the tutorial was flawed or for an older version of something because I copied the code verbatim and there were a derp-ton of errors that were unfixable (methods that were no longer existent, fields that had changed, etc). If I could just get a simple tutorial (for 1.6.4), I'd be very grateful. No rush of course, I know there are more pressing matters. Thank you for your time.
2. How would I go about making something that generated RF in my mod (after I've got the GUI stuff down, of course)? Thanks.
I asked about this on MinecraftForge's forums, but was specifically told not to ask for help, so I doubt I'll be going back there. No rush on replying or helping, just as long as someone can help me.
P.S.: Again, I know that I need to port to 1.7, and I plan to, soon. For now, though, the servers that my community and I run are in 1.6.4 as they are Tekkit so that's why I'm staying behind a bit. I do intend to update, I just haven't gotten around to it yet. So please, if all you're going to tell me is that I need to update, please don't bother. I'm looking for someone to actually help me, not make things more difficult. Thanks.
Vswe has a pretty solid GUI tutorial (a series of 4 videos, actually) called "Climbing the Interface Ladder". I learned tons of useful stuff from it even after I'd been modding for quite some time, and he has several other video courses on there if you're interested.
EDIT: Err, derp. Just saw you wanted text only... sorry He does have a sort of power-point summary below that is just static images, and the entire source is available. I don't know of any good text tutorials that cover what he does, though.
I forgot that I could download YT videos actually, so that works out perfect. It'd be fantastic if everyone could be as helpful as you were. Thanks again!
Quote from master801»Just look at the APIs for help with RF generation. -.-;
Oh yes, by all means. I'm not asking anyone to write anything for me, just to point me in the right direction, which both of you have done. Thanks, again. It's been a great help.

Oh no, I didn't mean it like that. I meant that when you implement the interface, you have to do some methods, and custom things like that.

First I need to understand how to even use APIs.

-.-; You implement a interface usually, and things happen.

Thanks, I appreciate the help.

Of course you have to do somethings yourself too.
