Mith,
Can you add a special dimension to the mod that's all magicy or something

There really is no need for that. We have meteors and boss guardians already, along with pretty flowers. What more could you want?!

A release date

Lol J/k, *waiting patiently*.. Besides, I still haven't decided whether I need to send the bill for my new F5 key to Azanor, Mith, or KingLemming.

All three, triple the payment and some left over for the F2 key.

I noticed in the arcan
And hase compendium, under shapes, a "condition: death" part. If you add a heal effect, does it keep you from dieing once? Failing that, could you use recall to make sure your inventory spills at home instead of wherever you happen to be?

If not, I would like a "nearly but not quite dead" conditional.

Doublepost edit: Maybe not as its own shape, but as a "lessen spell" modifier, that otherwise reduces the power of the spell in exchange for a smaller mana cost. Like a lesser fireball that is ten percent weaker than what you are capable of, but also costs ten percent less.

On that note, a "greater" modifier that has the opposite effect.

And has anyone suggested a device that casts spells slotted into it?

There was the Caster from AM1. Dunno if it's coming back or not. Haven't seen it in any Forgecraft videos yet.

So, I'm glad you're excited for the mod, and I generally welcome constructive criticism, but here's a thought - you can make your own resource pack to handle other textures. If you hate it so much, then you can do the work yourself. I'll admit there are a couple textures that need a little work, but that's one or two that I can think of, and asking me to re-do all of the models and textures in the mod is just insane, and has zero percent chance of happening. Especially when there are means for you to easily change it on your own!

Personally, I couldn't care less whether you like the textures or not. I'm doing what I like, and what I think looks good, and that's the end of it. And if you want to share in that, great! If not, that's fine by me too. I know this mod isn't for everyone.

However, this whole "not minecraft-y enough" thing is just ridiculous. It's a circle. Get over it.

You're shoving 512x512 textures into a 16x16 game. The repair structure from the original mod looked amazing but also so incredibly out of place as to be almost not something I wanted to set down. It also gave a few of my friends a performance hit.

You should include the large textures, sure, but you should also include a 16x16 bare-bones version within it. I wanted to edit the files myself but they are confusing and split into parts and I couldn't tell what part corresponded to what when I looked at it (and don't tell me to look closer, every single gray bar with runes looked like every other gray bar with runes).

I'd have a lot more respect for your "my mod, my rules" attitude if you included some separate downloadable or some option to enable a native minecraft resolution for your included structures. Otherwise, all I hear is, "I like huge out of place textures and circles and you should deal with it, nerd. B|"

Mithion,I was watching Dire's episode 20 of the Forgecraft 2 server play series and you said something about a block you were going to implement later that will let you see what components you added into the spell. I don't know if you want to implement this also but when you access the "Spell Reader" [that's what I would think it would be called] you should be able to not only see the different components of the spell but you should also change the icon of the spell and the name of it if you want. I don't know if you would want to add this in but I thought it might be a cool addon to that block. If not I just thought about how it would be neat if it could also be added in in book form for portable access. Just a small suggestion, but I can promise you that there will be plenty more from me.

If it was something that I was *forcing* you to use, then maybe your argument might have a leg to stand on. But that isn't the case. Make a resource pack if you hate it so much, and it goes away.

I do like the hi-res textures and circles that I use. Who are you to tell me that it's wrong or that I can't? Or that I should do all my work twice just because you don't like it?

So yeah, I am saying "deal with it".


@sin_ister6
That's a really good idea. Thanks for the suggestion. Especially because renaming with the anvil doesn't work quite right with spell scrolls.

@sin_ister6 that is a good idea!

@Mithion

Don't worry about texture whiners, the vast majority of us love your textures and your mod and are bursting with anticipation for a release! I for one am incredibly stoked... I must wonder though.. Who will be first, Azanor, Mithion, or KingLemming? A challenge!

The people who are always just acting like "oh there can be no thurcleth in minecuaft (nerdy spit) becauthe (5 hours later of nerdy quotes) and that ith why minecuaft can obtain no thurcleth " can just go and suck an egg

P.s. mith the animations and textures are awesome but something's like the spell book don't look like they belong in the mod but you'll make this mod with the power of no b****yness and it it in my top 3 mods of favoritizim right next to the morph mod and thaumcraft which looks like it was also made by you........was it?????????And mith will you (and I'm just asking because I'm an RPG style gamer) add a good side and an evil side and neutral to put a little bit of more of a variety into the mod and I'm not saying you have to or that you should I'm just saying that it would add about 1% or so more variety into the mod even though it has about 99999999% of variety already.

I can't wait for the mod. Question.
I am going to have a server running (privately. Not open to public only among friends irl) and we are going to put mods on it.
I might record on the server sometimes for youtube videos.
Is it okay if I have Ars Magica 2 on the server? Like do I have the permissions?

Sort of sad that Tinker's Construct made killing that earth gaurdian so easy for Dire. Such an OP mod.. sheesh.

Really looking forward to having some difficult bosses in Minecraft. Out of curiosity, if you fight them as a group, does only the person who lands the killing blow get the upgrade points?

really an epic looking mod can't wait for this one to be out. (hopefully soon) but i understand a great mod takes time. Ciao

Tell you what: if you make a low-res resource pack for the mod, and care to share it, I will put a link to it on the OP for the mod when it's released so that others who don't care for the textures can make use of it too. I do plan to upgrade all textures to 32x, but I will hang on to what 16x ones I do currently have and you can include them in that pack as well. But I won't do any extra work on them, and I still am going to make the default textures something I personally enjoy.

As a side note I will be retexturing this mod in the vonDoomCraft style (http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/264712-16232x-128x-%E2%98%A0-vondoomcraft-%E2%98%A0-aug-25-squids-witches-withers-oh-my/) once this is released. So it will be even more hi-res.

Mith, will you be able to name spell recipe books?

I hope you weren't disappointed in the Arcane Guardian's performance. Dire's latest went up a little over half an hour ago and it was one-shotting him every time he glanced at it, and it took, I think, four of them to take it down. I was really quite impressed.

I don't think that Dire got that you need to stay out of it's melee range, which was pretty clear to me immediately. It made me laugh when he went up to hit it with a sword and got zapped.

Though that does raise the question of how you can summon it without getting instagibbed...
