Noppes, i'm on vacation now and I'd like to know a little bit more about modding, could you point me the start? my current goal is to create custom armors that works in a multiplayer server. Most of the people I've asked help told me to learn java first, but I figured since my goal is so standard it wasnt worthy
That's quite selfish of you to even ask. Just as MasterKulon said, there's a ton of youtube guides out there. You don't need to learn Java before you even start modding. My friend started modding just two weeks ago without any knowledge on Java and he created a custom door, a custom item, and now is onto tile entities. There's PLENTY of guides on how to make custom armor specifically. Creating custom armor is not standard. It's under advanced tutorials. If you want a point in the right direction, I suggest getting the forge source, eclipse, then going straight to the modding section on this forum then looking at forge guides. Create a simple custom block, then learn from there.
On another note, I can't wait until Noppes updates this mod to 1.6.
Good news first; we have gotten the mod stabilized, and are currently in the process of fixing the remaining bugs caused by the change in resources. We have recently gotten everything compatible with the resource packs (including a new asset browser), and all we have to do now is tweak our skin loader and re-fix a couple of ill-rendered guis. I have also already implemented some of the changes mentioned earlier, such as new AI, a sound menu, and a few new quest features.
The bad news however is that we can't give any accurate ETA on when the mod's ready for official release. Rest assured however, the chances of the release being more than a month from now like the guy above me says are absurd: we're not far behind schedule, but we're not quite polished yet either. With Noppes being in and out of contact recently, it's been difficult to coordinate our priorities as effective as we normally do. If however all goes smoothly, we may have the mod ready for release by the end of next week, but be warned that is by no means a promise.
