Well well well... Looks like Forge has an early 1.8 version in testings
Its been a long while @_@, but first lets do the good and Bad news.
Good News:
Forge is catching up to 1.8, and with it I can start Updating my mods. Yay!!
Bad News:
I lost my HD to a fatal crash last month.... meaning I have lost all my Scr. Code.. T_T along with any mods I had in the works.
What does this mean?:
Means I need to sorta start fresh on the coding (Which isn't really all that bad), have to refind/install all my Mod making programs, and lastly see what Forge looks like with the new Changes.
I have made a Promise to many fellow Minecrafters to updates this Mod... I shall do my best and get to work ^_-
Sadly we are all in the same boat now with Microsoft at the helm. Wither this ship sinks or sails... or how many people jump the plank. Only time will tell.
Forge is still currently updating for 1.8, seems Lex lost a few helping hands meaning he has a lot more work load now.
Vanguard will gain new bonuses with the Gemstone Socketing. Being able to do an AOE that sets things on fire (via Nether Quartz Sockets) or a Holy Blast with the new Prismarine Crystals from the fishes.
Onslaught will have its own version of the Vanguard Gauge, this "O-gauge" will house the gui to let the player know when its ready (off cooldown / activate-able).
V-gauge will only be usable while a shield is equipped like normal, but will be override by O-Gauge when a giant sword is in the players hand. As for the possibility of both O and V-gauge being on cooldown after O-gauge is used (to prevent odd giant sword switch to shield ability abuse) is easily done.
lil'suggestion,after using the onslaught hit(which should be a high damage hit,right?)
give the player a fatique effect for 1-2 sec,as a compensation-loss
it would be too opin pvp as some server may be able to let player have haste,faster swing
or you can also give a cool down to the onsluaght
for example ~20 sec
Aye, Onslaught will have to be watched carefully when its added. One of the main reasons the Giant Swords never had a special ability was because of their additional attack power. However seems to be many people requesting a "Vanguard" Type ability for them... so lets see what happens XD.
Another possibility would to only allow the Onslaught to charge up by hostile mob kills rather then Hits.
*Each Socket Yields 1 Rank of Gemstone's Effect to equipment
*Multiple Types of Sockets may not be added to a equipment, each new stock overrides the old socket
*Sockets are consumed during the attachment to equipment
*Max Ranks: Shield Max / Gemstone / Giant Sword Max
V / Diamond / IV
V / Emerald / IV
V / Prismarine Crystal / IV
II / Nether Quartz / IV
Socketing Tool: A special tool that allows sockets to be embedded into Shields and Giant Swords.
*The Socketing tool crafts in a non-charged state*
*The Socketing tool must be charged with exp from the player by right clicking while the item is in hand. Cost 2 Levels.
Adding Sockets to Shields and Giant Swords. Shapeless Recipe
Gemstone(s) (of the same type) + Shield or Giant Sword + Socketing Tool (Charged).
*The newly Uncharged Socketing Tool will be placed back into the player inventory*
Giant Sword Onslaught Ability:
These New feature allows Giant Swords the ability to unleash a powerful attack much like the Vanguard Shield ability. However this gauge fills up each time the player combos attacks together (5), then is usable as a combo finisher.
Onslaught Gauge will slowly deplete if not used after a combo is preformed.
Q/A:
Q: Will these new features be included into the Core aspect of Asgard Shield Mod?
A: I believe I will create this as an Addon for now, that way the Core Mod is faithful to Vanilla 100%.
*However this could change if everyone enjoys the Socketing and Onslaught Ability*
Q: Will there ever be Left Hand Rendering of Shields?
A: I have to see what the new rendering code looks like first. I myself would like to see this happen, however I firmly Believe Functionality first then... Cosmetics.
Forge just released an update for 1.7.10, which is great news! However, I think an official 1.8 release from Mojang is going to be very buggy, and while forge will probably also release an update to 1.8, they will be very buggy as well. It's going to be a rocky road.
Maybe I'm biased, but I think releasing an update for 1.7.10 is more realistic than waiting for an update to a stable version of 1.8, which might be far off in the future.
Fair enough point and I do understand where your coming from
However (Yeah I know, blah), Mojang has stated that many code changes have been done for 1.8 Such as...
Models for all Blocks and Items
New Rendering code
New Block states (not sure if it replaces old Meta Data)
and a few others.
I have a feeling I am going need to do alot of changes to my old code, since I guess now Forge is compatible with MCPC now (Prob butchered the name >.<) so I don't even know what that coding looks like yet XD
Hello all, I took a long break working on many other projects for other games // Playing other games (ESO, Streaming, ect).
After reading through many of these posts, its safe to say Asgard Shield will be updated to 1.8 when its released. (Providing that a Forge Update is ready)
I personally want to thank you all for you continuing support even after the year that has gone by while I was away.
It seems this thread needs some photo updates, a photo service, and over all clean up. Seems I got quite a bit of work ahead of me @_@
-Thank you
Honestly I have no a clue, Knowing Mojang there will be many more 1.6 versions poping out quickly. I havn't even begun seeing how mods work now =/
Yes 1.6 has bought so neat things to Minecraft, but man.... how cruel Mojang is on the lack of thinking about modders (Which I firmly believe keeps Minecraft popular).
I am having lots of odditys with this snapshot. Doors and Blocks lagging. The World Holes are once again appearing time to time (Havn't seen this problem since the days before 1.3)
I can already tell this "villager sound" is going to get anoying...
try having 5+ villagers next to each other... it only gets worse as more villagers are added to an area. I believe their "Talk" timer is to short, so they spam with their chit chat.
If they only talked upon opening trade or when villagers interact with golems and other villagers, THEN it would not be so bad. However that way it is currently...... I rather build my house in the middle of my farm (Cows, pigs, chickens, sheep. 10+ of each animal) then having my house in a middle of a village. The sound pollution is just horrid.
I take it content creator rewards actually means "bukkit plugin developer reward" system? I don't know much about bukkit as the plugin system has never really interested me that much however from what I have noticed there is no way to host adventure maps or modifications such the mods made using forge and modloader.
I agree Dark, there is a reason why I don't code for Bukkit. Modloader and Forge are just way more powerful for unique mods. Bukkit has nice features... but look at the mods.... Most of them all add or do the same features as the next plugin.. =/

Interesting idea... once the new code is shown for 1.8, have to see how it works out

I figured there are some really neat mods out there that sorta replaced them mod... Blood magic, to name one XD
If you guys really want an update to this i'll see what I can do (Nothing will be updated till 1.8 tho).
Going to continue to read the past, and maybe think of some fresh content / changes.
