It's been quite a while since I've posted on here, probably two months. A lot of stuff has been going on and I haven't been able to keep up with the mod very well. I've almost finished porting to 1.8, just working on some things that didn't make it over easily, and re-adding things I had to remove. We were thinking of changing up the way Shikai is decided, and wanted to ask for your input. One idea we were thinking of maintains randomness while also letting players who want to choose their type somewhat. It would go something like this:
When you name your sword, it will check through what you've named it. There will be certain keywords in the names that gives the computer a hint of what you want. For example, if you named your sword "Flaming Keyboard", it will realize you want a fire sword and make your type fire. However, if you name it "Jigglykrampus", it will simply assign a random sword to that name. When it randomizes, it will use the name of the sword as a seed for RNG, which means "Jigglykrampus" will be the same sword no matter which game you use it in.
Pros:
+Can still be random
+Adds element of choice
+Much easier to add new Shikai types
+No more farming for specific hollows
+Easier for us to add hollows
+Same sword from same name
Cons:
-Possible lack of diversity in sword names
-Might want a different type for a sword name
-Less freedom with names
Let us know what you think about this, and we'll try to add it in as speedily as possible! As joe mentioned a few posts back, we're working on re-evaluating what we're capable of, and hopefully gaining new members for a team.
Hello LittleBreadLoaf, I've been playing with your mod for a while now, and I have a simple suggestion/observation that's probably been made before, but let's be honest, 175 pages is a lot to read through so I thought I'd make an account simply to post this. You may want to re-evaluate and recreate your whole point totals on hollows when it comes to the Shikai system. With the current point totals, it is actually impossible to legitimately gain the Lunar shikai type and is incredibly difficult to gain the Water shikai type. Yes, I understand the Lunar shikai is still very much a work in progress and it is strong so it should be difficult to obtain, but it shouldn't be impossible. I just thought I should bring this to your attention in case it hasn't already been mentioned, and thank you for your patience in reading this somewhat long-winded post.
Sincerely,
~Zeraxen
Oh shoot, I didn't realize it was impossible :/ I'll tweak that whenever I get the 1.8. update ready.
In other news, just under 1000 errors left to fix in the mod
I like it. Especially the way you have it planned so far. I do hope though that there will be some kind of balancing to help Shinigami to keep up. As it stands right now, the game is much more difficult for the Shinigami then the Quincy from the range advantage alone. They are fine if paired against mobs one on one but Shinigami are easily overwhelmed when three or more mobs are introduced (especially if skeletons are involved), while Quincy can simply kite the groups.
Well the plan is for Shinigami to get Bankai in the future, which would probably give them an advantage But yeah, I'll need to see if I can come up with ways to combat swarms of mobs.
I've been working on getting an update for this with the limited time I have. I'm down to only 1800 errors to fix! So yeah, it might still be quite a while, pretty much everything changed with 1.8.
However! One thing I'd like to start working on is balancing the Quincy faction, as there isn't really a "leveled up" version of them. Shinigami have shikai, and the even the super buggy Hollows can evolve I'm thinking of implementing it in a tree style, such as in Fire Emblem:
So here's the question:
What sort of abilities do you want Quincies to gain?
Obviously as you level up, strength and agility will increase, but I figured I'd get some community input on this
2. There's a lot of work that goes into bankai. Minecraft code keeps changing. I'm a college student with a full schedule. I've got other projects to work on. I'm the only coder for this entire project which gets a little overwhelming. There's plenty of reasons that might sound like excuses, but that's that.
does anybody no what happened to littlebreadloaf cause he stopped replying for a long time now
Life happened I don't have much time to work on this, plenty of reasons. I'd love to get some actual progress on this mod, but I never have free time anymore :/
Is there a confirmation on the release date of the next update as I am very curious as to what it will be like
Nope, not sure when I'll be able to work on the mod consistently. As I'm the only one working on it, when I'm swamped with other work, nothing gets done. If I had a team of coders, we could work on different parts at the same time, pick up each other's slack when the other is busy, get updates out much faster. But I don't T_T
Well we're still deciding what would work best before we even try to implement it. There's kind of two ideas floating around at the moment.
One would be skills that you can choose which ones to upgrade, to a certain max, i.e. speed, knockback, jump height etc. with a max on each such as 5 block jump before you can't upgrade it any further.
The second idea is more of a tree, or a path where if you upgrade one section, you'd have to forego another. So from the basic, you can choose a speed or strength path, then from whichever you choose more options would open up.
This would be for both shinigami and quincies, to make them more even. So I guess I'm looking for community input here, not really a poll but checking to see which ones seem more popular. Of course, both of them would take a lot of work, but we'll see how much I can get done
Just so you guys know, the mod makers have temporarily put a hold on production of the Bleach mod to pursue development of another mod (a fish mod I believe). This hold is temporary.
I have been working on another mod, but the main reason is just school. Haven't really been putting time into either mod recently, but I should be having more free time soon
So I finally finished up my finals at college. I haven't really been working on anything modding related in a long time, because this was a really important quarter, as I was in the middle of switching majors. For some reason, I put school ahead of modding
So hopefully now I'll have some more time to work on this, at least more than before. I've started porting to 1.8, but again a lot has changed, so that might take a while. Here's what's up on the to do list:
1. Update to 1.8
2. Make a more stable release, possibly make Hollow Faction work for multiplayer. But as of now, not sure how well that will work.
3. Balance skills, add skill tree to shinigami and quincy.
After that, I'll just be trying to add content when I can. Another thing that's been kind of weird is that some of the older versions of the mod were taken down for copyright infringement, despite the fact I'm not taking any credit for Bleach, and I'm not making money off of this >.<
So again, sorry for the long hiatus, I'll attempt to keep this running and balance with school.
I was not able to know what is the status for the air compressor. You said that you found the issue ... but I am not sure if you were talking about the error message I posted ... or the fact that it is broken.
So did you noticed the break and did you found the fix ?
Yeah, apparently the problem is with redstone itself.... Somehow the block isn't picking up the signal if it changes too fast. Try slowing down your redstone loop and see if that works. I've been testing it and it seems to work fine.
Amazing mod you have here. I played around with it in the last few days and it had a LOT of life to the ocean. You have a winner here.
Few comments as constructive criticism:
Hey,
I'll see what's going on with the air compressor, and see if I can get a list of recipes up soon. As for the fishing mechanic, we were actually thinking of something very similar to that. However, it's kind of hard to work around the vanilla fishing rod, as it has mechanics of its own hardwired in, and making a custom fishing rod is a lot harder than it seems But, we're working on it
i dont see the hollow faction.. and i cant use shikia, flash step, or hollow gui
Sounds like you should try a little harder The hollow faction is only in the Test Update, as it isn't fully completed yet. You need all the requirements fulfilled for shikai (named sword, 400 points, 200 spiritual energy) and push X. Flash step, you need a full set of armor of whatever type you are, ex. Full shinigami robes. I'm assuming hollow gui means part of the hollow faction, which is in the test one only.
The Bleach Mod is finally 1.7.10 compatible! Not much has changed, just the Faction Selector has been added back in, and a few bugs were fixed. We still have two versions, the official release and the test release containing the Hollow faction.
I am putting the double air tank on it and it appears on the compressor... but nothing happened.
So I tried adding a redstone signal to the compression (with a lever) and I noticed that the big switch on the compressor goes down. But the tank air does not fill. I tried leaving it there for few minutes ... does not fill.
How does it work exactly?
PS: I am using it in multiplayer mode. I just noticed that this error message appears in the server logs when I tried to fill up a tank
Actually, the air compressor works like a pump Meaning you need fluctuations in power to get it to work. So, you can pump by hand, flipping a lever on and off next to it, or you can set up a loop to pump it for you!
We noticed the air compressor is a bit weird in multiplayer, but it still works Thanks for the data, I'll look into what's causing the error
