Any plans for smaller drones that can be set into defensive positions where they move to attack mobs within range, then move back to the position assigned to them? Or for patrol paths to keep a safe perimeter around your base?
Yes there can be smaller drones without customizability, like each tiny drone can only do 1 kind of task
This is a WIP forum post about my upcoming mod - CustomDrones (a more catchy name for the mod maybe? :D)
Here there will be progress updates, asking for suggestions and public vote on what will be the best thing.
These drones will revolutionize the way transportation, automation, and companionship is done in Minecraft!
First let's see some screenshots of V0.1
Fully functional wings (which means they rotate xD), awesome flying mechanism.
Although no texture yet.
Here comes V0.2 images and new implementations
Drones now have gui, custom texture, custom crafting using the very basic craft bench, and basic customizability!!!!!!!
V0.2 images
A textured drone - Full emerald level, try to look closer as drones seem much cooler when you look closely.
Drone GUI
Shows a lot of information about the drone!!! maybe even too much??
You can install mods (but they do nothing for now) and later you will also be able to repair drones using ingots and gems,...so on, lots of items to be usable for drones
Crafting
Put some engines, some casings, a chip, and a core of any level in the same matrix and you will have a customized drone. Or use the creative inventory.
Future plans (which are being implemented right now, so actually they should be called "now plans")
Items transportation, mobs transportation, players transportation (yes, you can fly with it), automatic path making, environment scanning (ore scan, monsters scan,...) offensive behavior (shooting monsters?), auto item storage, solar powered drones, modules,....
These drones will revolutionize the way automation is done in Minecraft!
What you can do now with the drones?
For now, just flying them around and hitting the cows with them xD
Seriously, you can do that!
There is an item that helps you control the drone. Hold the item, right click to switch between modes, and fly 'em!
Or you can let them fly with you in creative mode, see who flies faster!
If there are suggestions to improve the model as well as the texture and the functions of the drones, I'm eager to hear them out.
If you want to try playing the drones for fun, here's the download
hey WilliamLe im having problems i've been messing around in creative mode hemmys staff but for some reason no matter what staff i use i cant use spells like Vortex
Edit: i can use the short spells like snow or depotion
I have only one request / question. By any chance can you make more bosses? I love using the staves for bosses however there is only one and he just sits there :C
Yes I'm adding more monsters in general, it's just that i'm not having the time right now to do it quickly
I'm already fixing lots of existing bugs, development is being slowed down a bit because I'm having some other matters to attend to but the next update will not be minor.
Sorry for the delay.
I'm already fixing lots of existing bugs, development is being slowed down a bit because I'm having some other matters to attend to but the next update will not be minor.
For some reason sometimes i cast a shield-snowstorm thing (the one that sprays snow layers) then I leave, and if I come some time later or repawn near there the spell is cast in the same place for no reason (nor me recasting it).
Not a big deal but is there a bug with this?
Also suggestion:
Make thingys less expensive to craft, honestly it takes 16 gold and 16 iron to make a blue thingy, and 4 stacks of both to make a purple one. Unless you have a giant a** factory that takes a hundred chunks wide of quarrys or you waste your whole life at farming mages, some items like the super staff, the tier 3 max-mana upgrade or some alternative staves are just impossible to make. This is surprising considering that, in exchange, the staff enchanting table is worth its components and trades.
The storm currently has 1 bug, I'm looking into it.
About the thingy's recipe, that's as cheap as I'll go, originally you need 1 emerald for each thingy.
Higher tier items are very expensive, I know, that's why I made it so you can choose whether to craft strong staves or enchant weak staves.
And this mod is nowhere near the end of it's development, lots of things will be added sooner or later, there'll be other ways to acquire higher-tier thingys and items
loved Mgka 1 and 2 but why do all the spells that are queued seem so weak. i thought 5 lightning would nearly kill a zombie but apparently id be doing more damage by hitting it with the staff (exaggeration but it does take about 3x casting lightning to kill a zombie).
There are 2 main reasons for the spells being weak at first with just the basic staff
1. It's not that hard to get the basic staff, if with just the basic staff you can easily kill every mob with a few elements then it'll be too overpowered. Besides, each spell has it's own strength and weakness, for example lightning can chain through mobs, killing multiple at the same time, but short-rage while beam is single-target but can be shot from very very far away
2. Lots of people, I believe, will use magic to play PvP games, since players only have 20 hearts and some armor, if the spells are too strong then PvP battles won't last long enough.
Either get better equipment or use the right spells for the right time
Seems I have an area now with fire that just falls constantly over and over but it doesn't make any sound or burn/melt things... Can't seem to get rid of any of it.
Seems there are water particles doing the same, rebooting the server doesn't seem to help, etc. I am using the 1.7.2 version, I am assuming this is why.
Unfortunately the 1.7.2 version still contains many bugs and that's one of them
I'm totes making a vid on this today, It sounds and looks AMAZING! I'll make sure I go over everything that so that if you wanted to make it the video on the forum page, new people can see exactly how awesome it is
If you wanna see my other mod reviews they have a decent amount of views (20,000-60,000) just so you can get an idea on how precise I am with the mod reviews I do
I believe you will make a very very good review I'm counting on that
I don't see any mages added to my JustAnotherSpawner spawn lists or anything like that for Minegicka and can't seem to find Mages in my world. I'm using the 1.7.2 version... Doesn't seem like it is trying to spawn any mobs in my worlds at all. No errors or issues, just no mobs... not even 888.
Yeah, even forced it to repopulate the lists and it is generating nothing for Minegicka... Mobs aren't dropping thingies, either.
Lastly, I can't find a config for this mod. Is this normal? Every other part of the mod is working flawlessly.
The version 0.1.0 for MC1.7.2 doesn't have any monsters added though it has all the basic mechanics like spells and magicks, it is just a beta version, that's why. And i figured people will soon update their mods to 1.7.10 so I did the same

Hehe hi
I've been too busy with my study I couldnt continue Minegicka

Currently, I'm making a mod that add drones into the game.
The drones can basically do anything, you name it.
You can control them, they can collect items for you, they can be like a companion that follows you and kill for you, YOU CAN EVEN FLY ON THE DRONE!
Well those are what I'm having in mind and i'm working on.
But you guys may have even better ideas or simplification for the drones. May I have some more knowledge?

I'm sure it is not
It certainly isn't. Probably you got something wrong, maybe wrong mod version or wrong forge version
