Worked on the issue for a while and finally got it resolved. The first issue was really simple just a small condition fix. The real issue was handling node drops when it doesn't know which player did it. I finally got it fixed so if you disable item drops it will add them to your inventory like normal. Also a few other fixes.

It just seems like there is always something that I forget to test properly.

[Iqualfragile]

can you use a version-controll-system like hg or git for this mod?

I updated the first post to include a link to the new git repository.

[jojoa1997]

you could add an ability that makes them dig faster or dig 2*2 or 3*3

[Likwid H-Craft]

Why I didn't see this early??

Well anyways Now I think I will take this, mod for a test run.

[Consolegamer29]

+5 for effort I will try to play it seem fantastic! Sort of like Fallout,or Elder Scrolls

[Mito551]

by the way, there is a comparability issue with farming mod. it crashes when i try to use a hoe.

[Menche]

A crash, when "green thumb" is used without a tool available:

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all

[windmere33]

the farming mod is PilzAdam's, right??

[keyxmakerx]

Seems this mod and technic mod doesn't work well together?

More updates and fixes.
Fixed typo with Technic compatibility
Cleaned up file management
Added feller skill
Added item pickup option
Fixed item drop to work properly

@keyxmakerx
This should fix the issue. It was a small renaming issue from the latest update. If there is another issue let me know.

[ashenk69]

The new feller skill only applies to the axe and it works much like the Technic chainsaw. If you break the bottom tree block it will fall all the blocks on the trunk. It will work with any trees that have the item group of "tree".

[keyxmakerx]

Yet another Error =/ This time if just crashes the server without a backtrace. Also no specialties menu option for the mod menu mod. It's the mod that lets you type /m and see your available mods. But it's missing. Although it didn't crash the server upon login this time! It's when I log out that it does this. I'm going to create a new map, and see what that does, but we shall see! ^^

After fixing the errors and bugs with the code I have run Technic and this mode together and they don't seem to cause any issue now. I did notice that the first time you load with Technic and Specialties superheat may not work. All you have to do is reload the world and it should work properly. The reason is that Specialties writes some code into Technic's item drop mod to handle the superheat drops. Otherwise it would cause 2 different drops to occur. Sometimes this is done after Technic loads so the game won't read the change. The relog allows the game to read the code added.

I also fixed the purchasing of the Feller upgrade and the XP gain from it. Now you will gain 1 XP for each block it digs instead of just 1 overall.

[ashenk69]

Added HUD display for XP. Works on small and large displays. Also, it is not very intensive because it is only called when XP is changed. I would have liked to use the hud_change function but it was returning wierd results like changing the color of the text even though I input to change "text". I had to end up doing a remove and add sequence to get it to work correctly.

I don't know what had happened, and this is the first time it has messed up, just thought you would want to see this.

[ashenk69]

I never had that error occur before but I committed a check that should disallow that to occur from now on.

Thanks for reporting errors, it is really helpful.

Hey I should be thanking you for making such an awesome mod! ^^

[tinoesroho]

Hi ashen!

Love the mod to death. Honest, I do. 0.4.7 broke it somehow, and since I didn't have net access, I simply replaced the farming mod with 0.4.5's (!). Works fine, now. I rely on inventory_plus, so I'll probably just wind up forking off. Optional compatibility is nice, but if a person doesn't have inventory_plus, it's just wasted text.

Not that it's an issue with modern hardware.

Anyways. Love the update. Props, dude.

[ashenk69]

Added compatibility with Inventory Plus

[tinoesroho]

Thanks!

[keyxmakerx]

I don't want to rush you, just curious if there was a time frame for the new abilities you was planning on adding?

[ashenk69]

That is kind of something that I have there to say that more skills will and can be added. Some things I have planned for more skill is double drop, 3x3 digging size, golden hand. The golden hand will be a builder skill which will allow you to define the size of area you want to build, the node to fill the area, and where you want to place it from.
