Feelings are for pussies. Unless they're unwelcome feelings, then it's sexual assault. And by asking about Keller instead of doing the simple google research, you have re-affirmed your Kellering was correct.

Better than Wolves- Mod pack in the launcher
MephistosChan replied to darlekcef's question in Technic Launcher
Quite right too, I was merely expressing my increasing disillusionment with an already pointless thread being used to advertise other mod packs. The hamsters however are sighing heavily. -
Better than Wolves- Mod pack in the launcher
MephistosChan replied to darlekcef's question in Technic Launcher
This post was previously contentless, but now I'm adding some content. Oh, I do say that the current proceedings make one most frustrated, one could sum up one's feelings in a long drawn out exhalation of breath perhaps. -
Copy/ paste with blend would be good, add chunk select from a map and it would be perfect. There are often areas that are unused or the player would be willing to sacrifice to get new spawns.

Apocolypse: The Destruction Of Therras
MephistosChan replied to Twisted Voodoo's topic in Avant Garde Arena
Keep going, you're doing well. And just FYI in the UK suspenders are what keep a woman's stockings up. Braces hold up trousers. Two countries separated by a common language, etc. -
Ah yes all true, but I did put non-trivial in the title. :)

A utility that runs a finite liquid type algorithm over the world but is not part of the normal world management routines. As a background example, I was playing with computercraft and built a small dome out of TNT and nukes. Obviously I was left with a large crater in which I decided to build a large glass dome as a base. The walls of the crater had several large water falls that, because of the bedroc,k then went nowhere and didn't refill the hole as logic would demand. (Minecraft water physics limitation). Assumed limitations, only vanilla blocks should be used unless its not a problem to include Mod blocks. The world could be generated and terraformed in a modded world and shut down, then a minecraft installation could be run with the 'finite liquid' type utility and your holes would fill. The now logical (ish) world would then be reloaded into the modded environment. The middle step is set up so that a cinematic sequence could be recorded for lets players. (or for people who just like running water simulated in minecraft) Yes this could be achieved in MCedit but not as elegantly and without the option for the cinematic sequence.

When ever we update then its often best to restart from scratch to ensure the proper balance of ores and other world generation spawns. You lose structures and any terraforming work every time. How about a utility that that allows the importation of the skin of the world but regenerates the ground beneath? This could be achieved by taking the highest and lowest point in each chunk and adding a small fudge factor (or possibly rounding to a multiple of 16 if that makes more sense with chunk loading). Yes this is possible with MCedit but the selection area would be huge and the importation to a new world would cause large and ugly vertical breaks.

The HAMSTERS, will nobody think of the hamsters! On a serious note have you tried fiddling with your Java? -

MephistosChan replied to Snowsdan's topic in The Whale Box
Hamsters doing lines? There are children on this forum you know, disgusting drug references. As if hamsters needed drugs, they're to busy watching your vinegar stroke face and sending e-mails from Nigerian princes with cash flow problems. -
Don't worry about the swan, just see one of my other educational posts in a different thread where I explain about hamsters. All the swan means is you are using a computer that is approved by the royal family.

I was going to give the sarcastic answer of "When I log in to the forums I check the stickies." but I wont. I suggest you check the stickies. -
Oh god these threads are coming faster and faster. Forestry, BTW and ETA's spinning ever faster until the world ends in December. It happened to the Mayans, they may have called it Better Than Jaguars but it's the same thing. Even the fact they modified it to work with pyramids and called this offshoot Better Then Incas is far to close to what we see happening today. The END IS NIGH and only faith in the one true mod pack will save us. Prepare for the seventh coming of Technic, just don't ask when it'll be here.

Please do not listen the person above who recommends defenestration as a method of improving your computer. Fenestre is Latin for window, all this user is telling you to do is get rid of windows. This would harm the well-being of the hamsters or which ever small animal your computer manufacturer uses, it is an obvious and crass method of undermining the frankly astounding animal rights record of these machines. The animals that power your browsing and games playing should be treated with the same respect as guide dogs, rescue dogs and braille worms. YES, even Braille worms, those selfless creatures that headbutt dents into paper so the blind may read. Hamsters have very few pleasures in life, apart from the knowledge of a job well doneand looking through windows is one of those. Do not take it away from them. The other main pastime is watching the computer owner through the web cam whilst they watch porn. They have built up an extensive record of climax expressions and have published many theories on what they mean, in general these have been well received in such respected circles as Dr Phil and J, Springer. In an attempt to further their understanding they frequently swap these pictures and the data flow is believed to take up 98.3% of all internet traffic, with porn being a further 1.1%. and pictures of cats being 0.6%. No useful work was carried out to the limit of the testing. -

You sir are a god amongst men. Not only have you supplied me with coloured glass but after it didn't work first time I did a little digging and found I still had Java 1.7.3 and 1.7.4 installed, simply by deleting .4 I can now play Technic 7 dev build with out it crashing. Like I said you are a god amongst men and thank you.

As the 360 version is now released and seems to have a similar system to that which is planned, perhaps they'll have a greater chance of getting it right first time, Oh, what am I saying, must be the happy pills.

I really hope all these ideas can make it into the full pack.

Is that a drop in the vanilla jar file or a modloader type installation. IE how to I install it? And thanks for doing that I'm sure it will be great.

MephistosChan replied to Snowsdan's topic in The Whale Box
I am really surprised at you for spouting this old wives tale. It's not only misleading but damaging to the community. In fact the term 'bit' goes back to about the same time as the word 'bug' and has a related origin. The first bug was reputed to be an insect that caused a short circuit in one of the early computers and got fried for its trouble whilst causing the program to crash. What is not so widely known is that the insect was from the coat of a poorly disinfected hamster used to power the computer. The hamster was harnessed into the power supply and controlled using a 'bit' in the same way as horses are today. As the need for computing power increased so did the the number of hamsters but due to problems with balancing the rapidly spinning hamster wheels it was realised that the number of hamster positions (now known as 'bits') had to be increased as powers of 2. Hence 8, 16, 32 and 64 bit architecture. These days hamsters are only used to power the largest of set ups and are still widely used in server farms, where there is a growing problem of the heat generated from all these sweaty little rodents. Home PC's are powered by other, smaller animals, each breed being unique to a specific manufacturer and are highly secret. The very existence of these animals is frequently denied to prevent trouble with animal rights activists. As a final point, there is only 1 'popular' brand of computer that doesn't use animal power, obviously this is the 'Apple' which is apple powered, which is why they're shit.
