How to convert your world's blocks/items to new ID's

[gamefreak955]

First, if i have posted in the wrong place i apologize, as i did not notice a more accurate place to post.

Anyhow

Converting a world's block IDs/item IDs is possible using a program called mIDas GOLD, but it's highly impractical to correctly input all the conversion values this program needs by hand especially when your using several mods.

But your in luck because mIDas GOLD v0.2.1 has a "patch" load function.

So i made a simple program called mIDas Patch Maker to utilize this function.

Basically, you provide the patch maker two copies of the same mods.cfg file.

The first copy containing the Block/Item ID's your world was generated with, should be renamed "old.cfg" and placed into the mIDas Patch Maker's directory.

The second copy should have correct/new Block or Item ID values you want your world to use. And should be named "new.cfg" and placed into the mIDas Patch Maker's directory.

With this information in place, run mIDas Patch Maker, and if all goes well, you'll have a new text file ready for mIDas GOLD named "Patch.txt"

Legal:

I'm too dumb to use any sane license like the zlib license, the GPL, or the BSD license so a mod replaced the former "license" with this message. Hooray!

i laughed at the copyright, but the tool sounds useful if it is legit.

So i guess if you can't believe 1 detection out of 48 is a false positive. Don't download it.

It's really not. Even freeware has copyrights.

I'm not getting into any legal stuff, only this: Any and all 'copyrights' or any other legal stuff on a mod does not and will not hold true.

This guy has the right idea, and for the record I WILL be perma-kellering for people being idiots about copyright.

While I appreciate any constructive criticism, I feel this thread is getting off topic, as it is about a method to convert a world's blocks/items, and there's only been one legitimate post relating to such (Graziservers first post)

I have the right to put any copyright i wish, if you need to say something to me that doesn't relate to patch making/block converting (such as licensing and copyright), PM me about it.
