I volunteer to update Hack/Mine

[theory]

I am a programmer with plenty of experience regarding minecraft mods.

I would like to volunteer to update Hack/Mine to base 1.4.5 . I would post my suggestions for handling the new content for concept review before implementation.

With an official go-ahead, and source access, I can start immediately. Please let me help!

[Silent]

What mods have you made?

[theory]

Independently, none. I've assisted with several, however. I have the necessary ability to get this done. Just need permission.

[theory]

By Bukkit's license, I'm pretty sure this should be open source. Is there a repository somewhere I can branch and begin work?

I found this on the yogscast page for H/M

Well that is unfortunate. Looks like he's more concerned with monetizing it later than he is with having a quality product. I was laying out a mod very similar to this when I came upon H/M. I was hoping that instead of competing with it, I could contribute to it so there would only be a single true RPG mod. If Frizzil is uninterested, however, as it seems to be, then I'll just have to go my own way.

Thanks anyway.

Well, have you even asked him? Maybe he wouldn't be against if you asked nicely.

[theory]

What would be the best way of going about that?

Sending him a PM to his account on the MCF, because that's probably what he checks the most often. By the way, what mods did you participate into? Just curious.

Whatever legal technobabble that is, it is most definitely crap. Go ahead and modify the code all you want, theory.

Actually, you can mod the source code as much as you want but you can't redistribute a working copy of the mod.

I think what he meant is that "mod copyrights" are BS since the mods themselves are on unstable ground. In other words, one can do whatever he wants without fear of legal retaliation. But it's still douchy to modify and release a content without even asking, I would at least try.

[IpwnUall]

Yes. Please do that. I've wanted to play hack/mine for ages!

I'd just like to say that Frizzil is still working on this mod, and frequently posts in his thread of the minecraft forums.

The official thread on minecraftforum dot net is titled [1.2.3] HACK SLASH MINE (SPELLSCRIPT ALPHA IS AVAILABLE!). The URL contains this as the topic number 502897-123-hack-slash-mine-spellscript-alpha-is-available. He released an update about a week ago. 0.6.4a2 is out but no in technic yet. after a bit more testing, it should be released in technic.
