Some Modders Genuinely Make Me Smile

[jakj]

That might be the case in less than one out of every five thousand error reports, and meanwhile, it fucks with the experience of legitimate users and fucks with modders who try to use unsigned jars because there's no point to signing the jar of a Minecraft mod besides DRM. People don't even use hashes to check downloads, nor would they even understand how.

[hoho]

mDiyo is at it again. He and Greg had an agreement he can modify Gregs code "As long as it is constructive and reasonable in some way, and doesn't intentionally break things"

GT has an oredict scanner in his mod that autodetects everything in oredict and builds recipes for various machines out of that automagically. To make life easier he made a filter to say in console if some entry in the dict doesn't follow good practices of using oredict. For example:

2013-10-20 08:49:36 [iNFO] [sTDERR] WARNING: 'stoneRod' is an invalid OreDictionary Name. The Name doesn't fit to the Type of Item and/or doesn't follow a proper OreDictionary Convention. If you are the Owner of the Mod who adds this Item, please do the following:

2013-10-20 08:49:36 [iNFO] [sTDERR] Put the 'Rod' in the beginning of the Name to get 'rodStone'

2013-10-20 08:49:36 [iNFO] [sTDERR] Private Prefixes could also be a solution if the first Suggestion doesn't apply. In that case the suggestion for the name is 'ForgeMicroblock:stoneRod' don't forget to insert the ':' inbetween the Mod ID and OreDict Name, that is the most important part.

2013-10-20 08:49:36 [iNFO] [sTDERR] If you are not the Owner then report it to the Owner of the Mod, which the Item belongs to.

Notice that this is merely a notice and a suggestion, not an error or anything.

mDyio didn't like to see his wrongly registered stuff show up in forge log and supposedly had people report that to him as error*s. His "solution" was to break Gregs oredict scanner:

https://github.com/SlimeKnights/TinkersConstruct/blob/master/src/tconstruct/plugins/misc/PeaceOfMind.java

*) Looking in github and TiC thread, there was a combined total of one report about it since GT added the scanner about a month ago. He is just looking for excuses to screw with GT.

Using his mod with that change with GT causes the game to crash. He broke the terms of agreement Greg had with him.

[edit]

Crashing was apparently fixed. Now it only forcibly prevents GT from supporting any mod that gets loaded after TiC. Obviously he also didn't add any config option for turning his hack off.

[edit2]

Apparently not only will the TiC change make GT not support any mods loaded after TiC it also completely breaks GT recipes making the mod unplayable.

[edit3]

According to #TinkersConstruct logs mDyio planned to cause GT silently not load on 15'th of October. On 19'th he found out about the oredict scanner existing in the first place. This means he had the plan to screw with GT long before the oredict thing was even brought to his attention.

Also, there were exactly zero bugreports that had any mentions about GT in past week. It's just a searched excuse for TiC devs to screw with GT and its users.

And we should give a fuck about Greg and mDiyo's bickering why?

well its drama of course....duh.....

[Lethosos]

They enjoy breeding drama llamas between themselves, let them as long as it doesn't involve us.

Except this thread is supposed to be about modders that make you smile. Not modders that needlessly bicker.

That list is rapidly shrinking. The best I can say is, at least nobody whom I personally listed has fallen off: They're all still good.

[Richs_Yard]

Even though I am not a modder, do I make you smile o' sweet god of mine?

This is copy/pasted from ChaosX, and is the hugest bullshit. The message specifically instructs users to open erroneous bug reports with mDiyo. "Yeah, but my attempts to fuck with you didn't work, so you're not allowed to get mad." is the weakest defense.

Hi everyone, I'm posting here to try and help spread the word about a new group of youtube gamers called "THE OMG CREW"

The group is currently made up of two guys called Josh and Luke, who are both dedicated to their channels and incredibly entertaining to watch!

Josh does several minecraft series, including a Hexxit series which is my favourite!

Please check them out and help them to grow as they really do deserve it!
