This seems amazing. I hope that it develops. /me wonders if it will let me make peripherals.

kei_k, on 28 October 2012 - 03:12 AM said:

will this till be cross-compatible with current non-lua forge mods?

That's a great idea (I know you didn't come up with it, I heard you talking about another similar project on IRC). But, I am definitely going to give this a try after you guys have added more functions and more documentation. Keep working on it!

Urh… Minecraft should have been written in C++! Much easier to embed Lua.

-.- I did in fact come up with the idea of implementing Forge in Lua. In IRC, I was talking about LuaCraft, which is 1) completely different and 2) discontinued.

Lucky_Taco99, on 06 November 2012 - 12:39 PM said:

Yay! Update! (Although if I remember correctly the current version of minecraftg is 1.4.2, not 1.4.3, but I might be wrong.) I will try A.S.A.P.

dlcruz129, on 06 November 2012 - 02:48 PM said:

So how is this possible? It just seems odd that Minecraft would be able to edit itself.

So the minecraft version is the 1.4.3 pre-release?

Human, on 07 November 2012 - 08:41 AM said:

Can you please add a example mod on the wiki? Kinda hard to make a mod without documentation. The wiki explains the usage of the "block.createBlock" function but doesn't tell us what the variables in the function mean.

client.preloadTexture("/block.png")
b = block.createBlock(500, 1, "rock", "/block.png", "First block", "demo")
block.setCreativeTab("demo", "tabFood")

Actually all the arguments to the function is indeed documented. But I do need to document the types of valid material.
Here is a quick example

client.preloadTexture("/block.png")
b = block.createBlock(500, 1, "rock", "/block.png", "First block", "demo")
block.setCreativeTab("demo", "tabFood")

"/block" is the texture in the mod folder.
"rock" is the material
500 is the block ID
1 is the index of the texture file
"First block" is the visible block name
"demo" is the hidden block name for which you use to configure block properties (and is also required internally)
block.setCreativeTab sets the tab the block will show up in, in the creative menu.


Anyways, I should create a mod creation tutorial and a library of fully working examples to learn off of (including textures too)

Human, on 07 November 2012 - 09:59 AM said:

Thanks man! However, I will wait till you have the tutorial done and added a few more functions(Such as: addWorldGen, addRecipe, addItem, etc.) to actually work on anything major. But thinks for explaining all of it! But what if I wanted a block with multiple textures for each side(Like how a crafting table has 3 different textures(top, bottom, sides))?
Also, why is it "b = block.createBlock….." instead of just "block.createBlock…"?

due to his second comrade's confusion PixelToast majestically preformed a term known as a "facepalm"

it dosent convert lua code into java code, its more of a lua API and not a compiler

loluberironmanorwhatever was talking about adding block properties on le irc

samrg472, on 13 November 2012 - 05:30 AM said:

Wiki has been recently updated to make creating blocks and mods much clearer.
For setting up a mod see: http://luaforge.tk/i..._creating_a_mod
For creating a block see: http://luaforge.tk/i...ock.createBlock

Make sure you know how to setup a mod before you can create a mod though ^^

Questions? Post here or ask in the IRC ( #luaforge @ esper )

Human, on 15 November 2012 - 03:18 PM said:

Hey, in the CrafingHandler page it says that the rows of the crafting tables are strings. Can you show a example of how to add a recipe? Is the string like this: "id1, id2, id3"?

craftingHandler.addShapedRecipe(3, 2, "a", "a", "a", "a", 3)

craftingHandler.addShapedRecipe(3, 2, "dad", "ada", "dad", "a", 1, "d", 2)

tiin57, on 15 November 2012 - 04:28 PM said:

There is an issue with Optifine. LuaForge currently overwrites the same RenderEngine. Samrg is working on this, but nothing will be released until at least tomorrow (EST).

Why does LuaForge need to overwrite the RenderEngine? I thought all it does is run the Lua code then if it calls any Java functions, it runs them?

Human, on 15 November 2012 - 04:09 PM said:

So I would do:

craftingHandler.addShapedRecipe(3, 2, "dad", "ada", "dad", "a", 1, "d", 2)

If I wanted to have a recipe like this:
dad
ada
dad
Is that the correct usage?

I'm not going to implement XYZ, Optifine is a high priority bug to fix. Also you can just use variables in lua code for a config :)/>/> Or do what human does and have some custom config parsing system.

Back on topic, I'm not going to rush features. There going to take time. I spend a good 4 hours a day on this at least. Every day. I'm always working on something for the project

hey i got a suggestion… you should make a place where people can post their mods and share them.. i think it would be cool for people that dont know what they are doing and just want to mess around with other peoples creations… or you can add a mod database ingame, so like an extra button on the main menu screen like SpoutCraft kinda.

just a little suggestion you might be interested in ^.^

There is a "Mods" section on the forums. I already have published one very early mod on there. I am going to remake it tomorrow.

You are helpful and supportive, and I appreciate it. Just saying. :D/>/>/>/>

I try to do as much as I can for the community. I really love this mod and I want it to grow.

Looks great. But, I don't quite understand how to make the blocks do things (Eg. Something happens when the block is broken). I'm guessing it's not possible yet. Will it be added? Anyway, awesome mod :D/>.

Visit the forums, theres a section if you need help with coding. Same goes for all of you. Posts in this thread can be ignored or not seen at all.

the reason it should be apart of mincraft forge is so that people who use forge could download the mods that people create with luaforge and just install it as simple as that and not have to download luaforge Too!

or minecraft forge should at least have some support for the luaforge mods. for instance think of luaforge as the syntax library of eclipse (java script shell/console) and minecraft forge as the mod loader for the javascript (lua forge) mods

but seriously you should definately keep trying :)/>

or even try direwolf20
he is friends with ALOT!! of the modmakers themselves.
he could probably hook you guys up with CPW
he even uses lua/computercraft himself

The reason that LuaForge should be a part of Minecraft Forge is so that people who use Forge could install LuaForge mods without having to download LuaForge seperately.
Forge should at least have some support for LuaForge, perhaps like LuaForge being the library and Forge being the mod loader.
You really should keep trying to integrate it, though. Actually, you could try to contact direwolf20, he's friends with a lot of the mod makers and could possibly hook you up with cpw.

Don't ask, if he can afford it, then it's fine.
I didn't find anything wrong with luaforge.tk or the current forums

If i wanted to put this on a server would i just put luaforge.jar into the coremods on the server? then have my mod on the server and client too?

Yea, but I was talking about stable builds, but I could also use the dev ones…

The big update has arrived!

- A completely different startup system. No more startup variables! Instead you have functions that get called at various loading points of minecraft (e.g. before minecraft, preload, load, postload) etc…

- Mods show up in the mods list (Every aspect of it is controllable in the properties file)

- Networking support! So you can decide whether client side is required or not (same with server side required) (currently experimental, still being tested)

- Also the start of an events system that you can catch and act upon via functions

The wiki will be updated once our host is finished performing maintenance on their servers. Same with the forums.
But the Jenkins is still up and just ask in IRC if you need help! (since this system is entirely new)

Why does obfuscation make things better for a mod maker? Do you mean compilation?
Thank you.

Its really not hard, instead of the code being like this

local times = 5
local result = nil

local function calculate( one, two )
  return tonumber(one) + tonumber(two)
end

for i = 1, times do
  result = result + (calculate(read(), read()))
end

print(result)

It woudld be like this

local _a = 5
local _b = nil

local function func_a( p1, p2 )
  return tonumber(p1) + tonumber(p2)
end

for i = 1, _a do
  _b = _b + func_a(read(), read())
end

print(_B)/>/>/>

Now to me that is still very easy to understand, its just different variable and function names

SuicidalSTDz, on 24 March 2013 - 05:12 PM said:

Meh, in short code with less variables and functions it is easier.

Since I have created a modpack for myself in MC 1.4.7 and don't want to update the game since I have installed 101 mods..

But I guess I'll have to put all of them in a zip file and update the game.. Since I really want this..
