g Bob's Mods support?

7 years ago

Adding in Bob's Ores support would be cool.

Just add this to your dependencies in info.json: "? bob-ores >= 0.14.0"

Umm, I guess I could look into it, I've never played Bob's but I know many do.

Yes! Please add Bob´s Ore xD

Okay, so I've added the dependency, but I guess there need be specific recipes for ore conversion?

I've just taken a very quick look at Bobs ores, there's 12 right? I figure you want recipes for exchanging all of them?!

this could be the ultimate ore conversion mod

I'm looking through your code, and it seems like you only have the copper and iron recipes implemented currently. In total, all the ores (including vanilla) are:

  • Iron
  • Copper
  • Tin
  • Lead
  • Silver
  • Gold
  • Aluminum
  • Titanium
  • Tungsten
  • Gem (Don't know if you want this one)
  • Cobalt
  • Zinc
  • Quartz
  • Nickel
  • Coal
  • Stone

You could probably do some LUA scripting to automatically generate ore conversion recipes by going through the list of ores, and for each ore in the list, create a recipe for every other ore.

Please guys, don't hold your breath... I only do modding as a side hobby, and I'm not really all that familiar with LUA, but I'll try my best to make this happen.

If you're stuck, look at other mods for code examples.

I went ahead and did about 25% of the manual conversion work, if anyone wants to take it from there it's there's to do.

WOW, I came back to see if I could do a little work on this and found ^^^^ that. That's some awesome input. I'll take what you've done and see if I can't tie a ribbon around the remaining bits.

I guess I'll need someone willing to test it too as I can't.

Ongoing update: I now have all of the ores and 'recipes' added, but having some major issues trying to debug things stopping it from loading...

After 0.15 dropped I've had less time to figure out what is going wrong with mods as I've been playing a lot more, but to those that might be checking here - I'm still thinking about it and, yes it will be brought up to 0.15.
