So did Risu screwed it up?
It was a metaphor.
What Lex meant was : If Risu leaves modding/stops updating ML, they're going to discontinue ML compatiblity.
And no, he didn't, there's a ModLoader for 1.3.1. Hence ML compatibility will still be present.
Not sure if just joking or serious. He can do that. Quite easily.
I understand. If I don't have the right to joke around, probably I don't deserve to.
But, shouldn't there be a rule allowing us to report these people?
There is always the time when you're decompiling a mod that isn't open source, and it requires forge.
You need to have ALL required classes at decompile time, so you get the forge client, and you decompile that with said mod.
There really isn't a need. When you connect to a server, a list of mods on the server is sent to your client, and it will abort the connection if you don't have the client equivalents. Work off this and download your mods manually. I don't think server admins would like to post mod lists here.
