MCAnimator Alpha 1.0 We have just released a prerelease to let you play with this awesome model editor and to show you all the features we have already added in. In this version you won't be able to export the models into Minecraft (we are still working on it), but you can import all the models from Techne and obviously save all your projects to finish them later. Download the prerelease at the MinecraftForum topic: http://www.minecraftforum.net/forums/mapping-and-modding/minecraft-tools/2187221-alpha-mcanimator-already-1000-downloads-create How to use: extract the directory anywhere and double click the .jar file. You need Java 7. [embed=425,349] [/embed] Forget Techne and all its bugs and limitations! MCAnimatoris a new free editor that let you create your own Minecraft models and animate them without knowing how to code. Similar to Techne graphic, but completely made in Java for a perfect compatibility with all the computers, the MCAnimator will make your life a lot easier. MAIN FEATURES PLANNED FEATURES Please check the official topic. We will soon create an official website and many tutorials to help you creating awesome models for your mods!

As diesieben07 said, the only way is moving the Forge line in the Minecraft run() method. It's an easy fix, but someone must do it (I'm not good at github at all unluckily). Jabelar, I tried the same stuff yesterday and I already said your thoughts in my previous posts, like: Obviously, you mustn't use reflections for native code and using the workaroud diesieben07 suggested is good enough, just remember to remove the keybind from the list when it has been released. Anyway we are all waiting for this little feature and I hope to see it in the next Forge versions Have a good day guys! Axel

Thanks coolAlias for your useful answer, on the keyDown event I'll add that key to a list which is looped every tick. For each entry of that list I will check if it is still pressed. If it's has just been released, it will apply the correct code and remove that entry from the list. Seems really fair to me, but dirty Thanks again!

EDIT: I still don't get how can I detect the key released in a onUpdate function. I tried this, but it will override also all MC keybinds: @SubscribeEvent public void tickClient(ClientTickEvent e) { System.out.println("TESTING"); while (Keyboard.next()) { System.out.println("TESTING STUFF0"); if (Keyboard.getEventKeyState()) { System.out.println("TESTING STUFF1a"); FMLCommonHandler.instance().fireKeyInput(); //KeyInputEvent (on key press) } else { System.out.println("TESTING STUFF1b"); SWKeyHandler.keyUp(Keyboard.getEventKey()); //My KeyOutputEvent (on key release) } } } Do you have any other solution? Thanks again, Axel

Thanks guys for your answers, I will probably follow coolAlias steps. It's just that I seriously don't like when the code is messy and having all the key events around the code is surely a terrible behaviour for any good coder Hope Forge guys will re-add this useful feature anytime soon, Axel

Hello Forge users, I'm updating my mod from 1.6.4 to 1.7.2. My main problem right now is the new way for handling key events. I mean, they are working fine, but I don't know how to do stuff only when the key is up (after it has been pressed). So the problem is that I don't know how to update the old KeyHandler method called keyUp(). I have found only this topic: http://www.minecraftforge.net/forum/index.php?topic=18138.0 but the solution suggested is really terrible (I don't want to check for keys in a onUpdate() function..) Thanks for the help in advance, Axel

Wow, this time both your answers are very useless. 1. Nobody said that my mod only uses the zip file. 2. I need to check it BEFORE the player starts the game, so I need to know a unique way for detecting Forge's version or at least if Forge is installed. Any idea? Thank you

Hello guys, I'm making a custom installer for one of my mods and I need to detect if the right Forge version has already been installed correctly into Minecraft. How could I do that? I already have the correct path to the MC directory, I just have to detect if Forge is there, but what should I check exactly? Thanks guys as always, Axel

Thanks TGG, but I solved using IEntityAdditionalData interface. Nice ideas anyway, but remember that DataWatcher has a limit and my mod is already using 3 values of it. Bye, Axel

Hello guys, I feel pretty newbie asking this, but I'm not sure what's the best way to do it. I have a mob that has got the custom field "species". Depending on this value, the client must render a different model. So how can I sync this value between server and the clients? I don't want to use the dataWatcher for this so small and "easy" thing. Do you know any better way? Of course "species" value is set only when the mob is created the first time, then it's saved in the NBT but it will never change. Thanks in advance, Axel

Hello guys, I've just made a new mob and I'd like to check if there's any other mob in front of it. If NOT my mob should throw an arrow, otherwise it shouldn't do that (so it shouldn't damage its "allies"). I'm actually creating an invisible entity for this which collides with any possible mob and check if my mob can shoot, but it wastes a lot of useful memory and packets. Is there any other way for doing that? Like for ex. a ray tracing way (I don't know what should I look for in order to learn about ray tracing)? Thanks and have a good day/night, Axel

Many thanks MineMaarten, just to know: how can I actually mask more than 1 value? For example I have: - the 4 directions - on/off - open/close How can I get the 4 directions preserving the on/off and the open/close? Is it something like: public int getDirection(World world, int x, int y, int z){ return world.getBlockMetadata(x, y, z) & 3 & 4; //mask the on/off state and the open/close state } Thanks again! Axel

Hello guys, I've got a custom block and I'm trying to use its metadata. I'd like to store in its metadata 2 things: 1) The direction of the block (4 values: from 0 to 3) 2) If the block is ON (2 values: 0 or 1). How can I do that? I know about bitwise operations, but how can I use them in this case? Thanks in advance, Axel

Hello guys, I'd like to know what is the max range inside of which entities are spawned in clients (I mean the distance where the client asks to server for downloading entities data). The other question is: do players in other dimensions load entity of a player that join the game in another dimension (for ex. you are in the Nether and a new player join the game and spawns on Earth. Do your client generate a new entity instance for this player or does it wait for when you come back on Earth?) Sorry for the difficult explanation and as always thanks, Axel

Thanks, good to know, I will try when it will be needed (I've used ReflectionHelper instead of my old reflection code ). Axel
