ForgeModloader II- The Future of Modding [PLZ READ]

[foreverblu]

Use it for what?

[luacs1998]

chicken_bones is a good modder

 

ML is crap

if CodeChickenLoader is good you can use it

Goodness, CCL IS NOT AN ALTERNATIVE MODLOADER!

CCL just serves as a more dynamic way to load mods from the file system, and still depends on Forge/FML at the end of the day. It does not have anything most modders would want.

Just use FML.

the idea behind codeChickenLoader might be good, but its far from functional and last it was updated was for 1.2.3

[foreverblu]

Actually its for 1.2.5 :\ ...

One small diference between FML 1.3.1 and ML 1.3.1:

FML

public static void addSmelting(int input, ri output)
  {
    GameRegistry.addSmelting(input, output, 1.0F);
  }

ML

public static void addSmelting(int i, ri itemstack, float xp)
  {
    ta.a().a(i, itemstack, xp);
  }

This causes a mod that is suposed to be compatible with forge to not be, and I would say Risu is the winner here. just add an alternative addSmeting meathod that can handle costum exp values and I'll be happy.

You CLEARLY don't know what you are talking about. That function is clearly one that has not been updated yet, since minecraft now gives XP for smelting and because forge is not yet entirely done for 1.3.x.

Additionally, forge contains tons of better APIs for doing general stuff and a lot of the classes (but not the majority) are mainly there added begrudgingly for compatibility.

Forge and FML are also being developed way more open then Risu's Modloader and  therefore have way better community support.

Additionally the build in multiplayer support is way better then ModloaderMP.

 

Edit:

TL;DR: It isn't as much a race between FML and ML as it is FML pushing cripple old ML forward in a wheelchair.

You can't really compare the two like that. FML is an API, and ML is a system that allows it to exist.

Allows what to exist?

I assume you mean that ML loads the mods. FML also does this, that is why they're both called ModLoader. What forge also does is give it's own API to do things, but however also provides the modloader functions to keep compatibility with the mods for modloader, but only does so because a mod author didn't switch to forge yet or refused to switch for whatever reason.

Meh. Forge is and always will be the best. However i use a mac and im having mcp problems so i have to use modloader :\

[LexManos]

MCP problems?

If you can make a mod with MCP at all {mod loader mods} you should be able to install forge just fine.

Many many people use macs with forge.

*bows* thank you grandmaster for your lesson. I shall try further installing forge
