Hello, I am creating a mod for my friend's modpack, which has mods like IC2, thermal expansion, and universal electricity. I do not want to create any new ores, so I want to use the items (like metals) from IC2 and others. Also, how do you make a NEI addon/plugin?

 

Thanks,

AssossaGPB

just import them in your workspace and code

How exactly do I do that?

You would need the other mods source code.

could I use the ore dictionary to do this? If so, how?

That depends on what the mod's author supports. if he added it to the ore dictionary and you know the name it was added under, then yes. Else nope.

 

Generally you need to get the API or src from the mod's author

I have the ic2 api, now how do I import it into eclipse?

Copy it into your workspace.

ok, I now have the ic2 api installed, but when I start minecraft from eclipse, ic2 is not there. How am I supposed to test crafting recipes without any of the ic2 items? Can someone give me step by step please? I'm new to forge and I haven't modded for about a year.

You have to download the ic2 universal, and drop it in the mods folder which is located at: mcp/jars/mods. If that doesn't work try adding CodeChickenCore to your mods folder. With CodeChickenCore installed you can load any other mod within eclipse.

THANK YOU! That makes much more sense!

That's what you do on forums, you help people.

I can't use any items from ic2 in my crafting recipes:

GameRegistry.addRecipe(new ItemStack(SimpleCircuit, 9), "TIT", "IRI", "TIT", 'T', Items.getItem("tinIngot"), 'I', Item.ingotIron, 'R', Block.blockRedstone);

 

I get this error:

How do I get the ic2 source code? and how do I use the oredictionary?

How do I get the ic2 source code?

 

see the details in gregoriousT's profile on ic forums...

http://forum.industrial-craft.net/index.php?page=User&userID=5045

 

and how do I use the oredictionary?

 

first. figure out how to use the wiki.

 

http://www.minecraftforge.net/wiki/How_to_use_the_ore_dictionary

 

 

How do I get the ic2 source code? and how do I use the oredictionary?

 

For the first google it, for the second there are tutorials if you google it.

 

Also you may want to strat with a cup of java, here: http://courses.vswe.se/

personally, I didn't even create an account here until after i'd watched all of vswe's modding courses... i felt unqualified

or rather, i felt it was important i felt completely happy with the terminology and the environment and the processes before i started jumping in here...

[ that's not to say i felt intimidated by these forums, not at all... i just felt that was a minimum requirement to be a "beginning modder" than a "floundering n00b" ]

 

edit: caveat, that in no way means i'm qualified now, it just means i don't feel unqualified

I found this class useful. It has been removed in more recent builds due to RP not updating, but I use this for comparability with other mods...
