Posted November 11, 201311 yr Hello im looking for someone to teach me some of the forge api i know the basics like making a mob , items , blocks ect and i know most of the bukkit api.
November 11, 201311 yr Is there something specific you want to know about? PM's regarding modding questions should belong in the Modder Support sub-forum and won't be answered.
November 11, 201311 yr Author I did wanna know how to randomly generate structures with a schematic file
November 11, 201311 yr Well that wouldn't exactly be anything specifically to forge then I assume you know how to parse XML files and preform basic IO operations on a text file? You could learn how to parse the schematic files yourself. Which isn't that hard. They are saved in the NBT format: http://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Schematic_file_format Normally you parse the contents of the file into an 3Darray of blockIDs and use that to generate. Or you can use some other guys API for it, I'd recommend looking into TehBeards LibSchematic api. It's not finished yet but it's working and you can get it from his github You could also check out CoolAlias structure generation tool here, although it's not about schematics: http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1963371-structure-generation-and-rotation-tool/ If you guys dont get it.. then well ya.. try harder...
November 12, 201311 yr First, I would recommend learning Java basics before delving into APIs. Second, I would read the tutorials associated with the Forge API basics. Third, I would read the Javadocs for the Forge API. Fourth, I would look on GitHub for open-source mods that include Forge integration for insight. Lastly, I would begin coding, having drawn all of the above mentioned details.
November 13, 201311 yr Well First watch the following to learn Java: http://thenewboston.org/list.php?cat=31 That helped me ALLOT! After you think you know the basics. I recommend the following modding series. because they are short, and short: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrnh7I7rzm5zvPDCW6eGWhTVQh3BPh2bu
