[SOLVED] Updating 1.4.7 mod for 1.6.4 or 1.6.2

[Agrael11]

Hi!

I've tried to update 1.4.7 forge mod so it will be compatible with newer minecraft version, but really don't know how to start. It's not my mod and source code is not available, but I've managed to decompile it and make it work. But thanks to 1.5 resourcepack update it not working at all in new version. It's just for my personal use and I don't want to share this mod. If someone would help me with this i would be really glad.

Thanks!

 

EDIT: I forget the mod name : It's redpower 2.

Alright so first of all. What have you got working, the updates have been pretty large (mostly the resource packs). There are some tutorials on the MinecraftForge wiki that will help you out with setting up the resource packs/locations. http://www.minecraftforge.net/wiki/Icons_and_Textures explains the 1.6 way of doing textures.

 

Second. Do you have permission(or is it allowed via the mod's licence) to decompile and work on this mod? If it's closed source there is probably a reason for it, and even if you are using it personally. Although my knowledge is not high enough to suggest things around licences.

 

Third. Depending on how large this mod is, It might be easier to rewrite, while copying/rewriting some of the other code. It's also a great way to clean up code, and understand it, particularly if you didn't write the code in the first place. I know for a fact, Pahimar said that the update to X minecraft version for EE2 was going to take a lot more work the creating EE3 (just as an example). If we knew what mod you were trying to update, we might understand what could've broken.

Thank you for reply, The mod is Redpower. I'll try the link you posted and see if it'll work.

Redpower has been updated in parts by several people. Im sure a little bit of googling would find Project Red. unsure how complete it is, but heres the link http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1885652-164forge-multipart-projectred-v41013-11222013/

In "Project Red" are lot of missing things, like Motors, Blulectricity, Frames and 65EL02 CPU and that is really important for me in my projects. But work on updating is going well.

So... It starts, but after creating new world it completely freezes without errors. I'm going to mark this thread as Solved and don't plan to continue with redpower update.
