How to extend another mod?

[Mayesters]

Hey guys,

 

I want to code a new machine like other TE machines, and I don't know where to get started. There isn't any kind of API for TE 3.0 and I just don't know how to get started coding the machine. I looked at the source of TE and it all looked very structured in itself (I don't know how I can say this, I want to say that it looks like a closed system) and I don't know how to simply create a new TE machine.

 

Can you help me to get started please?

 

Sincerly

No API == No Other TE Machines

[CJLetsGame]

TE does have an api, as does its core mod. Just drag and drop the api files into your workspace.

[Mayesters]

It doesn't have an API. TE2 has got one, TE3 doesn't have.

http://teamcofh.com/ <- TE3

http://thermalexpansion.wikispaces.com/Downloads <- TE2 (where an API link is given)

 

Pls.

If the API doesn't exist, then you can't create new machines for it.

 

Not with out a LOT of work, extracting and decompiling TE and converting all the vanilla functions and fields back to their deobfuscated forms manually.

The new TE site isnt fully updated yet either. Since TE2 had an api, Im sure its just a matter of time before they implement one for TE3.

I don't think they are implementing an API they just say use IMC. But with that you can't create new machines with it.
