[1.7.2] Making A Mod That Uses IC2 and Thermal Expansion Help

[leonardude]

Hey all!

I want to make a mod that expands off of IC2 and Thermal Expansion like Forestry does. By that I mean that I want my mod to have access to the items from both mods, the power system, the fluid system, etc.. I have no idea how to do that. I believe that IC2 had an API but I don't know if it does any more. I don't think that Thermal Expansion has been updated to 1.7.2 yet but I know that IC2 has. Please help me get an idea of where to start in this regard. If you can send me to some tutorials that would be even better. Thanks so much for your time!

Sincerely,

Leonardude

From the IC2 website

 

http://ic2api.player.to:8080/job/IC2_experimental/

 

"Builds after #397 are for MC 1.7."

 

Thermal Expansion is on CoFH's webiste

It looks like they haven't updated to 1.7, yet, but there is a section there "For Modders"

I was wondering do you know how to install the API so that it is useable when modding with forge? I got the ic2 jar file installed and I got a folder call ic2, but I couldn't access the ic2 files as a referenced library. Please help if you know how.
