MinecraftForge 1.8

[WARDOGSK93]

so Minecraft pre-1.8 has been released, i can only ask one question though how much longer untill Forge 1.8 is released ore Forge pre-1.8

[Xcox123]

Well guessing from previous releases, no freaking way a pre-release forge, and 1.8, due to the rendering/handling changes, will take AT LEAST 3 months estimate for 1.8 forge to be released

[FLUFFY2]

The MCP team started the work to update their code once that is done Forge team starts to update.

I would predict 2-2.5 mounth till a stable release!

[WARDOGSK93]

thanks i just wanted to know how long it would be untill i need to update my mod

[Chibill]

Right now I am working on deobfuscating 1.8 starting at the first snapshot.

[LexManos]

I'm busy with con until the ~5th

After that I am going to passout and recover from con.

After that I will update MCP

After that cpw and I will update FML

After that I will update Forge.

It'll get done, soon, but Part of them releasing it while i'm at con is a good thing, it lets them stabilize {if they are going to do a 1.8.1/2} while im at con and I can work on those.

Expect a release sometime early-mid-september.

I'm assuming sometime mid november now?

[Eternaldoom]

There are already 1.8 FML builds.

[longlostbro]

There is nothing about it in the releases board.

[larsgerrits]

That's because they're test versions.

anytime soon with the 1.8 forge allready i dying to use mods on this badboy but cant

[larsgerrits]

They are already working on building a stable FML version for MC 1.8, and then they start working on Forge, so that's gonna take a while.

[LexManos]

Fml for 1.8 had been out for a while,  tell modders to start testing and gone reports. As for forge is in the works, rewriting all patch files by hand and a lot of the forge 8nternals. As well as dealing with cpw leaving and the potential .1 and .2 that is been waiting on mojang to drop (I've known is been pending for a while,  but my forge work and work with other modders are filtering to mojang and they ate fixing the bugs we find)

[NovaViper]

I have a question about the FML 1.8 pre-release. Is the same as forge or is it two completely different things? If I use this pre-release will I have to completely switch over to FML and be able to switch back to forge?

[NovaViper]

Ok, thanks!

With the FML 1.8 release, you can start to update your mod.  I have been able to get mine updated except for armor and the dimension which require forge.  This way you can be that much further along when forge is released.  You can start to see all the changes that are required in block rendering.  I am running a 1.8 world now with two of my mods in it now.  Just rem'ed out the things that needed forge.

[Eternaldoom]

Me too. Everything except armor and a dimension. I needed ASM for a lot of things though (tileentity update packets, bow animations, and block particle textures for a render type of 2).
