Biomes O' Plenty will not install with Forge

[flegin]

All my mods recommend Forge except for one. Biomes O' Plenty. It will ONLY work with ModLoader. Can this be fixed?

 

UPDATE: I just tried a suggestion from a friend to follow these steps:

1. Delete Meta-Inf

2. Add Mods (Minimap, Etc.)

3. Add Forge

4. Add Optifine

 

It no longer crashes, but now it gets stuck on the screen that says "loading world, converting world".

 

Any ideas?

Don't use Biomes O' Plunty, use ExtraBiomesXL, BOP is a fork of EXBL, it is specifically designed to NOT work with forge. As it edits a ton of base classes where it doesn't need to. Go yell at it's author for being a twat.

Im thinking I will have to use Extra Biomes, but I liked Biomes O' Plenty better, so I was hoping I could figure out a way to get it to work. Anyways the maker of BOP is planning on making it Forge compatible, he says, but right now, he doesn't know how. But who knows? Thanks anyways though, guess I'll just have to wait it out or use Extra Biomes.

Is he? Last I checked the BOP thread he wasn't, and was going all FlowerChild-like with the anti-forge statements.

So yeah, if he does want to, he can drop us a note here or on the irc.

I read through most of the forums on the page for Plenty O' Biomes trying to find if someone had found a way to make it work with Forge, and he kept saying that he didn't want to because people keep bugging him about it, but if some modders that were familiar with Forge would help him, then he would like to, since it is too confusing for his modding skills right now. It's not his main priority, but he is willing if he had help or the knowledge to do so.
