PatchCraft?

[mrpi64]

The licence for 1.0.0 is THE SAME as 1.1.0! Good news for us.

[4thdwarflord]

I must get round to decompiling it then. I don't actually know C++, but it looks like this will be the place to start (I need motivation, and what more motivation is there than being able to mod minecraft). 1st on the list - redstone.

Edit: Unfortunately my pi is currently out of action - X not responding

[mrpi64]

hehehe. why not just say the licence was in plain elvish? it would have made no difference!

Posted a new update for Hacking MCPI: The Guide! see gaming forum (it's there somewhere!)

[mrpi64]

I was playing on mcpi one day and suddenly I thought, " This game could be modded a lot". Then it came to me. Wouldn't be cool to make a kind 'tekkit' or 'FTB' equivalent for mcpi! (a heavily modded version of the game)
I've already nearly finished on the textures. I'm going to use sphax. The next stage of development is going to be making the patches. I can code, but I may need some help making the patches. The patches need to be in .mod format to work. Please feel free to leave any ideas( name maybe? ) help or anything in reply!

Definetly Feed The Beast!

Hold up everyone, new patch might be coming soon; UNLOCK SURVIVAL MODE!!! WOOHOO!!!

What? Found the key?

[mrpi64]

Not me, but someone lese. I have found many things to do with survival, but only suceeded in crashing mcpi.

After seeing your new guide I feel a huge session of experimenting - once my keyboard arrives. I will have... something in a few weeks. I might try a crude form of redstone using wool.

Ok, I'm having a chat with BluDragon, and he says that using assembly code, we might be able to add in spaces using a hex editor. That will be very useful for connecting to non-local PE servers (AKA servers that are not connected to your internet hub)

[mrpi64]

Bum that, when's the NEXT version of MCPI coming out? I'M WAITING, and loosing my patience, too!

[nexusrex]

PLEASE when you found the key to open survival mode tell me or pm me

That would be useful - the mechanics of redstone could be done with a python script (probably the easiest way), but I would want to be able to add in a few blocks and have the binary fire up the script when the world launches. Just remember not to distribute any modded binaries! And with non-local PE servers - why not a VPN?

[mrpi64]

Well, about the redstone thing; That would be very hard. Instead of 'mdistributing' modded binaries, we could create an executable file that 'automatically' mods in the right places!

redstone logic: every redstone block corresponds with an object containing a bool for on/off and 4 pointers, one for each possible attached redstone wire. it would also have a method (or function) to change its state and call the same function for all the attached wires. could also have a parameter for signal it could decrement every time so you have distance limits like in the PC version. repeaters would be the same, but with only one out put, wait for a sec in the function, and increase the signal var.
pseudo code:

Code: Select all

class redstone_wire():
    bool on;
    array_of_pointers(1 to 4);
    int change_value(signal, value);
    {
           if value == false;
           {
                   on = false
                   for i in array_of_pointers():
                   {
                            current_pointer.change_value(0, false)
                   } 
           }
           else:
            {
                    on = true
                    signal = signal - 1
                    if signal >= 1:
                    {
                          for i in array_of_pointers:
                          {
                                 current_pointer.change_value(signal, true)
                          }
                    }
            }
    }

function for repeaters
int change_value(value)
{
        on = value
        output.change_value(15, value) //the pointer to a repeaters one output, 15 is for the signal because repeaters boost signals.
}

I guess that torches or snow covers would do for wires.

[techno9487]

Id love to help, this sounds great. Not to be dumb but ive edited the hex. How do i then make it so people don't have the edit the hex. The installer changes it for them?

[techno9487]

I'd be happy to help you if needed. However does anyone know how to make a program that adds in the changes make in the hex editor. So if I changed something in the hex editor I could get people to download a patch or program that would change it on their version of mcpi?

[4thdwarflord]

Over on the minecraft.net forums that had a tool for 1.0.0 (the leaked version) that did exactly that.

[techno9487]

right ok ill take a look

[mrpi64]

Put up a link please once you have found what you are looking for

[4thdwarflord]

Bsdiff and PTPatch is what I had found, the ones used in the Survival patch!

[mrpi64]

I put up a post for Survival Mode.

Can you try to find a version of Minecraft pi that is just redstone: dust, torch, and repeater plus all of the wool blocks so I can build a computer in Minecraft pi? And I would like it to be super flat and a little bigger world. Or maybe explain the steps it would take to do this?

[mrpi64]

Well, I'm afraid that the only possible thing of the above to do is a superflat world - look up some Python+MCPI tutorials, then you can find out how to loop, and therefore loop over the different layers that you may want.
Also, you could try finding a Minecraft Pocket Edition superflat world - try the MCPE maps+modding forum on the official Minecraft forums.
