New Release! (BTW V4.10)
Version 4.10 of Better Than Wolves is ready for download!
Download Link
This release contains the following changes:
-Added the Screw as a new item.
-Added the Screw Pump as a new block.
-Added Hardcore Chests. This is a multiplayer standalone server optional mode (you can turn it off in the config file, and it does not apply to single-
player or LAN) that causes Ender Chests to use a communal inventory for all players in the world, much as they worked in the vanilla pre-release. This is
to prevent them wrecking anarchy SMP play by preventing all possibility of having your valuable items looted/stolen. Note that this will cause items
already stored in Ender Chests to not be accessible by players on your server, so you'll probably want to warn your players to retrieve their items before
installing this version if you intend to leave this mode enabled.
-Added a version check when connecting to a server with BTW installed. If your version and that of the server don't match, a warning message will be
displayed to indicate this. I also added a version display in single-player when the world is first loaded. You can check it later by popping up chat
("t" is default key).
-Added recipes to recombine all the new Siding, Moulding, & Corner blocks from the last release. Note that wood blocks may only be recombined with ones of
the same color.
-Changed Hardcore Bucket mode to be on by default for the mod. With the addition of Screw Pumps, it is now the official mode of play for BTW, but may
still be disabled through the mod config file if you have no concept of fun ;)
-Changed (increased) the amount of time it takes for the Bellows to change state to encourage the use of slower Turntable settings with it, to help reduce
SMP lag from unnecessarily fast timers.
-Changed the Bellows so that it won't pump unless it receives a continuous mechanical power state for the duration of the time it takes to change state.
This is to prevent exploits in using high-speed timers (such as pulsars) to pump Bellows.
-Changed Wind Mills and Water Wheels to not be displayed unless the chunks around them are loaded. This is to prevent them giving away base locations in
SMP Anarchy play due to them being temporarily visible when the surrounding terrain would normally make it impossible to see them.
-Changed the way Gear Boxes and Axles are handled internally to minimize the network traffic associated with them.
-Fixed problem with Oak Corners dropping Oak Mouldings when destroyed.
-Fixed problem with Hoppers and Bellows dropping the old wood siding when they are broken through misuse.
-Fixed problem with wood slabs & fences not dropping the correct Mouldings or Corners when cut using a Saw.
-Fixed erroneous semi-colon in the mod's config file.
-Fixed problem with Hardcore Sheep where certain parts of the breeding algorithm were using the parent sheep's dye color rather than their original color to
determine the color of offspring.
-Fixed problem with empty buckets not stacking properly in Hardcore Bucket mode.
-Fixed vanilla bug in Hardcore Bucket mode where milking a cow would replace an entire stack of empty buckets with a single milk bucket.

Awesome!
*Turns on HCB*
Woo!
Edit - No need to turn it on! If the config file isn't set to disable it, it's enabled! Can't wait to follow the MCF forums for this!

Re: New Release! (BTW V4.10)
Wood used in the pump, I suppose this means it doesn't work with lava. Ah well, HCB <3 And from this version on, hopefully there'll be less confusion on the server every update. Keep up the awesome work FlowerChild
Edit: For bellows, it's the third setting on the turntable now. Right? Can't start playing just yet, so can't test it.

Thank you for the update FC.

Why does it seem like 75% of your posts are backhanded criticism for stuff you haven't used yet... I believe I'm going to plop the first name onto my ignore list. Not for the comments, but for claiming to hate survival and HCB...TheInfernalEnchanter wrote:

Re: New Release! (BTW V4.10)
Wouldnt be a new release without at least one rightful ban. And yay! I've Always wanted to try HCB. Now that its default and there are pumps I'll never place a water source again.FlowerChild wrote: Don't bother. He shall trouble us no more ;)
Re: New Release! (BTW V4.10)
At the doctors at the moment, so I can't test. Few questions that are going to hound me till I can find out:
PUMPS
Do they have to powered from the bottom?
Do they place a source block above them when powered and water hitting sides? Or do they place flowing water? (ID 8 or 9?)
Is there an Input side for water? Or does it not matter which side the water hits?
And since I've never played HCB before, I have to ask... Are buckets useful for anything?
Edit: oh, still good for milking cows...
Thank you FlowerChild for the amazing updates! And for combining recipes. ^_^

Re: New Release! (BTW V4.10)
Amazing! So stoked to ... not a pun... I'm so pumped to... damn it!
I've never tried HCB because of where I tend to start building but this... THIS! is going to be awesome.
I'm assuming that water placed by buckets before the update will not change when updated to 4.10, giving some time to edit the builds accordingly.
Looks great FC, ty.

For my sanity, can someone verify that the option to disable hardcore chests in the config file works properly on a server?

Re: New Release! (BTW V4.10)
Note for server operators: I just replaced the download link above with a 'b' version of 4.10.
The only difference between this and the previous version is a semi-colon I mistakingly left at the end of the option to disable hardcore chests in the config file. If you've already downloaded the old version, you can just delete that semi-colon to get the option to work properly.
Everybody else can ignore this, as this option only affects servers. You can also ignore my question above about the option, as I figured it out myself ;)
