EDIT: please post to say if you're interested ! I think it's a good way to support me and help me to choose a dedicated server which can handle everyone interested.
hi !
I just finished the developpement stage 1 of my minecraft twokinds server.
The server has many mod which are adding a lot of gameplay elements (magic, a lot of mobs).
A launcher is up to install all the mods and let you play without delete or overwrite your current minecraft.
it's still in beta so don't come to play but to test and help ^^. Before open the server to public and remove the beta status (and publish the website which is created but not hosted) i need the twokinds minecraft world map (the only I know is made by lehz but he don't reply after my P.M and e-mail).
A quick list of mods (i can't post the complete list which is very loooooooooooooog and annoying):
ComputerCraft(for administration only) , VanillaShields, Forge, BiblioCraft, RPGInventoryMod, CatapultMod,
TKjeje3030Music, RPGRB, Netherrocks, TwilightForest, MineFantasy, Car
pentersBlocks, RPGMS, RPGPlusPlus, MoCreatures, CustomNpcs(for EPIC RP QUEST AND NPC !), ArsMagica(MAGIC !), DamageIndicatorsMod(mob Health bar), Thaumcraft, SimpleOres, Chisel, MTech_jeje3030_edition(original_version_by_yagoki),
and more... (rei_minimap, mod dismemberrment, .....). (there is 50 mods at all but I'm not sure (I don't have a real list of them because some mod are packed in other xD))
As you can see, there is a custom mod made by me : TKjeje3030Music, it provide server triggered music on the client with automatic musics download from website. I can make other mods(than the ones planned ) if you want.
To test please download: http://jeje3030.legtux.org/TK/bin/launcher.jar (sorry i've forgotten to translate the launcher because i've created it for another server which was french but the buttons are in the same place, it's no hard to understand) . I know there is not a lot of things to do on the server atm, ecxept play with installed mods.... To be operator (and so creative mode) ask me.
And sorry, I've enough money to host the server on a dedicated machine with 20 slots, but not for the beta stage so the server is only up the weekend, wednesday and some day in the evening on my personal computer, so it will be a bit laggy i think(paris, london timezone)
So when it's night for you it's day for me. (I think you live near USA like Tom, if not, it's better for the ping and to talk)
The ip is integrated in the game.
Enjoy the server and if someone can build the map it will be awesome !
Don't worry, you can play but don't forget that your buildings will be erased when the real map will be installed. Just a detail : the twokinds map(so the map where you will spawn) will be locked and nobody will be able to build on this one, but there is the twilight_forest_dimension where you will be able to do that. if you know good mods or better than thes ones here, just say.
DEVELOPPEMENT STAGES :
-[1] Installing mods, fix compatibility issues, create the first custom mod. [DONE]
-[2] Open the server in beta stage, ask for the map, continue to developp the second mod (the main mod which manage species(keidran, basitins, humans) automaticaly, because atm it's manual) [DONE]
-[3] program the last mod which add custom recipies (very simple to make)[DONE], and expend possibilities of RPG inventory mod. (and by the way link this mod to ARS magica to create synthetic mana crystal for example) [DONE]
-[4] get the finished map (adapt existing quests and create new quests) [must build cities,villages...]
-[5] verify the mod pack, open the server to public. [SOON]
if someone can help me, know the java language and minecraftforge modding, just tell me, there is enough work for few persons (of course when the server will be open, you will be grant to admin). Atm if somemone can make a custom recipe mode which allow creating recipes with a command, it will be very appreciated, because I will make it in the dev stage 3 and I'm only in the beginning of stage 2..... But the most important thing I can't make it's the map, a very large and perfect map like lehz's one. ^^
UPDATE: Now you can make bukkit plugins or forge mods !
I hope I've correctly explained, if not just say, I will explain differently.I've a microphone and skype, but I don't want to talk, because I've an horrible english accent, I'm sometime slow to make sentences... (I'm still better in english than my whole class ) But if it's needed I can try..
NEWS : (20/07/2013)
-You can modify and distribute the mod i've created but you can decompile them to learn how it work and then know how to do it yourself.
-Each mod have their own license, please read them.
-Each mod are owned by their author.
-The launcher is not a modpack, it's a complete conversion of minecraft (and please don't steal my work; you can use them on your server with written permission (I'm talking about launcher, customs mods)).
-By playing on this server you accept these license and minecraft's license.
The license is here but you can easly ask me to use my mod and i will answer often yes. And the other mod can be used too, just read their license (i know i said this 1000 times but now you can't forget xD). if one of the mod's authors don't want to his mod be used on this server, i will delete it.
if the server is not up so you can't connect, it's because I sleep(or I'm not at home, it's summer holydays, and I can't stay behind my computer all the holydays ) or I just forget to turn it on. Sent me a message on my skype account (jeje3030) or on this post to remember me.
It's the biggest post I've ever written !
The team:
-Me.
-but may be you soon. ^^
Thanks for reading and for [INSERT THINGS YOU HAVE DONE] !
