July Suggestions

Hello everyone!
I made this topic to share my idea of which mod we can have for next month.

I think it might be nice to have Sim-U-Kraft and Morph Beta together. ^^

Hmm, if we go with that, I'd suggest a third mod to make use of the morph mod.  Mo Creatures is always a good compliment to that, although granted we wont use development versions this time (to avoid crashing issues with those tree creatures like last time). XD

Morph's mod tends to glitch with the smaller or bigger creatures [mainly birds & bats] but I have used it with the monster girl mod and it worked great with it. Most of the monsters are player sized so the hit box glitch was barely noticeable.

Okay, so there was an issue with a few Pixelmon refugees, and the prospect of pairing Sim-u-Kraft with Pixelmon.  While the two mods do work (albeit the 1.7.10 version), the bad news is that Pixelmon impairs the ability of the Sim-u-Kraft mod to work properly by it completely undermining vanilla Minecraft (which Sim-u-Kraft is designed to enhance).  

Therefore, we sadly cannot accommodate the Pixelmon refugees until the August flavor, when we'll be able to carry over to a new mod, preferably Pixelmon for Minecraft 1.8 by itself.

For the July Flavor, which I hope to launch tonight or tomorrow perhaps, we expect to move forward with Hannah's proposal of:

- Sim-U-Kraft
- Morph Mod
- Mo Creatures

Thank you.  ^^

Okay, the initial test of this is set up.  There was a bit of confusion over the mod selection, and in fact the intended mod was supposed to have been MCA, not Sim-u-Kraft (which is singleplayer only), so that's been corrected.

Here's what the final mod list looks like and is currently running on LB:

- CustomMobSpawner 3.3.0
- DrZharks MoCreatures Mod v6.3.1
- iChunUtil-4.2.2
- MCA-5.0.6-1.7.10-universal
- Morph-Beta-0.9.1
- MoVillages-1.3.1
- RadixCore-2.0.2-1.7.10-universal

CMS, IChun and Radix are just dependency files to make everything else work -- otherwise, MCA, Mo Creatures and Mo Villages make up the bulk of the mod selection, with Morph mod added as a support mod so we can run around as mice or elephants.  ^^

Had to play around with the mob spawn rates in Mo Creatures to get sea animals and hostile mobs to appear in singleplayer, so hopefully the configuration works here on multiplayer as well.  *fingers crossed*

Anyway, let me know if everything is working fine before I make the official announcement.

I played around a bit on little brother and managed to get a bunch of different morphs

So far no problems ^^ atleast I haven't encountered any

Thank you, Spookie!  ^^

Same here! But when I was trying to launch minecraft, there was a slight error with Java and the only way I could fix that was with the java fixer mod. Other than that, everything is fine and dandy.

Hello! A few players and I were playing around on the server with the Minecraft comes alive mod and were wondering if it would be possible to add the doctor crayfish furniture mod. We could make realistic decorated houses for the npc's and families!

Don't know if it would work 100% with the morph mod though

Hi!  Well Hannah the grand monthly mod would have the final say, but that sounds cool.  I was also going to suggest adding the Chocolate Quest mod to give people something interesting to do, and to research new potential imports for the server. ^^

Oooh, I've used that mod before. It certainly would be awesome to add to the modlist. I approve. ^^

Woohoo!  I  though you approve the furniture mod or the Chocolate Quest or both?  ^^

We should try both first, and if one doesn't work than we can have the other - or if both work then both. ^^

Woohoo!!!  I'll do the testing later.  Try not to explore too much so dungeons can spawn in unloaded chunks later. ^^

Hehe, we haven't all gone far out yet.

And done!  Please be advised, the following TWO NEW ADDITIONS have been added to Little Brother:

- chocolateQuest-1.7.10-1.0
- MrCrayfishFurnitureModv3.4.7(1.7.10)

Remember, we're still in beta phase, so no official announcement has been made yet.  Just basically test and let me know if everything works before I officially unveil the July flavor. ^^

Thank you!  ^^

Okay, so since things have been going relatively well with this flavor testing, I guess I'll officially announce this tonight.  Yay!  ^^

Hey everyone, were wondering whether to extend this months flavour or not. I heard some of you want Pixelmon for the next mod but I haven't heard anything about it lately. What do you want to do?

I vote to extend it. I haven't been well enough to check it out yet and I want to have the chance to. >.<

I'm all for a 2nd month, but my computer isn't... one sec, let me check the manual

Okay, I think we will keep LB on for one more week, and then we officially close this flavor, and in fact the entire flavor system in general.  I want to use next week for testing out LB with the new modifications for the upcoming parallel server.  ^^

Okay, and tomorrow is essentially the last day of Little Brother as we know it today, so please go ahead and wrap things up.  We had a great run, and I hope the Parallel server will offer new opportunities to continue the fun once more.  ^^

Speaking of which, the next step will be to try and load a test world of the Parallel server with at least Spawnington added in as a good test sample.

ugh, never mind, today was filled with too many IRL twists and turns to even begin the move to the Parallel server, so I will keep LB on a bit longer. I may just decide to keep it on until the end of August, that way I can make sure everything is up and running offline before I load it on the server.

So if you like MCA and Chocolate Dungeons... you can keep playing it a little longer. ^^
