Welcome to the wiki

 * Ambox_notice.png When creating pages, please ensure that you add the page to categories that are relevant to it. A list of categories can be found here.
 * Ambox_notice.png Hello and welcome to the Official Feed the Beast Wiki. When you create pages on this wiki, please be sure to add Langbar to to bottom of the page. The langbar allows easy access to translated versions of the article and must be included on every page. Thank you.

Hello and welcome to the official FTB wiki, the team and I consider your edits quality but with a few flaws. All articles have a standard layout which you can read about on the Article creation guideline page, articles you created lacks a langbar at the bottom and isn't properly categorized. We also have various navigation box templates that will assist readers to navigate around relevant articles, we highly suggest such templates to be included at the bottom of articles and hope that you would do so too. Thank you for your contributions to the wiki. --  Jin bo  bo  = Wiki Team Lead =  16:47, 22 August 2013 (BST)

verification/authorization
How does one go about becoming 'authorized', so my documentation does not have to be reviewed? -- Warlordjones (talk) 20:22, 17 April 2014 (BST)
 * AFAIK (and remember, I'm the wiki team newb) it stays like that until you get promoted to a higher rank on here. What those ranks are, I don't know though. Someone correct me if I'm wrong though. -- Padfoote (talk) 20:25, 17 April 2014 (BST)
 * Ah, ok, no worries. Just didn't want to keep bothering you guys to authorize my work. :) -- Warlordjones (talk) 21:04, 17 April 2014 (BST)
 * I check the recent changes constantly and will approve anything I know is correct. Anything else and I leave it for someone else to check. :P -- Padfoote (talk) 22:18, 17 April 2014 (BST)
 * To have your edits automatically reviewed, you need to be an "Autoconfirmed user". How you achieve that, I don't remember. I think it's something like 50 reviewed edits, but I could be wrong. --  Satanic Santa SysOp•talk 02:05, 18 April 2014 (BST)
 * I see, thanks --Warlordjones (talk) 08:35, 18 April 2014 (BST)
 * They way the review system works is that when a user makes an edit in the main, project and template namespaces, those edits will be marked for reviewing by reviewers and editors. If the page has at least one reviewed version of the page, then that version will be displayed for non-users, otherwise the latest version is always displayed. The review list is currently backed up to February 25th. The following is the default criteria for being autopromoted to an "Editor", they have the autochecked right and will automatically approve any edits they make, they can also review edits. I might tweak this setting in the future and make it more restrictive. --  Jin bo  bo  10:20, 18 April 2014 (BST)

Cg question
So I'm about to get started with some of the alchemy in Blood Magic, which requires a crafting template that we currently don't have. Do you know how to create one, and if so, what do you need me to do to help with it? -- Padfoote (talk) 01:30, 22 May 2014 (BST)

Template shifting upon editing a page.
Hi, as you know I'm not familiar with the wiki that much, though I'm trying to watch some tutorials. Anyway, whenever I edit a page the template on the right always centers itself in the middle of the page, causing the text to go around it. This looks quite ugly and I don't understand how this happens. When it is reviewed Jin or you seem to fix it somehow? Thanks, --RealSketch (talk) 21:06, 25 May 2014 (BST)RealSketch
 * Are you talking about the infobox? And can you provide a link to an example for me to take a look at? -- Padfoote (talk) 21:10, 25 May 2014 (BST)

Yeah, the infobox. Have a look at this: http://wiki.feed-the-beast.com/ExtrabiomesXL --RealSketch (talk) 21:27, 25 May 2014 (BST)RealSketch
 * It looks like it's on the right side to me. -- Padfoote (talk) 21:28, 25 May 2014 (BST)

Sorry to bother you, it was just a one time thing that happens upon editing, refreshing the page set it back to normal. As I said, I'm not used to Wikis or their markup. :( --RealSketch (talk) 21:31, 25 May 2014 (BST)RealSketch
 * Don't worry about it. Things can be a little buggy sometimes. -- Padfoote (talk) 21:32, 25 May 2014 (BST)


 * Which "preview" option are you using? There is the Preview button on the top of the source edit box, next to the Wikitext tab, which will not show template info (crafting tables appear empty, etc). There is also the "show preview" button next to the "save changes" button, which should show you all of the correct stuff. Also, don't apologize for asking questions, I'm fine with answering all of the ones you have :P --  Satanic Santa Admin • Editor  21:35, 25 May 2014 (BST)

On the current page I was editing I forgot to preview it, my mind just went straight to clicking save. After it was saved, the infobox would appear in the center on the page, but after a refresh of the page it would go back to normal. Also, another question. Both of you are obviously good at Wiki editing, may I ask where/how you learnt all this markup? --RealSketch (talk) 21:47, 25 May 2014 (BST)RealSketch
 * 1. Okay, so it seems like the problem isn't really a problem, just a weird wiki hiccup? 2. Read some of the stuff linked in my talk archive, namely the stuff prior to joining the team. I also read the source for a lot of reviewed pages. I'm not gonna lie, I have a folder in my Wiki folder titled "Page Structures", where I keep layouts of the different types of common pages. I tend to just open one, copy all of it, then paste it into the redlink-edit page :P If you wanted, I could dropbox this folder so others could have it. --  Satanic Santa Admin • Editor  21:51, 25 May 2014 (BST)


 * RealSketch, I learned everything from looking at the Railcraft pages, and from the 10 or so links Santa sent me before I started doing edits. Feel free to drop by IRC, PM one of us, or stop by our talk pages if you have questions. -- Padfoote (talk) 22:00, 25 May 2014 (BST)

I sure wouldn't mind looking at it, could be quite useful. :) --RealSketch (talk) 21:54, 25 May 2014 (BST)RealSketch

Thaumcraft 4 tilesheet
Here are all the icons for the Thaumcraft 4 item however there are some naming difficulties since some of the items use colons in their name and Windows won't allow it in the file name. They are all in 32x32 format and can be found here. -- Madmanmayson (talk) 8:05, 26 May 2014 (BST)

Translating pages not visible in translation interface?
Hello, I was wondering if there is a best way to translate the "single-item-related" pages on the wiki (such as the http://wiki.feed-the-beast.com/Redstone_Engine page) than to simply edit a new nameOfEnglishPage\fr page, since there is no category for this in the translation interface (those pages are maybe not marked for translation)? Is it just a MediaWiki lacking feature, or is it intended? I now take care of this since my translations are filled with links that leads nowhere. Have a nice day! -- Luxim (talk) 19:07, 14 June 2014 (BST)
 * I don't understand what you are asking. Are you asking what you are to do when you are linking to other pages? --  Satanic Santa Admin • Editor  21:39, 14 June 2014 (BST)
 * Sorry, I think I've been unclear. For example, you use the translation interface to translate a page, let's name it A. When you translate a link of the page A, in the page A/fr, the MediaWiki system automatically turn links that point to a page X into links pointing to a page X/fr. That looks like a great feature, but sometime X/fr don't exists yet (X has not been translated yet), and the page X is not listed in the translation interface, so there is no way to translate it later, excepts by manually creating a page named X/fr and pasting the source code of X, then translating it. That's clearly not convenient, and I was thus wondering if there is something we could do to ease this process. -- Luxim (talk) 21:15, 15 June 2014 (BST)


 * I'm still learning the translation extension, so correct me if I'm wrong about what you are saying. Here's what I understand

--  Satanic Santa Admin • Editor  22:53, 15 June 2014 (BST)
 * 1) Translate page A
 * 2) There's a link in page A that leads to page B
 * 3) Page B exists, but page B/languagecode doesn't exist
 * 4) Appears as a red link
 * 5) Page B has not been marked for translation <-- Is this the problem?
 * Yes, exactly! And when you have something in page A like "see page B for the detailed explanation", it's quite annoying to be unable to translate the page you want. Is there any way to get around this? -- Luxim (talk) 12:56, 17 June 2014 (BST)
 * Well, couldn't you go to B rather than B/fr, and see if it is marked for translation? I'm gonna mark a bunch of pages for translation one of these days, with, of course, so hopefully this problem won't be too bad? --  Satanic Santa Admin • Editor  18:58, 17 June 2014 (BST)
 *  Feed the translator  Ok! (Unfortunately, I can't change how links behaves in translations, the links destination is fully handled by the translation extension; if I write it turns into a link to the A/fr page automatically, I don't think there is a way to alter this behavior...) -- LuximStaff • Translator • Talk • Contributions 20:55, 17 June 2014 (BST)

IC2 Texture Request
Can I have the IC2 textures (http://www.mediafire.com/download/br31do12n3gqinm/IC2_Textures.zip) Turned into a sprite sheet so the Navbox isn't just all red squares? Chocohead (talk)

The blocks haven't been done correctly. You need to get the from NEI or your inventory. Just screenshot your inventory and crop the image down until you can only see the item, it should be 32x32 pixels.:) Don't fear, I did the exact same thing as you.--RealSketch (talk) 22:31, 17 June 2014 (BST)RealSketch
 * No you didn't :P You took gigantic in-world screenshots and (somehow had the patience to) remove the background. As Real said, you need to take the screenshots from in your inventory for the blocks, so they render like they would in-game. I've found that the Normal GUI scale is great for this, because it gives me a 32x32 image for each tile. --  Satanic Santa Admin • Editor  22:52, 17 June 2014 (BST)

...Gimp is very good for editing images. It didn't take me long.:P Anyway, I recommend Gimp for creating tiles. --RealSketch (talk) 23:03, 17 June 2014 (BST)RealSketch

Are the items ok though? Do I remove the background of the inventory off the block textures and split them into separate images too? Chocohead (talk) 15:54, 18 June 2014 (BST)
 * Only if the file in the assets folder looks different in the inventory. Also, you need to name them as exactly what they are in-game, currently you have them as unlocalized names. --  Satanic Santa Admin • Editor  15:59, 18 June 2014 (BST)

Will do. One more thing: do I just screenshot my inventory with all the blocks then, or split them up and remove the background? Chocohead (talk) 16:50, 18 June 2014 (BST)
 * Screenshot of NEI, then split the blocks up. -- Padfoote Staff • Talk • Contributions 17:13, 18 June 2014 (BST)

Do I leave the background they have then? Chocohead (talk) 17:32, 18 June 2014 (BST)
 * Nope. You want just the block. -- Padfoote Staff • Talk • Contributions 17:33, 18 June 2014 (BST)

IC2's ore textures are very hard to separate. This will take a long time :( Chocohead (talk) 17:37, 18 June 2014 (BST)
 * If you are using Photoshop I highly recommend making brushes for block shapes that appear a lot. --  Satanic Santa Admin • Editor  18:06, 18 June 2014 (BST)

...Or if you are using Gimp (/is better) then you have a colour selector, magic wand and other useful tools. Plus, I find Gimp more user-friendly, and the best part: it's free. You just need to zoom in and crop everything except the 32x32 pixel area of the item. Then export as PNG with (as Santa said), the exact name of the item/block. --RealSketch (talk) 18:44, 18 June 2014 (BST)RealSketch
 * Hmmmmmmm, 86 block textures needed 30 down. I'm getting there. Chocohead (talk) 18:51, 18 June 2014 (BST)

 * Yes. I'll get started on it ASAP. --  Satanic Santa Admin • Editor  18:30, 20 June 2014 (BST)
 * Hurray! I'd miss those red squares, but they're everywhere on the wiki, and I'd rather have the item there. So I won't.  Chocohead Nag • Contributions 18:47, 20 June 2014 (BST)

Just realised, I missed a texture! Considering I didn't even know it existed an hour ago either. https://www.mediafire.com/?080snf3i7j7wlqo <- Link to it  Chocohead Nag • Contributions 23:00, 21 June 2014 (BST) Once you've added the textures, will they automatically go to all the items, or is there some voodoo wiki magic needed to make it work?  Chocohead Nag • Contributions 20:00, 22 June 2014 (BST)
 * They should just work like magic, unless the linked names are different than the tile names, which someone will have to alert me to because I won't be checking it. You also may need to hard refresh a few times for it to appear proper. --  SatanicSanta Talk • Contribs 20:01, 22 June 2014 (BST)

Ok, I'll look for any that don't work once they're up, although I checked them in the zip.  Chocohead Nag • Contributions 20:09, 22 June 2014 (BST)


 * Hey Santa, while we're on the topic, can you or reptep figure out what's wrong with these Centrifuge tiles.
 * I've tried but I really don't know, it seems there's some conflict with Forestry? This issue also affects my guide on AG.

 * Once they're uploaded the name can be changed.
 * EDIT: Done. :)
 * -- RealSketch •Staff •Talk •Contributions  17:30, 1 July 2014 (BST)


 * Can you just upload more textures to the sheet without needing to do the entire thing though? There are like 10 things I need/want to add.  Chocohead Nag • Additions  17:33, 1 July 2014 (BST)
 * I have to upload the entire picture again, but only the new tiles need to be added. It's very easy to update things, and a PITA to create new large sheets. --  SatanicSanta Talk • Contribs •Admin 18:07, 1 July 2014 (BST)
 * It is only a PITA when you are building the texture sheet by hand like some sort of neanderthal. A smart person would use a program to automate the assembling of tilesheets.  R e t e p 9 9 8 Bunny Overlord•talk•contribs 14:20, 2 July 2014 (BST)

translations
You prepare pages for translations by:
 * surrounding text to translate with the translate tag.
 * If the page is a template or is expected to be transcluded onto other pages, wrap the translate tag with the noinclude tag.
 * adding to the name of templates and categories.
 * changing normal links to L.
 * making sure the page is complete and is not subject to change in the near future.
 * cleaning up any formatting errors.
 * append the langbar to the page.

If you guys have altered any of those rules, you guys did not update the translation guide and did not fix old translatable pages. --  Jin bo  bo  16:11, 24 June 2014 (BST)

 * Care to define "reference"? I asked this over on the forums, but an explanation as to what you want would be nice to have. -- Padfoote Staff • Talk • Contributions 03:57, 2 July 2014 (BST)
 * I don't understand why you are asking me for permission to document something on the FTB Launcher. --  SatanicSanta Talk • Contribs •Admin 20:38, 2 July 2014 (BST)

Template Help
Both the canning machine's template (Template:Cg/Canning Machine) and the ore washing plant's (Template:Cg/Ore Washing Plant) are outdated and therefore wrong and unusable. Can you fix it, or tell me what to do to get them fixed? :)  Chocohead Nag • Additions  19:47, 2 July 2014 (BST)
 * What's outdated? The slots? The image? --  SatanicSanta Talk • Contribs •Admin 20:37, 2 July 2014 (BST)


 * The image (and therefore slots) for both. Especially the canning machine. The Ore Washing Plant is just missing a third output slot  Chocohead Nag • Additions  21:04, 2 July 2014 (BST)
 * If you get me an updated GUI image and tell me what each slot does, I'll update it. --  SatanicSanta Talk • Contribs •Admin 21:11, 2 July 2014 (BST)
 * GUI from in game right? Should I crop the rest of my inventory off, or will you do that?  Chocohead Nag • Additions  21:17, 2 July 2014 (BST)
 * Get it from the assets folder. --  SatanicSanta Talk • Contribs •Admin 21:19, 2 July 2014 (BST)


 * Here we go:


 * Ore Washing Plant: http://imgur.com/pXhQ1gh
 * Canning Machine - it is called Solid Canner in the game files and code, yet is called Canning Machine in game (just to confuse us :D): http://imgur.com/loL2Ef7
 * Bottling Plant - might get confused with Forestry's, but don't think Forestry's is uploaded: http://imgur.com/5vrsx5S
 * Canning Machine - very complicated, as the GUI arrows change, not just the rectangle selector: http://imgur.com/QbP81Ct
 * Here's a link to the pictures in game (which I happen to have lying around, so that you can see what they normally look like ;) http://imgur.com/a/D9i5J
 *  Chocohead Nag • Additions  21:37, 2 July 2014 (BST)
 * What do the slots for each machine do? Also, you listed Canning Machine twice? --  SatanicSanta Talk • Contribs •Admin 02:29, 3 July 2014 (BST)


 * 2 Canning Machines because there are 2 in the game, since Thunderdark likes to confuse you. As for the other things:


 * The Ore Washing Plant just has 1 more output slot (next to the other two). That is the only difference.


 * For the first Canning Machine (called the Solid Canner in the assets folder, but Canning Machine in game):
 * The left slot is for items to be canned
 * The middle slot is for cells/fuel rods to have the items canned into
 * The right slot is for the outputted item
 * The slot underneath the energy icon is for batteries


 * For the Bottling Plant:
 * The top slot going into the tank is input for filled cells
 * The bottom slot going into the tank is the input for empty cells
 * The slot coming out of the tank is for the outputted full cells
 * The tank stores liquid that either taken either from cells or pumped in
 * The slot underneath the energy icon is for batteries


 * For the (other) Canning Machine - Look here http://imgur.com/a/D9i5J to see different uses
 * Fluid Enrich:
 * The top left slot is for items to be canned into (CF Backpack or CF Sprayer for example)
 * The middle slot is the item to be enriched
 * The left tank is the fluid to be enriched
 * The right slot is for items which are full (eg: A full CF Backpack, or CF Sprayer)
 * The right tank is for the enriched fluid (which didn't fit in an item or the item was full)
 * Fill Cell From Tank Mode:
 * The top left slot is for cells to be filled
 * The middle slot is unavailable
 * The left tank is the fluid to be filled into a cell
 * The right slot is for cells which are full
 * The right tank is unused
 * Drain From Cell Into Tank Mode:
 * The top left slot is for cells to be drained
 * The middle slot is unavailable
 * The left tank is unused
 * The right slot is for emptied items
 * The right tank is for the emptied fluid
 * Canning Mode:
 * The top left slot is for cells or fuel rods to be canned into
 * The middle slot is for items to be canned
 * The left tank is unused
 * The right slot is for canned items
 * The right tank is unused
 * The slot underneath the energy icon is for batteries

have fun updating the ore washing plant template --  Jin bo  bo  04:18, 4 July 2014 (BST)

Here you go! http://www.filedropper.com/showdownload.php/advancedgenetics172 Apologies for the Heal Crystal, it is animated and is quite hard to tile. -- RealSketch •Staff •Talk •Contributions  20:49, 2 July 2014 (BST)

Thanks for clarifying
Hi SS, Thanks for the message. I was trying to use the images I had uploaded as banners for a WIP Magical Crops mod page, but I didn't know what I was doing, so I messed that up, sorry. Just please delete anything I screwed up. In the future, I'll do images the way it's meant to be done, if/when I need them. My sandbox: yes, I realized that after I previewed the article's page. I'm going to remove the sandbox page for now, and leave it for testing of a different sort. I found the formatting I needed on one of the Wiki's guide pages, so that's fixed now. In short, I'm still "getting my sea legs" around here. Sorry for not following the guidelines so far, and I'll do my best to stay within them from now on. Thanks for bearing with me.


 * Template:Navbox portals has a bunch of links to various things that you may want to read. Also, use ~ at the end of your messages, as it adds a signature with a link to your talk page, and a timestamp. ~ adds a signature without a timestamp. You can modify your signature in the Preferences page, found at the top of the wiki. --  SatanicSanta Talk • Contribs •Admin 20:51, 5 July 2014 (BST)

Compact Solar Array Textures
I made the Compact Solars textures, can you make a tilesheet for me? :) http://www.mediafire.com/download/er3dcpz9077b8qz/Compact+Solars+Textures.zip  Chocohead Nag • Additions  23:45, 5 July 2014 (BST)
 * Awesome. I was actually gonna do that tonight :P --  SatanicSanta Talk • Contribs •Admin 23:49, 5 July 2014 (BST)
 * It's 6 textures, so really didn't take long :D  Chocohead Nag • Additions  00:00, 6 July 2014 (BST)


 * Lucky, Choco, I just did exactly 350 tiles for Botania...
 * -- RealSketch •Staff •Talk •Contributions  13:27, 6 July 2014 (BST)


 * It's removing the backgrounds that bores me most.  Chocohead Nag • Additions  13:51, 6 July 2014 (BST)


 * I just take the whole screenshot, use the color remover tool to remove the gray background into a transparent background, and then just get the 32x32 tile! :D

clarification on reviewing and patrolling
Pages in the main, file and template namespace needs to be reviewed, consecutive unreviewed edits can be reviewed at once. Pages with no reviewed revisions will display the latest revision, pages with reviewed revisions will display the most latest reviewed revision for anon users. You can tweak this behavior per page with the "Stabilize page" link in the admin toolbox on the right, or per user in the user's preference.

All other pages are under the patrol system. Every single edit must be patrolled, to patrol click the diff link in the pages' history or on the recent changes page. The latest revision will always be displayed.

This is part of the wiki content moderation process, so patrol and review everything when prompted. Do not ask why. --  Jin bo  bo  00:55, 8 July 2014 (BST)
 * I'm not gonna patrol/review something if I can't verify for myself that its correct (right now that's mostly gt/ic2 stuff) --  SatanicSanta Talk • Contribs •Admin 03:32, 8 July 2014 (BST)

Your Mods
Why are they both for 1.6.4? They look really cool and silly, but 1.7.10 is where it's at now :( Also well done for getting featured in Bevolj's latest modded news :)  Chocohead Nag • Additions  21:44, 9 July 2014 (BST)


 * Because kappa... :P
 * That's just Santa, also he probably wants to document everything before updating to the next stable MC version.
 * -- RealSketch •Staff •Talk •Contributions  21:46, 9 July 2014 (BST)


 * Because I'm still playing 1.6.4. I'm gonna update them once I get them working just how I want them. Then, once I get them to 1.7, I'm gonna keep backporting to 1.6.4 until the community has actually moved on.


 * If you want the actual reason, it's because I haven't updated my development environment in like 10 months, and I'm lazy. :P --  SatanicSanta Talk • Contribs •Admin 22:36, 9 July 2014 (BST)

Author Template Question
Are you anticipating to make pages for each mod author? What do you do with mods like IC2 which has something silly like 12 people on the team?  Chocohead Nag • Additions  19:36, 10 July 2014 (BST)
 * Yeah the staff briefly discussed it a short while ago. For something like IC2, just do IndustrialCraft 2 Dev Team or whatever they are called. If people on it make other mods, note that and have them have their own page. --  SatanicSanta Talk • Contribs •Admin 19:38, 10 July 2014 (BST)


 * Only Greg makes another mod, or he's the only one who's keeping one up still. Why don't you link the names from the infobox too?  Chocohead Nag • Additions  19:40, 10 July 2014 (BST)
 * RichardG and ThunderDark have other mods too. I hate links in infoboxes, apart from modpacks and externals. --  SatanicSanta Talk • Contribs •Admin 19:42, 10 July 2014 (BST)


 * Ahhh yes, Misc Peripherals and the original MFFS. Wow, that was a long time ago :D  Chocohead Nag • Additions  19:45, 10 July 2014 (BST)


 * Apparently the "Hidden Section" isn't hidden... :P
 * -- RealSketch •Staff •Talk •Contributions  21:15, 10 July 2014 (BST)


 * Did you not realise? You've got to close your eyes when you look at it :D  Chocohead Nag • Additions  21:26, 10 July 2014 (BST)


 * Lol, I'm thinking of having my talk page as "Sketch" in my signature? Just like Santa did before...

IC2 Textures
Good news! Yes, the IC2 tilesheet textures need updating please, link to them all here: https://www.mediafire.com/?cxm6y0baa6mgu5e Just to clarify, this is all of them, not just the new ones ;) Thanks  Chocohead Nag • Additions  20:39, 11 July 2014 (BST)


 * As great as the textures are, fixing the tilesheet so a Copper Wire isn't a liquid would be nice :P  Chocohead Nag • Additions  15:30, 18 July 2014 (BST)


 * our wiki server is too fucked up to upload the new tile list, you'll just have to be patient. --  SatanicSanta Talk • Contribs •Admin 18:26, 18 July 2014 (BST)


 * OK, how'd it break this time?  Chocohead Nag • Additions  18:29, 18 July 2014 (BST)


 * Jinbobo...
 * -- RealSketch •Staff • Talk   • Contributions  18:32, 18 July 2014 (BST)


 * The same as all the other times. There's something wrong with the server, but we don't know what. -- Padfoote Staff • Talk • Contributions 18:39, 18 July 2014 (BST)

I just tried it again, but only adding the tile lists per 3 lines, and it still didn't work. The problem is the overwriting side of the tilesheet crap, and not the size of it by the looks of it. --  Satanic Santa Contribs •Administrator and Editor 19:58, 20 September 2014 (BST)

Botania - New update tiles.
Here, you go, only two, shouldn't take you long. :) http://www.filedropper.com/botania-gaia -- RealSketch •Staff •Talk •Contributions  09:33, 13 July 2014 (BST)

Also, the new flower. ;) http://www.filedropper.com/btnvinculotus -- RealSketch •Staff •Talk •Contributions  20:09, 15 July 2014 (BST)


 * I'll get to those, along with Choco's IC2 tiles later hopefully maybe. --  SatanicSanta Talk • Contribs •Admin 20:13, 15 July 2014 (BST)


 * I can't upload the tilesheets because Jin allegedly fucked up the server a while ago, and it hasn't been fixed since. --  SatanicSanta Talk • Contribs •Admin 23:49, 17 July 2014 (BST)

Forestry Tilesheet Question
Should I get together the new textures to update the Forestry tilesheet, or is it not worth it (or someone else already has)?  Chocohead Nag • Additions  18:00, 15 July 2014 (BST)
 * Please do it, and include bees and trees. If you want to do Magic Bees, and Binnie's Mods, that'd be awesome too ;) --  SatanicSanta Talk • Contribs •Admin 18:06, 15 July 2014 (BST)


 * Are the bees (and trees) all items (so can be taken out of the Forestry.jar), or do I have to get each individual one out of the game?  Chocohead Nag • Additions  18:18, 15 July 2014 (BST)


 * They are all items, but I'm not sure how they are implemented. If Sengir was clever, he might've made a grey Bee and a grey Tree and just hardcoded the colors in. Check the assets first, and if I'm correct get them from in game, if I'm wrong, get them from the assets. Bee names should be  Bee, and trees should only include the species, not "Sapling" or "Tree". --  SatanicSanta Talk • Contribs •Admin 18:21, 15 July 2014 (BST)


 * From what I can see, it's just a grey texture, meaning I'll have to get every bee and print-screen them. Dang.  Chocohead Nag • Additions  18:26, 15 July 2014 (BST)


 * If you use Photoshop, or another program that has brush functionality, you could just make a brush with the shape of it. --  SatanicSanta Talk • Contribs •Admin 18:27, 15 July 2014 (BST)


 * I don't have to do the butterflies as well do I? Since there's no imprinter for them, so there's no way I can get all of them.  Chocohead Nag • Additions  20:19, 15 July 2014 (BST)


 * I'm not gonna force you, but I'm not gonna stop you ;) --  SatanicSanta Talk • Contribs •Admin 20:21, 15 July 2014 (BST)


 * I don't even know how you breed them :D  Chocohead Nag • Additions  20:46, 15 July 2014 (BST)


 * That would be for the WIP Forestry team to figure out. -- Padfoote Staff • Talk • Contributions 20:58, 15 July 2014 (BST)


 * We have one of those now? I thought they all left/disappeared.  Chocohead Nag • Additions  21:12, 15 July 2014 (BST)


 * Not yet, it's being worked on. --  SatanicSanta Talk • Contribs •Admin 21:17, 15 July 2014 (BST)


 * I like bees... *Santa's Crickets*
 * -- RealSketch •Staff •Talk •Contributions  21:14, 15 July 2014 (BST)


 * Once/If I make the Forestry textures, what order will you make them in (with IC2 and Botania's too)?  Chocohead Nag • Additions  21:21, 15 July 2014 (BST)


 * -- RealSketch •Staff •Talk •Contributions  21:26, 15 July 2014 (BST)
 * -- RealSketch •Staff •Talk •Contributions  21:26, 15 July 2014 (BST)


 * If he's making it third, then there's no rush for me. But if he wants them done first I'll have to work faster.  Chocohead Nag • Additions  21:35, 15 July 2014 (BST)


 * Botania -> IC2 -> Forestry, unless User:Retep998 does 'em before me. --  SatanicSanta Talk • Contribs •Admin 21:38, 15 July 2014 (BST)


 * Over 400 blocks and other items that must be screenshot'd, and cropped. AKA over 44 chest rows. Your Botania tiles not looking as bad now? Any tips to mass crop them into 32 x 32 squares?  Chocohead Nag • Additions  21:49, 15 July 2014 (BST)
 * For GregTech I wrote a program that would take a screenshot of blocks from NEI and extract out the blocks based on a mask.  R e t e p 9 9 8 Bunny Overlord•talk•contribs 22:02, 15 July 2014 (BST)


 * I done did done it: https://www.mediafire.com/?do8t6kabnnci84y Glad I wrote a Python script to break the textures up for me, would have taken days otherwise ;)  Chocohead Nag • Additions  22:13, 16 July 2014 (BST)
