Why I am balancing around TiC

<Mortvana> Because Zombie lag and 1.8?
<Banjooie> ...1.8 seems pretty cool to me
<mDiyo> They did fix the zombie lag in 1.7 iirc
<mDiyo> Why are you hating on 1.8 already?
<Mortvana> 1.8, the version were TiC looks like hardcore :)
<Mortvana> :P
<mDiyo> Yeah, in 1.8 TConstruct beocomes a total conversion for tools.
<Mortvana> So that is why I don't like 1.8
<mDiyo> That setting where vanilla tools are nerfed to 1 durablity gets set on by default.
<Mortvana> Yeah, and that setting breaks things

* Mortvana mumbles about negative damage crashing AM2
<mDiyo> There is a value in EntityLivingBase that says how long ago a mob was hit. It's protected though...
<mDiyo> If I can grab that value and put it above 0, I can get both rare drops and exp orbs spawning.
<mDiyo> I can also do that for all types of damage.
<flappy> mDiyo: Woo, rift
<flappy> Rifts are the best fts
* Mortvana is tempted to be like AssChild and stay at one MC version

<flappy> protip: rifts won't eat at least iron blocks
<mDiyo> :V
<flappy> :n
<flappy> :u
<flappy> conversation
<Mortvana> I really don't want to have a split mod, one part for TiC balance, the other for vanilla "balance"
<mDiyo> Explain?
<Mortvana> There for, 1.8 is evil to me

<Mortvana> Because I want my mod balanced, and TiC actually has balance
<flappy> 1.8 ain't a thing yet.
<Mortvana> But mod authors should balance around vanilla
<mDiyo> Eh, balance it any way you like.
<mDiyo> Why should mod authors balance around vanilla?
<Mortvana> Because other mods might not be included
* Johnnyjr100 (~Johnnyjr1@50.32.156.43) has joined
<Kitsyfluff> how does the author know a user won't have the mod onit's own?
<Kitsyfluff> unless it requires other mods as dependencies
<Mortvana> But TiC is a staple now so I feel somewhat better about balancing around it, yet I still don't want to

<Banjooie> ....I wonder how Better Than Wolves is doing
<mDiyo> Mods should craft their own balance.
<mDiyo> If they're meant to be used with other mods, then balance around those other mods.
<mDiyo> If that's no good and you don't like vanilla, set your own balance.
<Mortvana> And really the only ones without TiC are the ones who think it is OP, so they would hate MortTech
<Drullkus> lol
<Drullkus> ty Mortvana
<Banjooie> He's still on 1.5
<Banjooie> That's amazing
* Mortvert slaps Mortvana around a bit with a large trout
<Mortvana> So I'll balance around TiC being in I guess
