1.8 IC² soon

As the other techmods are updating, we aim to release a 1.8 version around weekend.

However, as SMP is still in intensive testing, it will probably be the client, only.

    hell yeah that’s awesome news but what are you going to do about canned food since all food does stack now?

    • Zarrab says:

      Indeed, trying to come up with some other benefit of canned food would be nice =)

      • Adien says:

        Canned food (As it is in the last test build that I was messing with them) Refills 1 heart, instead of one hunger. Think of them as MREs. Sustainable, but not very filling.

  2. muCkk says:

    That are great news :). Thanks for your hard work!

  3. Jivix says:

    Hooray! Can’t wait to do some testing and see what you’re up to. Sprinting + quantum suit sprint = lips peeled back at 6x move speed?

    • Selekton99 says:

      Sprinting down an ice passage jumping (2 blocks high) + Quantum suit sprint = Lips peeled back at 12x speed

      • Alblaka says:

        Just to mention it, moving on ice will generally grant unlimited speed acceleration… I once managed to catch up with the chunk loading :3

  4. koi says:

    Indeed great news!
    Can’t wait for miner pump fix and energy-o-mat.

  5. LamentConfig says:

    Yay 😀 I can’t wait to try this out 🙂 Been wanting to play it for a while, but foolishly let my client update itself to 1.8 … d’oh!

  6. Lethos says:

    over 9000 thanks for you :p

  7. Katana says:

    what about MCForge. That isn’t updated yet, so how will you update?

    • Regelneef says:

      As far as I understood from Eloraam, she’s almost finished with 1.8.1 Mineforge conversion (big thnx BTW Eloraam).
      So the IC² boys could be starting when she’s finished.

    • Alblaka says:

      There’s always access to the “current” MCForge build. And that one is updated (though instable) since quite a few days.

      • Halje says:

        Hmm wonder if the new version of buildcraft will be compatible sine it isn’t relying on MCForge at the moment. I can’t play without either mod since they are so awesome together! Btw thanks for making it that way!

  8. Shadow says:

    Awww I was hoping for smp to put it on my private server that my friends and I play on >_< I loved the first version of the mod

  9. Noah says:

    AWESOME!!! Can’t wait!! 😀

  10. Therian says:

    Good to hear it, shame it wasn’t last weekend as currently I am sick as a dog and would have had 4 extra days to play it 🙂

  11. Weissbart says:

    Will it be just a 1.8 port or also contain some fixes? If second, will there be a 1.7.3 update? I prefer to play this version, it’s in my point of view the best one.

  12. Blaide555 says:

    Awesome. have been waiting for it.
    because i like the villages<.. but not necessarily the 1.9 pre release villagers

  13. Kamilo says:

    My face when IC2 for 1.8 is coming soon http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P3ALwKeSEYs

    Thank you very much, I can’t play without this mod. Minecraft without IC is boring 🙂

  14. CreeperLurker says:

    I know you guys are swamped right now, and thank you for all the hard work…. now for the proverbial “but”…… but early on there was fairly certain talk about a “world converter” of some sort? Is that still on the “to do” list? Or has it been abandoned? Thanks for any info. And cheers on all the progress! 😉

    • Adien says:

      You should creep and lurk the IC forums add on section more closely. ;P

      http://forum.industrial-craft.net/index.php?page=Thread&threadID=1142

      I have not used it myself, but from everyone else’s responses, it works quite well.

      • CreeperLurker says:

        Shame on me for improper lurking and creeping behavior! 🙁 Cheers to you for pointing the blind in the right direction! 😉 Now we can only hope for a server converter version as soon as can be managed by the overworked and underappreciated developers! Thanks again for all the hard work guys. Back to my hole now. 😉

        • muCkk says:

          What do you mean by server converter? The map is the same for singleplayer and multiplayer if you thought of that.

          • Nerox says:

            Not 100%
            “The converter will not work on SMP worlds due to differences in the way the game stores player data (in level.dat for SSP, in a players folder for SMP). An updated version supporting multiplayer will be released when IC2 supports it.”

  15. GrandKaiser says:

    I sent you a 100 Euro incentive last night to get SMP ready over the weekend.

    • Megadeath says:

      Thanks dude, I’d push some donates but right now I can barely foot the power bill.

    • melis256 says:

      That probably won’t happen -_-
      Tho it will indeed help Alblaka in the long run, he will most likely call you crazy in his next blog post.

    • Alblaka says:

      Yes, and i nearly dropped backwards out of my chair.
      Wth you got that much money from ^^’ I would have never imagined somebody would spend 10times the money for a mod as a donation, compared to the original game’s price.

      • Pokenar says:

        I see it as vanilla is just a base, while it is required, mods in-hence it greatly, and can thus be seen as worth more depending on how much they add, large mods like this, buildcraft, BTW, Aether, all those are huge mods i would donate to them (and this) if i had money to spare.

      • GrandKaiser says:

        I keep refreshing the page. Been doing so for hours.

  16. muCkk says:

    @Nerox (can’t click reply oO)
    I didn’t know it also converts the player data, I thought it just uses the world files.

  17. zgrillo2004 says:

    Good to hear. take yer time

  18. Selenite says:

    So yeah…I just bought a 10 slot server for personal use, and I can’t wait to use IC2 SMP.

  19. FD says:

    can wait to put my hands on it, im trying to make it work in 1.7.3 but i ended up watching all the 12 episodes of xkillerbees, anyway, hope see it soon 😀

    • Alblaka says:

      12 allready? Damn, didn’t saw any past the first 3 XD

    • FD says:

      men this wait is killing me! killing me men! i managed to make everything worked on 1.7.3 last night, except the energy for buildcraft, so i said BALLS TO IT! and installed back 1.8, now i have mod loader, too many, and buildcraft waiting for you master of the IC2 😀

  20. Blaide555 says:

    Definately wanting a 1.8 right now.. along with red power..

    • Blox says:

      I really can’t wait for this and RedPower to be released… Hopefully both at the same time so I use my old IC2 world right away…

  21. CyberJacob says:

    am I the only one who keeps refreshing this page to see if it’s released yet?

    • muCkk says:

      No.
      F5 F5 F5

      • RD says:

        Agreed. I’ve got it RSS subscribed and have still been F5’ing all weekend.

        • KART35 says:

          Rss subscribed and a rather loud notification whenever something new pops up. As in, my phones piercing e-mail alert sound.

    • Tonkan says:

      You most definitely isn’t the only one. 🙂
      I can’t be bothered to play minecraft atm when I know that IC2 is just around the corner I’ll just wait for it, and minecraft isn’t worth playing without it. 😉

  22. Fixedi says:

    soo loong been waiting…. F5 F5 F5…

  23. myrrlyn says:

    so THIS is what it feels like when you’re drug supply is cut off…

  24. kick32 says:

    cant wait pushed this mod off using in 1.7 cant wait for 1.8 so i can use it again.

  25. Pokenar says:

    I find this with equivalent exchange makes geothermal generators INCREDIBLE, because of how easy it is to make lava cells with it, also, i get the feeling that once you get the 1.8 version out, 1.9 will have a full release…

  26. Halje says:

    Patience is a virtue people, I’m sticking with 1.7.3 until the IC2 team get this stable. I didn’t play 1.8.1 so I don’t know what I am missing. Alblaka, you and your team keep up the excellent work!

  27. Greencomet says:

    I’m thinking about getting back into MC. I’ve taken quiet a break from it now. Anyway, I’m tempted to start a new world, Should I roll back and use or the 1.7.3 content or wait for the new IC2 update. If I were to roll back and then update eventually would the new MC things like ravines and the other features load beyond where i have discovered.

    Thanks,
    GC

    • Webmilio says:

      Kinda

    • Pokenar says:

      they would, there was a false rumor started by antvenom that they would not work, but they did. i lost trust in antvenom ever since he started spreading those lies.

  28. Rogelio @ Burbank, CA says:

    awesome work on the mod. i really love the mod. its one of the best i tried in minecraft. cant wait for 1.8.1 version. keep up the good work! 😀

  29. tucker says:

    the only big problem with industrial craft is the lack of tophats and an earlier era
    meaning there should be mechanical and then steam powered machines required to process the materials for advanced machines that use electricity
    and tophats are win

  30. Shalashalska says:

    Hmm. What timezone is this weekend in? Because unless it’s in china or something, weekend’s over. Well, at least we can hope for the mod to be updated soon 😀

  31. Kenny85246 says:

    Weekend is over, I can haz 1.8.1 IC2 nao? I really want to play it with the new Buildcradt 2.2.0 release. I swear these mods go hand in hand.

  32. Shalashalska says:

    Darnit, my F5 key broke. Time to spam press CTRL+R. Still waiting though.
