Title: radio mod Post by: Intangir on February 08, 2013, 01:02:36 am im working on a mod which will allow radio beacons and radio chat channels
its been pretty difficult and i had to scrap some of the ideas and now am aiming for a hopefully more viable solution im hoping to have some new elements to add into the game soon hopefully maybe beacons by this weekend if i get some more solid dev time Title: Re: radio mod Post by: Intangir on February 10, 2013, 03:14:39 am oh man im making epic progress on my radio mod lately!
the beacon functionality is nearly done, i might even include it tomorrow Title: Re: radio mod Post by: Hterag on February 10, 2013, 02:03:25 pm Can you give us any additional information? How will the beacons work? Will it be some sort of specific structure that acts like an antenna? Would it be better to put it high up? Could you model it on, say, the spire on my tower? :P
Title: Re: radio mod Post by: Intangir on February 11, 2013, 02:34:02 pm the spire on your tower IS a radio ;) (4 radios actually)
just need to add power and a sign but you shouldnt do it because radios act as beacons and it will lead people to the city Title: Re: radio mod Post by: SavanahMile on February 11, 2013, 09:56:51 pm now Intangir didn't you say they can be triangulated to reveal location, so before you bring it online have a plan so someone can't come right to our city
Title: Re: radio mod Post by: Spanone on February 11, 2013, 09:58:46 pm Maybe Diamond ones can have an option to not reveal the location or something.
Or if that seems too overpowered, maybe you would need like 4-16 diamond block base to have that option. Title: Re: radio mod Post by: Intangir on February 12, 2013, 01:53:14 pm or just dont put a working powered radio ontop of a building in a secret city ;)
they have huge ranges, can put them wherever Title: Re: radio mod Post by: Shaman on February 26, 2013, 10:23:42 pm Hmmm..... So, could the radio work in a way that custom music is played when you enter a certain area? If I build a temple complex, I want to have a recording loop of the sounds at a real temple playing in the background...
Title: Re: radio mod Post by: Intangir on February 26, 2013, 11:41:40 pm no but you can probably rig redstone, a jukebox, and a record to do that already without any mods

no but you can probably rig redstone, a jukebox, and a record to do that already without any mods [/] Redstone to declare the specific area and how do you craft a record? Title: Re: radio mod Post by: Intangir on February 27, 2013, 02:35:52 pm oh i assumed you knew more about the game
youll figure all of this out as you go once you get into it Title: Re: radio mod Post by: Shaman on February 27, 2013, 07:46:32 pm Haha... Before doing research this week, the extent of my knowledge about Minecraft was: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wF3ZotmQ2UY
Title: Re: radio mod Post by: Shaman on March 11, 2013, 02:55:56 pm How do you construct a radio beacon?
