[005] Q&A session with FlowerChild, about the Forge and Better than Wolves

Today we have a guest star, FlowerChild, maker of Better than Wolves, to answer some question about the recent Forge issue, and why he's dropping it.
He answers 4 questions :
- What's the Forge ?
- Why are you pulling out from it ?
- What does it mean for compatibility ?
- Why BTW is more of a stand-alone mod ?


During the interview, you'll see me build, in super-fast-ninja-mode, my soon to be new base of operation, in which I lure pigs, cows and sheeps, using nothing but my "french charm". True story.

Children, If you like it, use it, if you don't then don't use it. The end. Now can we get on with our lives and see the usual stupid comments rather than a flame war?

[Battosay52]

@SecretRevelation Pure wisdom.

[StreetStar5]

Well atleast him and The Toad got together to make Better Than Buildcraft. But im still not satisfied. Why does he really care if he thinks ELo is "copying" im sure any mods that you added Came from somewhere or did you invent each item in BTW? Everything in BTW has never been done before? You leaving Forge mean you have an ego problem with a female being a good as coder, modders are supposed to influence eachother, not compete.

@StreetStar5 "modders are supposed to influence eachother, not compete"

But when a modder decide to obviously copy your ideas and game designs, the bad guy is the one sayin' "fuck no, I'm out" ?

[CBDiEvAl]

BC and RP allow you to filter any items not because it's simpler and not because it's more powerful. It's to allow you to filter items from other mods.

But BTW filters only items it knows about. And even if other modder wants to make his items filterable by BTW, he can't: it's against BTW copyright. (I tried that myself).

[Battosay52]

@CBDiEvAl There's gonna be a mod API soon, that will allow to add recipe to the cauldron/crucible, filters, etc, easily

[TheBeybladeFTW]

@FlowerChildXL Nothing is more important in a mod than compatibility.

@StreetStar5 stupider is a word, it's been in high reading level books since the 19th century

I wish you could have stayed with the forge api

[Azdoine]

@StreetStar5 So, are you actually going to make arguments for yourself, or are you just going to call me a bitch and a dumbass?

It sounds to me like you can't think of a good response, but don't want to admit it. Now be a grown-up and concede defeat rather than insulting me.

[StreetStar5]

@Azdoine stfu bitch and "stupider" is not even a word, dumbass. lmao

[Azdoine]

@StreetStar5 I also find it humorous that you still have to get the last word in, even though you expect sandy to "get the fuck over it".

What a hypocrite.

[Azdoine]

You make me laugh. You must know that every time you reply, you make yourself sound even stupider. Learn to pick your fights.
