While walking i thought about a little idea, dakka dakka is filled with smart, techy minds, you being one. AND theres no good, deep minecraft 40k mod out there at the moment. so how about I assemble a team and make one,does anyone have an idea how to code a mod in minecraft? if so, we need you! heres some ides for the mod;

basic imperium stuff:
-make promethium for fuel, made with putting lava in a furnace and smelting it
-make a mechancum table, the main tool in this mod, power it with promethium
next:
-find a STC, similar to discoveries in thaumcraft they allow you to make the stuff, find as loot in dungeons
-build power armour and a bolter

intermediate:
-find an ork/enemy fort
-raid fort for more STCs
-arm yourself quite a bit
-find a titan......

a titan is like an abonded on from 40k, they avry in class but the bigger the more loot. they have bosses like chaos lords or ork warbosses.

expert:
-fight through a titan
-loot
-kill boss, take advanced STC, used for VERY high level stuff. like land raiders!
-make mechanicus armour, use this to build bigger stuff like tanks and vehicles. make them by like a coke oven or a blast furnace in railcraft

ENDGAME
-make support signal, it spawns allies
-invade biomes with a conquerer flag
-orbitally bombard areas with a battle barge
-make artifects
-build forts for your allies
-burn the heretics

what else could be endgame in this???

so, what do you think, could we assemble a good enough team? are you in, with enough dedication i truelly believe we could do this!

your in! any other ideas for it?

@matapata i know, but the imperium will be the first, then chaos then orks, then tau and so on.

@thenoobbomb agreed we need omeone with java experience, im sure someone on a site with thousands knows advanced java

People do realise, I can't code. I'm looking for a head coder and a few other guys. Playtesters will be needed once we have a form of playable mod. If you know any body that can help call in a favour from them please. On the forge/modloader situation it'll be up to the coder.

I think your best bet to get a coder on board would be to create the pseudo code and maybe even some flowcharts as to how you want everything to work in game. This means you can show them exactly what you want them to do and it will give them a better idea as to what they are letting themselves in for.

Sorry but my English isn't that good, could someone explain?

I don't think I'll be able to do that, could someone volunteer to write the pseudo code, we can talk using PMs about the specifics.

Wow, were gaining quite a team on this one!
So heres the list so far

Pseudo coders-ihatenids
-psychadelicmime

Textures-psychadelicmime

Playtesters-matapata98
-noobbomb

So far this seems like it's getting off to a good start!

And yes, there bs devastator weapons among tens of STCs

Also, TDA, Im also down for Playtester

agreed, i know this will take ages, but its something i am willing to work hard on. i know how to code, just not in java. im decent in HTML and GML, but thats all

Perhaps start with reskins and custom maps.

reskins? sorry but what are those.

also i think we should start small, and have a base mod we can start off on so thats why i think we should start the easy things first

Psychedelic, could you make a texture pack for your ideas. And don't use adfly, too many viruses.

I want to make a mod because we can add so much more stuff and have them purpose built.

Sure!

well the texture pack a guy was working is no longer in production for reasons I forget, but if anyone else wants to help make the texture pack be my guest

gladly! I compiled a list of stuff ill get it!

ork for zombie sounds cool,
Spider could be tyranid
Half the size of a creeper and make a squig
Skeleton could be a chaos marine
wither skeleton good be chaos lord
wither king as daemon prince
zombie pigmen as cultitsts
No idea what other mobs could be, but villagers could be servitors

Crafting table could be red and have the mechanicum seal
Bow could be bolter
Golem could make a dreadnought

For swords,
Wood=combat knife
Stone=chainsword
iron=power sword
Gold=Crozius arcanum
Diamond= force glaive

Armour,
Leather=power (weak bit for good reasons I'll explain later)
Iron=artificer armour
Gold=chaplain
chainmail=librarian
Diamond=terminator (I'll let you do that, it'll be hard )

Reason I chose leather was mainly so that....

Using dyes you could make different chapters
Black dye=black Templars
Green dye=salamanders
Blue dye=Ultramarines
Red dye=blood angels
Yellow dye=imperial fists
White dye=White scars
Purple dye=night lords
Light grey=iron hands
Dark grey=iron warriors
Cyan dye=alpha legion

and a big thanks to psychadelicmime for helping me with half of these stuff and offering to do the initial texture pack

I don't mind

nice! please don't use mediafire, too many viruses

are you not able to post documents on dakka?

pretty cool! so how much you done so far, and don't worry I know you've only started so I don't expect much to be done

there really nice! except I find the handle and blade of the chain sword to be a bit out-of proportion if you don't mind me saying.

yeah that's really good!

that's really good! but powersword is iron

nice!

I'd like the armour, that'd be cool

I wouldn't like an all neurone cast but I agree with the cave spider, enderman and enderdragon
