Suggestion: Achievements/Trophies for major Accomplishments

[Teirdalin]

Which modpack version are you using?

2.0.5.1 #

What do you mean later game achievements?

This is a bit pointless of a thing to suggest, but I think later game could use some more achievements for things. Like making the neutronium compressor and getting your first infinity. Making the draconic gear and tools. And numerous other things.

Silly or not, I kind of wish we had achievements / trophies.

@KaneHart sure if you have time code it :) I am not against it but literally haven't the time.

Yeah 100% I can always look into it. Not sure if I could code one, but I do know one the FTB packs had something cool I thought was in 1.7.10, but I will keep my eye out. Something to celebrating Tiers and Big Accomplishments.

I've looked a bit into this because I'd like to have something like trophies implemented aswell. @KaneHart is right, FTB Infinity Evolved Skyblock has custom achievements:

When the player gets one of these achievements they get a trophy aswell:

How it works: The achievements are added via CutomThings. This mod rewards the player with an item upon completing an achievement, in this case a trophy from FTB Trophies. The trophies are defined in the FTBTrophies jar under assets/ftbtrophies/models/FTBTrophies/201604031752_FTBTrophies.json using the models in assets/ftbtrophies/models/FTBTrophies/201604031752_FTBTrophies.cspack. The models are made using CraftStudio. FTB Trophies depends on PTRModelLib to render the trophies which is included in Decocraft (Decocraft is mentioned as required in the @Mod-annotation in FTB Trophies aswell).

What can be done: Adding achievements for major accomplishments isn't hard and could be done without any additional mods (e.g. in GTNH Core). If we want to go a step further and add trophies, there (at least) are these options:

• Make a completely custom implementation for trophies (via GTNH Core or a new mod) Pros: complete control over content and licensing; least amount of bloat Cons: huge amount of work
• Ask RazzleberryFox/LatvianModder for permissions to redistribute modified versions of FTB Trophies. They might be inclined to do so because there is a repository named "FTB-Trophies" owned by the FTBTeam, although it contains only a README. We would be able to remove Decocraft as a hard-dependency and replace the trophy-models. This would require permissions (ask RazzleberryFox/profmobius) to use PTRModelLib outside of Decocraft. For MC1.12.2 PTRModelLib is published seperately on CurseForge and profmobius' maven, so they might be inclined to publish it for 1.7.10 aswell or at least allow us to use it without Decocraft. Pros: minimal work Cons: original authors might not replay or decline
• ~~Add both FTB Trophies and Decocraft to the pack and override the FTB Trophies models using ResourceLoader (already included in the pack, used for CustomMainMenu) Pros: minimal work Cons: both FTB Trophies and Decocraft are ARR; we might not want to add Decocraft due to bloat/performance/whatever reasons~~
• Add both FTB Trophies and Decocraft to the pack, override the models and somehow hack into Decocraft to remove any content Pros: less work than first option Cons: I don't know how mush work it'd be to remove/disable any Decocraft content
• If we only get permissions to redistribute PTRModelLib and no permissions to edit&redistribute FTB Trophies, we might still be able to use FTB Trophies by fooling it to think Decocraft is present (either by forcing Forge to ignore that FTB Trophies misses a dependency or by creating an "empty" mod with the same modid as Decocraft). Thus, we'd be able to override the models using ResourceLoader Pros: easy solution if we don't get permissions for FTB Trophies Cons: FTB Trophies would still be ARR

If we want to add trophies in any form, we need someone to model them

Note: PTRModelLib is called PTRLib outside it's sourcecode (don't ask me why)

Decocraft was already decided to not be added.
