My dislike for it is similar to above. I literally only use it for minecraft. With no option to disable or remove any bloatware its not that good for me. Plus i let my son play on my pc/account ( until i get him his own pc) and i really dont want a 5 year old doing anything that's even remotely connected the outside. technic, AT and FTB launchers all do that perfectly. twitch doesnt. But if it is easy to get packs on the other launchers i may have to look into just straight out ripping them from curse and putting them elsewhere where my son can access them.

Probably the slimiest of the Anti-Technic crowd. It is great the whole modpack thing has finally evolved to something more sane though. Serifina posted:

I use Technic to distribute my modpack because it's easy enough to pack it all into a .zip file, throw it up on dropbox, and link the pack to that. My only gripe is that it takes a while for the launcher to sync with the servers, but other than that, it allows me to do the basic stuff, which is all I really need, and users can totally just download the pack and import into their favorite launcher if they want.

So far my only problem with having my pack on Curse is that I can't include OptiFine. Yeah yeah worst mod ever, etc etc but it's the only drat way to do CTM and custom item textures post-1.7.10 and that poo poo's rad. I wish someone would make a Forge mod that only adds CTM and CIT capabilities without doing all the rendering fuckery that OF does, but whatcha gonna do. It's not really a showstopper though, and it says more about OF's stupid license than anything. Fortis fucked around with this message at 01:14 on Jun 15, 2017 |

Yeah, there's a reason they don't include Optifine on Curse - or on the third-party list. It is very inconsistent from user to user, and while it might be great for you, for someone else it can break things, and nearly always requires fiddling with the configuration for it.

Optifine is a bit like the Curse launcher, it's mostly got a bad rep from the past. I remember in 1.6 and earlier, there were some major issues I had with it (rendering multiblock TE's was something I think it had issue with) but on the flip side I've had players on my server who could not have played the modpack we use without it, however, and in 1.7.10 or 1.10.2 it's only ever improved my experience. The only real config stuff I've had to do was just in the video options menus, which honestly vanilla MC would do well to expand on.

Can't you just stuff Optifine into the pack's ZIP on Curse just like any other mod they don't normally carry or is there some licensing thing that keeps you from doing that?

Toadsmash posted:Can't you just stuff Optifine into the pack's ZIP on Curse just like any other mod they don't normally carry or is there some licensing thing that keeps you from doing that? A moderator has to approve the zip. They check that 1) all Curse-hosted mods are in the manifest.json that tells there launcher what to download and NOT in the zip itself as jar files, and 2) that any mod jar files that ARE in the zip are on the approved non-Curse mods list. Optifine isn't on the list. They say it's due to licensing but the explanation Serifina gave above also makes sense.

I was under the impression that Curse mostly just reviews uploads to make sure there isn't any malicious code/files inside. Declining to host a file due to bugs/usability/etc. issues would fall outside Curse's purview as the content host (versus creator) in my mind, but I guess everybody does things differently. I had no idea how tightly (or loosely) they control their content submissions. Interesting!

Third Party allowance requires the mod author to specifically grant Curse permission to distribute in modpacks or have a 100% open permission to begin with. The vast majority of mods not hosted on Curse are on the Third Party list already. Optifine is probably the single major example that isn't.

After dying like 50+ times, trying to do anything with minecolony other than deploying the supply caravan chest is a mistake it seems. It takes a few days for the builder to just set up the town hall and he doesn't work on rainy days, and the massive amount of processed and crafted wood materials is obscene for the little benefit it gives in game, and the arson happy raiders tend to start spawning on day 2, and raiders also spawn regardless of light levels, meaning the only thing that can stop them from spawning is the powered lamp. Raiders spawn next to flamable building-> raiders burn down flamable building-> spend more time and resources on something that's going to be burned down or exploded. The guards are about on par with a disposable item turret, except in the later days when radiers have 30-300 hp and hit like brick poo poo houses if you don't have good armor, also the guards do not understand Line of Sight. They're pretty good, but not in invasion modpack. The Sawmill/wood cutters only chop down trees and don't give planks ("saw mill"?), and the builder can't craft things that he needs to craft and some building higher than tier 1 needs crafting tables when crafting tables are a consumable uncraftable commodity which requires that you pick up 9 crafting tables. The Armorer and bakery can't be made even though their benefits are minimal, bread is hard to craft and bugs are 10 times better for eating after you get a deep fryer, or just eat baked potatoes or carrots. When playing invasion modpack, don't bother with minecolony, it's good, just not on invasion modpack. Or just save yourself the pain and just remove it manually from the modpack for reduced load, same with that airplane mod that I never knew existed until I looked though the recipes.

I was so sad when MCpatcher just kind of died (even though it was a bitch to package in a launcher).

Maybe it'll get fleshed out in the future since it still looks fairly new.The optifine dev was at least nice enough to not really touch the MCpatcher format of doing CTM (heck you can even keep the directory named MCPatcher and it will recognize it just fine). I currently use Optifine for:

Have you contacted the author? It's also open-source so it could be forked if you're willing to work. My plate is too full to work on something like this right now but your features don't sound too unrealistic. The chisel devs have been very responsive to suggestions in the past too. As for the property files, that stuff shouldn't be too hard to convert with a script to a new system.

I remember way back in the day there was an aesthetic block mod that added massive connected texture blocks. Like textures that look like normal stonebrick, but you only see the full scale of it at 3x3. Chisel has a few examples, but this mod had some nice large stone bricks and sandstone bricks that would look neat for larger faces. But I just can't find any records of such a thing. Any ideas?

Is there a mod for flattening bedrock that works with Life in the Woods: Renaissance? I love LITW, but not having an ability to flatten bedrock in worldgen is a pain in the rear end. Having a flat bedrock layer rather than the jumbled mess it normally generates as just makes the deep cavern exploration game so much less of a hassle to navigate.

Rocko Bonaparte posted:If it isn't too much of a bother, I'd at least like to know. For servers, I would be curious what it would be like to do with a dynamically-generated overworld. For the server pack I included the forge essentials mod and set the end to be the default spawn dimension. The catch is that 1. the first time a player enters the server they get kicked and the server throws out a very long error report (but they can join just fine from there on out with no further errors) 2. wherever you set the world spawn in the overworld is where the player will spawn in the end. So if your worldspawn is at 0 64 0 in the overworld that's where people will spawn in the end as well, regardless of your settings. From there you can just use transporter NPC's to move people to whichever dimension you want. Keep in mind that you don't actually have to have a transporter NPC on both sides; you can set up the route, delete the NPC and still teleport people to a destination. Also, that wooden feather the NPC mod adds lets you teleport between dimensions. Kind of useful for setting this all up. After doing this you may get an issue where the server is constantly loading and unloading dimensions. It puts a huge strain on resources and is Not Cool. To fix it just put a spotloader somewhere in all dimensions. NPC's can be set to chunkload, too, but for the love of Christ don't ever put a chunkloading NPC next to a spotloader. For single player, HQM can do it by itself. Just make sure you log out where you want the player to start at before you save and distribute the map. I also can't recommend forge essentials enough. It covers all the stuff the essential bukkit plugins used to do for server owners and then some.

It's decent. YouTuber by the name SeriousCreeper built it. He has a few vids on it. It focuses on exploring (not really in my experience) and it gates a few things behind tough as nails and better with mods. Planks can only be made on a chopping block or saw. You have to be aware of hot/cold temps, and maintain hydration. Also he added his own loot chests in, and you can only sleep after it's dark for a bit. However sleeping drains food a decent amount.

If my wife was already frustrated at all the he;lp posts in the BFSR Technic page, she'll blow a gasket when 20 people all complain individually that they get kicked off the server when they try to join it. I mean, it's my rodeo, and I'm a little leery of making that the official method. I'm probably better off giving the first player to join the server a magic thing that shits out a little house and creates a warp to the tutorial dimension. (The real solution is to just get a spawn point setting command that can hit another dimension. This is apparently the hardest thing in the universe or something.)

There should be Thermal Expansion Aluminum, though I'm pretty sure I got all mine from bauxite before making Mystical Agriculture seeds for it. But it looks like the IE ores got disabled. There's been a lot of  problems in the pack lately, that have gone beyond 'this is an unfortunate bug that we gotta wait on an update for' to 'what the gently caress was boolyman thinking when he did this?' Quests for things that were removed or disabled, such as completely removing Yellorium from being a registered ingot (and leaving the quest to use the Forge Lexicon to change Uranium into it, which doesn't work) and the infamous Justice Assembled quest; random things we aren't able to craft anymore since the 1.18 update such as: TiCon crafting benches, Storage Drawers' Drawer Controller, Tinker I/O's Smart Output and Fuel Input Machine; and the fact that it doesn't seem like he's ever actually deleted any quests that he removed from the quest book (leaving leftover dependencies for quests that still exist but that you can't complete without going into edit mode.) I mean, I'm opped on the server I play on and it's still annoying having to /bq_admin complete quests or use JEI cheat mode to get things just for myself, let alone for all the other players who are just stuck until I or another op fixes it for them.

I reinstalled the 1.18b version shortly after it came out, and I don't have problems with most of the things mentioned TiCon benches I can make by doing Vanilla Bench -> Ghetto Bench -> TiCon Bench in current version I still have Bauxite Ores - looking at the IE config, I see that most of the Ores have been zeroed out, but they left Bauxite on.

Yeah i cant even JEI in the ore. But i might beable to cheat in enough stacks of ingots, I mean ive pretty much strip mined a massive area looking for it. Oh and i cant plant any seeds AT ALL in crop sticks. When i drop the sticks on dirt that has been hit with a hoe it comes up 'unidentifed soil'. So i havent been able to do any crop breeding at all. I think ive got wednesday off work, might log back in then and see whats up.

I thought I was going to beeline for Refined Storage, but I just realized that the Solderer is gating it pretty hard (Galgadorean garbage), or Blood Magic meteor summoning. I'm guessing that the intermediate step is setting up a storage drawer system, using an EnderIO inventory access to see it?
