And will the map will be reset when we get a final plugin server up

bouncybul · 10-11-2012 07:49PM

The maker of FTB just said that a perm/protection system is coming in very very soon

Indubitable · 10-11-2012 08:21PM

Seems I can't connect with the new launcher.

bouncybul · 10-11-2012 08:24PM

Server needs to update?

Completionist · 10-11-2012 08:27PM

So the mod pack is now officially released, Download links are on the homepage(http://www.feed-the-beast.com/)

Jar
exe

Can the server be updated and wiped(Not required but for the best).

This works pretty well for protection against griefing/stealing as you can make regions that are player specific. If each player is given their own world and the entrance is region protected then there should not be any problem with griefing/stealing.

...Nukes will need to be disabled in the IC2 config.

Might be a good idea to put down a filled notebook in a writing table at spawn so another 70 ages won't be created to get symbols.

bouncybul · 10-11-2012 08:42PM

Yeah just go to creative and get one, all the symbols will be there

Completionist · 10-11-2012 10:26PM

Damn login servers!:(

Indubitable · 10-11-2012 10:33PM

Are they not working?

Completionist · 10-11-2012 10:35PM

They have been going up and down all evening:P

Indubitable · 10-11-2012 10:38PM

Don't log off

deconduo · 10-11-2012 11:22PM

Updated to the release version of FTB, brand new map for it as well. Unfortunately minecraft session servers are down, so I can't actually test it.

Try restarting your client a few times, It worked for me.

Indubitable · 10-11-2012 11:34PM

The servers went up just as dec posted.

Completionist · 11-11-2012 05:52PM

Right so it seems by default certain GregTech recipes are disabled by default(Macerator seems to be one) which is good!

Solitaire · 12-11-2012 03:56AM

That's changed then - when I played the beta a few days back that mace needed diamonds to build :eek:

Yea it was bugged so Dec has disabled GregTech altogether.

I thought the whole reason of FTB was it was much more stable than tekkit. If there are so many bugs with GregTech then why is it in FTB in the first place, at least until the're fixed

I am actually not sure what caused the issues, I cant find anyone else complaining of it being broken so it was either just with boards and maybe running with some outdated configs or some other issue with client/server configs:/

Last night has proven that GregTech is needed. Right now UU matter is being generated at a reasonable level which after only 6 or 7 hours work from having only a macerator and some ore is surprising.

OH right that makes sense,

Am i right in thinking that GregTech just changes the recipes of machines to make them much harder, is that all it does...

It adds some additional machines and material as well.

Wiki is here however I am not sure how up to date it is.

You could also check the config file as it will list anything that is added.

Ye i seen that page, the introduction could do with an extension :P

It looks cool, same about the bugs, what kind of issues where people having.

When everything calms down i'll be focused more on the technology/ machine stuff rather than the magical items

RP2 should be out for FTB in the next few weeks when it is updated to 1.4.2 which will make it a bit more fun.

FTB has permission from all the mod devs to have their mods included which in theory should make the mods be more compatible with each other, resulting in a decent modpack with faster updates.

AFAIK it doesn't have the additional pipes mod which is a bit disappointing, could be wrong though.

BlandKitten · 14-11-2012 05:16PM

New update 1.4.4 is not compatible with the current server. If you want to keep playing then don't update just yet.

Yeah but if it took an experienced and aggressive techer like you 6-7 hours to reach that stage, it would thus take a regular player like me 6-7 days to reach the same level of progress, and it would take a casual or more inexperienced player 6-7 weeks. Its just not feasible to nerf the entire server to make the bobages of the world happy - most of us aren't Minecraft gods and don't have fully enchanted diamond armor 2-3 hours after the beginning of the vanilla server

Ye lets be honest, if it takes you 6-7 hours to reach that level then the rest of us will take a week or two :P

Don't think I would like GregTech Myself. What I enjoy most out of modpacks like Tekkit and FTB is not advancing my machinery and that but actually using the stuff to do different bits and pieces. GregTech would only add tedium to the game for me when I could be making printers etc.

Printers? , go on ...

Indubitable · 14-11-2012 06:12PM

You can make 3D printers using computercraft and Redpower 2. Would be a bit advanced for me but i'll get around to it eventually.

Can Dynmap be installed? Linky
