had to look around to figure out what was needed on the client side.


Need the FTB launcher : http://www.feed-the-beast.com/

And within that launcher you can grab the Direwolf20 mod pack

Yeah, I think this time I'm just going to explore IC2, Redpower 2 and Railcraft

Once I update my texture pack so I can see stuff.

Edit: I don't suppose there is a compatible BDCraft texture pack for it yet?

I just checked, and its updated to 1.4.6, and it does seem to support mods. Just dont know if its 100% up to date with all of the mods.

I started off playing with Thermal Expansion which is a very cool addon to BC.

Blarg, so I thought the World Junior game was at 5:30 ... it wasn't... so I played FTB

I have a generator, an extractor, several rubber trees and a bunch of diamonds.

If I can get my hands on some gold and more diamonds I will be building a quarry soon

Most of my mining stuff will be below ground BUT my dream of a solar panel factory will be made real on this server!

Also I got Sphax running but it's a bit buggy, not all textures seem right.
Title: Re: FTB Server Status [UP]
Post by: Lazybones on December 28, 2012, 10:42:54 AM
Looking at all the mods and what already has been built I feel a bit behind. Then again I never played on the old tech kit server.

Also not sure about the suggested mining restriction to the other world / ages. Some clarification on the desired server rules would be nice.

In the mean time I am setting up the basics in the side of a mountain.
Title: Re: FTB Server Status [UP]
Post by: Mr. Analog on December 28, 2012, 10:55:29 AM
Cool! Yeah, the learning curve can be a bit steep, I recommend learning one mod and moving your way through the tech tree to build the stuff you want (I guess).

I know for sure I want to play with RailCraft

I have a lot of experience with BuildCraft and RedPower from Tekkit so I will likely stick with those.

There is A LOT of stuff I don't understand though, I'd like to get into automated farming but I'll have to hit the wiki for that.

One thing that is going to be a HUGE help is making sure recipe mode is enabled, you can just search for the gizmo you want to build and it will filter the TooManyItems list to the item, then you can press "R" and it will show you the crafting instructions.

I wish there was a Crafting Table Mk. III though, that thing is so frickin' handy

Cause Ron loves crafting gears forever.
Title: Re: FTB Server Status [UP]
Post by: Tom on December 28, 2012, 12:11:16 PM
The rules so far are:
- Be Excellent to Each Other
- Most/All mining should be in the Forest Resources age, which you'll find in the gate room. (Yes, I know they are called portals, but gate room sounds so much awesomer)

I think you'll absolutely love the new RP2  Project table then. :D

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=w_QdK365qAs#t=99s

I suggest watching all three parts to that spotlight, but that link is to the section on the project table. It's not AS handy as the old MK3, but I dont know of any mod that adds that back in.

We showed you the forest one right? At any rate, the big brick building at spawn is the gate room/hub. in there you'll find a mystcraft portal you can walk through to get to it. Also in there is the new enchanting room :D I need to make it prettier, but its somewhat decent as is.

Yeah, you guys need to get more creative with your portal room there 'cause right now it's like more of a shed than a transport hub ;)

In fact it was difficult to read what the books are labelled as they are so close together.

Also it would be helpful to know what they are before you go there LOL

At any rate, is there a way of automatically transporting a large amount of material from one dimension (age?) to another?

You have multiple worlds set up?  How many?  And mining is only supposed to happen in one of them?  Is that to avoid the Giant Holes In The Ground look of typical tekkit maps?
Title: Re: FTB Server Status [UP]

I'm not sure how it all works, as soon as I dropped in the guys whisked me to a place where there was constant lightning and tons of trees.

To be honest I was going to keep all my mining below ground by at least 15 blocks (nothing worth mining until below there anyway) but the anarchist in me wants to really screw with the landscape.

I'm going to build a giant space needle type building though, there will be a gleaming white futuristic tower and horrible ugly mines beneath it.

Isengard!

There are several. You can go enderchests and some form of device that pumps things in and out of them, or Chest Carts and mystcraft portals.

Sev and I may be setting up a nether lava system to pump lava back to the overworld for use in various things :D Mostly power.

So far we have several worlds, but MANY of them are worse than useless (its just how Mystcraft works, you have to discover the symbols used to make custom ages/worlds, and worlds with randomly generated symbols will have funky effects applied).

Basically I'd like to keep mining out of the overworld :) we can setup more worlds/ages for other things if you want, but I think the one mining age for now is probably fine. We can rip it to shreds if we like.

And with most mining happening out of the overworld we get to keep the ground in the overworld clear of man made labyrinths, so any building that gets done, is free to build down and out without hitting someone elses @%&#.

The hobbits are going to Isengard!

I've been mining at or around level 12-14 mostly. Been desperate for diamonds. I found 8, then fell into lava >:( then found 3 and used them right away on the enchanting table.

So I just installed the FTB launcher, and it installs its own copy of Minecraft.  It could be that BDCraft isn't working quite correct for you just because some of the mods like Connected Textures aren't included in the FTB launcher?

Select the Direwolf20 pack, it installs 1.4.6.

How do I select the Direwolf20 pack?  I go to the site http://www.feed-the-beast.com/, I click the Download button, under "Download Client" I click the download exe button, I download FTB_Launcher.exe to C:\Personal\Minecraft\FeedTheBeast, I run FTB_Launcher.exe, I create a login profile, I click Launch, a modpack downloads...

Oh @%&#, wait, the screen where you select a login profile lists @%&# on the left side, including a Direwolf20 thing.  It looks like a @%&#ing news feed, so my brain immediately ignored it.  Apparently I was downloading VoxelModPack from this launcher.

Hey, this FTB_Launcher.exe, is that just to download the mod pack?  Can I start up Minecraft without it?  Because I hate having to remember to change what mod pack is selected in the launcher every time (it doesn't seem to remember my selection of Direwolf20).

It remembers my selection. But no, you need the launcher since it does all of the updating and patching.
Title: Re: FTB Server Status [UP]
Post by: Mr. Analog on December 28, 2012, 01:31:44 PM
The FTB launcher (as with Tekkit) install different versions of Minecraft to different locations so that they all live individually, absolutely zero hassle, just let the launcher do the work.

You'll find a new folder with just the FTB stuff in the same location as your launcher

The only thing that is a pain is the lack of decent textures, Sphax BDCraft was fairly mature for Tekkit when I got started with that but for FTB it's severely behind, I get a mishmash of textures... but they are better than the defaults.

I currently run 3 launchers:
-Tekkit
-FTB
-MagicLauncher
Title: Re: FTB Server Status [UP]
Post by: Mr. Analog on December 29, 2012, 03:41:00 PM
So, just a heads up I think the Sphax BDCraft texture pack was causing some serious lag issues for the FTB client (even with OptiFine installed).

I'm on vanilla now which is making finding ores hard.

Direwolf20 FTB Pack v3 is now out, your FTB launcher will prompt you to update... currently trying to figure out how to revert to v2 as I accidentally clicked update.
Title: Re: FTB Server Status [UP]
Post by: Mr. Analog on December 29, 2012, 09:50:32 PM
I'll have to take a look but I thought both versions were in the list, I'll see what I can find out

Edit:

I'm having a really hard time finding any docs for this crap BUT on the list of mod packs there is a button labelled "Edit Mod Pack", click it and there is a tab called "Modpack Version", from there you should be able to select the version of the mod pack you want to use.

It's just about the most roundabout way of loading a previous version of Feed the Beast (or rather, Direwolf20s Pack)

This is a very messy interface that isn't obvious.
Title: Re: FTB Server Status [UP]
Post by: Lazybones on December 29, 2012, 10:36:17 PM
Ya, I found that but it doesn't work even with the force update button that is in another spot.

The updated indicated it would make a backup but did not. I can find no way to install the direwolf20 v2 pack now.

I hunted the FTB forums and knowledge base for a few hours.

Kim of pissed off as I had the time to play but can't.

OH man, I just saw you log in in the chat window, sorry I was watching a tutorial video in another window while waiting for my vigorous macerations to complete

Like I said before I am GREATLY surprised at how versioning is handled, the whole point of a mod loader is to manage stuff like that and it's surprisingly lacking.

So I've built a quarry, now I have to figure out the best way of getting stuff from one dimension to another
Title: Re: FTB Server Status [UP]
Post by: Lazybones on December 30, 2012, 12:01:46 AM
well I eventually managed to revert to v2 after consecutive launches and the force download option..

Hours and hours of wasted time!
Title: Re: FTB Server Status [UP]
Post by: Lazybones on December 30, 2012, 12:07:14 AM
I AM IN !!!!!!!

1. reverting to the older version... AS MR. A pointed out you can set an older version, and there is a force update button under options (this doesn't do anything till you LAUNCH)
2. Try launching more than once and closing the loader in between..
3. If you get a forge world ID mismatch error, note the name of the mod in the error then to to ...\Direwolf20\minecraft\config and delete the .cfg file for the mod. Launch again!
Title: Re: FTB Server Status [UP]
Post by: Mr. Analog on December 30, 2012, 12:21:09 AM
Ugh!! WOOT!!

I went through similar pains today with performance issues, it seemed okay at first but somehow it just kept getting worse, so I spent a couple hours trying to figure out if it was server lag or client lag, it looks like it was client lag due to the texture pack I was using. Which lead me to find a

Somewhat Decent Texture Pack

The good news is that I DID find a good texture pack for it!

http://bdcraft.net/forum/ftb-direwolf-20s-pack

Installing it is a bit of a butt though, launch FTB, and then press the "Open Texture Folder" button on the main menu, this will open the folder location where FTB will actually detect the texture pack. Copy your downloaded texture pack into this folder and it should show up in the list.

Installing OptiFine is a little bit trickier too so here's some help:


Oddly the two lists are set up so that enabled mods are on the left and disabled mods are on the right, this is backward and confusing at first. On the plus side you can juggle different versions of some individual mods.

Other Performance Shizzle Whizzle:
If you are running on a laptop MAKE SURE to force video card acceleration as apparently some machines do not detect the FTB launcher as a game.

Two part question time!!

Q: before I craft one, are there any objections to Railcraft World Anchors being used in the Overworld?

I ask because Part 2 of my question here is ... I'm going to make a perpetual UU-Matter machine in the overworld.

With a macerator a couple automatic crafting tables, a recycler and a mass fabricator I can basically make unlimited UU-Matter.

The idea I have is set up the macerator to macerate blaze rods, send them to the automatic crafting table where they are combined with the minium stone to produce blaze rods send half to a bank of generators and the other half back to the macerator, the bank of generators will fill an MFSU, the MFSU will power the mass fabricator, I also have several stacks of Scrap.

IF they fix the blaze rod glitch I could switch to a tree farm to generate large quantities of charcoal with a fully heated induction furnace, but I figure I'll have enough HV solar arrays by the time they fix the glitch that it won't be a problem.

At any rate, once I get to the point where I can build up a decent number of HV solar arrays I won't even need the machine, just the fabricator and an MFSU (or two).

ALL THIS TO BRING SOLAR POWER TO THE MASSES

Now I have to work out prices... How do people feel about using IC coins?, IC coins is stupid (bad exchange rate from the galactical space superbank), maybe I'll just charge iron or UU-matter or something...
Title: Re: FTB Server Status [UP]
Post by: Lazybones on January 03, 2013, 09:30:23 AM
I can't see any objection to world anchors, actually I can't think of any dis-advantage to them unless you die in a chunk and loose your stuff there?
Title: Re: FTB Server Status [UP]
Post by: Mr. Analog on January 03, 2013, 09:34:13 AM
World anchors can bog down the server (or was that teleport pipes and world anchors?)

I think anyway, from Tekkit

I think that is why FTB includes the ChickenChunks mod

http://feed-the-beast.wikia.com/wiki/ChickenChunks


http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/909223-145146-smp-chickenbones-mods/
So you've seen a few of these things around before, Teleport Pipes has one, Railcraft has two. Immibis has one. Here's a short feature list.

Features:

    Will reload chunks after a server restart
    Works with frames
    100% not buggy guarantee (I'll fix it if you find a bug).
    External viewer for seeing the loaded chunks and making sure everything works.
    Server owners can set the number of loaded chunks per player, per dimenion and globally.
    Will load and unload mystcraft dimensions as needed.
    Server Operators can set them to only work when a player is online.

You can also look into Mystcraft portals, and the interage linking books (as in jumping inside an age via a book).

Trapped in a HORRIBLE dimension full of nausea and sickness!

Before leaving the house I tried going to the "a dungeon" dimension in the mining age and found there's absolutely no way out.

When I log back in I'm going to need someone to op me so I can get out.

got it sorted thanks to sev

Post by: Mr. Analog on January 09, 2013, 07:34:20 AM
If it helps this is what was happening just before I crashed:

-Sev had been carving a massive swath out of the mining age, the machine hit a snag on something and he ended up logging off to go to bed

-I had been using linking books between my hobbit hole in the overworld and my quarry in the mining age, I crafted a chicken chunk loader and placed it near my quarry. I collected wood from my automated tree farm and then I went back to the overworld and used the induction furnace to burn up a couple stacks of wood for coal

-while in the overworld I set my draw distance to far and changed texture packs (Sphax 64)

-Things lagged out pretty badly so I logged out and then back in again

-Things were still very laggy but I went back to the mining age via linking book and started putting coal into my stirling engines

-I tried logging out and found that I couldn't log back in
Title: Re: FTB Server Status [DOWN]

If I had to guess I would guess the mega digger that sev built could be an issue.

Textures should be local.

Draw distance should only have impact while online.

Yes, the Forestry mod is included.

I have built an arboretum and a logger to make wood for fuel and I was planning on building a second arboretum/logger (and an Automatic Treetap) with rubber trees so I could start mass producing copper cable.

I'm so close to getting all the stuff together I will need for a fully automated solar panel factory. I just have to sort out where I want raw material coming in then it's automatic crafting table time!

I also learnt about the Thermal expansion mod, which has some very interesting machines I want to play with. I might be able to save some space by using them for my house as well was switch to BuildCraft power for a few other things...

Well we know there is a giant red stone powered digging system with a computer and a chunkloader running on the server... I bet that has something to do with it..

FYI rail craft has its own TBM you can build (not as big).

I have also seen some posts from FTB server admins stating running it has HUGE memory costs.

Sev is pretty sure he turned it off.

No doubt that FTB has high memory costs, but it doesn't seem to matter how much I give it. Normally it was fine with 3GB, it'd use 1-2GB. I tried giving it 8GB and it still died.

Sev took a look at his stuff today while I was trying to mess with it. His machine wasn't on, and he broke a bunch of his redpower sorters and stuff to pull out any backlog of items. Then we disabled a few chunk loaders before the server died. Nothing seemed to help.

I did try only giving it 1GB ram, and that just made it die faster.

Maybe there's some kind of loop issue with my ender chest recycling?

Try breaking both ender chests in the mining age (it's in the opposite direction of Sev's setup, I think he knows where it is), there's also a chicken chunk loader there.

In the overworld there's a black one in a building behind my factory, that would be the one causing issues maybe?

If I put the server back up for a short period, could you do it? With 8GB the server will last 10-20min without too much lag.

Yep, there was a change to redstone engines that makes it so they can only be hooked up directly to other machines, which kind of makes sense I guess, having large banks of redstone engines causes lag apparently.

The issue was also compounded by the remote energy mods available. I actually looked into a massive redstone generator at one point but without the energy transmitter it made no sense... It didn't put out enough power per size to power a sorting  / factory but it would have been a cheap way to remote power quarry...

Instead I went with a way to make my quarry power more portable.

Post by: Mr. Analog on January 11, 2013, 03:03:42 PM
That's basically what I was looking for as well, I wanted to hook up a bank of low power engines to a Thermal Expansion mod redstone storage cell and then teleport pipe out the juice where I needed it by remote control power switch pipes (http://technicpack.wikia.com/wiki/Power_Switch_Pipe#Power_Switch_Pipe)

Oh yeah, I ended up creating an infinite cobble generator, I'm vastly confused about how Thermal Expansion machines are supposed to work (or not) with redstone conduit

I just could not get a conduit to power a Magma Crucible, I had to jam a redstone energy cell right next to it.

I had various chests of resources that i dont know the counts for so really I am just spawning in machines so far.

I got a quarry going and this time I'm just keeping everything in the over world instead of storing it in the resource world.

FYI NEI has some options when you give your self stuff

0 at the bottom o the screen = a stack
1-??? Give you just that many
If you shift click it gives you an unlimited amount.

I had to destroy things a few times after some accidental gives.

Doesn't seem like it.

That thread seems to be talking about client side crashes. It takes a long time for the server to die, it basically pulls the equivelent of a swap storm in the JVM's memory allocator. Or so it seems. like something is constantly creating and freeing a crap load of stuff, enough to hit the jvm max memory setting, and then something is also leaking a little bit, so things eventually just grind to a halt and die.

I'm pretty sure the problem was me looping things between dimensions with ender chests and transposers. It can cause lag issues from what I've read, so I got rid of all that nonsense.

I also started using void pipes for crap I don't want

Hmm, Thats how I've been doing things. but not looping stuff. Basically just my turtles and now my quarry dumping stuff into a single enderchest.

I really don't have a good explanation for it. Other than some buggyness and maybe some abuse by the players (plural, I don't think it was caused by just one person messing about).

I had 4 ender chests, linked in twos, one was filled manually the other was on a near constant cycle, stuff would bounce back and forth from dimension to dimension, I think what made it worse was I was using linking books to bounce between them rapidly

Not sure if this all combined into one big problem or what but I notice no lag since I got rid of the recycling system, I void pipe common material now and produce cobblestone with a Igneous Extruder

No lag at all with that setup.

Woo busy day today, I built a blast furnace and a set of Quantum Armor!

The blast furnace was actually the hardest because it required magma cream and I could not find a fire slime to save my life HOWEVER I found out that there is a machine called a Crystallizer (from the Factorization mod) that can synthesize a slimeball with milk and lime dye, then using powdered blaze rods (of which I have significant amounts of) I could craft magma cream

The ONLY thing that sucked is getting started with the Factorization mod, I now know what lead, silver and sulfur are for. The tech tree is very different with this mod, you basically craft a fully charged battery and THEN you can build power if you need it, I kept looking for a basic generator and I couldn't find one, all the recipes I could find required a fully charged battery, THEN I found out when you craft a battery it comes fully charged (!?) which is kind of weird...

As well from what I can tell all the machines in Factorization pretty much do the same thing that the IC2 stuff does just way more expensive and convoluted.

Maybe I'll set up a little Factorization zone and set up more Crystallizers

OH YEAH, I found a spider dungeon, unfortunately I had run out of torches to I just killed the spawner.

I found a lot of weird stuff, including two records and some kind of weird logic controller?? I think it's from railcraft, but it's very strange...

I also found a saddle and some strange tree shrubs!

Where did all the Nether Wart go?

I scoured the nether fortress (which is huge BTW) and found nothing, well, I found the spots where they should be but they've all been collected.

So does anyone have Nether Warts? Maybe I can start a farm or something.

I took a bunch from one or two of the near by fortresses. I don't think I took it all, but I still have most of it. Feel free to take some :) In the chest to the left of the bed I think, if not, its the one on the right, I think.. one is a chest full of "living" types of items, and the other is just random misc crap.

V3 works fine for me. Maybe something in your setup is broken? Maybe try moving the feedthebeast install folder out of the way (not sure where that's located on windows), which ever folder its installing its patched version of minecraft.

Ya I don't expect to be able to keep up, however sharing resources is so much more meaningful if your tech levels are not drastically different.

The dire pack is pretty much the official non specialized pack.

We could make our own pack now though. the ftb launcher makes that pretty easy.

Hmm that is an interesting option... In many ways I would love to see LESS things in the packs, especially since there is lots of overlap and the extra resources actually make it hard to collect sufficient amounts of common resources in some cases.
Title: Re: FTB Server Status [UP]
Post by: Tom on August 20, 2013, 11:41:42 AM
The FTB guys have gotten a lot better at balancing the resources. The mods all support the forge dictionary now, so they can mostly all share similar resources. Except in the case of mods that must have their own special ore...
Title: Re: FTB Server Status [UP]
Post by: Tom on August 20, 2013, 11:42:50 AM
Oh, and the nice thing about a custom ftb pack via the launcher is all one has to do is put together the pack, then load it into ftb's listing, then anyone can use it (or just people with the code if you have it set to private).
Title: Re: FTB Server Status [UP]
Post by: Lazybones on August 20, 2013, 11:55:18 AM
Hmm maybe it is time to put together a list of our favorite or most hated items (new thread?) and base a pack off of that?

That is if anyone else is interest in a custom pack vs one of the standard ones.
Title: Re: FTB Server Status [UP]
Post by: Thorin on August 20, 2013, 12:10:29 PM
I wouldn't mind one with less choices so there's not such a steep learning curve and so many different ores to collect.

I might even get back into playing FTB for more than one night.

You could just focus on a specific mod or set of mods. I was pretty much focusing on RP2 and that one mod with the pulverizer. I really liked how its blocks worked, with the configurable sides. Oh and a bit of railcraft (for the tanks and similar things), and computercraft. # hmmmm I love turtles #
