Howmuch posted:I really want to put that modpack on my server for my friends that have never really played with mods. I'll have to look it up later when I'm in front of my main computer, but I remember setting up the server files was generally easier than setting up the client distribution. It had less steps. The one little killer is that some mods are client-only and crap out if they're included in the server's mods folders. Assuming it's still up-to-date, I should have that list on my main computer.

That's it. Setting up a server is pretty easy.

Magres posted:Anyone have any recommendations for good progression oriented modpacks? I'm hitting the point in Blightfall where the game is pretty much "plant Ethereal Blooms, wait a while, collect and replant Ethereal Blooms" to get my island base cleaned off, so I'm looking for something new. I've been playing Paradox Mindfold and it's really great. The map is in an ocean biome so passive mobs won't spawn but there's actually a quest for getting around that (or you can cheat in spawn eggs once you have some grass), also uh, the manual for Essential Craft 3 is pretty crashy. Try to avoid using it. A tip if you play it: be careful when creating mobs. The Appearifier will try once per tick, and once you've got a liquid stockpile of Paradox feeding it, that can result in a LOT of mobs really fast.

That's it. Setting up a server is pretty easy. This is what I have in my old spreadsheet for mods to apparently take out of the server pack: Damage Indicator Mouse Tweaks JourneyMap Client-side -- but do use JourneyMapServer, which you probably have to go fetch. I think you are clear with that. Note though that I was running the server for this for a little corporate team-building thing months--and quite a few revisions--back. The client is using Forge 1408, so you want to use the 1408 server jar.

Just been trying out the new HQM packs on the FTB server (so you don't have to). Refuge is boring and grindy, with a hint of an interesting idea that it never follows through on. Obscurity is just insanely, brokenly, unfairly difficult. Void World's blurb is so badly written that I couldn't bring myself to try it. Going to go try Hubris now, although I'm predicting a cheap knockoff of Blightfall. Summary - all poo poo, don't bother. I wonder if Blast Off is in a playable state yet.

Magres posted:What's awful about obscurity? The premise blurb sounded cool and I like both hostile world games (ie why I've been digging blightfall so much) and I really love mechanics that involve lighting. Obscurity takes place almost entirely in the Deep Dark. If that wasn't enough, torches are nerfed to barely emit light, and you have next to no supplies. Wolfsbane posted:Obscurity is just insanely, brokenly, unfairly difficult. How far did you get? I survived the mad dash to the first compact machine, got the supplies from it, then died and realized that if your interdiction torch is in your gravestone and you have no backup supplies you're pretty much screwed. Then I found out there's a patch coming out soon that changes the oregen and all kinds of poo poo that I would want to start over for anyway. I think what you're supposed to do is get the supplies from the compact machine, then climb down the side of the hole a little ways so you can dig into the cobble and make an underground area you can grow a tree in. The interdiction torch is way brighter than torches so you can probably use that to grow trees.

For what it's worth, Obscurity includes Thaumcraft and Thaumic Tinkerer, so if you sprint for Hyperenergetic Nitors as hard as you can (minimum resources for a hyper nitor is like 10-15 coal, 2 wood, 10 iron, and a glowstune dust). My only experience with the Deep Dark was playing FTB Infinity, after I had gotten to hyper nitors. Hyper nitors almost entirely trivialize the Deep Dark, because they light up any area you move through. Though if they nerfed torches that much, they probably nerfed hyper nitors, and getting to them in the first place in that kind of environment sounds hard

In my best run I grew a tree (on a pillar above the compact machine), then collected all my stuff and ran back to the starting tower. I was busy building an underground room when I accidentally made a hole in the roof and a million double health, double damage zombies dropped on me. While I was carrying all my wood. I don't know why it bothers with lives, the first death is almost always game over.

I would love if a mod came up with an appropriate death penalty, right now either keepinventory is on and death is trivial or it's off and in a modpack that either makes it unwinnable or is so soul-crushing many folks just stop playing.

Ugh, yes, this is the mod (or maybe a console command) that I want. I'd think losing all your xp and not being able to get it back would make things interesting, but I cannot play with inventory loss on, it's too loving awful.

You die. Where you respawn there is a fairly harmless looking, yet ghostly creature (perhaps a mouse? Skeleton Dog? Undead Horse?), or if you want to be more edgy, some ghostly looking reaper like spectre. I prefer the prior because its more subtle, but either-way, you are dealing with Death. Capital D. The creature asks you, for the return of your items that it spirited away, you must pay a price. Your memories (XP), Your wealth, (A coin of some kind, perhaps found or created using a process) your valuables, (Death takes a randomly selected number of items and leaves you the rest) or ask for Death to hang around while you sort something out. I think thats simple enough? You could expand upon this, perhaps in substitute to "challenging death to a game of chess" you could offer to duel and get a fight of random difficulty (to surprise the overconfident!) or earn the favour of Death by performing a certain task, say laying the dead to rest in a way that would please Death's sensibilities or building monuments and/or tombs and all that.

openblocks does something like that, and there are gravestone mods The run back over previously covered ground with less than what you had getting killed to try and save your drop is just aggravating and not fun, especially with the despawn time limit until poo poo that took hours to make disappears forever. It's just stupid and aggravating. There's no need to punish the player that hard, especially in a game that's as unbalanced as modded minecraft. I am never playing with having to do that on again. Losing XP progress would be enough, since you have to be alive to collect it and bigger levels require more work.

Not to mention that in vanilla, you're at most losing diamonds, but in modded MC you could be losing literally days of work due to a creeper or lava problem.

Well, in vanilla you can theoretically work real hard on getting a set of really good enchanted diamond gear. Dealing with the random enchantment system can take some time, even with a good xp farm and stacks of diamonds. Magres posted:Has anyone played the FTB packs Void World, Refuge, or Hubris? I'm probably gonna try em all and will trip report, but if anyone knows if any of them are horrible/great it'd be lovely to know in advance I've played a bit of Hubris. As with every tainted land-based modpack out right now, the mob cap is a serious limitation because of all the tainted mobs that don't despawn. In Hubris, the main issue seems to be tainted creepers. Other than that it's fine. It's a more dangerous modpack than Blightfall and there's dungeons with loot and stuff. McFrugal fucked around with this message at 07:57 on Aug 3, 2015 |

That said, the upcoming update DOES have a new multiblock that works fast, covers a large area, chunkloads, and can be moved around by airship. So that's how you're expected to clean the world in the end. As for Hubris, I didn't get far enough that I needed/wanted to clean up areas. I don't think there's any special reason to, as hostile mobs are set to spawn in tainted land, and you're encouraged to build a floating base that won't have any issues with taint.
