MacGyvers_Mullet posted:What specific runtime strings would you recommend? I've tried several different ones and they had a negligible effect on performance. I can get used to 1.7 as long as I don't boot up any 1.6 packs for a few days, but if I dip back into 1.6 to play my old Agrarian Skies 1 map or something it's staggering how much worse 1.7 runs across the board. If you want to have journeymap enabled you need to disable caves, and go into the advanced options and raise every delay by a ton for whatever reason. Even then, sometimes it will cause minecraft to run at 0-1 fps while you explore. And it will definitely tank your fps down to like 40-50 if you have a base and mine out a ton of stuff near it even with caves off. Like if you're in the same base for 40-80 hours journeymap alone will wreck your fps. It won't be the machines you built, it will just be that dumb minimap mod. People always say it's the webmap, but webmap on or off doesn't impact my fps at all. I can literally run a 200+ mod server for 4 people + minecraft on my computer and get relatively normal fps in minecraft, but if I have journeymap on and no server we're going down to single digits eventually. I like journeymap's functionality, but until that is fixed I just remove it from any pack that has it as soon as I find somewhere I want to build a base at. It might just have a bad interaction with one of the more popular mods, but it has happened to me in a ton of different mod packs. For whatever reason it just goes nuts and dominates my cpu.

Mr Scumbag posted:Thanks. But it still has the problem of requiring energy bursts per teleport. It resulted in hitting mining lasers and infinite power, before big reactors even existed, in a ridiculously short amount of time. And then I'd get bored and play something else but that probably says more about me than anything else. Never ending teleport is convenient at first, but it really does diminish the game in short order. I guess limiting sethome to 1-3 per user or something would be legitimate. And you can do that in its config. I suppose there's some kind of balance between those commands and requiring a bit of power and some resource investment is probably that balance. One of the UE mods had teleporters for a while, but they had really lovely requirements: limited range and same world was awful, required both chunks to be loaded at some point after server restart - by far the worst, and they took power. The power thing was actually no big deal because it wasn't a continuous drain just a drain per warp, and you could refill them with batteries/energy cubes/that kind of thing.

Ghostlight posted:Anybody who suggests that not having a crafting process for the processor set integral to the mod is fun and interesting is literal blockhitler. EnderIO conduits are great for it, and you can later put an interface and an import bus on the chest from your eio automation system. The worst thing is probably fluix crystals. They are clumsy even while automated so any block that does those is great. The pure seeds are fine, you can grow stacks at once unlike the fluix crystals, and they automate easily once you get accelerators up which should be immediately. Meteors are fine too once you learn how to use the compass and dig down. I hated on meteors before but it was literally because I didn't know they could be underground.

Ghostlight posted:How do you automate the crafting process for something that literally has no crafting recipe by default? For inscribers:  Set one up for each press, dump materials in the chest, have each conduit properly routed for each component. It will pull them from the chest and autocraft them. And at the end you can return them to the same chest or put them in a different chest if you want. The 5th inscriber the bottom is the silicon, the middle is redstone, and the top is all of the unfinished processor components. I use acceleration cards in them, but that comes later. For crystal growth:   Use something that drops the item in, I used an open crate from botania. On the bottom use a transfer node with a world interaction upgrade and an item filter with the finished components. For channels: Channels are actually fun and awesome. Disabling them seems pretty silly unless you really hate learning them or building cool networks/grids that require a little thought. It gives you an excuse to use all the colored cables too. Nonsanity has a good channel video on youtube here. It doesn't spell out the practical applications for you, but at the end of the video and with a little tinkering yourself you should have a great grip on channels and why they are fun and cool. Sub networks are also really powerful for things like DSUs or storage bus arrays. You can put endless things on a single channel on your main network if you set it up properly.

Speaking of AE2, I keep having a problem where an interface attached to a tesseract stops importing items. I have plenty of open drives that it is normally going to, some of the items that get stuck even have very empty DSUs with storage buses in my stem, and after it happened once I put it on its own line just to make sure it wasn't some weird channel thing. It's also not system power, because I added a Dense Energy Cell and it never dips. I don't get it. It seems to happen randomly. To fix it I can just break the cable attached and reattach it. I also had an import bus stop working on a machine earlier similarly. Ghostlight posted:Sorry, I was referring to this step: Except fluix crystals. I just queue up a craft of 512-1024 crystals and a similar amount of dust in my system after a while, but early on even if you automate them it takes time. I would rush to automate them in the future, I think I crafted 128 by hand this build. Charged certus isn't too bad, just filter charged out of the machine and put non-charged in. Doing it by hand is fine for the first few, but for anything else it's worth it to at least put some pipes on it. Khorne fucked around with this message at 07:49 on Jun 24, 2015 |

AnimalChin posted:Is there a way to mod a server without requiring users to mess with forge? I want to run a server with a few pretty simple mods (treecapitator or similar, ruins/battletowers or similar) that my friends can easily connect to without having to deal with the mess that is forge and multiple profiles in the stock launcher. TreeAssist for bukkit/spigot/cauldron has opt-in treecap functionality and you can even set auto replant and control apple drop rates and more. It also lets you fast leaf decay, and you can turn all of the features on/off individually. It's stable as far as I know it never caused any issues on the vanilla servers I've used it on. PlayerMagnet is another okay bukket mod for opt-in magnet functionality. This one is not coded quite as well, but it works. Not sure how it would hit tps on a large server, but if it's for you and a few friends it shouldn't be noticeable. But use the technic launcher with a custom pack if you want to use actual mods. No one has to manage profiles. They just need to download technic and run your pack. There is a pipe mod for bukkit that treats cobblestone walls as pipes when connected to machines. That one always seemed kind of cool but I never tested it. I assume it is coded really poorly, but if you're running a vanilla server it probably won't matter.

Turtlicious posted:I have to add a system environment variable in Options called _JAVA_OPTIONS and then set that to -Xmx256M when I do that, FTB works fine, but it doesn't work in the Technic Launcher, so I tried moving it to 2048 which made blightfall to work, but crashed out FTB. -Xmxnnnn sets maximum memory allocation. 256M is also a really small amount of ram and no modern mod pack will run with that much. At the same time, allocating something like 2 gigs to the launcher is kinda silly. So definitely don't set an environment variable for this. First thing to do is make sure the launchers are using 64bit java as the default. Second thing to do is make sure at least 2gb of ram is allocated in the launcher options: In technic there is a "Launcher Options" in the top right. If you hit Java Settings you can see the java version it's using, the memory allocation (at least 2 GB for most modpacks), and you can set Java Args (like -Xmx but you shouldn't need to use it here because you can set the Memory option). In FTB there's an "Options" tab near the top right, and you can set the RAM Maximmum there. Near the bottom of that tab it shows the java version used in an unclear way and you can hit advanced options for command line parameters and selecting a java exe. Thankfully we're in the 1.7.x world so you don't have to mess with command line parameters anymore unless you're running a server. And Java 8 works. Yay.

It's pretty messed up if most major modpacks were setting it to -1. I don't mind the option being there, but there's no reason for that. His solution is pretty dumb too. If it's so important to so many people why not just retool that poo poo. Make them function like a multiblock or pipe network type of thing, where when you place them they chain together with adjacents so on tick it's only 1 calculation instead of n calculations.

Threep posted:And the current lead on BC recently wrote this blog post: There is actually no difference between pulsing and streaming. A time averaged look at the system is identical. If you want "pulsing" functionality for zany pipes that no one in their right mind uses anymore or bursty machines you can implement it in your mod trivially in a way where it functions just like before but doesn't mess with other mods. I don't understand how you can program a mod but not understand how to implement something like that. If other mods want to treat rf as pulsing they can implement it themselves or you can get together and write a library/api/whatever that all of the pulsing mods call. But it's not rf that is pulsing, it's your mod that is only allowing power transfers every n ticks. If you implement it on a machine level it's trivial. TE itself, and most RF mods, only have actions performed when a certain energy buffer amount is reached. That's literally the "pulsing" power system that he describes. If you implement it on a pipe level you just do streaming but monitor the power input over n ticks and if it exceeds the limit you have it do whatever bad thing you want. Or, you can sample the rf/t every n ticks and multiply it by n. If you only want them to handle a 2k rf packet over 50 ticks you literally divide 2k/50 and limit the rf traveling through to 40rf/tick. And pipes can clearly have rf/t limit because pretty much every implementation of ducts has it. Like, pulsing makes no difference at all in practice. The pipe thing is actually somewhat tricky because I'm not entirely sure what is called normally and what isn't and you don't want overhead, but old bc pipes had a ton of overhead. Implementing it on an engine level means you just output a set rf/t... like all rf generators/engines/dynamos. If you want them to heat up or whatever they output less rf/t. It works the same drat way as packets. It's like he doesn't understand the math behind what he is trying to do. Note that I actually liked BC engines unlike lots of people here. And I like BC for the most part. It was hilarious when my combustion engines exploded because I added 2 extra and the water feeding method I used couldn't keep up with the extra two engines. I even like BC item pipes and all the pipe mods for different types of pipes. I liked planning out little networks with those. I like logistics pipes too. But, that post just doesn't make sense.

StealthArcher posted:http://blog.asie.pl/a-tale-of-joules.html The entire point of my long post was that a continuous system like rf and a packet system look identical in a time averaged view. And because of that you can make them function identically with some clever programming. Like literally identically. 500 rf every 50s (10rf/t) is the same as a straight 10rf/t. Anything you can do with one you can do with the other. You don't need to actually implement literal packets to have the same functionality as packets. I tried to use explicit examples in the previous post that were like old buildcraft before rf. I get that he can't implement them like old bc implemented them, but that's probably a good thing given bc's performance issues. They could still be implemented differently and achieve the same result. I also agree that not everything has to be rf. I actually would enjoy a power system that takes more planning. Current modded mc is approaching project E tiers of boredom. The only cool thing is AE2 channels, but even those are kinda pointless because there's very little to do once you are post scarcity.

Rocko Bonaparte posted:A temporary diversion from vision chat. I can't figure out the whole storage bus->interface->molecular assembler thing in AE2 for keeping basic levels of items in play. I want to figure this out since it seems more efficient than level emitters, which take up a lot of space... and channels. I get the basic idea. The interface should generate a draw on the storage bus when it is out of a designated item which will cause the storage bus to try to pull one, triggering autocrafting from a pattern. Or something. If you have the interface setup for crafting there is no need to specify anything in the interface's interface except recipes. There's no need for a crafting card either. And there is no need to attach a storage bus to it. You should put a crafting card in the export bus that is requesting the crafted item instead and allow your buffer chest or the block's interface to fill up with things from the export bus. I'd highly recommend this method if you want a constant supply of an item for something. For example, I just straight export bus redstone/cryotheum/glowstone/ender pearls into magma crucibles. I just straight export dark steel balls into SAG mills. If you have an interface setup as a storage buffer/chest, you set the number of things you want it to hold in the interface's interface and it will request those from the network until it holds the desired amount. This requires a crafting card if you want the item to be crafted in the network. You can then attach a storage bus to the interface and it will treat the interface as a chest and provide its contents to your network. The big takeaway is if you are stocking items in an interface it's pretty much a chest that the network can stock and anything can interact with as if it were a chest. This is primarily useful for high end materials that you will only ever need a stack or two of for crafting and don't want to setup level emitters for, or for keeping a spare set of super nerd armor in stock, or you get the idea. The third thing is if you attach a storage bus to an interface with nothing in it the network with the storage bus can view the entire contents of network the interface is attached to. This is how sub networks work and making a ton of storage require only 1 channel works. Khorne fucked around with this message at 18:41 on Nov 7, 2015 |
