A detailed writeup/summary of mod drama might also be cool, for those of us who don't QUITE know all the details.

I don't know why I never tried it before, but apparently smelteries can be literally any dimensions, not just 3x3. My mind is racing at the possibilities, up to and including dong smelteries.

Technically, no. I have an old spreadsheet from when I was deciding what to add. Is that something special I have to put on Technic?

It would be good, yes. I want to suggest it to a friend but cannot do so in confidence without knowing what's inside.

There is a spawner under the haybale so if you have cardboard boxes you can box up that spawner and re-use it for mob drops and XP

I was thinking of whipping up a lightweight modpack to play with my 12-year-old cousin during holiday vacation (thinking ahead, I know). I was thinking Tinkers Construct and Ars Magica might be a good start. Any ideas?

Iron chests or some other big chests mod.
inv tweaks (sort chests button)
Minimap of some kind
NEI (how to make stuff)
Extra-utilities
Gravestone
Nether ores
Enchanting Plus

That's all I can think of at the moment.

Those sound very good for sure, but I was honestly looking more for lightweight, fun things that a 9-year-old (I don't know why I thought he was 12) would enjoy.

Or, I guess, a lightweight adventure-y modpack with magic stuff.

At the risk of sounding kinda dumb, how would I go about setting up some multiplayer Blightfall between me and one or two friends? I don't want to rent out a server or anything.

Best bet is one of you having the computer power and bandwidth to spare to host the server for yourself, with max 3 people, that's not much needed.

Right, but how do I host the server? I have no idea what I'm doing here.

Well I assume you know how to download it and install it.

I don't - that's why I've asked, twice now, how I would do such a thing as to set up a small Blightfall server. What am I meant to be downloading and installing? Blightfall itself? Some server utility? And furthermore, what port do I want to forward?

The server package is: http://servers.technicpack.net/Technic/servers/blightfall/Blightfall_Server_v2.1.0.zip

All technic packs that have a server download list it in the bottons on the right side of the pack page. You should be able to just extract it tot he folder you want it to run from and run start.bat or start.sh depending on OS.

EDIT: YOu want to forward whatever port it's running on, which is listed in server.properties after server starts.

Thanks! Just out of curiosity, how much worse WOULD Hamachi be? I'm not sure if I'm in a position to fiddle with ports, so it might come to that.

Glory of Arioch posted:

the main problem with hamachi is that it opens your entire computer to the guests on your network, not just one port

it'd be like they were plugged in to your router and with you at home

if you trust the people you're playing with not to try and hack your gibsons then it's fine

also you don't technically have to run a server, with hamachi (or other port forwarding) you can just start minecraft and hit the "OPEN TO LAN" button in the escape menu

however this means your friends can only play when you're playing

Excellent. Do I have to do anything in particular to make Minecraft use Hamachi's little virtual network, or will it just work?

They should be able to just type in your Hamachi IP

I called out Hamachi as bad because unless you want to pay like $25 a month, you're limited to 4 people per VLAN

Well hey, not a problem for me! And just to idiotproof things, that's the IP next to the power button icon in Hamachi, yes?

Unsure if this works, but can you "repair" it by giving it the ingot it's made out of?

They're bone+flint in this case, with the business end being flint. Giving it flint did nothing, though I didn't try the Tool Station.

Darkness mod something (makes darkness really really dark)
Hats

and a few others I can't remember.

The gently caress is wrong with Hats? :colbert:

Given that it's still listed on Technic as running on 1.2, this should be informative enough.

If you mean the startup load with the white screen and load bar at the bottom apparently there's a rendering memory leak with that screen. Use the minimize button on the top right of the window to prevent your computer from rendering it, which makes it load in like a minute

Legitimately what the gently caress do I have to do to make this modpack actually load? It's a modpack for 1.7.10 and I'm trying to get it running so that I can get on a goon server. Do I replace Forge? Run a different version of Java?

If you are using Technic, you can click on the modpack options, and then open next to the file path. There should be a folder named Logs. Should be in there. If not there, there might be a file called crash-reports that has what you are looking for.

A fine idea indeed if it were actually crashing, which it is not.

EDIT: The last thing that happened according to latest.log is "Sound Engine Started". Does that tell you anything?
