The MafiaScum Minecraft Thread - AllTheMods 9!!! - NEW Vanilla?

[blake5135]

There are no more solar panels.

[Maestro]

oh yeah and apparently M ... quit admin

If that stands, I'll give the next modpack a shot.

so after all this, it's just me you have a problem with?
on a personal level now, just because of one comment I didn't mean to be taken seriously?

this isn't me trying to be bitchy (and I'm not saying you think it is, Maru, I'm just clarifying)
I just want to know where we stand Rob, since I've apologized and I don't know what else to do at this point

for the record, if several people had a problem with me why didn't they say anything before?

[Maruchan]

^^

when you gots problems with peoplez, tell emz.

[Maestro]

or if it was about what I said today...seriously? I've explained the situation, which everybody only heard about from Rob when were both very upset at eachother, didn't have any context for, etc. and I've apologized...I just don't understand how seemingly everything I like about being here in this Modded Server could get fucked up so wonderfully in this short span of time, and I don't really honestly understand how it all seemingly became my fault that it's fucked up as much as it is at this point

Maruchan, If this ever gets made, Add it.

FIRST OFF.....BOW DOWN TO ME

Second....chill out. Everyone is banned from this thread till I post again.

Hey guys, who likes to play Survival, and likely on Hard? I would like to play with anyone who does. And exploring caves.

[izakthegoomba]

Oh my god, you guys...

And no, Izak does NOT count. He is NOT part of the community. He was 3 months ago. He isn't now. I can't remember the last time I saw him in-game or on IRC.

I stopped playing frequently on the server both because of the future restart, and because of my own time constraints. I stayed active in the thread and (timezones allowing) in admin talks. And I always intended to come right back the moment we had a stable world again. If the other admins really think this warrants me getting kicked out then fine, I've pretty much had enough of this anyway. But I think it's slightly ridiculous.

Also, still in effect because this isn't the aforementioned post you need to wait for.

That post was made when I was particularly angry, both about the IC2 decision and a separate issue not related to the new modpack. Take it with a grain of salt.

[EspeciallyTheLies]

All you need is BOATS.

[izakthegoomba]

Rob, if you really think the game can't be played without IC2, ask dappyscroo about it. He's done just fine without touching IC2 on either of the SMP worlds he's played on, and aside from UUM, you can't reasonably say he was lagging behind, or getting any less out of the game.

[Maestro]

izak, Rob's assertion is that HE can't play and have fun without IC2...

[izakthegoomba]

Rob, have you TRIED playing without IC2? It's not as bad as you think.

[Klazam]

he's willing to try, at least, that's what he just told me on irc.

[Rhinox]

guyssss


No problems from me on the new proposed modpack. I'll miss thaumcraft only because of my super magic never breaking grafter... *sniff* I'll miss Xycraft in theory but not really in practice and theres no debate to be had here anyways.

I didn't use IC2 at all I don't think so it won't really affect me being gone. I can understand why others who use it primarily would be upset though. But really, some of the comments ITT are . Sure, I'd be sad if BC/Forestry was gone instead. Thats what I know and use and it'd be an adjustment. But you know what I'd still play anyways, because I play on this server specifically FOR the community involvement and not for any one particular mod or way of playing.

New mods: bibliocraft is cool I've seen a little bit of the display stuff on M's laptop server. And secret rooms too! Not sure about tinkers or the other ones mentioned but I guess I'll watch the vids at some point.


I haven't always been Maru's biggest fan in the server administrative sense, but I 100% back the current existing admin and mod team for this server. Maru has far exceeded my expectations for accepting community input for how he wants to run his server. IIRC, the first iteration of this server, maru put together his own modpack, posted instructions on how to DL and join, and that was that. People played, or they did not. Now, we have a whole committee that has been discussing what the new mod pack will be for weeks, with the community's interest in mind, trying to give us the best possible experience they can. This modded server is now more a community server than it was ever intended to be or ever was in the past. M, izak, and klaz are great mods. There is no one that has posted in the past week that I would support taking over. (except for Tbone, he's cool). I don't have a problem with anyone here personally, but to anyone posting "its me or them" ultimatums, don't let the door hit you on the way out.

And as I am one of if not the longest active playing community member here, my word is, naturally, law

[dappyscroo]

Hey guys, sorry for the long absence. There've been a lot of long and rather emotionally charged posts recently, so I'll try to keep this short and sweet.

1) I stopped playing on the server because I found out about the impending changes. I didn't want my work to go to waste (again) and I've always intended to come back in force once there's a stable world to play in. I love FTB and I love SMP. I've been playing SSP (FTB Ultimate) for the last couple of months (like every night for several hours) but it's just not the same as hanging out with you gorgeous people!

2) I do not play with IC2 at all. I did in the first few worlds I played and then I realised that there were other, and for me at least, more interesting ways of doing things. That's just my style of playing though and I know it won't suit everyone. I love building massive and totally improbable Rube Goldberg style machines and IC2 doesn't lend itself to this. Which brings me to point three:

3) RedPower 2 is absolutely essential to my FTB experience. Most of it is extremely cool and almost impossible to do any other way. However, the redstone logic is beyond cool and totally impossible to do in any other way (well unless you want 95%, timewise and spacewise, of every build to be taken up with vanilla redstone circuits). The omission of RedPower 2 is almost a deal-breaker for me. I know Maru's made up his mind on this already, so I'm faced with a very difficult decision.

Hmm....

[Maestro]

dappyscroo, the reason the decision was made to nix RedPower2 was not because of ANY fault in its content. The fault lies with the Mod author, who is unreliable and has not released a build for 1.5.2 at this point in time. With the timetable drawing ever nearer, and the server issues as they were/are getting worse, we can't and shouldn't wait on a single MOd to have a stable server experience. It's as simple as that.

I'm aware of Eloraam's elusiveness, but I think it's unfair the way she's being pilloried by many people. The mod is awesome, and I'm sure there will be a new release at some point when she has enough time to devote to it -- which is nobody's business but her own.

In the meantime there is a perfectly working RedPower 2 version for MC 1.4.7, so what I don't understand is why we have to go to MC 1.5.x.

However -- I've been having a think, and it looks like a combination of ComputerCraft (with MiscPeripherals) and MineFactory Reloaded will allow quite a lot of complex stuff to be done. Anyone know if computers/turtles can properly read MFR rednet cables in the way they can with RP2 bundled cables?

[fuzzybutternut]

Runic dust mod is pretty cool.

[izakthegoomba]

Runic dust mod is pretty cool.

Indeed.

I'm not sure how capable the MFRL RedNet is at all at this point in time - have you been checking out the MCForum thread?

cc should be able to read them, yes. I can help with the programs.

Currently scheduled events server shiz:

Saturday, May 18th at 9:00PM - Crown Conquest
Sunday, May 19th at 7:30PM - Survival Games (aka Hunger Games)

New!

Monday, May 20th at 9:00PM - Community Play in MineZ. This will NOT be on my server. Server IP will be given in IRC on the day of.

All of these events depend on exactly when the new server launches. Because I predict that no-one will come to any event scheduled immediately after server launch, once the new server launches, all events afterwards are cancelled. On a similar note, because the server launch seems to have moved up quite a bit, I no longer plan to schedule any other events over the following week.

Server IP: 74.111.11.149:25565
