I should have also said, so I'll try out the vanilla one till then.

I normally play SP. Any guidelines on separation, like 200 from spawn etc?
Is it survival or creative? Allow mode switches or not? Some of the screenshots look like flying.

Thanks, it worked but I hit a snag. I knew the internet connection in China was bad, but didn't know it was this bad -- keeps disconnecting all the time

. Guess I'll have to try when I get home.

I thought about digging some gravel because I needed flint at the time, but ended up going out to build a starter home. Still need the flint, and haven't found any large gravel deposits in the wilderness -- figures...

The hole is pretty impressive, I've never taken the trouble to remove that big a cube before. It definitely has possibilities.

davesaz · Post Post #16864 (isolation #6) » Fri Sep 05, 2014 9:34 am

That second one is mine. Not too hung up on distance to the neighbors. Forgot the signage.

I decided that I wanted an underground path back to spawn, so dug a tunnel at y=50. Came across the stairs that go down from the forest to a cave. Don't recall whose sign is on the double chest, but I put a sign on the tunnel. Feel free to use the tunnel, I plan to expand it to a 3x3 railway eventually.

davesaz · Sun Sep 07, 2014 11:29 am

I took a long walk on the modded server to look for some sugar cane. Ran across a place where a volcano and mesa are right next to each other.
Let's see if I can figure out how to post an image here...

Yup, that works good. Maybe I'll remember to turn the UI off first next time.

I assume that jungle path is on vanilla?

davesaz · Sun Sep 14, 2014 12:39 pm

Didn't mean my post to sound like there was something wrong.
If it was modded, I've got a jungle right next to me so was going to save everyone the walk.

davesaz · Mon Sep 15, 2014 6:21 am

I was thinking the OP is fine as it is, didn't seem cluttered to me at all. But that's largely a matter of preference.

Putting the whitelist in the OP means that you have to edit it there, and it's harder to get edit authority to multiple people. Google docs might be a better approach because you can designate other users as editors more easily.

Another potential fix to both the OP and whitelist info is to use the wiki, if that fits in with the overall wiki rules. (I haven't looked at whether the wiki allows non-mafia related content)

davesaz · Mon Sep 15, 2014 7:07 am

Using the wiki hinges on allowing others to edit. Some wikis take a dim view of others editing a personal page, but again I haven't checked the rules.

davesaz · Mon Sep 15, 2014 2:57 pm

Kinda makes me wonder how Mojang's ownership is held pre-acquisition. Maybe there is a lot of corporate debt that gets paid off?
What will be really interesting will be to see if the other Mojang projects take off.

The scary thing is what happens if Microsoft takes over the API aspect. Sure it's good to have people who specialize in that, but I hope the end result isn't as complicated as the other MS APIs.

davesaz · Tue Sep 16, 2014 8:59 am

Anyone know what the floating orb of light is? It shows up on radar as a mob, and if I get close it starts shooting what looks like energy zaps, which don't seem to hurt. Though with armor stats maybe I just don't feel it. Maybe some Thaumcraft thing?

Also I occasionally see a little critter with a backpack. That's probably Thaum too?

davesaz · Fri Sep 19, 2014 6:35 am

What, you can place jungle wood and cocoa will grow on it?

davesaz · Sun Sep 21, 2014 8:17 pm

There should be another set in my grave in the end, if I manage to collect it.
I hadn't tried to use a jetpack in the end before. Figured shooting arrows at the thing on top of a tower would take forever, so I jetted over there to use a sword instead. Big explosion, so I guess it wasn't the greatest idea LOL.

davesaz · Mon Sep 22, 2014 3:02 am

Ditto for the nether bees, unless you fancy being on fire.

I can't even use all the power from an almost minimum big reactor. But I'd be /in for contributing parts of a basic setup to a community area for startups.
Tesseract is a power teleport thing?

davesaz · Thu Sep 25, 2014 4:18 am

I was familiar with some of the mods, unfamiliar with others. The approach I use is to start with a vanilla-ish setup, explore the mods as I have need for them, and pick something to tunnel once safety and comfort is ensured.

Some of the "discoveries" I've made are definitely going into the set of mods I use in SSP, for example Tinker's Construct hammers, excavators, and lumber axes can replace/augment Railcraft tunnel bore and things like Treecapitator/Timber. And digital miner from Mekanism is replacing Buildcraft quarries as my favorite way to go from just barely enough ore to swimming in the stuff.

And definitely take the tour, it's amazing. Made me feel like a grasshopper and I've been playing almost exclusively modded since 1.3.x. But also inspiring me to new heights which is something I never got in SSP.

davesaz · Thu Sep 25, 2014 6:11 am

Any rare bees from the chest? If there are enough of us into bee breeding we might want to exchange drones or excess princesses.

I'll probably delve into genetics machines eventually. If anyone doesn't want to go in that direction and has excess drones cluttering up storage, just give a shout or drop them off.

davesaz · Thu Sep 25, 2014 10:06 am

The cherry blossom area is my place. I'm ArchReplicator in game, and charlie1103s is there with me too.

davesaz · Sat Sep 27, 2014 6:22 pm

Really, putting it next to a bookshelf fills in blanks? There is one aspect which is a catch-22, discovering it normally seems to be impossible because all of the items/blocks/mobs which have the aspect also require later aspects to unlock. I'm thinking it's perhaps flesh related? I ended getting by the block by combining aspects on the left research panel.

Looks like the aspects have no research points, so it will still be necessary to look at stuff with thaunometer to progress the research.

davesaz · Wed Oct 01, 2014 12:14 pm

Charlie was wondering what's up with all the cows.

davesaz · Wed Oct 01, 2014 7:19 pm

I had an interesting trip through the wilderness. I found a "villager" with a name Madea Havelock (?) who said I was not skilled in the art. Given the cackling sound and stonehengy feel to the building, I'm guessing a witch. I did end up with mandrake seeds in my inventory, but it was in a slot that I would have thought something else was in before. Don't know if (she?) traded me for it or if I just misremembered what I was carrying.

I also found a tainted region and got attacked by a purple sheep. Got a tainted goo drop for my trouble.

Along the way I also found a giant village on the boundary of a swampland, with spruce wood (?) buildings. Very dark motif, that was. They have a huge chasm running right through the village, which probably makes life interesting.

davesaz · Thu Oct 02, 2014 2:47 pm

Greatwoods with cobwebs sometimes (perhaps even always) have spawners. This is true in overworld too.
Mining world is only natural mob free.

What about Railcraft admin anchors? Those don't require anything for "fuel".

Rudimentary CC script to control a big reactor

Place a big reactor computer port in one of the side blocks of the reactor (same rules as reactor controller).
Place a CC computer in front of the computer port, so that the port is on the back of the computer. (note, you can choose a different orientation by changing the wrap() call in the script.
Pull the script from pastebin
Run the script. It will do the following:

Sample energy stored
If energy stored < 9M, set control rod 0 to 0%
If energy stored > 9M, set control rod 0 to 100%
Repeats until the reactor is turned off

Limitations: currently only works with one rod.
Caveat: Not necessarily very clean code. My primary language is not Lua

Whoa, was that from placing it, or trying to sleep?
Guess the bricks aren't explosion proof.

davesaz · Thu Oct 16, 2014 7:11 pm

Pretty cool. Looks kinda like the mining world though, not much in the way of height. And I think I recognize the giant fenced in area and the buildings.

Can you replace out the maps to display anything, or is it pegged to the ones it is built from?

There's a reason EE2 was remade; looks like this has all of those reasons. Not to mention rebooting / remaking mods, even with the author's consent, irks me on a higher level. If they wanted the mod to continue (and since it's their ideas that should matter to you) they would consider continuing it themselves.

I'm confused. Am I reading the implication correctly that there is something in EE2 that you were happy it was gone in EE3?
I found EE3 useless and would be interested in looking at an EE2 lookalike / remake. But I'd also be open to discussing the pros and cons.

davesaz · Sat Oct 18, 2014 11:40 am

Probably since I never played anything but SP, and most of that on peaceful, I'm not really concerned with what others might do. Things like the transmutation tablet were nice to have in SP because I wanted one or two of a thing that it would be hard to get normally, and I didn't want to just cheat it in with NEI.

I think it's rather silly to be sitting on half a billion cobble or 100K iron or 40K porkchops, so I'm not the type to set up one of the automatic thingamajigs (holy crap, spell checker knows that word) like a laser drill or auto spawner.

Edit: but I have no problem with others who want to do that.

But I totally get your position. I think the key in any community of players is to find a mix which maximizes fun all around, and if something is seriously unfun then we should consider not doing it. I took the same approach to the comments that mo creatures was a bad thing, sure the bunnies are cute but block breaking hostiles are not my thing and I can see why others wouldn't like them.

davesaz · Sat Oct 18, 2014 11:41 am

BTW, what's a nether star? I bought one on minebay after someone mentioned it, but don't really know what to do with it. lol

I'm still at the 30-40 regular chests level, and a barrel is a big thing... lol

Maybe I'll do an ae system and a big base move for kicks. Need to try something new.

davesaz · Mon Oct 20, 2014 4:59 am

Nice dome, ETL. But I was getting used to warping to your place and then jetting off the side to explore new lands.

Guess I can still do that by going down a couple levels.

Anyone have a entropy ore block I can borrow? Not the shard, the block. I need one for digiminer. Found a nice mid ocean spot to mine from, where nobody is likely to be affected by the taint if any develops there.

davesaz · Mon Oct 20, 2014 8:30 pm

Turns out digiminer got some entropy ones even though I didn't filter it. Maybe they're all the same block id with different "damage" values.

davesaz · Tue Oct 21, 2014 11:26 am

667 mods available for 1.7.10 according to MCF Mod List.
This is way beyond the point it was last time I looked. I was using 1.7.4 for a little while and had dropped back to 1.6.4 because so much was missing.
That was several months ago.

davesaz · Wed Oct 22, 2014 5:14 am

Here is a summary of the 1.7.10 availability of the mods in the current server.
I also noticed a few extra ones which could be interesting. Thaumic Energistics allows putting aspects into a ME system.
Portal gun is the most significant "function" mod which is missing. A few "flavor" mods are missing, in particular the biblio support for extra wood.
Many beta versions and a couple of important ones are listed as unstable, for example biomes o'plenty.

Spoiler: list

davesaz · Wed Oct 22, 2014 5:18 am

Multiworld allows old saves to be imported as a dimension. I have not tested this to see how well it works.

But I'd also be OK with starting a new world where the active players are on an even footing.
You'd probably

still

leave me in the dust but at least it would be closer.

davesaz · Wed Oct 22, 2014 5:28 am

Forestry is listed as "development" in the mcf modlist. I'm going off that list, so mods may be available but the authors did not report them. And the beta / unstable markers could be outdated.

davesaz · Fri Oct 24, 2014 9:28 am

I think he saw your HEXAKILL comment and thought it was someone in the game but invisible.
Don't think he even knew the IRC existed.

davesaz · Fri Oct 24, 2014 9:53 am

What's that extra life thing?

davesaz · Wed Oct 29, 2014 6:49 pm

I have downloaded all the 1.7.10 versions of the current pack mods that I could find, and the instance launched OK.
Next step is to tweak the configs to be a little like what we have now, and then I can try to gen a world.

davesaz · Thu Oct 30, 2014 5:14 am

The enhanced portals can be run via computer, and can use dialing devices like Stargates. So we'd only need one portal each significant location if we wanted to use the dialed method. They run off RF energy so a central energy source might be a good thing to repeat if for no other reason than as a failsafe portal energy method. Those blocks which send energy/items/liquids through alongside the portals are cool too, though perhaps that wouldn't mesh very well with the dialed portal method. So maybe paired portals between spawn and our bases, and a dialed system to go other places. One other thing to keep in mind with open portals is whether mobs can walk through. Maybe that's configurable per portal?

Enhanced Portals and Mystcraft have been added to the test instance.

Mystcraft has changed a lot so that will take some experimentation. We also might want an agreement on limiting the number of persistent ages, to keep server load under control.

I found out that Biomes O'Plenty configs have changed format, so merely grabbing the old ones won't work. Please comment on biome wants and hates. One example is enabling a biome which counts as plains/meadow and has bare dirt, for the extra bees/magic bees hive that needs that combo. Also noticed there is a setting to control how big the biomes are. Default 4, with 6 = large biomes. It has an option to drop landmasses in the huge oceans, to avoid the 10K blocks of ocean phenomenon. What do you think about that? Alternatively, the % land can be adjusted. It defaults to 10% in vanilla according to the config file comments, which IMO is absurdly low. Sure, we need some oceans, but not tens of thousands of blocks worth. Far enough that you can't render the opposite shore is plenty for me. On a related subject, any interest in the ocean related biomes?

I think Applied Energistics has meteorites now, and requires presses which are found mainly inside the meteorites to do complicated stuff. It has been a while since I ran 1.7.x so this paragraph may be incorrect... I'm still in the stone age in my test world, maybe someone else has gone that far more recently to comment on it. If it does require the meteorite presses, we might want to up the meteor percentages, they're pretty far apart IIRC.

Well, this post is long enough, and I can't run the browser and minecraft at the same time.

P-edit: What's the reference to ep3? The enhanced portals? And how do you add intra link / follow the "intended way"? I've never done that the real way, whatever it is...

I use a lot of warp pages, for the purpose of returning to the current exploration point when I'm going 10K blocks to look for land. Doing that with portals would be pretty resource intensive. Suppose I could carry a tesseract and energy cube to charge the jetpack...

Warp books cause random nether portals that destroy my roof. ._.

I thought that was aroma related. There is discussion of random portals in the aroma thread. But I can see the chance that warp pages are involved. No mining world in the test instance so easy enough to test the warp pages to see if it happens on 1.7.

davesaz · Thu Oct 30, 2014 6:39 am

Is now an especially bad time to test?

Depends on the definition of expensive, and is that a config option? I have downloaded but not launched yet...

I'm not abandoning the current server, if that's what you're asking. Just taking a day's break or so to get over the loss of my bee breeding stock.

The testing might take months, better solid than sorry.

That was an observation that BoP lets you control how much ocean. I personally don't like when I hit a place that can't be crossed on one jetpack charge, but it's just an opinion.
BTW I think they made a mistake in the "fill in" generator, because using it gave me a world that I hadn't found any oceans after traveling 5000 blocks.

davesaz · Sat Nov 01, 2014 8:56 pm

Hmm, lost the connection and can't get back in. But the server is replying to !players requests, so it appears it isn't completely dead. And it still lists me as logged in.
Given it's almost 1am, maybe this is a good time to stop for the night anyway.

davesaz · Mon Nov 03, 2014 4:48 am

Hmm, that seems odd. If the ticket system provides a way to make comments on ongoing tickets, you might want to add one saying it's still not working.
Is it still behaving the same way, deleting the server.properties after you put one out there?

I would have said increasing. My scumpack 1.7 lagged until I bumped it.

If you don't already have one, I recommend pulling a backup of the modded files somewhere off the server.

davesaz · Tue Nov 04, 2014 8:53 am

Don't suppose it's something as simple as our server having received a new IP as a result of the QualityNode downsizing in October?
Though why they wouldn't have replied as such in a ticket is beyond comprehension. Maybe the downsizing affected people and nobody there to answer...

If you use mapwriter to keep the large map of all your explored areas, a directory needs to be renamed to bring the data over.
Under the saves directory, look for mapwriter_mp_worlds directory. Inside is a directory with the old server ip and port. Rename this to the new server ip and port.

For those Thaumcraft enthusiasts who haven't seen one, there is a hungry node at -1691, 674. These coordinates are outside the threshold where it starts pulling you in.
Approach with extreme caution, a jetpack was not enough to get away. I only escaped via having a warp book in my hotbar.
Flying by with the jetpack, I did manage a close enough approach to view it with a thaunometer, but don't dawdle.

It's rather fun to lure hostiles toward it and watch them hang in midair being damaged a point at a time until destroyed.

davesaz · Sat Dec 13, 2014 7:39 pm

Regarding ETL's tree farm pausing... Also mentioned by Aphix, who was talking with Oso in chat

Oso mentioned checking the chunk boundaries in the chat. I noticed the harvester sweeps one way and then back the other. Say the chunk to the right is in the harvester's chunk and the chunk to the left is not. When it sweeps right to left (stopping in the next chunk) and there are no trees left, it pauses. A tree grows on the right, but the harvester does not pick up on it. Then after a few seconds it wakes up and starts running again.

My tree farm is entirely in the same chunk, including all 3 machines and all the saplings/seeds. So moving the setup to be within a chunk may help.

davesaz · Sat Dec 13, 2014 9:21 pm

Anyone know what this purple liquid on my ceiling is, or how to clean it up?

davesaz · Sat Dec 13, 2014 9:54 pm

I did have that worry.

Doesn't look like taint, neither waila nor thaunometer even see it. I have visited land with taint and both of them reported things like fibrous taint just fine.
I did have a couple of infusions go wacky on me, have now started keeping my jars a bit more full than necessary for a given infusion.

davesaz · Fri Dec 26, 2014 6:31 am

Comments on the list in the google doc.

I'm playing with roguelike in 1.7, or something that looks exactly like it. Don't remember how I found it.
Does carpenter's blocks pressure plate have a plate that mobs don't trigger? That's what I use obsidian plates for, not the looks.
Mystcraft and enhanced portals are listed as alternative for warp book, but the expense is very high (bordering on too high) unless intra-linking is enabled.
My test pack has both ComputerCraft and OpenComputers. Nothing preventing both from being there to let folks use whichever they like for a given task.
That said I have not used Open Computers yet -- but it's pretty early in the world (a few days game time) and I don't know which one is going to be better.

I found meteors for the AE press parts pretty quickly in my test world, but no silicon presses in 3 meteors so far. We might have to trade/gift extras or create spares to get a full set. This is not an issue and I know it's common knowledge for some, just mentioning it because others might not know.

I use voxelmap for radar and mapmaker for large scale map, neither is listed on the sp4 page. One of either journeymap or dynmap used to lag me to death on SP, is that fixed? Does journeymap have mob radar like voxelmap?

davesaz · Fri Dec 26, 2014 6:38 am

Will nether ores be included? Didn't notice it on any of the lists.

davesaz · Fri Dec 26, 2014 8:28 pm

I use warp pages for two main purposes, going between fixed known locations (which portals can replace easily) and to jump back home from random locations or to mark a temporary spot while exploring and jump back to it later (which doesn't work for portals at all). On SSP I can address this 2nd need by teleporting to waypoints. An intra-linked mystcraft link book might provide a reasonable alternative, though using a link book in hand drops it on the ground which makes it a less desirable solution.

davesaz · Sat Dec 27, 2014 8:08 am

That's a link modifier thing along with intra linking, right? Like I was saying, supposing we can craft the link modifier and use it, it might be sufficient to have that.

I'll give it a try in my test.

The odd smeltery thing with disabled metallurgy ores is even a problem on the current server. I think TC is doing something like enumerating classes with "ore" or "ingot" in the name and including smeltery stuff for everything it finds, whether enabled in worldgen or not. There are other dead ends when a mod includes something as an ingredient in a recipe but the recipe for that thing is disabled. The modders could collectively fix this problem by adding an "isEnabled" method and using it to determine whether to add recipes and when to use alternative ingredients.

The thing I use metallurgy the most for is the tartarite armor for huge durability, and the ability to mine obsidian with any of the tier 3+ metals without wasting diamonds on a pick. Either reason can be replaced with the high end stuff from one of the other mods.

davesaz · Sat Dec 27, 2014 8:25 am

Re: Jackel's comment on OpenComputers. CC computers forget what they were doing when the chunk unloads / reloads, so you have to put in an autorun file and program it to start from scratch. OpenComputers have persistent memory and pick up right where they left off. BUT, I don't know if OC even has a turtle equivalent, have not gone that far yet.

If CC is the one that sticks (which seems to be the case), then we probably want a chunk loader peripheral. But I don't know if it's even updated, not on the mcf modlist. I also added a peripheral mod to the suggestion list.

davesaz · Sat Dec 27, 2014 9:03 am

It's mostly a thing for turtles so they keep doing what you asked them to when you leave them branch mining or building something in the boonies.
My day job is disaster recovery programming, so saving the state or writing it so the state doesn't matter is a given, when I bother to take the time to do it.

davesaz · Tue Dec 30, 2014 1:00 pm

I have not seen kelp do that, but haven't tried to run a boat over it.
Crossing coral with a magnet is active can be annoying, as you'll pull up tons of unattached and otherwise useless coral.

Agree with no sludgepit and wasteland. Would like at least one marshy biome to get the associated bees.

Haven't played enough with steppe to know what the issue is.

davesaz · Fri Jan 02, 2015 4:15 pm

There is a vanilla 1.8 server listed in the 1st post. Don't know how much activity it gets.

davesaz · Sat Jan 03, 2015 4:23 am

Platform = win/linux/mac? No, all should be able to connect, but you need to be whitelisted.

davesaz · Sat Jan 03, 2015 4:24 am

If platform = vanilla / modded you can be whitelisted for both, no need to choose just one.

davesaz · Mon Jan 05, 2015 4:20 am

What's your criteria for good?

I might be able to be online Saturday but it depends on what part of the day.

davesaz · Fri Jan 09, 2015 6:38 am

I haven't had tons of time to do testing, so it's going pretty slowly. I'm doing SSP, and haven't reached any of the tech stuff yet.

Iron seems a little more plentiful than before.
Coal looks like it's seriously down from SP3. Maybe just unlucky though.
Tin and copper are way down but that's to be expected with trying to limit oregen to one mod per ore.
If tin and copper are really this scarce, then bronze will be a bottleneck. Not saying that's a bad thing, we need a bottleneck now and then. The plentiful amounts in SP3 were crazy so maybe it's just by comparison.
Diamonds may be up slightly from SP3, or I might just be luckier this world.
AE grinder is acceptable for early ore doubling, and the pain of having to stand there holding down the button is a good motivator to get some kind of power running.
Was yellorite nerfed compared to SP3? I haven't found a single vein yet.

As a more controlled study, maybe I'll go NEI in a digiminer and find out the actual numbers. The sample sizes from strip mining may not be big enough to be accurate.

davesaz · Fri Jan 09, 2015 9:35 am

sp4 (not counting dense ores)
prairie biome

diamond 273 (equal)
gold 461 (up slightly)
iron 1702 (down slightly)
tin 647 (up some)
copper 790 (around half)
yellorite 427 (about 3/4)
coal 848 (way down, less than 1/4 as much)
osmium 867 (down a little)
ferrous 197 (less than 1/2)

sp3 numbers for comparison
diamond 258
gold 305
iron 2080
tin 440
copper 1315
yellorite 559
coal 3808
osmium 961
ferrous 62

The server is crashed with a tick loop. ETL has to go to classes, and it may require mcedit to remove my capacitor bank to fix it.

Don't use Mekanism universal cables. They *may* be the source of the lag. I had no idea, sorry folks.

davesaz · Wed Jan 21, 2015 6:16 am

Update on the lag issue. Things were smooth as silk until I jetpacked over to M's place.
Back to clock rewinds and block lag the moment something there chunkloads.
My best guess is the conveyor belts. Possible but unlikely (and very annoying) would be the ender tank.
Other than that, I don't know what else in that base might cause tick issues.
Oh, just remembered there is a twilight portal. Again unlikely and would be annoying.

davesaz · Wed Jan 21, 2015 7:57 am

I'm only reporting observations and making educated guesses. Don't take that as blame please.

/cofh tps results went from 20 tps @ 23ms to 12 tps @65ms, the moment your base was even in view (and therefore chunk loaded).
Turn around and walk away, wait a few seconds, and the tps jumps back up to 20 @ 23ms.
No block lag when out of chunk loading range, immediately noticeable block lag when in range.
The experiment was repeated 3 times.

I was also able to use an arch ship when not at this location, but got hit by a world reset (boated 500 blocks, reset took me back to the starting point!!!) when I jumped in a boat and tried to leave that location via the nearby ocean.

Pedit: the info is on irc too, but if you're not logging it there is no way to know if you have the info.
Again, reporting information and making educated guesses. I'm a systems guy by trade.

davesaz · Mon Feb 09, 2015 5:48 pm

EnderIO item filters, especially the advanced and mod versions. I'm finding them to be fairly powerful, though it doesn't compete with wireless access to the ME network. Though I suppose the "Ender IO" capability that the mod is named for might handle that need.

davesaz · Sat Apr 18, 2015 10:11 am

I've been playing more on single, with updated mods that let salination plants work, etc.

Also disabled instability on my single instance, because it's so over the top. Though I haven't actually done mystcraft on that world, was too busy pushing my mekanism forward given the working salination.

I did jump on the server and stop my tree farm so some of the 2M stored wood can be worked off...

Question: Have you rolled a new world on modded in the past if it gets stale for people, or update mods and keep going?

davesaz · Sun Apr 19, 2015 5:50 am

davesaz · Fri May 15, 2015 11:52 am

I'll figure try the Maestro/Klaz pack/server, in large part because it's different from what I've been doing. The current ScumPack (in the OP) has a lot of tech type mods, and that has been my comfort zone in the past. Playing modded with less tech will be a good change of pace.

davesaz · Fri May 22, 2015 6:58 am

I'm on ancient. We're gathering resources. I don't consider my current house as permanent, will discuss with M where the portal should go.
Just a little FYI, the spawn point is up in the air a bit on a cliffside. There is a place that the drop isn't fatal. Either spawn protect seems to be on or my client was glitching trying to dig down.

davesaz · Fri May 22, 2015 8:36 am

try the irc channel if you have issues
espernet, #KMPWarp

pedit: it didn't give me the click on link yesterday, but it does now
Also fyi the zip file won't open as a zip, but MultiMC can import it to a new instance.

davesaz · Sun Jun 07, 2015 9:35 am

Any special reason behind kicking me from the KMP channel?
And the inactivity timeout to be kicked from the server is a bit short, IMO. Best guess was about 2 minutes RL time.

davesaz · Mon Jun 29, 2015 8:43 am

Don't know what it is...

davesaz · Sat Jul 04, 2015 10:40 am

Test instance of what?

davesaz · Mon Aug 10, 2015 7:07 pm

I think we found a bug in Biomes O'Plenty terrain generation. This is on the SP5 beta, near x=z=1000
Holes in the middle of a highlands. Note the JourneyMap biome says prairie, maybe it's trying to "smooth" the biomes?

Same highlands also has an abrupt edge.

I'm more amused than worried. It doesnt hurt anything unless you get up there and run off the edge.

What is regrowth?

davesaz · Mon Oct 19, 2015 5:51 pm

Much fun to be had on regrowth.

The hungry node to the NNE of ETL's place is not your friend.
I found that by swimming along the coast looking for oysters.

What's the black structure that spouts fire at the base if you get near?

Along with oil deposits we also have a lava spout.

davesaz · Wed Oct 21, 2015 8:57 pm

Have all the pearl oysters been harvested already? I can only find one on ancient sand that takrs a copper or better shovel.

davesaz · Sun Oct 25, 2015 12:11 pm

My observation has been that SP5 has seemed to have less activity than the earlier ones I've played on, but it seems to be a confluence of RL issues taking out / limiting several of the most active players.
I jumped over to the Regrowth one because I have not played a restricted environment like that and wanted to see what it is like.

davesaz · Wed Oct 28, 2015 10:15 am

Details plz. Probably from before my time but still interested.

davesaz · Wed Oct 28, 2015 11:51 am

Yes, yours -- i'm on SP5 already.
Understood server isn't ready yet, but I was after different kinds of details. What minecraft version? Modded or vanilla?

davesaz · Sun Nov 15, 2015 10:16 am

I can't figure out how to use that companion scroll thing.
Which one is in the thaum suit? Guess it's you since camera is looking at you?
Also I hadn't noticed that goggles reveal nodes even in the "camera facing you" setting.

davesaz · Sat Nov 21, 2015 10:05 am

I found a mariculture bug on regrowth.
If you right click a hatchery with something other than an empty hand, it puts the item in the hatchery -- even if not fish eggs.
I lost a diamond tipped alumite pick.

Breaking the hatchery does not give the item back.

davesaz · Sat Nov 21, 2015 9:45 pm

Jetpacks and other modes of flight are one of the biggest reasons I play modded.

davesaz · Sun Nov 22, 2015 5:56 am

davesaz · Tue Nov 24, 2015 6:27 pm

I think if there was any issue with the update rate, it would be that it was too slow. Though I do understand that it impacts some more than others and agree that we should not leave players behind because of updates.

If the desktop has a decent graphics card it will run better than a laptop with low end integrated graphics, even if the laptop has a faster CPU.
Also memory matters, Java is a memory hog and the garbage collection messes with FPS pretty badly.

The philosophy part is easy, and I don't mind if everyone knows where I stand personally on it. We're here to have fun, provided that fun isn't at the expense of others. Give people access (with possible exceptions i.e. do we have anyone identified as blacklisted??) If a malfunction or actions of other player(s) causes unreasonable damage, take reasonable steps to help fix it. It isn't a candy store so we're not handing out free diamond gear etc. except as replacements for legitimate losses. Not as much need for helping folks with setup on vanilla, but on modded it's important.

davesaz · Mon Feb 01, 2016 3:26 am

Vanilla & SP5 are ok now. Havent tried regrowth

davesaz · Thu Mar 31, 2016 2:59 am

Yup, it's due to the username change.

There are files on the server which is username based. ETL had the same thing happen when her userid was hijacked.
On my SP instance I can find directory saves/worldname/playerdata/ with files ArchReplicator.baub, ArchReplicator.thaum, and stringofhexnumberswhichprobablymeansme.dat.
It should be possible to recover the baubles and Thaum progress by renaming the files on the server. If the hex userid changes too when the visible changes, then we'd need to know the old and new hext uid numbers.

Do you have the rest of your inventory, aside from baubles and Thaum?

Don't know if the above method can recover quest book stuff. ETL recovered hers by gifting herself the ingredients and trashcanning the resulting loot.

Edit: hardcore questing has a directory, with players.dat file, but that file is binary and I don't know the format. Could figure it out by perusing the Java, if it is open source, but hard telling how long that might take. And it might use the hex number string as the index in which case we'd still need to know the old and new hex strings.

davesaz · Sun Apr 10, 2016 8:57 am

It's not as memory intense as some packs in the past, but Charlie's instance kept hanging during "baking" until I bumped him to 2gb. It was clearly thrashing garbage collection.
Don't know if resource packs take more memory than standard.

davesaz · Sun Jun 19, 2016 4:36 am

I'm up to 3.5 now for the max, but I was trying to be gentle to the folk who don't have the hardware for that.

BTW that extra half gig shaved about 2 minutes off the MC startup time. Bumping Charlie from 1.5 to 2 took off at least 5 minutes. Apparently the loader is a memory hog.

I have been trying various 1.9.4 modpacks on the curse client to see if there are any mods to get / avoid. Figured it would not be productive to give you info before your class lightened up.

davesaz · Fri Aug 12, 2016 1:39 pm

We have progress. I've managed to put a pack on the Curse client. It isn't the SP6 modpack yet, but it does work.
The advantage of this method is that the mods get downloaded and installed by the client and the configs are updated when you choose the pack to make an instance.
It's also pretty easy to check mods for new versions and update a local copy of the pack for compatibility testing.
Most of the mods have updated since the beta server was started, and there are even some which have been newly updated to 1.9.4, brand new mods, and a few unofficial ports of oldies but goodies.

I'm now updating my test pack to match an upgraded version of ETL's list, and checking out the mods in the suggestion list for compatibility.

davesaz · Sun Aug 14, 2016 4:25 pm

Server now running the ScumPack 1.3.1 file which can be found on CurseForge and the Curse client. Project link

davesaz · Tue Aug 16, 2016 5:09 am

Yes, you're whitelisted. Right now it's a test world and we'll eventually need a clean one, but it would be a good idea to see if the pack works for you.

davesaz · Tue Aug 16, 2016 11:58 am

Custom configs are downloaded via the Curse client and inserted into the instance if you run it that way. The client looks like it uses a list of mods and downloads them from their own projects.
We'll also need to make the full pack available the old way. That would need to contain both the mods and configs.

davesaz · Tue Aug 16, 2016 8:26 pm

The method of updating on curse is easy. Duplicate instance, go mod shopping, playtest on ssp, publish. The old way the shopping, download, and publish are all separate and manual tasks. But that's just my opinion, I only offered to try to do it this way because it was something new to do that

might

be helpful. (I didn't even know Curse / CurseForge were useful in this way until someone mentioned finding mods there...)

BTW do y'all like the idea of using the curse client? I don't know if ETL wants to factor that in but it can't hurt to ask.

davesaz · Wed Aug 17, 2016 8:54 am

SoL is not client side only. It changes (on the server) how many bars food affects your hunger if you eat it more than once. Diminishing returns etc.
After playing a couple days with that enabled, I don't like it at all. Would need 3-4 stacks of food to go adventuring. Yeah, that would up difficulty but I can see people starving if they're not used to it.

davesaz · Wed Aug 17, 2016 8:56 am

Dynmap was turned off on the server to see if it was causing lag. I turned it back on after M asked about it in irc.

davesaz · Thu Aug 18, 2016 4:58 am

Removed.

davesaz · Thu Aug 18, 2016 5:18 pm

davesaz · Sat Aug 27, 2016 7:07 am

Getting curse installed with the minecraft plugin can trip folks up, but beyond that point it's fairly easy. The only sticky point is if you want to use a different launcher. For that case, someone installs via Curse launcher, then saves the mods and configs folder to a zip. Upload zip to somewhere it can be downloaded from and post the link. The player wanting to use the other launcher starts with a new instance with the right minecraft and forge levels, and adds in the mods and configs folder, same way we used to do it.

davesaz · Wed Aug 31, 2016 3:45 pm

Thanks ETL!

One thing I think would help us a lot is to get some additional community feedback on desired MC level. Here is how I would characterize them:

1.7.10 -- Mostly stable, still has lots of mods which haven't been seen on our servers yet, but some people may feel it's a little stale.
1.8.x -- Vanilla was ok but modded never completely came together because 1.9 came out before most of the modders had adjusted to 1.8. I don't think this is an option worth further thought.
1.9.4 -- Has some important new vanilla content, and some new mods which didn't exist in earlier levels. Some 1.7 standard mods are replaced by (at times not very good) knockoffs made by people who got tired of waiting. Some mods don't play well together but it's possible to put together a pack of 50-75 mods that doesn't crash all the time. Current server is on this level and has some performance issues.
1.10 -- Newest version, more important new vanilla content, almost all the new mod development is on this release. There are some exciting new ideas we could try. Can be quite unstable and updates are happening really fast. Don't know how it would perform on the server.

In terms of how long it might take to get going, we could try a fresh world on the current 1.9.4 pack in just a day or two, and see what the performance does (I have not reviewed configs since I thought ETL was doing that...). It would be possible to make a 1.7.10 pack which would essentially be upgraded SP5 with selected additional mods (or requested new ones) in a week or so. If a lot of people want to be on 1.10 then getting a set of mods that work well together might take up to 2-3 weeks. If you don't mind playing for a few weeks and then switching to what we ultimately want that's an option too. And another option to fill a few weeks might be to run the server on an already existing well-known pack that enough folks can agree on. I don't think we can please everyone, but I also think it's important to have a good player base because a hopping server is a fun server.

Bottom line is, I'm volunteering to get something going but I kinda need to know what you want.
I'm probably not the most mainstream Minecraft player here and I don't want your experience to be a bad one because too much is based on my playstyle.

davesaz · Thu Sep 01, 2016 12:25 pm

A minimalist quasi-vanilla is certainly possible as a 2nd option for folks who like a choice. I was even playing the old vanilla server with clientside mods on my own.

davesaz · Thu Sep 01, 2016 5:08 pm

3 skyblock modpacks are listed in the Curse client for 1.10.2. I can't vouch for stability though...

davesaz · Thu Sep 01, 2016 6:39 pm

Heads up on that 1.10.2 vanilla server, it has block lag

.
Bumping the memory isn't something I seem to have access to.

davesaz · Thu Sep 01, 2016 7:39 pm

The server is crashing with a watchdog timer (tick that takes more than 60 seconds).
This is not good. It isn't technically vanilla, ETL set it up with fast leaf decay and morpheus.
I'm gonna try pure vanilla and see what happens. If that doesn't work then it will be on ETL to bug the hosting company (or we'll have to consider other options).

Edit: Pure vanilla is working ok at least for now. The current world on the vanilla server has some interesting biomes around the spawn point, so unless it starts having problems we're good to go on the vanilla side.

Spoiler: tech stuff

davesaz · Thu Sep 01, 2016 8:17 pm

spoke too soon about it being stable

another watchdog timer thing. this has to be something with the server's computing power, unless 1.10 is basically unstable even for vanilla

davesaz · Fri Sep 02, 2016 3:58 am

On the vanilla server:
02.09 14:55:23 [Server] Server thread/WARN Can't keep up! Did the system time change, or is the server overloaded? Running 6621ms behind, skipping 132 tick(s)
with just 3 players (and it was doing this last night with 1 player!)

Is this node CPU poor or something? It is running the minecraft 1.10.2 jar, not even forge right now. Maybe multicraft is inserting something that takes a lot of resources?

davesaz · Fri Sep 02, 2016 5:14 am

Update: those tick things aren't causing much lag right now, so maybe it will be fine. We had 3 online and just a smidge of occasional lag.

davesaz · Fri Sep 02, 2016 7:21 am

Vanilla should be fine for now. Modded not so much.

About 20 blocks from my main mining stairs, I was mystified when I came to a small lava pool with obsidian on the edge, but no water in sight.
Kept digging, and kept my string of 50+ block tunnels with no diamonds alive.

Came back to the lava pool cave to see if the cave went anywhere. Turns out there was a torch on the other side. Whoever owns that hut by the lava pool next to spawn, your long straight mine ends up almost under my house over in the woods.

davesaz · Fri Sep 02, 2016 8:58 pm

minecraft id?
nm, found it, added you.

davesaz · Sun Sep 04, 2016 10:26 am

Modded notice:

I'm going to take down the 1.9.4 instance and load up a brand new built from scratch 1.10.2 pack. This will be sometime tonight, my wife wants to shop now. Hopefully this will address the lag issues, but we'll need to see what it does in a server environment. I'll post another update with the new pack link and instructions

later tonight

. Yes, that means that those in the U.S. might get a new modded server for Labor Day (and those not in the U.S. get a new server for Monday

).

For those familiar with curseforge it will appear as a new version 1.4 momentarily so you can check out the mod list and play around in SSP, but

the server has not been updated

.

If it works I'm thinking we go for broke and call this the actual reset, but don't get emotionally attached to stuff in case it blows up.
Once it's actually up, try not to build anything in about a 5 chunk radius from spawn, in case we decide to stay with it then we can build a nice hub there.

Reasonable requests may be accommodated, unreasonable tirades will probably be ignored.

davesaz · Sun Sep 04, 2016 4:00 pm

As far as I know, we're planning to keep the vanilla server going too.

Update: The SP6 server is

now operational

with the ScumPack 1.4 level from CurseForge.

If using the Curse client, in the minecraft settings be sure you have "beta" chosen as preferred release, to allow the SP6 files to show.
It could probably be "release" instead but I didn't want it to look misleading if someone other than our little clan decides to download.

davesaz · Sun Sep 04, 2016 6:34 pm

Here is a google drive folder. You want the SP6-1.4.zip file. (The SP6a.zip is the 1.9.4 pack which I'll leave out there for a while in case someone wants the world file to continue playing it.)
Forge 2076 (I think -- the latest one) for 1.10.2.

I'm up to exploring y=15 caves and no lag issues. I have not tried to automate anything yet and the only tech I've run is Tinker's smeltery, so remains to be seen if it's going to perform well.

davesaz · Mon Sep 05, 2016 9:27 pm

Hmm, that's interesting. I couldn't get the chunk loading thing to work without making a team. Had no idea it would prevent others from interacting with the area.

JourneyMap does show the chunks. I'm trying a config change to turn off claiming chunks while chunkloading is still allowed. If that doesn't work, another solution would be to put everyone on the same team or make all the teams allies of each other.

How about spawn -- how do we make it so that the spawn hut is accessible to players?

davesaz · Tue Sep 06, 2016 12:22 pm

I looked up the definition in the wiki - a value of zero can be used, it protects only the single block at the spawn point itself (probably to prevent you from accidentally suffocating people by building there). A value of 1

should

be a 3x3 centered on the spawn point, which should be sufficient. But a mod like the FTBUtils / FTBLib might also be protecting it. If the door to the hut still won't open for a non-op then we might need to do more research.

davesaz · Tue Sep 06, 2016 5:45 pm

I don't think ETL's change was in effect, as the spawn protection was set back to 16.
I updated it to 1, reset the server, and deopped myself. The door opens for me now when deopped, though that's not as good a test as having someone else.

Would you like vanilla or modded?

We have found (some of) the missing stuff on Vanilla, and the offending player, who went to great lengths to store the loot far away from civilization, has been banned.

Re-whitelisting in progress and goods that can be identified will be returned.

Map for Rhinox connection.

Welcome to the jungle!

Arch Expeditions now providing jungle access via a Nether bypass. Enter at your own risk. The route *should* be secure, but it is the Nether...

Go to the nether portal hub, and enter the tunnel to Aphix's portal.

At the bottom of the stairs turn right for the path to jungle.

When you come to an intersection, straight through please. The side turns are

NOT safe

-- they are a davroe production and appear to be WIP. (However if you know about that project this is quite a shortcut).

Continue along the passage -- it takes several more ups/downs and turns, eventually reaching the jungle portal.
On the other side your adventure awaits. The portal is in a safe room in case you arrive at night, the rest is up to you.

From the youtube, looks like in a nutshell it's build structure, tape down right mouse button, profit!

I'm not sure why, but my bobber doesn't rise to the top fast enough to make the afk fish farm (outside my back yard) work.

davesaz · Fri Sep 30, 2016 8:19 am

No matter whether the door is open or closed, it immediately reels instead of doing empty right clicks on the door. Are you aiming at the door block behind the water, or at the door above the water? Neither one of those worked for me...

davesaz · Fri Sep 30, 2016 3:19 pm

Ugh, it's forge

I guess I can have two profiles, one for afk fishing and the other for normal...

davesaz · Fri Sep 30, 2016 3:54 pm

The afk fishing works when forge is not there. Getting rid of all my client mods didn't do it, but taking out forge made it work.

Due to the extreme memory requirements and hellacious lag, there are only 3 or so people who have played at all on the 1.10.2 modded.
I'm thinking about downloading that save for davroe and minniepanda (if they even want it), and putting up a 1.7.10.

Any objections to that? Would more people be interested in a modded which works?
Any thoughts on modpacks? I'd be fine with just picking something that has mods that most people have liked in the past.

davesaz · Thu Oct 06, 2016 3:08 pm

Instructions on the new pack are in the OP.

davesaz · Fri Oct 07, 2016 5:11 am

Iguana's Tinker Tweaks being added to modded. Download can be found here, use the release level 2.1.6.

what are the issues caused by not replacing config?

davesaz · Fri Oct 07, 2016 10:05 am

Please post the crash report.

davesaz · Wed Oct 26, 2016 4:07 pm

davesaz · Thu Oct 27, 2016 11:50 am

Before the main menu? That might be a borderline memory issue.

davesaz · Sun Oct 30, 2016 7:33 am

Can you start a SP world? If it starts then it's less likely that this is just a case of not quite enough memory.

davesaz · Sun Oct 30, 2016 3:05 pm

Did you try the experiment anyway?

davesaz · Mon Oct 31, 2016 3:20 am

True, I did not see that.
Do you happen to remember where you were when you logged out the last time?
There are a couple of regions of chunks that lag spike upon entry. Tentative diagnosis is that it's spamming network updates to players in those chunks.

which server & mc names?

davesaz · Fri Nov 11, 2016 8:45 am

The modded server lag near spawn appears to be fixed by removing shelving units (from magneticcraft, I think).
ETL's lag in the swamp is probably from the same source. So once you've done the quest you shouldn't use those.
Besides they're reported as buggy anyway.

Bonus effect, I now have a shiny new Java profiler.

davesaz · Wed Nov 23, 2016 4:53 pm

I have the noise thing too, even though nothing actually running at the location I login from. I think it has something to do with sound system init.
Modded didn't even log you trying to connect. Not sure how to interpret that.
