the new mystcraft is awful i try to put all the pages in the right order but everytime no matter the books i get some stupid ass checkerboards land with huge ass mountains and awful biomes

[QUOTE=gottifour;39855613]the new mystcraft is awful i try to put all the pages in the right order but everytime no matter the books i get some stupid ass checkerboards land with huge ass mountains and awful biomes[/QUOTE] Are you making your books the correct way, and not just what you think might be the correct way? I thought I figured out how to make ages with the new system but they were always awful, until I looked up a step-by-step tutorial that explained it; it fixed my problem. Edit: If you create a notebook and organize the pages inside just how you want them (in the order you'd put them into the book) I think you can use that to automatically create a descriptive book while in the writing desk UI. This video should help you: [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sNSkjEvB_f8[/url] Edit edit: Another note, the "new Mystcraft system" is how the mod author has intended it to be all along, which is apparently more like the canonical Myst system. The author is pretty adamant about how the mod is [i]supposed[/i] to be hard.

Would anybody give a shit about an EarthCraft V3?

I find video tutorials rather annoying to follow, 'specially if it's just a general overview of the mod rather than a concise explanation of a particular mechanic.

[QUOTE=ralle105;39855321]Maybe it's because, you know, it's version 0.1?[/QUOTE] Then it shouldn't be included in a modpack, in my opinion. Yes, I understand the argument that having the ores already generated in the world will save you the trouble of map resets or needing to explore, but that still boils down to 'trust me guys this mod is totally gonna be something you want to have someday'

When do you guys think they are going to update the FTB mods for the upcoming Minecraft update?

The mod was bad to include at first when it was decoration-only, but they included it then because they intended it to be updated fairly fast with the first few blocks, and more are on the way, being worked on already. As with Gregtech, you can simply remove any mods you don't like from a pack, that's why the pack modifier even exists within the launcher. [sp]Also the ability to be inside a tank full of lava, entirely harmlessly, is fucking amazing[/sp]

[QUOTE=Fhenexx;39856786]When do you guys think they are going to update the FTB mods for the upcoming Minecraft update?[/QUOTE]That is entirely in the hands of the mod authors whose work makes the packs. I wouldn't put money on them being all ready earlier than a month after release of 1.5

So is the new minecraft update going to completely fuck over FTB? If I just don't use my vanilla minecraft launcher, can I keep playing the current version of FTB?

[QUOTE=Loofah;39856956]So is the new minecraft update going to completely fuck over FTB? If I just don't use my vanilla minecraft launcher, can I keep playing the current version of FTB?[/QUOTE] FTB uses it's own directory, you can update minecraft and continue playing FTB just fine, even if you install FTB after you update Minecraft.

[QUOTE=Loofiloo;39856956]So is the new minecraft update going to completely fuck over FTB? If I just don't use my vanilla minecraft launcher, can I keep playing the current version of FTB?[/QUOTE] You'll be fine. FTB will use 1.4.7.

What are the main differences between RP2 and BC3, in terms of what you can do with them?

I'm building a large enclosed space-station, and unfortunately it seems any enclosed area that isn't lit up like mad spawns an absolute shitload of bats. Any way to turn them off or get rid of them?

You could get that and turn everything off, and also turn bats off. Or you could light up the area.

Enjoy this poem by one of our resident creeps: [img]http://img855.imageshack.us/img855/333/ohdearchrist.png[/img] The guy who wrote this is like 12. "Greensweets" is like 19 and a girl he's never met before in his entire life.

So im trying to get the Plus Sigma mod working through the tekkit launcher. However everytime i try to copy paste the link and push add modpack is just freezes. Help?

[QUOTE=Fhenexx;39859301]What are the main differences between RP2 and BC3, in terms of what you can do with them?[/QUOTE] BC3 gives you pre-packaged machines that do stuff while RP2 gives you different components to build your own machines.

This is a WIP dieselpunk texture pack i'm working on. I need some opinions. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/KhWS1QX.png[/IMG] The idea is that the entire world is a floating machine on wich you survive. I need a good idea of what gold could be. I'm thinking lighweight machinery, or some kind of material used in advanced technology. But i dont know what. Neither do i have a good idea for lapis or emerald. Could anyone help me out? Also, rust or no rust?

Say, I just crafted a new map to help me explore my world, and my main map in the central region seems to have glitched out; it's completely blank and won't record anything as I move around. Never mind; just had to quit and go back into the world; that fixed it. Ok panic over.

[QUOTE=MeltingData;39865094]I don't have a damn clue what any of those blocks are supposed to be.[/QUOTE] The wire's are redstone, the batteries are coal, the curcuit boards are iron used in more advanced machinery and diamond is supposed to be some kind of plasma used to power super-tools. I am probably going to have to write some kind of guide to what all the things are supposed to be. Especially if i decide to make a lang. file renaming everything.

No idea for the gold, maybe some pistons or I don't know. Rust for the mossy alternative. And to help for the recognition, make each ore have a specific color. Make the batteries more black, the redstone red, the diamond blue-tinted and the iron more orange.

I have a question for anyone who might be well-versed in mystcraft. I've tried making several worlds with nether fortresses (and hell biome, so nether monsters actually spawn), but when I'm running around in the fortresses, I never seem to run into any wither skeletons at all. Anyone know why? There are still blaze spawners, and they do spawn if the light level gets low enough. But no wither skeletons anywhere.

Ahh.. I feel like Minecraft is getting extremely boring, actually. :/ I will always remember the good ol' times in alpha. Today there is no more excitement, imo. You know how to survive, you know how to build nice things and you know all the crafting recipies. There's nothing more to look forward to, such as before when you had thoughts like: -Ooo, wonder how minecraft will look like in Beta! -Cant wait for the full release! -I wonder how the next update will look like. -So this is Alpha? I wonder how Minecraft will look like in 2 years Minecraft is fully released now. I'm speaking of course to the people who saw the Minecraft 2-3 years back. I'm not trying to offend the game, this game is still extremely great and is still my favorite game. Cause I still play Minecraft for some reason, It's like I'm attached to it. :P Also, here's something me and my friend built about 2 months ago. Took us 4 hours to build :D [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/tHYnq5n.jpg[/IMG]
