OK, I deleted everything Minecraft related from my computer. I did the following steps:
1. Downloaded the Technic Launcher and Tekkit server from http://www.technicpack.net/tekkit/
2. I ran the launcher, input my account information, selected technic from the drop down and clicked the login button. Technic was downloaded and installed. I checked mod version and found the following:
mod_IC2 v1.97
mod_ComputerCraft 1.33
mod_CCTurtle 1.33
mod_Railcraft 5.3.3
I quit game.
3. I started the technic launcher and selected Tekkit from the drop down and clicked login. files were downloaded and installed and checking the mod versions I get the same information listed above.
4. I unzip the tekkit 3.1.3 sever to a location on my computer and ran the launch.bat file. After the server started I stopped it so I can change server..properties (I added my server ip address)
5. I restarted the server and then clicked the technic launcher. I selected tekkit from the drop down and clicked login. I connected to my server and received the following error message:
The server requires you to have the following mods:
mod_IC2 v1.103
mod_ComputerCraft 1.41
mod_CCTurtle 1.41
mod_Railcraft 5.4.7
My understanding is the 3.1.3 server is the latest tekkit server files so I do not understand why the tekkit client appears to have higher level mod versions. If I'm doing something wrong please direct me to the correct procedure for getting this corrected.
