I'm pretty sure I remember being able to adjust by percentage. If that is true in the version of Photoshop you may be using, you can just set that to 50% of height or length with aspect ratio locked. However, if you're using GIMP and it doesn't offer that as a programmable function (haven't used GIMP) then the good old method of elbow grease is the best bet for making sure it gets right. Thanks for your work though, I know what a pain it is to handle that many images.

FYI, to MadMonkey, in case you don't know how: http://www.adobetutorialz.com/articles/861/1/Photoshop-Action-and-Batch-to-Resize-Images I believe you can apply it by percent too but it's been awhile since I opened Photoshop.

Cloud height should be in your video options (client-side).

Have you tried building to 256? It doesn't mean that all terrain generation will automatically create mountains and such all the way up to 256. Maybe if you modify terrain generation or use a mod to generate the world you like and then move it over.

Pretty sure unless they also (finally) release a mod API, that 1.3 basically forces people to make SMP mods instead of SSP and SMP mods. I'm wondering what the modders and coders have to say on the subject.

That's what happens when you don't sleep much this time of night ;p That's fine man, I use windows for most everything but serious diagnostics, mem testing, and troubleshooting, it's nice to know a bit of linux and have a good linux boot disk. I haven't run a minecraft server in linux yet but I have hosted plenty of website and ftp servers in it. Hell, I remember getting a laptop that wouldn't boot anything because the HD was so f-ed and I was able to load a distro of linux on it and it'd actually work (this thing was really far gone, ha-ha); it wouldn't work very well and you had to finesse it a bit but the damn thing ran. Good luck with the new OS install and don't forget to backup all your stuff. :D

They're giving server admins time to get their servers up and running (plugins, testing, migrating spawn, etc). Making 3.0.3 the rec build just means more people complaining when your server isn't running 3.0.4. From http://www.technicpack.net/tekkit-3-0-3-has-been-released/ I really couldn't believe you asked for this ETA but, to be honest, not that surprised that someone did.

Basically. In fact, I'm surprised you're able to run a server that has 6Gb installed and are running a 32bit operating system. When I tried to do something similar a few years ago my computer would try to write to RAM it wasn't allowed to (anything over 4Gb) and crash hardcore. That being said, you're going to have to go to a 64 bit operating system and 64 bit version of Java 7 to get more RAM allocated. However, if you're in a hurry, there's good news. If you have the free HD space and/or can repartition (probably on a spare since you'd have to reformat the drive), you can install a copy of linux tonight within an hour or so and run your server from a linux environment. It's a bit more complicated and may take some research but it's free ;p If not, you'll have to switch to another 64 bit OS to run the server with more RAM. If you go with linux, there's a few posts on this forum about running Tekkit from linux since some distros of linux require special handling or something. I actually dual boot into Ubuntu 12.04 LTS desktop 64 bit and Ubuntu has a server distro of 12.04 available in 64 bit. I'd try that. Good luck mate and report back what worked for you. Disclaimer (mostly for other linux people on here): I use Ubuntu because I like the interface and have had reasonable success with it thus far. I may not be averse to trying other distros but don't try to tell me your distro is the holy grail.

If it's just for friends and you don't need to worry about protection plugins and such, it's just as easy. Unzip the folder, set the server properties file, and run it. If you start using plugins like world edit and other such things, it's a little different but not much harder to pick up (just more text-based commands and certain tools may function differently if you're an op; for instance, unless you change the tool used, the wooden axe won't work because it's used in world edit, if applicable, and the compass teleports you to and through stuff, also world edit). Just launch it and give it a go. They're all in separate directories so you won't mess up your current minecraft server or client.

I don't run skype because it causes issues with my rig. However, have you ensured that you have java 7 pathed properly in windows instead of having java 6 pathed? You can also try replacing "java" with your java 7 exec "C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin\java.exe" I believe (EditL if it's pathed to "Program Files (x86)", you're running a 32 bit version which is the cause of your problems, I go into it later). I'm no Java pro but I'd venture a guess that java refuses to create a that much of a heap because it's trying to run java from path and that java is possibly a 32 bit version of java. I would check and ensure that java 7 64 bit was installed and pathed properly by windows. You can also verify this by trying to run your server with the xmx set to a gig ("1024M") and the xmx set to "1536M" (a gig and a half). If this runs, (I believe) you are trying to run the server in a 32 bit environment which has inherent limitations on the amount of RAM you can allocate to a 32 bit app. Also, by running 6Gb of RAM I'm sure it's safe to assume your OS is 64 bit, correct? Also, this page might help you with some of the minor things like how to path on your OS (possibly) and what the different things mean and how they affect your server: http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Tutorials/Setting_up_a_server If you try the above, report back with the results of each attempt, please.

Have you tried something more along the lines of: java -Xmx5G -Xms1G -jar Tekkit.jar nogui pause or java -Xmx5G -Xms2G -jar Tekkit.jar nogui pause ? I'm, of course, referring to editing the launch.bat. If you launch the Tekkit.jar or command line, you're ignoring the parameters of the bat file that specifies how much RAM should be allocated to your server. You can probably launch it command line with specific parameters that'll do the same thing (that's the point of the batch file) but, if you can run the launch.bat, I'd do that.

Yeah, get this texture pack. Go here and find the mod patch for what you're looking for http://bdcraft.net/forum-bdcraft-mods-support-patches You're probably looking for http://bdcraft.net/forum/x128x64-forestry-v1442-v06a Put the files from the patch into the texture pack the same way you'd add something into your modpack.jar (in other words, open both in winzip and drag the patch into the texture pack). In all likelihood, that's how this pack was built because I had to make my own texture pack for my modded version of Technic 7. It's not that hard but it may take a little trial, error, and testing to get it to work properly.

Well what mods are you trying to disable? Most, you can just remove from the mods folder and they won't launch when the server launches.

Get it away from light sources and use the screwdriver and shift+right click to close the eye to the lowest level. At night, there is still light and unless you close the 'eye' and remove other light sources, it will continue to provide a signal. I use mine at the lowest setting so it turns my lights on at night and when it's raining (with a NOT gate, of course).

Aside from that, Jeremy, I recommend you try to adhere to the bug report format ( http://forums.technicpack.net/index.php/topic,2797.0.html ) and provide more information on any plugins (including specific plugin versions) and changes you made to base files, if applicable. The more you can tell us about your server and the more accurate you are with your problem, the more likely we are going to be capable of helping you.

Based on this statement I believe he's talking about anyone being able to spawn items when not OPed instead of no one being able to spawn items. I'm not infallible and I may be wrong but I'm pretty certain he's talking about people spawning items when they're not supposed to be able to spawn items. If this is a common problem, I can't replicate the problem and I don't know the cause. However, I'd certainly agree with you that if it's a significant problem it should be on the bug board in the proper format.

1. It's Too Many Items. 2. Too Many Items isn't in Tekkit; the mod you're thinking of is Not Enough Items. 3. Started my server as none op and I wasn't able to spawn items in non-creative mode using NEI. When I clicked it, I got the recipe for the item; when right clicking, I got utility mode. In short, unable to replicate and I'd recommend you provide more information such as changes, plugins, logs, etc.

What's Two Many Items and how did you get normal Tekkit users to replace Not Enough Items with it without problems?

A week? Really? If I don't have a full 17/5 flower within 4 (maybe 5) days, I'm wondering what the hell is going on. When I'm playing with my girl we have at least 1-2 flowers done by weeks end and, if we get lucky, at least 1 full flower by day 2. ...wait...do you mean 10 17/5 flowers within a week? If so, and if you keep mining, it's possible but jeez, man, that's really stretching it.

Which version of Windows are you using? If not Windows, what OS and version?

For most routers: Open internet browser of choice (Firefox here). instead of a url type in "192.168.1.1" Log in. In all likelihood, you're in the general tab of your router settings.

Thanks for that, powers. I always install Tekkit clients fresh (backup and clear the directory) which I'd recommend to avoid such problems.

I don't think it's about rampant sexism although there's plenty of that to be had. I'll agree that sometimes the sexism is a big problem because some insecure prick thinks a girl can't do something as well or better than he (or vice versa) but often I find that girls don't immediately share their sex is because when someone spots a girl on the internet they start to act like idiots (not necessarily sexist or offensive but closer to petty harassment often of a sexual nature). However, considering how tame this thread has been thus far, I'm pretty sure we're ok for now.

Go into your router settings. Look at your router manual (available online, probably, at the manufacturer's website). Find out how to get to your port forwarding settings. Port forward port 25565 TCP/UDP incoming and outgoing to your computer (either by name or by the internal IP address of your computer on the network 192.168.1.x; if you can't find it, run ipconfig from command prompt). Apply the port forwarding rule. Test. Beer.

Great comic, Jay. (...but he didn't go online... ;p) I can see your point, jay, but I can't think that "there are no girls on the internet" is really as offensive as some people claim it to be. Considering the internet is a place of decent anonymity, sex included, one can't take any such reference too seriously. Hell, I'd go so far as to argue that girls are very plentiful on the internet given that most of the girls I know spend more time on the internet than the guys do, some just don't advertise it.
