  1. It's not exactly BoP, BoP picks the place for a village and moves it if it can't spawn properly.  The bit I'm unclear on is whether the other mods looking to attach to that point in the village now get a null pointer, and that's the end of it, or they do successfully move the village with BoP but then spawn in an impossible location.

  2. One question - deleting the chunks in MCedit doesnt seem to have fixed the issue with that area, avoiding it is fine for now but is there a way i can resolve the issue there?

    Village generation isn't identical every time (especially not the bits that cause this kind of problem) so it might take a few goes.  Try removing the chunk again, there's a chance that it'll screw up every time it generates, but there's also a chance it'll be fine (the chance will vary depending on the area).  If it's a bad chunk anyway there's not a lot of harm in removing it each time you discover that it's bad (once it generates properly you'll never have to do it again).

  3. It does mean you could have a massive amount of power output going down a single cable though.  You could feed 10 tesseracts 50k each and have a single line on the output able to provide 500k before it starts to run dry (25 maxed out laser drills and only a mere 6,250 dynamos for power generation!).

     

    EDIT: To clarify what that would actually be useful for, you could have a single line of conduit from a tesseract running to all the machines and have a very small and tidy machine room without having to hide wiring underground/in walls etc.

  4. You could simplify it with each thing you didn't need - if you didn't need remote access to the spawner (you were ok with walking up to it) then you can do away with most of the itemducts and the two spawners (as you can get close enough to switch it between exact copy: on/off).  That's more than half of it gone right there.

     

    To perform all those functions though it's pretty straightforward.  There's not a lot of room for improvement in the simplicity department for what it is.  Which bit are you struggling with?

  5. Clever question, I hadn't thought of that.  I just tested it though and it does behave the same way - the one link to the tesseract bottlenecks things on the input, but interestingly it doesn't seem to limit it on the output.  There's not a lot of gain and a fair bit of risk, I'll need to run it through some proper testing but it definitely seems that way right now.

     

    The TE multimeter has two modes, input rate check and network saturation.

    • Network saturation is checked by using it on a conduit with no connections, it reports what percentage of input (from all sources such as dynamos and cells) are getting stored in viable outputs (like machines and cells).  So long as it's under 100% the conduits aren't limiting you, you've got enough outputs to handle everything you're trying to input.
    • Input rate check lets you know how fast energy is going into what you're checking, per tick.  Use it on a connection on something like a redstone furnace and you'll see how much it's using up (the redstone furnace only uses 20RF/t, there must be something else that also uses 20RF/t on that same connection if you're getting a reading of 40)
  6. Start by copying that folder somewhere else just in case anything goes wrong, then you can go ahead creating another world with the exact same name.

     

    Minecraft should begin rebuilding, but detect all of the old data as it does so and use that where it can.

     

    If it doesn't work (if it crashes or something while doing that), please post up on the Tracker (there's a link in my sig).

  7. I think that sometimes people just hate that we've got the magical power to fix stuff magically by snapping our fingers at them, but we still insist on our old rituals of having the logs.  Not only that, then we have the audacity to tell them to do stuff about what's in the logs!  Only then, after we've humiliated them by making them jump through meaningless hoops do we click our fingers and fix it.

     

    I can see how that could upset people ;)

  8. You can find out what kind of graphics card you have by following the instructions here: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-nz/windows/video-cards-faq#1TC=windows-7

    Once you tell us that, we can tell you if it'll have any problems.

     

    Other than that, the 2.8GHz Pentium D is roughly equivalent to the 1.66GHz Intel Atom (the old D's single thread performance is a little better, but it's an 8.5W chip vs. a 95W chip, gotta cut the atom some slack), so it's always going to struggle on the CPU side a bit.

  9. I had one on the tracker who refused to provide any logs once, I listed a bunch of things that could be the problem - a lot of things as without a log there's no way to narrow it down.  Amongst the few dozen options there was hidden things like;

    • Remove a bird that is stuck in the cpu cooling fan
    • Plug your computer into a power socket

    Not only did the guy not try any of my earlier suggestions or say how he was struggling with them (which would've got a log which we could work from), but he said he'd done all of the stuff in the list and wanted more suggestions. :D

    Some of the stuff should've been impossible, and I'm fairly certain that if this person had read my list they'd have realized something was up.  The list was only intended to demonstrate that simply trying to fix the problem by trial and error would take months at the least (and also to entertain myself - if I'm not spending my time helping someone and I'm wasting it, I'm at least going to waste it enjoying myself if I can).

    I am using 32-bit java, but why would that matter?  Most computers are 32 bit, not 64.

    Having other stuff running at the same time is fine so long as you can afford the RAM and processing time, 32-bit java can only support 1GB RAM, and this modpack uses anywhere from 1.5GB to 3GB without any texture packs - once you run out, you'll slow right down.

     

    With very few exceptions (mostly low power computers like intel's atom) all computers since 2004 have been x86-64 compatible.  If you have 8GB RAM, then you probably have a 64-bit machine and installation of windows, as windows could only address a little more than 3GB total in 32-bit modes.

     

     

    Edit: Now who's jumping in front of whos posts, Kalbintion? :D

  11. Awesome, glad you got it :)

     

    Sometimes people ask for help but then just ignore us, I was hoping that wasn't the case and you'd just missed it.  I'm sorry I was blunt but that seems to be the quickest way to identify who's actually worth continuing to spend time trying to help.
