More great examples of "good form" (more quotation marks for you) and professionalism. I have tried now repeatedly to end this in the public forum. To lessen the chance of "not being here long-term." I could easily tear apart the points and comments made thus far and when I have time probably will but not in the public sphere. You staff members that have now found the need to tag team me can and should continue further discourse in my inbox. I am far from an arrogant person, and probably about as far from entitled than you know. Sorry to have presented myself in a way that my character could be so greatly misjudged. Here I will post this in normal text rather than the blocky green that I have posted with since the first post, so as not to further irritate you all or initiate the onslaught of more staff troops.

Clearly there is no point in attempting to carry on this conversation. It would appear that this has become more of a collective monologue than any sort of constructive dialog. I know all to well that attempting to reason a person out of a position that they did not reason themselves into is a fruitless endeavor.

Awesome man, I am working a 14 hour day today at work so I won't be able to swing by just yet but I will. I will also get with you via PM about IP inclusion.

I edited the "mod sass" out asap, to save myself from the inevitable ban due to questioning the "authority" here, but I suppose that depends on definition though of course, and I wa /am questioning "staff" so my apologies. I will find other avenues in the future to question questionable "staff" decisions. You or another moderator may want to edit the global rules to reference the rule that you are attempting to enforce since it isn't there at this time, or add it to the description for the Platform Potluck. (Yes there is a page on how to correctly post server threads, but not the issue you are concerned with here.) Just for reference, I don't care about when or where the server "ad" is (buried in a 10-page thread). It is posted here because I asked for them in previous posts as it has yet to be an issue here, and they are added to the modpack itself. The post here isn't about garnering popularity or advertising. Thank you for a much more helpful post that included the necessary link. It is what it is I suppose, problem "solved" at this point. I'll try to have players send me their server info via PMs, etc... to save moderation staff time and energy. Thanks, brother! ***For future reference for those that may stumble across this while Hexploring this thread, let me explain a few more things now that I have a few extra minutes away from real-life. As stated in my previous edit in post #198, I edited out what I considered to be mod-sass out asap, but of course this could be up to definition of course. Questioning any of staff's decisions could and would most likely fall under the definition of "mod-sass." Whether or not the question under scrutiny is justified and relevant or not. Realizing that this was most likely the case I apologized. Having a question of the validity of a staff member's decision, and posing an an apology are not mutually exclusive experience and do not nullify each other. Hence this was not some sort of "fake" apology as Torezu alleges in post# 205. Also worth mentioning is Torezu's complaint of my,"[F]ake concern for the effort we go through to keep the forums clean and easy to use." Umm... yes because being a modpack creator with a modpack well into the hundreds of thousands of downloads is such a rewarding experience? I am all to familiar with what it is like to be overly consumed with a "thankless" job. My concern was legitimate. I mentioned seeking alternatives/searching out other avenues to question staff referring, to PMs, etc... It was clear to me early on that with the amount of butt-hurt I seemingly generated that anything else to be said would be irrelevant to the comment/post/thread and best handled in a different format, both now and in the future. This wasn't about some sort of covert plot for reprisal, as Torezu alludes to in post #205, "if someone with some authority is telling you, legitimately, that's it's best to act a certain way, hinting at going over their head to do what you want anyway..." The legitmacy of said command is clearly in question at this point even yet but that is another matter I believe comes down to the fundamental error made early on that the server comment was merely meant for advertising purposes, but I digress... As for "doing what I want anyways..." I am pretty sure that in my first comment regarding this topic in >post #198, I instructed Hexplore-It's players to... ...And again in post #201, I said... Doing what I want would have entailed instructing players to continue on, business as usual. I am much more mature than that.

Well ^that^ sure is informative... Since when are things not related to the modpack not allowed to be included? These threads are for modpacks period. It's not like there are hundreds of server's out there for my 1.6.4 pack. This server will be included in the pack, as all have been that have been referenced and talked about in all former posts, IN this thread. If you haven't noticed this is the most viewed thread in Platform Potluck, and it didn't get that way through me (OP), and Hexplore-It's players being douch-nozzles, OR by way of heavy handed moderation. So... for future reference Hexplorer's that stumble upon this, please post your actual IP's in the "correct" thread and feel free to link to that thread here to avoid this type of "moderation" in the future. Be well. ***For future reference for those that may stumble across this while Hexploring this thread, let me explain a few things now that I have a few extra minutes away from real-life. When I first posted this I included something along the lines of "Slow down there Captain Power-Trip," or something very similar near the beginning of my post aimed at Torezu. I edited this line out before it could be seen when I realized my sense of humor probably wouldn't be appreciated, forgetting of course that the moderators more than likely have the option to view edit history. I meant, and still mean, the first line sarcastically saying the Torezu's comment was informative, it wasn't. He fixed this in >post #200 by including a link, and a reason for the comment in good moderator form. Hence why I thanked him in >post #201. I asked my original question because I was seriously wondering when it may have changed, or became an issue to discuss the modpacks development including server work, chiefly because this has been discussed in previous posts within this thread with no issue. As anyone that plays Hexplore-It knows the modpack includes Darkhax's Custom-Server mod that adds servers to the user's server list. Since I posted this 3 posts above Nefzen's server posts in post >#190... ...I assumed Nefzen was posting in regards to that. Since this type of thing is not mentioned in the >Global Rules and the only description available for the Platform Potluck is... ...I assumed this was a legitimate question. My only point in including this line, " If you haven't noticed this is the most viewed thread in Platform Potluck..." was exactly what I stated. It wouldn't have gotten that way had I and the others that post been actively partaking in douchebaggery. This was not part of some malevolent agenda. It was not about garnering any sort of popularity as insinuated in >post #205. I do not feel as though I am "entitled" to anything as alluded to in >post #208 by Torezu and in >post #209 where I was referred to as an "entitled tit" by Munaus. I'm not sure how posting a fact regarding the thread made me "arrogant" either per >post #208 but it did. Last but not least, I included quotation marks, an apparent derision to the quadrupled-up moderation staff/team tending to the thread, to the words correct and moderation. This was because a correct thread was not included in the moderator's post. Moderation was in quotations because I felt that, "There's a place for server posts. It isn't here" didn't exactly fall under the definition of exemplar moderation. I have plenty more I could say, but I will leave it at that as far as this comment is concerned. I am an extremely reasonable man and find the responses to this original comment deplorable.

Look forward to it. Hit me up if you need any assistance. I have rather limited free-time as of late. The little I get I have been throwing into work on the 1.7.10 version.

Looking good as always Amaxter! I love the idea. Hexplore-It started out along this theme but I couldn't keep it ""simple" lol. Anywho, great work as usual!

FINALLY email verification is working again and I have access to the forums again. Updates on the 1.7.10 progress and help need will be posted soon.

The v1.08b update is live. I had to push a quick update to remove the "official" server from the server list. On that note, anyone looking to have your Hexplore-It servers publicized free of charge, or partner up for another Official Hexplore-It server, hit me up. * Do NOT do ^this^ by posting server info in this thread. Per the moderator Torezu in post #197 (>since removed). PMs and/or other forums more open to development conversations should be used instead. Thank you for understanding. Any server ads info etc... need to be posted here, using the guidelines here. VERSION 1.08b >Simply removed the IP from the server list, and updated the start screen.

This pack looks great! Good work and theme!

When reporting that Hexplore-It doesn't work for you I need more info than, “pack sucks, it dnt wrk, plz fix” to help you in any way. The first thing you can do is make sure that you followed the installation instructions correctly. They can be found here, ( http://www.technicpack.net/modpack/details/hexplore-it.226213 ), seen here, or read here. For Mac: 3. Launch the launcher for the first time. 4. On the top right corner click the settings button (little gear next to the X), this is where you will want to increase the amount of memory/RAM your computer uses to run the Technic Launcher. When you click that gear a window will open called "Launcher Options" 5. Using the drop down selection next to the line that says "Memory" increase your RAM. I suggest a minimum of 2GB, 4GB maximum. Anything less will not work. If you can only go up to 1GB you only have 32-bit Java. Assuming that your computer’s operating system can handle it, you will need 64-bit Java, find that here ---> (https://java.com/en/download/index.jsp ) 6. On the left side of the launcher scroll through the modpacks until you see a + sign that says, "ADD NEW PACK" below it, click on it. 7. A window will appear that says, "Enter your Technic Platform delivery URL below to add a new pack:" enter the Hexplore-It platform URL into that box... Found at the top of the page here ---> http://www.technicpack.net/modpack/details/hexplore-it.226213 8. Click "ADD MODPACK" 9. On the left side of the launcher scroll until you have the Hexplore-It Pack selected. 10. Click PLAY, the pack will then be downloaded and installed. 11. HEXPLORE ALL OF THE THINGS! The next thing that you can do if you are still finding that you are unable to launch the modpack is provide some of, if not all of, the information below. 1. What version of the modpack are you trying to launch.2. What version of Java are you using. 3. How much RAM does your computer have all together. 4. How much RAM do you have allocated to the Technic Launcher. 5. A crash report. Preferably uploaded to ( http://pastebin.com/ ) or in between spoiler tags. 6. If a crash report doesn’t generate, the contents of your Technic Launcher’s console. Preferably uploaded to ( http://pastebin.com/ ) or in between spoiler tags.7. If a crash report doesn’t generate, the contents of your ForgeModLoader-client-0.log file. Preferably uploaded to ( http://pastebin.com/ ) or in between spoiler tags. 8. Google is your friend.

Just so you are aware the next post is not directed at you but something I ave been meaning to post that may help you as well.

The v1.08 update is live, this should fix the crashes due to 1.6.4 Forge not working with Java 8.

I just redownloaded it to test and it worked for me just fine. I am guessing you may have Java 8 which isn't compatible with 1.6.4 Forge. I am working on pushing an update that fixes that issue today. I will aim for tomorrow but not sure I will be able to get it done. All you have to do to be able to play with Java 8 is download the mod here and put it in your mods folder. http://files.minecraftforge.net/LegacyJavaFixer/legacyjavafixer-1.0.jar

Ok, so I decided to work on the 1.7.10 version some and have to admit that progress is moving much more slowly than I would like. Bug chasing and squashing as mush world generation lag as possible will be rather time consuming. That being said I am currently considering setting up the 1.7.10 version on TechnicSolder. If and when I do this I could very much use some BETA players to help with the pack's development. Anyone that may be interested in this please contact me and let me know and I will get you the necessary details as soon as they are available. I could also use some new artwork for the upcoming pack and I lack the time and skills to make it as epic as it deserves to be. Let me know if you would like to assist and I we can bounce some ideas around. As always any and all feedback is welcome. ~Bizz

Brilliant idea, great work! :D

I just switched the pack over to run with TechnicSolder. So you will all have to download the modpack again, but from here on out this will allow me to update the modpack much easier. When I release the updates you will only need to download the updated mods/configs now instead of redownloading the entire modpack, WOOT WOOT! Now I have to decide what to work on next... 1. The next update of the 1.6.4 pack. 2. The next version of the modpack (1.7.10) 3. The server (plugins, rewards, etc...) Any and all feedback welcome.

You sir, are a beast. Keep up the great work!

Ok... I hadn't uploaded any of it to solder yet, I was just using it to help with all the file structure madness, I have all the mods still so no worries. Just wish I had saved the folder that had them all ready to upload to Solder lol. It's life though. I have only recently gotten Solder up and running after almost 400 years of struggling with it for some reason (shared hosting woes.) Here is a link to the folder I ran it on. Bare in mind that this worked on the exact same folder last night, short of having to name a few files and it skipped the mods that run unarchived of course, ie... Millenaire. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/93032141/mods.zip

Well poop. When I commented this last night it was working beautifully... Today when I saw this I removed every trace of the app and reinstalled. Now when I try to use it I get this error below, wish I hadn't deleted my pack too thinking it would be right back. http://pastebin.com/KZk7XD8f

You sir are a God Mr. Zlepper! PRAISE THIS MAN! Great work!

Just a quick update... I finally have TechnicSolder up and running on my account through my web-host. I'll be working towards switching the 1.6.4 version of Hexplore-It over to be on Solder, followed by an update, and then hopefully resuming work on the 1.7.10 version of the mod pack. I plan to have Hexplore-It available on the Technic Launcher as well as the Feed the Beast launcher when the time comes for release 1.7.10. I already have the permissions needed about 95% complete. I will at some point soon be needing some volunteers for possible work on some artwork/logos for the pack. I would LOVE to use player created images if possible. Modpack Logo Required Size: 180x110 Modpack Background Required Size: 880x520 Modpack Icon Recommended Size: 50x50
