  1. Yes, I really understand that. For this reason my brother does the mod installing and testing. He is from the two of us the one with java knowledge. So I do server administration and plugins because I'm more familiar with linux. But then we are just a small bunch of ppl, just friends and family. We also tried at first just to distribute the configuration files and walk everyone through installing the mods, but that was a fucking nightmare. Now we just create a modded .minecraft folder and give them out to our players. I know its illegal, but the way modding works in Minecraft it is the only practical way. They also have a premium account of course. This is also why I think that the Technic launcher is such an awesome project. They manage to mod everyone's client without actually distributing minecraft.jar. It is obvious that because of this certain mods reach a much broader audience then when there wouldn't be an easy to use installer.
  2. He refers to Tekkit, so my guess is that he can't use logistic pipes.
  3. Isn't it quadruple? I mean if it is supposed to mean 32 x 32 pixels and 64 x 64 pixels?
  4. I'm not sure what you mean with awkward. You need to be able to specify the right colour in the bundled cable if you want to do something with it. Redstone signals can only be turned on or off and can't look into inventories as far as I know. You can code names to item id's, but the computer can't 'look' into chests without additional items that already have that function (like a redpower filter or regulator etc). It is supposed to act like real computers. Your computer can't look into a chest either without the help of specific peripherals. Think of the machines in minecraft that you control with your computer as peripheral equipment.
  5. We tried DNS pack before my brother took up manually installing the mods we currently use. We also tried it because it has Forestry, because we love that mod. But there are a lot of bugs (Certain mod not showing recipes in NEI, id conflicts, id differences between client and server that make players be kicked out of the game etc) with that modpack and he updates it to new versions (also server) about every week it seems. Throwing out mods and putting different back in with new problems. It is a good effort but doesn't even come near the quality of the Technic/Tekkit pack. It is far more rewarding to learn to install mods yourself. So that if Tekkit doesn't provide the mods you really love, you can try and add them yourself. Or build your own modpack like that.
  6. Can smoking kitties be called a fetish?
  7. I'm going to start a protest outside the court to ban kitty smoking. It shouldn't be allowed!
  8. You can't win you know and you will only get more angry because at some point you realise that you are entertaining us. Why not have a nice drink, pet a kitty or smoke some good weed. Or mix that up if that is your thing. There should be ppl who try to smoke kitties I expect.
  9. That is the whole point of signing something. You provide additional information about yourself. Just signing your post here with your forum name that is already visible next to your post , is redundant and therefore plain silly. Just so you know, the technicpack creators are not the modders. So I'm pretty sure that you never donated to them, otherwise you would have known this. There is no donation page for the Technicpack creators as far as I know.
  10. So you sign your e-mails with your e-mail address? And your internet provider doesn't Helen Keller you for it?
  11. Oops I misread. You disabled the backup script? I'm not sure what you mean with that because Essentials was still trying to run it. And if it tries that, it also disables level saving. It is better to turn the backup option into a comment (using # in front of the line) in Essentials config file if you want to temporarily disable it.
  12. It looks as if Essentials can't find your backup script. It should be in your main server directory. You might want to give Essentials config the complete path to your script and make sure you provide the exact filename. Also, are you running two plugins that start world backups atm? The following line is not from Essentials I think. It also disabled level saving. 2012-08-11 22:09:12 [iNFO] [backup] Started Backup...[m EDIT: I suggest you find some time to put your server unavailable to the players so you can get this to work first. Your level saving was disabled quite long according to the console.
  13. He doesn't need your world seed. He needs your external ip adress and you need to do some port forwarding in your router probably. My advice is that you look up some basic minecraft server setup guides.
  14. Where is the exit command? Could be that Essentials needs the return value to turn on world saving again. If world saving isn't turned back on, it could explain why your server can't keep up and crash. To be sure you need to provide a server log. I don't think I can help you with the script error. The array looks to be ok.
  15. I think you need to provide more information and post an error log for this. Also to state the obvious, if you copied a script and it required you to edit it for own use, then check what changes you made. Maybe copy your script to pastebin and a provide a link to the original , so we can see what you changed.
  16. Thanks for this! Im still using a 32bit Windows 7 for the pc that runs my client, because Im too lazy to reinstall this pc and I can only play without memory problems using 32x texture packs.
  17. I don't see anything wrong with that, assuming that your world has that name. Is that used in a backup script? Also, are you looking at the right line for the error? Btw, Essentials backup just lets you launch a backup script that you need to provide yourself. So you don't have to make a cron job or something. It also disables world saving until the script is finished so the script can backup files that otherwise would be in use. Installing Essentials just for its backup functionality would be quite overkill.
  18. I like most of the yogscast tekkit videos. Especially find Sips and Sjin funny. And I agree, the yogscast vids about Tekkit are not meant to be mod spotlights. Even Duncan isn't that good, he clearly is learning the mods on the go. But maybe he wants to show the errors on purpose. Anyway, if you can prevent falling asleep during Direwolf20's vids, you can learn a lot about the mods in Tekkit. He also has a decent tempo in building and gives great tips.
  19. We run tekkitish server (our own modded version but generally same mods) on Ubuntu with 7 players with 1Gb allocated. But it is a machine that only runs the server, nothing else. It doesnt even run X server. We had some mishaps, like overflowing chests at quarries that ppl forgot about etc that caused the console to spam the 'cant keep up ' msg, but this was resolved easily. The server runs 24/7. We only run a few plugins though, which could make a difference.
  20. I don't think that Nether Ores needs 64 bit java. Maybe you meant that it needs java 7.
  21. We use Residence so the owner of the residence can control if blocks can be placed/used by others. Also user specific flags. The only thing I haven't found a solution for yet, are handheld items like philosopher's stone. For example if I would build a jail (from Essentials) out of cobble, they could turn the cobble in the ceiling into sand with the philosophers stone and still get out because the sand would fall down. Using basalt or something prevents this, but I rather would restrict the use of EE items except for the owner, in residences.
  22. You need to disable world saving before the backup starts so the script can backup those files. Then turn it on again after the backup is done. This can be done automatically through screen commands (if you use screen anyway).
  23. If you are already using Essentials plugin, you can use the backup function in it. It can launch a backupscript and you can set the interval for the backup. I don't know what is best, I just try to limit the amount of plugins we run.
  24. Direwolf20 can be quite boring with the way he talks, but he explains mod items very well and knows how to use them. His redpower2 mod spotlights really helped me understand redpower 2 items.Let's play Season 4 is also very informative, but he uses a lot of SSP only mods in there. I find the Yogscast entertaining, but they are too slow (and sometimes quite noob) to use as guide.
  25. I agree with John West. I have no experience with VPN servers. But on our simple notebook that we use as dedicated server (cleaned out Ubuntu, just minecraft server, nothing else is running). We only allocate 1Gb for 7 people. Then the amount of mods, which restrictions on using those you put in place and which plugins you use can influence it heavily. I mean, we don't have to try DynMap plugin with every option enabled in our setup. This server is 24/7 on and runs not exactly Tekkit, but a vanilla modded minecraft with great similarity to Tekkit (couple more mods). To give you a better idea, we use the following plugins : Essentials, Group Manager, Vault, Residence, McMMO, MobArena and DeathChest.
