  1. What about customizable turtles. You can simply right click different parts with dyes to paint them. Would you mind being slaughtered by a diamond sword wielding turtle sporting a badass rainbow color scheme? :D
  2. You have a strange sense of balance my good sir.
  3. Well... you wouldn't, my point was that you may only have one attachment on at a time. The durability bar would show fuel level instead of charge level. You would not be able to charge it seeing as you do not have anything that needs charging on the armor piece. (i.e. no shield, no electric jet pack). You seem to think that the suit would remain unchanged save for a few extra upgrades. That is not the case. It's protection would be lowered from 100% down to 90% (on par with redmatter and gem) seeing as diamond and dark matter are at 80% damage reduction. There would be NO shield unless you choose to forgo the other upgrades for that one instead. You're in luck then! Jet Packs have finally been fixed in the most recent release of IC2. Pressing the mode switch key while ascending will also now correctly switch you to hover mode (were you ascend and descend slowly and harmlessly). The bug were, if you move the jet pack back into your inventory the charge bar would fill back up, has also been fixed. Jetpacks now maintain the correct amount of charge. Finally, feathering your landing now does much to reduce fall damage, so no more random deaths from landing on pillows. :P
  4. Is the server lag free without the computers present?
  5. TMI is not in tekkit, that's NEI. And that's exactly what NEI does, show you the recipes but does not allow you to spawn the items unless cheat mode is enabled by the server. Press 'O' to turn on/off the interface. Press 'R' while hovering over the item with your cursor to see the recipe. Press 'U' to see recipes the item is used in. You can change these key bindings in the controls menu.
  6. The crash bug with advanced machines has been fixed for awhile now. I'm not sure what you are talking about. Could you provide us with some more info Op, like what is in that chunk?
  7. Remember to place a pump filled with tin cells next to your miner to suck up all that lava covering the diamonds. The miner won't dig through liquids. Also don't forget to place a chest next to both machines for the items they collect.
  8. So you are using a texture pack, but there is a bug in the texture pack. So, wouldn't it make more sense to report this bug to the author of your texture pack?
  9. I don't even... I mean... what? O.o Are you... like... trying to hire someone to write you a plugin?
  10. If that is the case, you would adore ThaumCraft2. This mod is in the technic pack since it's only ssp, however the mod author stated that once the API finally comes out he will work on the smp version.
  11. Both Redpower and IC2 use the Fore Ore Dictionary. Check your server config settings.
  12. There is nothing I could say that has not been already said about EE2. The mod simply runs at a different pace than the rest, and thus can suck the fun out of those other mods. The only thing to do really, is hope for a better tomorrow. From the small amount of information that has been leaked about EE3, it sounds like the player will feel more like an alchemist than a magician. Also, EE3 is hinted at being open source. The mod author, wanted others to learn to mod the same way he did, by looking at other people's work. That also means we will be seeing a bunch of cool add-ons for EE3 that could parallel the amount already made for buildcraft. Edit: Sorry, I should have sourced my information. All of this comes from a conversation with the mod author during one of Direwolf20's server play videos.
  13. I'm not sure I totally agree with you. The goal here is not to make the quantum suit on par with the EE armors (both a bit stronger than diamond). The goal is to make the quantum suit a more fun and enjoyable piece of armor to use and strive for. The point I was trying to make is that each piece of the quantum set provides it's own unique ability (speed, great leaps, scuba gear). The chest on the other hand only provides invulnerability, and while useful, isn't very fun nor balanced to play with. By allowing you to join already existing backpacks to the quantum chest at the expense of the personal force field, it adds a bit of strategy and risk/ reward back into the armor. I usually always forgo the chest piece in favor of the Jet or Lap Packs as they are much more useful on a day to day basis. The shield, however would be vital in pvp situations. Think of it as a sort of armor lock from Halo Reach. Limiting the user to only one attachment at a time is a fun balancing factor for the quantum set. P.S. As to your question on the fuel gauge, it would be the same as the durability bar for the electric jet pack upgrade. You fill items with fuel in the Canning Machine. Fuel can be made from either coal or plant matter, and you can fill either fuel jet packs or fuel cans for use in the generator.
  14. I propose a trade off system with the chest piece. It should have a base defense bonus around the level of diamond in addition to a few optional upgrades. The four attachments are as follows (Only one may be attached at any given time.): 1. Energy Shield - A temporary shield that drains massive amounts of power from the chest piece when active. Provides short term invulnerability. 2. Lap-Pack - An energy storage pack attached to the chest piece. Provides extra power for tools with the added bonus of defensive points. 3. Electric Jet pack - Grants the user the power of flight while also maintaining the basic defense of the chest piece. 4. Fuel jet pack - Similar to the electric jet pack upgrade, only without the height limit. Note: Watch your fuel levels closely, this gas guzzler could leave you falling through the air with not a care in the world. Filled in the canning machine. The whole point is to give the chest piece it's own unique ability set rather than boring old god mode.
  15. I like playing with the more obscure parts of the mods, so when I see that the owner has disabled items central to computer craft, railcraft, and redpower, I usually look elsewhere. This includes disabling scrap used in crafting fertilizer for IC2 crops. When I first join a server, I want to be able to read the rules and get to playing as soon as possible. If the wilderness is far away/ confusing to get to I'm not likely to stay. The ideal spawn, in my opinion, is a simple clearing outside of an impressive city. Make sure the clearing has boards with essential rules displayed, and any other non essentials like plugin usage, and donator ranks can be off to the side. The point is, your new players will be able to run away from the city and start playing, or spend a few minutes exploring your awesome city and then begin. You don't want to trap new players in a complex maze of rules or a gigantic city. Short login to first wood time is a must. In terms of long term retention, the only real factors are community interaction and server up time. Try hosting some server wide community games/builds, also keep a close eye on the friendliness and helpfulness of your staff.
  16. He should upgrade his os to Windows 2000, it's all the rage! :D
  17. I'm assuming you have a server up already right? IGN: warpspeed10 Age: 19 Hamachi: I don't believe you need hamachi to run a tekkit server. Company Name: WarpTech Industries - We are a tech company that specializes in teleportation technology and pink cookie generation.
  18. You need to manually switch your client to 3.1.1 in the options window on the launcher.
  19. Switching items out with their twin in the transmutation table fixes this bug. To easily reproduce this error, press sort inventory on chests. The bugged items will be picked up and become attached to your cursor until you place them back down.
  20. I was under the impression that you could dictate what blocks can and cannot be mined in the config files. I know this is the case for tunnel boars.
  21. If you're considering improving this design in the future, consider incorporating redpower frames into the design. This way it will be mobile.
