the sad thing is the guys at the MCF don't know jack when it comes to copyright law either.

I wouldn't get it simply for the cheapshot at the end of the ad.

I came to this thread with visions of beergoggles :)

when did sir asshat join FTB?

i'm sorry, are you the author of EITHER of those mods? are you a technic dev? then STFU. Again, openly free works distributed on the internet are legit to re-use with proper credit given. Permission is NOT needed.

The people too stupid to look up things on the internet from both sides to make their own informed decisions are probably too stupid for us to want them here anyway. It's bad enough the "die hards" arguing against technic that have no knowledge of facts. Let the undecideds figure it out themselves or just not come here at all.

why is this not down in the tekkit smp area? If you have 1 quarry, why so many teleport pipes? what kind of machine is the server running on?

its not worth it. technic has alot of mods that need world generation to get the blocks to spawn naturally throughout them.

the copyright protection has to be applied for though. even cases where your work is stolen and redone without credit you have to go thru the process of applying before legal proceedings can go to trial on the infringement. and if the work is freely distributed the only claim you have on the copyright capable of even getting to a trial is infringement without credit. permission beforehand is always nice, but not a requirement on freely distributed material.

310% here And yeah, my friend has the same problem on his laptop but not his desktop. I don't get it either. Had him delete all, uninstall java...reinstall java7 and then redo the technic pack. 50/50 progress so far on technic, tekkit, and hack/mine

ROFL, goahead, you're an epic failure if you think you know anything about the law based upon your post. The mods that have ALWAYS been used in technic/tekkit have been released to the public freely by the modders. Re-use is allowed WITHOUT permission. You better go look that one up since you know you're going to argue and be wrong. Freely distributed "copyrighted" material is readily usable by anyone provided credit in the redistribution is given somewhere to the originating artist. This goes for mods, codework, songwriting, painting, sculpting, graphic design, etc.... Anywhere material is given by the originator to the public for free waves their right to lawsuit based solely on re-use. As to actual copyright itself. The modder would have to actually apply and pay for the copyright and wait thru the process before any attempt to persue a lawsuit can begin. You don't automatically get copyright protection. As for the whole "modifying code" bit, yes that is against the mojang TOS and YES forestry DID modify actual MC code. And THAT is breaking mojangs copyright. If you want to come on here and try to claim anything, make sure you're correct and have facts first. Otherwise go back to MCF and troll with the stupids.

is that /setspawn and /spawn in the dev build only? I've been trying to use it on my server and its not work. Build 1.2.3 H/M 0.5.3

they sucked for the most part. I can't believe this subset of folks aren't more talkative about this modpack. I play both ssp and run an smp server now that I've sucked my friends onto it once in awhile. The hardest thing is navigation. How do you know where you've been or where you want to go ? The radar is quite crappy, but I gather its partly designed to be so to force you out. What's the point of naming the areas though if you can't like make an in game map with areas you've explored to navigate? This only get worse on a smp server as I can't find a good means of keeping the small group together if they're not on always at the same time. Smp only works for small groups if you can keep them together even if its pvp or coop.

I say if you feel the need to be vocal for technic, than go troll the MCF and rage against the haters :)

and get a better sername. yes i missed a letter cz my keyboard got wet :)

Can you not destroy the mob spawners in towers? I went with an elf mage for my first try and I don't do much beyond kill surface mobs and try my hands at this tower. Getting level 2 was piss easy, but 3 just seems endlessly far away. I checked the wiki, but there's not much a a newb's guide to getting around and what to do different than vanilla MC so i'm not sure if I should be trying to build a basecamp etc...

um, because fixing the flaws in that wiki to be more useful is actually productive than getting snippy about where a mod link takes you. So far, you're the one showing the attitude.

counting on whats listed on a wiki for actual fact for future development is kinda silly as well.

Being a bit picky aren't we? Why don't you go and make the redpower wiki better if you're that motivated.

Do I have to bring back up my point of "YOU DON'T NEED PERMISSION WITH OPENLY RELEASED SOFTWARE" Most of the flame wars are from the people that side with sirdickhead and if you read many of their posts they lack any basis for their flames just as badly. And NO not everyone is capable of installing mods manually. Believe it or not ( I have 2 friends ) some people can't even manage with word for word instructions on how to do things.

WTF are you smoking about it being illegal anyway? I don't think i've seen one thread anywhere about the pack being illegal. Sure, there's been threads over dickhead and forestry, but that's it.

the threads end up in arguments because the info you want is on the technic homepage. and frankly, even without them you should gathered from the other threads that technic/tekkit isn't up to 1.3 yet let alone 1.3.1

we don't give a flock?

My current thought process is to try and parse my redstone signal to the stages and use retrievers for each ACT. In my head it works great, we'll see if RP cooperates. If I do it right I should get 2 pulses to the circuit ATC whilst the machine block one only gets a single pulse. The screwy part will probably be the copper cable one as you need 1 per battery and 6 per circuit and its a 6 per run recipe.

ok, i guess I may as ask for help now being confuzzled. I'm looking at retrievers and thinking they might be smart enough to fetch for multiple ACT's but I dunno. Maybe it's easier with multiple chests and multiple retrievers to pull exact stacks for the recipe. Then again the description of the filter is almost identical. Can these machines pull from the ACT's instead of needing the wooden BC pipe as my other all BC designs? Should the output from early stages in a cycle go to chests for interim storage until needed for final product assembly? I'm not sure the sorting machine is going to be my choice in this as its description leads me to thinking its more of a diamond pipe and filter/transposer in one with little regard to quantity sorting of the same item type.
