It is very good to see that this was compromised and the modding community drama was kept relatively low. What happened it exactly what I was trying to say, and that was to get over what was gone, and figure out what was needed to get the functionality that was required, and once that was figured out the problem was resolved very quickly from what I saw in the discussion on github.

Explain.

In my opinion, this thread seems very childish. You go on saying how much you respect a certain modder and how you are good friends with him and all of that stuff, and then you say he makes one change to a mod and start raising up a shit storm about how he is such a crappy person, how he is trying to ruin someone else's mod, and how he is being greedy by wanting people to have to rely on buildcraft and not let other people add their own alternatives to it. Basically, in my eyes, you are being a drama queen in the modding community and you are trying to ruin a modder's reputation. Wait, isn't that kind of what you were complaining about him, how he was ruining someone else's mod? If you are in fact good friends with him, then instead of being a little drama queen and trying to get a bunch of people to start hating on CovertJaguar, why don't you try and resolve this issue with him in private so everyone can enjoy having the mods they like continue to function as they do? I understand that you are probably a bit ticked off that some compatibility was lost because of the changes he made, but in the eyes of me, someone who loves playing mod packs such as technic, tekkit, and FTB, the changes that were made to the buildcraft power system are actually pretty cool and were much needed for the mod. You are a modder, so why don't you work with CovertJaguar to keep the compatibility you need and make it work with the new power system? Ok that was my rant for the day, I don't mean any hard feelings or hate from this post, but I am just trying to say maybe you could work it out in another way.

No. It is not right. When people go to download something like this Mod Pack, which looks pretty proffesional, and they download the latest version of server and the latest version of the client, they should be able to just start up both and have it run flawlessly. There should be no catches where you have to go into some manual setting and change it. I run the launcher and say I want to run Tekkit, so it should work with the latest Tekkit server version. To be honest, I probably could have figured out what was wrong faster than it took me to find this thread, which was pretty fast. But there should be no set up other than downloading and extracting the latest files, and running them. I am no idiot when it comes to running servers, I have ran quite a few, bukkit and vanilla alike, off my own home computer and off of a VPS.
