You realize that posts like that are against the rules, right? If you see one, please report it. The mods take care of them when we see them but we are vastly outnumbered.

the term "keyboarding" is more of an anachronism than anything else. it was used back when typewriters were being replaced by PCs. of course you can't type without a typewriter, so what do you do with a PC? you keyboard, clearly. it's not like they're anything more than glorified typewriters anyway, am I right?

the posts have a dual purpose. the main purpose is to boost the google search rankings of their site, by canvasing the web with links to it that look like they are "quality" when googlebot comes by and indexes the thread. they also server the purpose of direct advertising, though it's mostly a side effect of the SEO game they are playing. which is why, in case anyone was wondering, I removed the link in the post.

merchant came after I did, along with eldmoor. not that it really matters though. it's not like seniority is a thing around here.

I would not be kellering you forever if you added a lack of boldface type to your entire post IT WOULD BE AWESOME tell me if you think it was a good idea now

this isn't the sphax support forums. if you're having a problem with the actual game, then we can help. if you are just having issues with a texture pack, you are in the wrong place.

there's plenty of hate to go around here, but only for utter idiots who refuse to read and then get pissy about it. well ok, so they don't have to get pissy about it first, but they usually do.

god damn it technic team, how many versions are you going to release without making TMI work?!?!

the ram settings are in the options menu in the launcher.

look out, we have potty mouths in this thread

the launcher remembers your old skin, which is why it looks like it hasn't changed when you open it up and see your little dude there. in game though, it should change regardless. start up a single player world or log into a server and hit f5. you should see that you have your changed skin, not the old one.

Excellent, glad you figured it out. Thanks for posting the final solution as well. Enjoy your technic

this is a very well done server post. in fact, it does such a good job of selling your server that it made me want to join. no foolin. minecraft name: fr34kachu age: 28 location: USA (I know you guys are in europe but I don't mind a little lag) what do you plan to do: build a base, maybe underground or something with piston doors and such eventually. generally have a good time.

try going into your %appdata%\.techniclauncher\tekkit\bin directory and deleting the "natives" folder. then re-run the launcher and it should redownload those files. that might fix your issue.

which means your original issue is fixed then? if you're having additional problems, how about some logs from after you've had said problems.

well, the best way to know if it's your gateway would be to bypass it completely and then see if you have the problem. I don't have any idea what your network setup is like though, so that may or may not be as easy as it sounds.

well, you can launch the launcher from a jar, but I'm not aware of a way to bypass the launcher. I agree it's most likely a network issue if it's affecting multiple PCs in the same way. I guess try the launcher using the jar directly and see if that does anything for you? though even so, I honestly cannot think of a good reason for it to slow down that much. you could try running it as admin as well, I don't think it'll matter but at this point I am grasping at straws.

do you have it set to use the latest build? if so, that's why you have the mod missing problem. what's your CPU usage like during these long load times? also, what anti-virus do you have? have you tried disabling it? it looks like it is taking a long time to do simple operations or small downloads. for instance one of the small images for hack/mine took well over a minute to download. either your bandwidth is super capped or something is meddling with file IO. if I had to guess, I'd say someone on your network doesn't understand torrent upload limits and why they're a good thing. could be AV messing around though. is this the only internet related thing that is slow? how well does the vanilla launcher work? do web pages load quickly when this is happening?

provide some useful info like system specs, OS version, launcher version, and log files. preferably in a separate thread. then java isn't your only issue. make a thread in the appropriate bug board for whichever back you're having this problem on then clearly this was not the problem you had in the first place. make a thread with the relevant info as listed above.

it certainly sounds like a networking issue, so looking at your linux gateway might help. I'm not sure if you'd have to whitelist anything per-se, but something is certainly making those connections VERY slow.

he just gave it to you, eagle eyes.

setting it to 1 will make it generate. that isn't an indication of how much gets generated, it's simply a true/false field. in programming 0 is used to represent "false" and 1 to represent "true" basically you're saying, "yes, turn on this ore generation" by setting it to one. other setting will either do nothing, or cause the ore to not generate properly.

for the ores, you'd have to mess with the config files for IC2 and redpower. it shouldn't be too difficult as that stuff is usually pretty well named. just take a look through them and you'll probably spot the right option. volcanoes are there to look cool. there's really no other purpose to them currently. kinda like RP2 rubber trees.

so, your own mod setup, that you made yourself, is having problems and you want us technic people, who had no part in creating this issue, to solve your problem for you? what makes you think this is a good place to go for that?
