  1. An MD5 mismatch is an error about MD5 hashes. MD5 is used to check data, often with a MD5sum program. The errors are the result of MD5 hashes not matching (self-explanatory, really).
  2. Those aren't mods (or modifications). You're looking for hacks or exploits. This is frowned upon by the MC community. I could be wrong, but it's likely your intent is griefing. You'll find a lot of strong opinion about that here, and rightfully so. Such actions on a server are technically illegal. And I should mention that posting and discussion of anything illegal is forbidden on these forums. So no, I won't help you hack/exploit another person's server, nor should anyone else. If your intent is to prevent people from hacking/exploiting your server, you're looking in the wrong forum, and should probably consult one that deals specifically with hosting MC servers for the best advice.
  3. Current is what you measure when you use an EU reader. Voltage is the packet size. In IC it's simplifying these electrical concepts into a more MC friendly way (blutricity is less MC friendly, but more true to RL). You could make an EU to blutricity mod, but you would have to copy some of Eloraam's code (which apparently she doesn't like?). You can get around this limitation by creating a mod with a block that emits sunlight in the right amounts in one direction. To keep the system from being abused you would need to require 512 EU/t for full time operation. Call it a controlled fusion star creator or something to justify the cost, and since sunlight won't really diffuse after any number of blocks (in a straight line) then include a mirror box where you can shift around the light beam.
  4. You have to use Computer Craft. Specifically, sensors.
  5. You need to have NEI enabled in the same settings to see the button in the top left. With creative mode off and cheat mode on, you will be able to access your inventory. If you still see a recipe after selecting cheat mode just press E and it should go away.
  6. In creative mode you won't be able to give yourself items (well you can, but you can't use your inventory). In the top left there should be a button to turn off creative mode. Once its off you'll be able to use cheat items. You could also get the items you need by clicking just right of the creative item list and dragging your mouse up and down.
  7. Click on the options button in the bottom left corner, then click the box that says "recipe mode" until it says "cheat mode".
  8. You have to insulate your gold cables twice. That means you take your already insulated gold cables and put them on a crafting table with more rubber shown here.
  9. You could get around it if you made a mod that created sunlight lamps. You could maybe make ice making machines next to thermophiles and generate it that way, as well.
  10. Not in any meaningful way, no. You can use blutricity to power pumps to pump lava directly to geothermal generators, but that's the extent of it. Blutricity is much more realistic (measured in volts and amps) than EU. It would be nice to see a conversion, but I'm not sure how it would work exactly. 8 EU could potentially be 100 V or something and packet size would affect the voltage.
  11. A dimensional anchor should work. Also, you can with the use of an Ender Chest. Pretty elaborate though, considering a solar array setup would generate more energy (albeit costly).
  12. Go here to get started. I don't want to tell you exactly what to do, because if you want to run your own server then you need to learn how to do these things for yourself.
  13. The problem is with your ISP delivering unreliable service. There's nothing much to do about it but switch ISPs. It may be a modem problem, but I doubt it. I had an old ISP that would have a connection cut out 3-4 times a week. It's very frustrating.
  14. What you're talking about doing is a running a Beowulf cluster. That's advanced computing and not what you need unless you're trying to crack the encryption on a batch of files (and then P4 won't cut it). Getting a barebone pedestal server and going from there would be ideal. Something with a Xeon chip, throw in lots of memory; you know, the works.
  15. I'm thoroughly skilled in English. I have elementary knowledge in French, Greek (ancient), and Japanese.
  16. 1 Mb/s is 1000 Kb/s. 56k is 56 Kb/s. His connection speed isn't the issue.
  17. Well the tradeoff of MOARSOLARARRAY is that you need bigger and better cables to handle the packet size, causing EU loss (acceptable to some). The sweet spot is when you hit glass fiber, which allows you to create a massive array of HV panels. But those cables are still mighty expensive, and so are the panels.
  18. You can extend it off of a batbox in two (even four) directions by however many ways you need. That's a 37-cross configuration, only uses 12 wires.
  19. Never said it wasn't. I said it has a theme, regardless of whether that was deliberate or not. Because this is about Tekkit. It's a video game, not a simulator. The mods are just keeping with the spirit of its design. EE is based on alchemy, the precursor to modern chemistry. We already have electricity, engines, pumps, and machines that all are based off of modern science. The only piece of modern science missing is chemistry. Making C4, for example, would be chemistry.
  20. So I've noticed that solar flowers are seemingly the undisputed champion of solar power efficiency. The wiki says that it wasn't until tin wires were other options really equally as good. This is, to be frank, wrong. Solar flowers were never the most efficient way to place more than five solar panels in any solar farm. Solar flowers themselves can grow in size, but their efficiency decreases as the number of wires increases. And due to the structure of solar flowers, tiling them is a hassle and is inefficient. Three different kinds of solar array arrangements. Up until five panels is the solar flower most efficient. Adding more requires an additional wire which can connect to no panels, and then two more wires can add six more panels. This is the 11-flower arrangement above, which has 11 panels and uses 4 wires. An alternate flower arrangement involves tiling two flowers together, this 15-two-flower requires 7 wires. A line arrangement becomes more efficient at six panels. With just four wires a total of 14 panels can be placed, and each consecutive piece of wire creates three addition places for panels. Perhaps more curiously, a line arrangement starts as a flower arrangement. This makes it easy to expand your solar array. --- So the linear configuration is always best after five panels.

  21. Well looking at this now, I guess we could just shell all of it on a graphics card and PSU. Your performance will go up pretty substantially. The 430W is great, the 600W is unneeded and so is the 550W modular. But if you can get them for the same price do it. I took a gander at some higher priced graphics cards and found a beauty on sale. Radeon 6950 2GB - $195, $185 after rebate (£121, £115 after rebate) I'm not sure if the rebates apply to you or anything, but trust me this card is totally worth the price. With 2 GB of VRAM you'll be able to play the 128x sphax with nice frame-rates. This card outperforms the 6870 by a significant amount. That graphics card you picked out wouldn't be able to handle 64x sphax very well, I think. It's going to take a 6850 or 6770 at least to break 25-30 fps.
  22. Well I tell you what you can do to really improve performance. Just buy the graphics card and PSU. That should give you the boost you need and keep you under budget. You definitely don't want to compromise on the video card -- trust me on this and thank me later. Don't worry about the chunk updates, once your FPS is high enough it won't seem to be as much of a problem. FPS won't affect chunk update speed. XP uses less RAM, but you can turn off some useless windows features to drop down the usage. All you have to make sure is that MC is the only thing running. I sometimes have SC2 and MC up at the same time and still have RAM to spare with a mere 4GB. You should be fine. Just graphics card and power supply. They're compatible with what you have and should breathe some new life into your system.
  23. Well I didn't feel the need to respond, but if we want to play it this way. The issues I brought to the table haven't been discussed yet in the thread. Previous complaints were about EMC and various high level combinations -- no one really seemed to deal with the low-mid level stuff. Further, I said it doesn't mesh well with the theme it had going on, I never said anything about an intended theme. IC, Redstone Power, Build Craft, and Computer Craft bring almost all of the new content to the table, and they're all machine/technology themed -- whether you like to admit it or not. I even made the point that EE was actually trying to fill a gap in tekkit; a chemistry gap, which also had not be mentioned previously. Are my apparently unique insights not worth sharing? I see that there's some defensiveness going on. Will EE³ be able to remedy the situation? I don't know, maybe. Give it a shot at least. The modders and developers can do whatever they wish, I'm certainly not demanding anything of them. So don't get the wrong impression.
