server is up again but im not risking a log in until im sure my coords have been reset to the overworld. there is a way to edit player.dat files with gzip or whatever its called, thats what they are compressed with. if you have the ability, there is a line that says dimension, set it to zero (overworld) and set coords to 0, 0, 80 (or whatever the overworld spawn is) just an idea not sure if it works because all ive done is manage to partially extract a player.dat file :P

well ive taken a look and it appears that minecraft still records player data seperately :D

i believe player data files are seperate. you have nothing to worry about if that is the case. i remember messing around with my own server and seeing individual player .dat files so you should be fine.

its trying to log on that broke the server again tub lol, so yeh i cant get on or it will go down. to be honest i dont mind loosing what i have in my char inventory. it will require some effort to get back. Not sure why the age broke the server :S but that is the last time i experiment with mystcraft.... until i fully understand it in ssp.

:S seems when i try and log in the server goes down. if someone can reset where i spawn that would be cool. i guess its one of the ages i made O.o though i followed the directions on the ftb wiki. sorry :S and if knock has deleted it that probly means im in limbo :S the first server crash last night i think was when i tried to enter it...

note to tehtub: just so you know before the server went down, im in the middle of creating a modular on/off system so that stuff i told you about wont run 24/7. and those oil refineries, are only going to be on to fill the tank, the tank holds 5700 buckets of fuel, with a buffer tank near the boilers of 2000 buckets, needless to say the oil refineries will not be running often (like once a month if that). and right now, with the things im dealing with i dont need someone yelling at me telling me what i need and dont need. yes im very concerned with the amount of recources my stuff takes up on the server, that is why im developing the on off system, and my quarries will be able to be stopped at will. im sorry if i seem bitchy but im dealing with some severe depression (clinical >.> ), a shitty life, and minecraft happens to be my "happy place" right now to help me cope. I just pray the medication will start kicking in within the next few weeks. lets hope that is a solution. Edit: also im well aware of how a computer processes information and how it can effect performance. ive been building computers since i was 15 (10 years ago) and do so frequently, dealing in hardware and software applications, so I understand this principle. hence, why im in development (construction stage) of the said system.

wow, having looked at big dig, i say lets switch to that instead of tekkit lite. i will miss ee2 but oh well, cant have everything. shame that all my work on my giant base is wasted but whatever. i at least developed several devices i will be able to use on big dig.

hmmm i was on earlier, and now it wont let me on with the whole failed to verify username... i reinstalled java and still nothing. quite odd. also severe amounts of lag when i was on.

the point was you only need 1 670 and then if you really need too, buy another one in the future, its cheaper to do it this way in the end.

lol clonco, 2 680's will stomp a 690 anyday (especially the ones i had). a 690 is nothing more than 2 680 chips (gk104 chips) stuck on one pcb. and unfortunately they havnt made a card that dedicates 4gb of ram to each chip on a 690. both of my 680's had 4gb of ram, and the clocks are way higher than a 690. i hit 1258 boost clock without trying, stock volts. 7200mhz effective gddr5, no change in voltage. now if i actually used the evbot connectors that both of mine had (they stopped putting it on after nvidia had a power trip) i could manually adjust voltages and overclock like mad. i also had them water blocked XD. but i sold 1 needed to since i lost my job. but i have a 2560x1440p monitor running at 110hz so i needed them . now i wish i would have waited for gk110, as that was my initial plan, but rumors started that they were not going to release a gtx part for it, just the k20 teslas then zomg they finally released gk110 as gtx Titan oh well. and yeh tehtub, ive seen some ati cards go bad, but none that i have owned. they are usually less quality than nvidia, which is sad. but saying that my ati 9800 pro (a bad ati 9800xt that couldnt hold xt clocks, even though i flashed the bios on it to an xt anyway haha ) lasted for 7 years of gaming, and is actually capable of still running just fine, if i had a board with an agp slot my hd4870 is still running fine in my moms machine my little brother uses, along with a gen 1 phenom. and of course im still using my hd6970. and as far as drivers, i think ive ran into 1 problem with drivers... and thats on my laptop that has a hd6970m, but thats it.... i really dont know why other people have trouble with drivers. i think they just forget to uninstall and erase the old ones from the registery. another thing to note, is i maintain my computers frequently, cleaning out heatsinks and ensuring proper operation. this prevents my hardware from overheating and decreasing the life of the part. I know a friend of mine who had an x1600xt and fried it because the fan stopped due to too much junk in the motor part of the fan. anyway this is a tekkit forum not a hardware/computer forum but i recommend the 6xx series of nvidia cards, they are great performers for the money. anyone looking into 660 ti sli, should sit back and consider a 4gb 670. 4gb gives you the option to upgrade in the future to a higher resolution than 1080p (like me) without dropping performance as much as a 2gb frame buffer will. also, the 670 has a better memory bitwidth than a 660ti, this will improve your gaming experience over a 660 by alot. and if you really need it, you can sli the 670's later on. that is why i now consider a 4gb 670 the best budget build card. just make sure you get one with a stock clock of 1006mhz or above, that have a 680 pcb. those are the best usually.

personally, im a fan of ati, i like how they moved to super scalar shaders before nvidia did, and then when nvidia did (with the 7000 series) it was aweful. nvidia reverted to scalar with the 8k series all the way through the 500 series. now scalar is alright, however for gaming it tends to be less energy efficient than super scalar in my experience, and from what iv researched. now for gp-gpu functions, scalar architecture is generally better . I do however like nvidia's products as they work very well. now nvidia is using super scalar again with the gtx 600 series, and they did it very well indeed! im not really a fan boy i just like competition because it promotes lower prices. however ati have been in a bit of a bind it seems lately, as their whql drivers are 2 months behind. yeh they have beta drivers for march but they are not whql. also when overclocking my overlord monitor (overclocking the refresh rate, mine is at 110hz atm) my gtx 680s i had seemed to do it better and have better signal strength. this is probably due to their ability to hold higher pixel clock rates than my hd6970. I had 2 gtx 680 classifieds from evga and loved them and yes i still played minecraft, c&c95, total annihilation, and other old games haha so overkill aint a bad thing :3

with machines i can put complicated things together because i understand how they intermix and work together, and how each individual machine works, with architecture things dont interact the way my mind thinks. its about placement rather than function. my mind thinks in functions of logic. building things for style is just not in my ability to do well. i can make structures that function and do their job well, not look pretty. that was my point. to me, style is illogical, therefore it is nearly impossible for me to create such structure that have useless *what i consider useless* bits on them.

lol see its easy for you because you have that type of mind. i find it hard to physically create things, i can imagine it just fine, its putting it into a sphere of existence that is the problem. now with machines and the like, i can create some interesting things and am much better as engineer vs being an architect.

lol i hear you tub, i cant design fancy things either

oh woops XD my bad fixed now. added you and dr fantabo

heck yah that sounds like fun, add me on battlelog my name ingame is ubernator44

haha me too :P

Glad your ok ks7!! hospitals suck man sorry to hear about that, but glad your ok!

well nukes, world anchors, you cant place lava buckets (mods can place them for you) at this point in time the server is down, so this is subject to change. none of use really know (except for maybe a few?) whats going on. i dont think any of these things will change but you never know. those are the only things that I know of that are banned. there are some other things maybe in mods that im not well aquainted with. i think tunnel bores might be restricted to builder level players?? i dunno. just dont grief or make machines that you cant turn off, and for the love of pete DONT leave them on when your offline, especially when anchored with teleport tethers >.> ks7 hates that soooo much.

wow all this talk about whats happening to ks7 kinda has me worried about him. hope he is ok. didnt realize it was that serious :S hope things are well ks7

oh cool i didnt know ks7 said that. remember i was away from tekkit for like, 4-5 months or something. when i come back i see this tekkit lite bs and alot of whiners complaining about ee2 O.o soooooo i was kinda lost to be honest, but was glad to see this server stayed like it was. to be honest, that map could us a revamp, but there is alot of cool stuff, as much as random arse junk. if he could redo a map, and copy paste some of the structures and whatnot with world edit, and save peeps inventory, that would be cool. but im not opposed to keeping the same map, as i have a massive project i was right in the middle of XD. patience is a virtue, of which I am desperately trying to be :)

Probly just best for us to just wait. im sure ks7 has his hands full at the moment. he has been trying hard to keep things straight and as many of us saw the other day, he is getting really upset with some stuff thats been going around. from machines being left on and anchored, to greifers and stealers i hope the tekkit classic server will be available, but i can wait. I do wonder though if he intends to clear the tekkit classic map, some news on what is going on with that server would be nice. hope things are going well ks7, we here support you!

not really a design flaw as both those mods were designed seperately, the people who put tekkit together probly couldnt do anything about that as they dont have the rights to the mod. yes making it so you cant make blazerators or boneratorz would make it, for some people who think balance is an issue (not me), more balanced and make it harder to get items. to me, its minecraft, who cares, its for fun anyway lmao

Well, having played tekkit for along time now, i really dont see why any of you are complaining about getting "Godly" stuff too fast. if you dont want it, dont make it simple as that. just because other people have it doesnt put YOU at a disadvantage of how you play the game, unless you play on a crappy griefing server. I play on a whitelisted server so O>o who cares who has what, we all have our preferences on this server. I like making things. i enjoyed the struggle to get my first DM, then RM then my first RM tool XD getting my quantum armor was no easy task either. people keep saying "oh but it makes it too easy if you have blazerators and other 'cheat' machines." let me tell you that is not true, it is still insanely hard to get top gear, and takes along time. also, you can just, i dunno, CHOOSE to not use some of the mods YOU think are a 'cheat.' if it was put into tekkit as part of the mods, its not a cheat. if you dont want to use it, simple, dont. dont force other people to play YOUR way, when they want to play THEIR way. I dont have time to play 24/7 and play for a month just to get diamond armor.... so i like ee2. it is faster than the "standard" way of doing things, but it still takes forever. I have a job, i have other things to do, so whatever helps me build stuff a little quicker im alright with for MY way of playing. YOUR way may be different, adjust appropriately. there is nothing wrong with the mods in tekkit classic, its just how it was made. i dont see why all of you think you are so dissadvantaged by the the stuff in ee2 O.o it just boggles my mind. now, at the moment, yes i have a full alchemy bag of red matter, yes i have alot of stuff.... so? ive been playing for MONTHS. but i dont play 24/7 like some do. I still have not run out of things to do or challenges to overcome, so whats the problem people? the problem is the challenge of your own limited minds to not be able to think up of contraptions to make. I just finished a GIANT factory that cost me 2 whole rows of red matter stacks out of my alchemy bag, and now im off to make a sky city and other stuff. Your only limitation is yourlack of creative mind. dont limit others creativity because you lack the neccisary faculties to be creative, and get bored.... EDIT: also, there is nothing wrong with "starting over" on the server you play on. Ive seen a few do that because they wanted to re live the struggle. Why dont all of you who complain about ee2 just do that? and then through that playthrough you not use the mods you did before for extra challenge? come on be creative, dont make other people set limitations and think for you. dont be like the zombies out there in the world that just do what other people tell them to and nothing else... thats boring, lame, and stupid.

ok so ive never gotten how others can look at what others have and say "its not fair" if you dont work for it.... I worked hard to get collectors/arrays/condensers and i reap the rewards.... how does it effect you? it shouldnt, not at all..... its minecraft for pete sake. its not a RTS where resources are critical to winning... minecraft isnt about winning.... its about creating.... so i dont get it. if you dont want to use a mod, dont punish others for using what you dont want to use. this isnt an mmorpg that has a serious pvp element to it. it wasnt designed that way. why do people have this mentality, it drives me up the wall! its like looking at a millionare and saying "i want that much money why does he have that much!? not fair" well actually, it is fair, because he worked his butt off to get there.....
