    PASSWORD: the password is another word for "multiple behinds". PM me or hit me up on steam if you don't guess right

    Enjoy!

     

    I turned down the time evolution factor on biters, so feel free to durdle a little bit.

    The map is a modified version of the rail world preset; Resources are farther apart so rails will be needed

    Alright that's it.

    Ain't nobody topping this.

    In fact you could say.

    That it's

    Number one.

     

    Factorio .15 is coming really soon and looking really good on the performance end, so even those with toasters should be able to join, and my core2duo server should be able to run it well. -> https://www.factorio.com/blog/post/fff-185

    We've also upgraded our internet to a wired connection. It has a tiny bit less burst upload speed, but on the plus side it has waaaaay better reliability, so no more random drops like when we had that tekkit legends server way back when. I look forward to playing with y'all when it comes out, it's gonna be great. I'll also likely invite some nerds normal attractive people I've met over from Netrunner land, so there'll be more than enough activity to make things interesting.

     

    For those who didn't get the reference in the video:

     

    How's everybody's schooling going? (Where applicable.)

    I've actually started tutoring in my university as a part time gig.

    School is absolutely nuts. I don't know if I ever mentioned what I'm doing these days.

    Boiled down it's mechatronics with co-op and a multi semester capstone project that I'll be working on all summer to finish with a team of 12 other students.

    Good news is that I already have a monster of a job offer that'll be kickass and pays a stupid amount. I'll be able to get a Vive really soon after I start!

    It's been nothing but work work work even on my time off. That said I have a week off at the moment so:

    Yup. Whichever you guys want, I'll get it running. I don't think I can do both at once though. Factorio 0.15 is 99% done and has recently been pushed to the experimental build, so we could start it next week (after I finish my finals), or any modpack you guys want would be great as well. Let me know if you have any candidates you want.

    That said, whichever we end up going with, I've acquired some battery UPS units from a surplus sale, which I'll be adding to the router and server, so the server will be super duper reliable. :science:

    I'm lovin 0.15 right now and it would be awesome to play with you guys again for as long as I've got the time to!

    2. Wait for 0.15 to come out, which will have a *lot* of new content and tweaks.

    3. Embrace the darkness and use mods.

    I say a blend. I haven't played with mods yet so that might be fun, and 0.15 could be a long ways off. The devs seem very adamant about not giving etas unless you've seen something I haven't (which is very possible as I'm only just really getting into the community).

    Oh btw, does this seem like a good build to you guys?

    Judging by the parts you have money burning a hole in your pocket! ;)

    If you have that much to burn, upgrade to an i7 XXXXK so you get the hyper threading, and a bigger SSD. I went with 128 and wish I had gone bigger. Also consider doing a custom water cooling loop for bonus points in looks!

    If you want somthing more price to performance, down scale to a non-K processer (seriously, OCing does next to nothing for games anyways), drop the AIO cooler and go with an aftermarket air-cooler. Literally anything is better than stock. If you're dead set on the 1080 (I dont blame you) then great, otherwise a 1070 is going to be more than enough for the foreseeable future in terms of even the most demanding VR applications. Hell, a 1060 (when it comes) will likely be enough for a few years down the line.

    Also look into people who are dropping used 900 series cards in your local area. If you can get a good deal on a 980 or even 980ti, that should be more than enough to power AAA games for the next few years.

    can someone please for the love of god specify that you have to select the folder inside the pack folder and select "add to archive", not zip the folder containing the subfolders themselves,

    Sure!

     

    Seriously though, this should have all the info you could need and more. Give it a quick read next time you have a problem!

    Crash on joining server

    in Attack of the B-Team

    Posted · Edited by lukeb28

    Just one Nit-Pick at the post, when posting crash reports, put it in a code format or throw it on paste bin and just post the link. It's just easier to read that way.

    Try loading into a single player world, quitting to the main menu, then connecting to the server. 

    If that doesn't work a little more info would be great!

    Are other people capable of logging into your friends server?

    When does this error occur? When trying to log in? after a second or two in world? randomly after joining?

    Are you on the same pack version at their server?

    My modpack server keeps crashing

    in Technic Launcher

    Just one Nit-Pick at the post, when posting crash reports, put it in a code format or throw it on paste bin and just post the link. It's just easier to read that way.

    It looks like the issue is the fact you have a client side only mod in the load list. You can remove mods like Rei's mini map and any other client side mods as they do not provide functionality server side and can even crash servers.

    If removal of Rei's and any other client mods does not resolve the issue, you may have the wrong .jar. This website should help you in selecting and installing the proper .jar.  https://www.beastnode.com/portal/knowledgebase/101/Install-BukkitForge-or-MCPCplus-or-Cauldron.html

    Finally if that does not work, try loading it without any mods. If that still doesn't work then come back. If it does, try slowly adding your mods to the server, just one at a time until it breaks again. Come back with what one broke it and we should be able to help some more!

    Changes to EULA

    in Server Op Swap Shop

    Posted

    My two cents is that it's about time they made changes to the EULA, but they are making the wrong changes (Or at least they are not making all the changes they need to be making). By what has been said, their changes are going to cripple almost all big servers out there. They are doing the right thing, but doing it in the wrong way.

     

    That's the gist of my opinion. I'm going into more detail now if you want to skip the rest and call me a moron without knowing my reasoning.

     

    Now some hot head is going to be mad that I'm semi for the change (Or a lot of you) but hear me out. Modders not using open source is one thing (And will not be discussed here), but taking real money away is serious. I understand that a few bad apples are ruining the bunch, but many servers are almost their own company. They sell packages and such so they can maintain the server, make improvements, and even employ people full time. There are real jobs out there to moderate and maintain Minecraft servers. These EULA changes will destroy those jobs.

     

    That said, the current state of affairs are making it look like a crippling change. But simply foregoing those changes is almost as bad. Some servers allowing for GOD MODE to be bought for $10 000 USD must be shut down. They are preying on 10 year olds with their parents credit cards. Something like this can destroy a family financially and is putting money into the hands of people who really don't deserve it. The same goes for payments to be unbanned, getting uber kits, or other unfair advantages.

     

    Now, what the hell can we do to fix this? I can't think of anything myself that's not as grey line as the rest of the EULA. Using an easy 'If we think what your doing is bad we will shut your down' would fail miserably as if it went to court there would be any number of loop holes for the server owner to use. Anything left or right of that would be too strict or too loose and we would get a bigger problem or nothing would change.

     

    I love the guy's down at Mojang. They are always trying to put power in the hands of the players to build the world they want, but now we have come to a critical cross road. It must be chosen to become a police state or continue on our road to anarchy. Nether are good options but one has to be taken. If I were Mojang I would make the change they have described. Though I would hate to make it.

     

    This is not an easy fix but something has to be done. I'm sorry that I have no answer to the "what should we do?" question that's on everyone's mind, but hopefully we can be a little more diplomatic.

    Exactly my mistake, thank you :)

     

    Also the link to the ID-conflict guide is broken just so you know ;)

    I'm not finished but this guide helped me great deal so thank you Lukeb!

    That may be due to the new forum software. It shouldn't be an issue for the guide since the link was only to give credit where credit was due and all the information is copied onto that post.

     

    I'm glad I could help, and welcome to the forums! (I see your 3 post count :P) I hope you enjoy the community.

    Most disturbing game you have ever played

    in The Arcade

    Posted · Edited by lukeb28

    Edit: When making your choice, please explain it like people don't know the game the game at all.

     

    My pick is something a little unorthodox. I have played horror and other games that aim to disturb, but this game was not intended for that, and the reason for its disturbing quality is something most people overlook. 

     

    X-Com Enemy Within

     

    This is a wonderful expansion to the game X-Com Enemy Unknown, a turn based strategy game. I'm sure many people have played it before. One of the key differences between the two games is the addition of a second enemy faction, EXAULT. This enemy is introduced midway into the first half of the game. They are terrorists attempting to use the alien invasion as a distraction while they take over the world. The Counsel, a group of world leaders funding the X-Com project, assign X-Com to deal with the "traitors". This comes after fighting off the alien hord for a good few months to protect humanity.

     

    There's my scrape with the game. You have fought for the very survival of the human race, for every human life on Earth. To suddenly have to turn around and target the very people your men have fought and died for is a scary thought. As the Commander you have sent good men and women to die for the greater good, and here these terrorists try to back stab the guardians of humanity, and you have to kill them for it. 

     

    After fighting for all of humanity for so long, making massive sacrifices for the greater good; who could turn around and kill their fellow kin with such a cold heart? This game draws the line of humanity, then crosses it with cold logic.

     

    There is no choice, no option. You have to kill the people you would die for.
