EE pedestal item not activating with Archangel's Smite

[Gibbynator]

Launcher/pack Version: 2.1.1

Operating System: Windows 7 Ultimate x64

Version of Java: JAVA_VERSION="1.7.0"

Description of Problem:

I am running a normal Tekkit server with no extra mods/plugins/etc. I created an EE DM Pedestal and placed it on a cobblestone block (trying to be as specific as possible, if someone needs to replicate). When Shift+Right-Clicking on the pedestal, I place a newly-crafted Archangel's Smite in the pedestal's active item slot. I have tried activating the pedestal both by right-clicking it and by using a redstone input (via both a lever and redstone torch, tested separately). Nothing happens. Only the vanilla animation of the player using an item. Tested with 2 OP-status characters, and pig mobs within 5 blocks. I went to the EE wiki and watched the video on Archangel's, just to make sure I didn't pull a stupid. I also went through all 44 pages in this forum, and have not found a similar post.

To solo out any "Your mod didn't load right" answers.

Another general question to anyone who has a working Pedestal with Archangel's Smite in their server: Does the pedestal target mobs only, or do other players get recognized as targets? If the latter, is there any way to make players not targetable (without putting them in creative/using health mods)?

I have reproduced your situation and am falling into the same issue. I have noticed a few arrow "ghosts" coming from the pedestal but no damage seems to be done to the mobs. This may just be an issue with the mod itself and not a tekkit/technic issue.You should try asking on the EE mod page for help.

Asked the Mod's creator

[20:45] <Gibby> I've got a slight issue with EE2 in Tekkit pack SMP.

[20:46] <Gibby> I asked around, and multiple people are having issues with the DM Pedestal and the archangel's smite in their servers

[20:46] <Gibby> Myself included

[20:46] <~pahimar> there are issues with the pedestals in SMP

[20:47] <~pahimar> no real workaround atm, something im working on

Maybe someone here could help think of a way.

[RedStoner]

guess ill have to have a chat with a few of my coders about seeing if they can find a fix. Will let you know if they can do anything about it.

I'm having the same problem. But when i put any ring in the pedestal, it doesn't apear in the top. and nothing hapens when i right click on it.

I think i know the problem. In the first time i put the a ring in it, i destroied it (to put it over my house and protect me) whit the ring inside it. The Rescult: the ring disappeared, the pedestal don't work , and now all pedestals that I creat don't work.

I don't know if the Archangel's smite ring works, because i've broken it before testing the pedestal. Please someone help me!

sry for the bad english, i'm Brazilian =P

Archangel's smite in pedestals is an issue with EE, not with Tekkit. No way to fix it as far as i'm aware. Other rings work fine in the pedestal in the version of EE used in tekkit 2.1 but I wouldn't advise ever putting a talisman of repair in, your server console seems to go mental with repair related errors. If you just want a pedestal to kill mods use the fire ring in there, it obliterates them and doesn't energize creepers like the lightning one does.

Just remember you need to activate the pedestal by clicking on it or a RS signal and they tend to turn themselves off randomly... possible when the chunk unloads but i've seen it happen when I haven't moved away but the day has changed.

As far as none of your pedestals working after you destroyed one with a ring in I have no idea why that would be. Whn you place a pedestal can you put a ring in the top slot and does it disappear when you do so? If you can't place a ring but the slot looks empty maybe try clicking on the slot and seeing if an archangel's smite appears on your cursor. I doubt that'll be the case though.

If you post a bit more about exactly what you are doing and what is happening that would help. Are other ppl able to use pedestals for example? Also test a pedestal with a gaia ring near some wheat, that way you can test it easily without needing mobs to fry.

Ok. This is happning:

1- i crafted the pedestal

2- put inside my house

3- pressed shift + right click in it

4- put archangel's smite in it

5- exited the pedestal menu

6- the ring apeared over the pedestal(the ring icon)

7- I destroyed it and the server lagged in the moment

8- took the pedestal and the ring

9- put the pedestal on top of my roof

10- pressed shift + right click on it and put the ring back. then exited the pedestal menu

11- the ring didn't apear over the pedestal

So this is the problem. Not just whit this ring, but whith the clock, the talisman, soul stone, everthing. If I place the ring into the pedestal( i know, the triforce gem icon), it does not aper in the pedestal out from the menu, As if ithere is nothing in it.

I don't know how to put prints on the post, this is my second post in this forum =P. but I know how to make the it works. i've seen this vid: http://equivalentexchange.wikispaces.com/Pedestal

NOTE: if i put my ring of arcana on it. the server crashes.

[bonfire01]

Sounds like an EE rather than tekkit problem. Try making a new pedestal with NEI cheats and popping a ring in that one. Alternatively this could just be a graphical issue. Set up a few irrigated dirt blocks with wheat on them, pop the pedestal in the middle, add a gaia ring to it, activate it with R-Click or a RS signal and see if the wheat speed grows and self harvests. You don't always get to see the ring above the pedestal but it can still sometimes work. Gaia ring is easiest to test.

Thanks for the help, but it still doesn't working

I've said in other post. every pedestals that i craft (or take on too many itens) don't work. I've tryed to do what did you sayed. I put it next to my farm, then i plant some seeds. Nothing happens. I tryed to put the ignation ring on it, and spawn some silverfishs. nothing happens (Note: Yes, i've right clicked on it to make it work, but the flames don't apear too).

So, i created a single player word and put a pedestal in the ground. i've put the archangel's Smite on it and it apeared! but it don't throw arrows(yeas i've right cliked on it). Then i made the same thing whit the others things. Everithing worked. I don't know what i have done whit my server, But i'm having the same problem whit the archangel's smite throwing arrows.

Remembering, I know how it works, The problem is that it doesn't works.

Sry for the bad English..... again. =P

Well archangel's smite is bugged in pedestals so that isn't going to work anyway.

As for why all your SMP pedestals are now bugged I have no idea. It'll either be a problem with your world or your player, probably the easiest way to work it out is get another player to test a pedestal and see if it'll work for them. If it does then you could stick everything you own in a chest, delete your player.dat and log back in with a clean slate as far as the server is concerned. It might cause issues with "owned" items such as teleport pipes, personal safes etc. so you would want to remove those first then replace them when you are back in.

I guess it all depends on how much you want to use DM pedestals.

I put a watch of flowing time into my pedestal and right clicked it. No animation is produced. No flames or particles, just the pedestal with the watch icon. I'm on my own tekkit 3.0.4 server and im using tekkit 3.0.3.
