Adding MFR Mod to Custom

[Andy Miller]

Hey all,

I am attempting to use an existing modpack and add a few more mods that I love to make a server. I am currently using this modpack: http://www.technicpack.net/modpack/details/moonquest-modpack.190125

From there I added MFFS, Applied Energetics, and Netherores with no problems. Then I added MFR with PCs and it will either crash while loading or error while loading saying:

Forge Mod Loader had found a problem with your minecraft installation

The mods and versions listed below could not be found

PowerCrystalsCore: minimum version required is 1.1.7

I then add that version and it crashed while loading. Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Don;t use 1.1.7 that's for 1.6.2, use 1.1.8 for 1.6.4 MC

Ok I installed 1.1.8-9 powercyrstals and by itself it works. Then I add 2.7.4-255 MFR and it crashed. Any idea what I am doing wrong?

[Andy Miller]

After looking in the crash report there is a line that says this:

2014/01/30 16:05:47 [iNFO] 2014-01-30 16:05:47 [iNFO] [sTDOUT]TConstruct Environment: DO NOT REPORT THIS CRASH! Unsupported mods in environment: optifine

I am not sure what optifine is really?

[Amaxter]

It's a mod that adds HD textures and some other stuff, remove it from the mods folder

[Andy Miller]

Tried that with same results, crashing. The logs don't show anything odd now.

pastebin the latest crashlog

The ForgeModLoader-client file wouldn't fit in one paste so I made two:

ID Conflict, they're generally a pain to deal with, but can be solved pretty seamlessly with idfix minus: http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1928632-164smpforge-idfix-and-idfix-minus-mods-for-resolving-id-conflicts/

• Take out the last mod you added, presumably MFR.
  
• Start the client and do a NEI ID dump with both used and unused
  
• Add the mod back in
  
• When/if you get a crash, look for the offending ID (disconsented showed you one) look at your ID dump to see what that is assigned to
  
• Either change the config for the new mod, or the old one (but you probably want to change the new one) to resolve the ID conflict

I think ID fix minus is easier for him, he can even take it out afterwards and the conflict will still be resolved because it edits the configs for you

@Amaxter: You are likely correct, but I try to lean towards the "teach a man to fish" position instead of "give a man a fish". :)

But with 1.7 eradicating ID's you might as well be teaching a man to fish for fossils.

1) The length of time between now and when a good stable version of Forge for 1.7.2 is available and enough of the "cornerstone" mods are updated to 1.7.2 could be many, many months. Resolving ID conflicts won't become an archeology project until well after that happens.

2) The fundamental skills required to do ID conflict resolutions, if you master those skills, carry over to so many other aspects of not only MC mods but many other computer related skills as well. Error log interpretation, library and dependency resolution, JAVA debugging in general. Master these skills and your life will be much easier.
