Skuli Posted August 18, 2014 Posted August 18, 2014 It's been a little while since our last update, but I've rolled up some newer mods that should help resolve some long-standing bugs with the 1.2.9e version. The biggest changes here are to Galacticraft, Computercraft, Bigreactors, and switching Redstone in Motion to the newly updated Remain in Motion fork. We've also tossed in a new BigReactors build, and other Computercraft-related mods should be at their latest (and CC 1.63) compatible versions. The server is available here. As always, back up your current world/server before upgrading! To use this version, configure the Tekkit pack to either always use latest builds or to manually select the 1.2.10c build. This should fix a number of outstanding bugs with crashing tesseracts and Galacticraft blocks, and some Carpenter's Blocks crash bugs should be squashed as well. Let me know if any Computercraft components/integrations stop working or crash due to the 1.63 update. The complete list of updated mods from 1.2.9e (and their versions) are as follows: bigreactors-0.3.4A2.jar carpenter's blocks v3.2.6 - MC 1.6.4.zip computercraft1.63.jar equivalentexchange3-1.6.4-0.1.142.jar galacticraft-1.6.4-2.0.14.1084.jar galacticraft-planets-1.6.4-2.0.14.1084.jar micdoodlecore-1.6.4-2.0.14.1084.jar openccsensors-1.6.4.4.jar openmodslib-0.5.1.jar openperipheraladdons-0.1.5.jar openperipheralCore-0.4.1.jar remaininmotion_1.2.0.zip thermalexpansion-3.0.0.7.jar
Curunir Posted August 19, 2014 Posted August 19, 2014 (edited) Are you aware that BigReactors 0.4 is out? It's still a release candidate, but the feature list looks tasty. You did not include the Simply Jetpacks hotfix 0.1.4.1, which was mentioned (and linked) in this ticket as the solution to that crash in singleplayer mode. Works very well, and the crash can be reproduced when running just 0.1.4. Thermal Expansion already was on 3.0.0.7. Edited August 19, 2014 by Curunir

I wanted to knock out a few crash bugs, still going through the reports. I hadn't noticed a jetpacks bug in the issues list, I'll double-check. Also, isn't Big Reactors 4 for 1.7.10?
Curunir Posted August 19, 2014 Posted August 19, 2014 I don't know about any new dependencies in BR 0.4 other than the COFH Core, which we already have. I think something major like 1.7.x dependency would be mentioned on the changelog. ErogenousBeef is not one to forget such things. The Jetpacks issue is very strange, because it causes the Machinist's Workbench to crash the game, and in singleplayer mode only. I have used the 0.1.4.1 version on my client and local server for a few weeks, no issues since then.
EvilOwl Posted August 21, 2014 Posted August 21, 2014 (edited) BR 0.4 is definitely for 1.7.10 only. It has a hard dependency on forge 1180 1198 (just found a bug here) and CoFH for 1.7.10 The dependency is also on the official site. Edited August 21, 2014 by bochen415
Curunir Posted August 21, 2014 Posted August 21, 2014 Apologies, I just read the roadmap and changelog. The 1.7 dependecy was not mentioned there. Or I'm turning blind. That being said, I am anticipating 1.7 quite a lot by now. If you decide to alpha-test a 1.7-based Tekkit version, I'm available as a guinea pig.
EvilOwl Posted August 21, 2014 Posted August 21, 2014 (edited) Good to know.... I know something that will change your mind. TE has no ducts for this time. You will need to go with another mod for energy/item/fluid pipes. Other devs got a ton of new users because of this and some of them are working very hard to get BigReactors live and connected.

PompanoZombie Posted August 22, 2014 Posted August 22, 2014 Do you have an estimated date of when Tekki 1.2.10? So far everything has been working great. No problems yet...... yet.....

Niverton Posted August 22, 2014 Posted August 22, 2014 I think starting to test a MC 1.7.10 version of tekkit would be better than working on another 1.6 update, many mods are updated now planetguy 1

Melfice Posted August 22, 2014 Posted August 22, 2014 I think starting to test a MC 1.7.10 version of tekkit would be better than working on another 1.6 update, many mods are updated now When you say "many", do you mean "many"? Or do you mean "all"? Because, unless there are signs the mod isn't going to be updated to 1.7.x, "all" is kinda a hard requirement. (unless Skuli decides to change things up)
EvilOwl Posted August 22, 2014 Posted August 22, 2014 (edited) I think this is more complicated as "many" or "all". Some have updated, some have beta versions, some are dead or changing names and for some of them the author took a different road in life than modding. The above sentence is valid to any modpack going through Minecraft version update. Edit: If someone decides to make an alpha 1.7.10 tekkit test - count me in. I've already made a private collection based on tekkit modlist and had posted a lot issues to the authors. Edited August 22, 2014 by bochen415
TetraD Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 (edited) Tekkit 1.2.10c Cauldron v1.965.21.182 Cant disable mmpowersuits leafblower,Plasma Gun,Lux Capacitors in the mmpowersuits.cfg eg: B:"Leaf Blower"=false wont work. Can Disable Plasma Gun Land griefing by setting explosiveness to zero. Cant seem to set power usage high enough for the leafblower to disable concurrent usage. tldr: maybe somthing wrong with mmpowersuits or config Edited August 23, 2014 by TetraD
Curunir Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 I recall that we had recently somebody asking about disabling MPS items via config file, and it turned out that there are actually two config files used by MPS. Try finding the other one, and see if disabling stuff in there has the desired effect.

Try finding the other one, and see if disabling stuff in there has the desired effect. Thanks! found it! minecraft/config/machinemuse/powersuits.cfg Its a duplicate file, took forever to find. Its still odd that these BOTH in one way or another can control the mod though, counter-intuitive.... Further Shenanigans! The B:Leafblower=true line is missing from the machinemuse.cfg so you still cant properly nix it. The fix is copying B:Leafblower=false from the first file in to the second file to properly disable it. Edited August 23, 2014 by TetraD
Curunir Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 MPS is not a very clean or stable mod anyway, not even mentioning the horrible visual design. Not really surprising that it's a mess to configure. Myself, I am not even using a Powersuit any more. Simply Jetpacks with enchanted Diamond Armour (except the Chestplate) works better for me. MPS needs serious bug-fixing and cleaning-up. Maybe the 1.7 transition will bring that.

Niverton Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 I woudln't mind MPS being removed from Tekkit, it's expensive, a real pain to craft, and not fun at all. The jetpack was the only thing interesting, and now we have Simply Jetpacks, which as better integration in Tekkit because uses TE and just look better
TetraD Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 (edited) I for one Actually like mmpowersuits ( for what little time we have left with it ) you know, besides the fact that its hard to configure. ( apparently ) Besides the fact that lux capacitors bypass claims ( griefprevention ) Besides the fact that leafblowers bypass claims ( griefprevention ) Besides the fact that attempting to recolor the powerfist usually disconnects you XD.

EvilOwl Posted August 24, 2014 Posted August 24, 2014 Sidenote: Pahimar is now a father so his not focused on EE3.
TetraD Posted August 24, 2014 Posted August 24, 2014 From a server owner's perspective I NEVER liked EE anyway. Huge hassle, and not only that. What little interest i've had has been whittled away by the incredibly long intervals between updates of the mod. I probably wouldn't notice if it was removed.
Kezr Posted August 24, 2014 Posted August 24, 2014 Is Extra Utilities being considered for an update? We've been sitting on 1.0.2 for ages now, and several additions have been made since then. I've been looking forward to use the Ender Quarry, so that I can leave the faltering carcass that is Buildcraft behind.
EvilOwl Posted August 24, 2014 Posted August 24, 2014 The 1.0.3c is available from some time now for 1.6.4...
Kezr Posted August 24, 2014 Posted August 24, 2014 The 1.0.3c is available from some time now for 1.6.4... Indeed. That is why I asked. My inquiry was regarding its inclusion in the Tekkit pack. I know I could just add it in myself, but I am motivationally challenged (can't be arsed) when it comes to such things. Also, multiplayer.
