1.7.10 Minecraftia at Arms 3.1

[galacticwarrior9]

 

It's a brave, new world for all you steves out there....
In 2045 AD the Kingdom of Minecraftia violently fragmented into a collection of factions and quasi-states fighting for control. Amidst the chaos, the mobs arrived, and with one savage strike, brought Minecraftia to its knees. The genocide and pillage that followed was so terrible that the seas were awash with blood and deserts were stained with a deep hue of red. The masses fled to the far reaches of space, but some remained. Now as some stabilize their primitive civilization, the ultimate warrior king rides with a million zombies at his back. It is truly the end of days.

 

Minecraftia at Arms is a semi-hardcore modpack. If the mobs won't overwhelm you, hunger will as you are forced to the surface to grow food. From your humble beginnings with flint pickaxes all the way to colonizing Mars, you will face enemies throughout the way! How will you survive? Or indeed, how long? Can you create a civilization that will stand the test of time?

Craft turrets to defend your base, engineer tanks and planes to literally blast your way through sticky situations. Mobs will randomly form groups and will call for reinforcements if attacked. Protect your base with blastproof blocks, and create grand quarries, processing facilities and structures. And if that's not enough, create a server and war with your friends!

 

This modpack uses HQM and Iguana's Tweaks for TiC. Mekanism is in the modpack, though the tech-tree and recipes have been customized for the modpack.

If you experience any bugs I recommend you post on this thread, or on the modpack discussion tab.

The 1.7.10 Modpack

[galacticwarrior9]

I've created a tutorial for Thermal Expansion 4 for newbies with this modpack in mind

http://www.planetminecraft.com/blog/modded-minecraft-doubling-your-ores-thermal-expansion-34/

 

Also I'd love to see your creations Post them, even if it's only a dirt house!

 

2.2 will be coming out within two weeks including a full rewrite of the quests (excluding the Mekanism branch), more mods, 2x more tanks and guns, sentry turrets, updated mods, helicopters and possibly SecurityCraft!

I've compiled the server files for 2.1.1 (inc. Cauldron before the DMCA drama closed it). If you need it, just ask!

If I have enough time I'll up the spawnrate of the huge, somewhat rare dungeons and make BattleTower loot more rewarding (and hard)

 

Did you like the modpack? Any feedback? Please post on this thread If there's a mod suggestion I'll see if it fits into the pack and let you know if I added it!

Some people might be wondering if the modpack is dead or not...

Don't worry, it isn't!

However, progress is slow on the next update due to various mod issues, a very slow computer that causes everything to freeze, homework out of this world and permission trolls.

A lot of work has been done however with the help of Minetweaker and Modtweaker and I hope to release it within 2 weeks at least.

if your passive griefing is done by special mobs or special ais from fathertoast, don't they lag at all? what's your configurations like? since I've got a 1.6 modpack that I've wanted passive griefing in but it causes even the internal server in singleplayer to have hitches. :< ... and don't the mobs randomly just go out and grief underground structures and their own dungeons if they break cobble and stuff?

They do break dungeons - I mean, it does make sense - if I was a zombie and I was sitting in a dungeon, I'd want to break out. However, they can't break mossy stone which can keep them trapped - this is intentional. However, I forgot that most battletowers were made out of cobble, so I'll be removing that specific feature in the next update.

 

It is indeed done by SpecialAI and for me so far it doesn't have a major performance effect - the block list is quite small at the moment. It could be the fact you're on 1.6.4, though I'm not sure. It's best if you contact FatherToast for that kind of stuff

I did indeed tinker around with the grief_scan, grief_delay and some other properties and lowered them slightly to ease the lag however.

thank you for the straight answer... my pack feels sort of like yours in a way (my pack is literally the next one on the list here). only mine would be 100% unfair and 100% more OP if passive griefing could be worked to only happen when close to aggro range with a player and wouldn't cause gradual internal freezing even in single player. given how far things are into 1.7 I highly doubt I could get something out of him, but I suppose it's worth a shot.

Managed to grab a beta build of Cauldron for Forge 1217 and patched it through some IRC log magic, will test on server files -

[galacticwarrior9]

Uploaded config + script files onto Github. Feel free to have a look at the configs/scripts and submit pull requests on them. I also don't mind if you use them for learning, just don't copy them outright. Redirect all bug reports there.

OHHHHH YOU JUST GOT LIKED!

So, I am having problems with the quests. On the very first basic technology quest, I crafted a heat generator(twice) but it didn't count it as done. Also, I seem to always crash when I extend my drawbridge. Any clue why?

[galacticwarrior9]

Unfortunately I have been extremely busy over the last few months, and now since the first 1.8 mods are coming out I will be updating the modpack to that version when I put out an update

[galacticwarrior9]

3.0
 
The update you've been waiting for!

I finally caved in - I couldn't leave you guys to wait until 1.8, so the update is here! If I posted a changelog, I would have to spend a few dozen minutes, something I wouldn't like to do, but the changes will be apparent as soon as you launch the main menu.

Many mods have been removed and many mods have been added. I've also fixed a lot of bugs and made some performance and stability fixes. Overall, the modpack is a lot more lightweight, less laggy and much less buggy. Quests are better and more coherent. Mobs are harder, but not necessarily unbeatable. The modpack also comes with yShaders by default (thanks sensei277).
