ScumCraft: Big Changes (plus SP2 world download)

Activity on the main ScumCraft server has been low lately for a variety of reasons. Most people have pretty much finished playing there, have started looking at 1.7 mods, are playing on AgSkies, or just don't have time. So, it's time for a change and to try some new things. The world has been uploaded and packed with the world files, mod folder, and configs, and is available for download here. There will be no support for this pack, so if something breaks, you'll have to use some creativity (and Google) to fix it.

So what's happening now?
A new 1.6.4 pack is being created for testing. Some mods are being removed, some are being added, and most mods will be updated where possible. The full list of changes, as well as download links for the mods/configs will be posted as soon as initial testing is finished. Come to IRC to give your ideas/input on what you might want to see for the next pack. Until this test pack is ready for mass testing, the main server will remain as is with the current 2.0 pack.

What about 1.7?
Mods are starting to happen for 1.7, and a lot of them are just coming out of testing. There are still a LOT of bugs, a lot of things that aren't ready, and a lot more testing/fixes/updates to be done before we can start putting together a fully-loaded server pack for 1.7. It is in the works and I'm keeping an eye on the updates. As things get released, we can test them out in SSP. As far as a timeframe on this, I don't expect to have a 1.7 modpack ready until 1.8 forge/mods start happening. At that time, most of our favorite mods will likely be fully updated for 1.7.

Other minor news:
I updated the sidebar so it's not as overwhelming and simply directs to a post with the instructions.

AgSkies config update - Spawn Egg Recipes

Reset spawn egg recipes back to what they were because requiring a Tier 2 Blood Magic thing to finish an early game quest is beyond retarded.

Download this MineTweaker folder and replace the one in your config folder (FTB/AgrarianSkiesHQ/minecraft/config)

Having this updated config file allows the updated recipe to show in NEI as well as work on the server.

AgSkies Modpack Update/Server Restart

AS 2.1.4 broke. I've tried to fix it and it's all f'd up. So we're gonna update to the latest stable version (2.1.8) that should have a lot of the bugs fixed.

Next time you open the FTB launcher for AS, choose version 2.1.8 and update the pack. No changes to the pack/configs are necessary this time (unless you want MouseTweaks, OptiFine, etc - see post Client side mods.)

Because of this, it's time to clean up the ages. These are what we have right now:

2) After everything loads, close Minecraft to go back to the FTB launcher.

Please read a little bit about the modpack first so you know what it's about.

Bug: TE ducts

Placing items next to an existing item duct or fluiduct that could possibly connect to the inventory is very likely to cause a ticking error. This will result in a client crash for anyone entering the area.

To avoid this, place any TE ducts to be connected LAST.

Config update (4/28/14)

* Updated RailCraft furnace recipe for creosote oil (no more accidentally smelting coal into creosote bottles).

* Changed server spawn protection from 7 to 1.

Bug: Barrels Mod

There's a bug if you put items with hidden data in one of the barrels from The Barrels Mod. Things like forestry saplings, bees, enderchest/pouches, etc. It crashes the client of anyone who gets near the area. If you crash, you should be able to log in long enough to break the offending barrel and everything will go back to normal. If this happens to you, please break the barrel before leaving for the night so no one else unknowingly crashes in your area.
