Update to 1.4.5

[Fuzzzie]

I was just wondering if there has been news of a 1.4.5 update for FTB. As far as I'm aware just about every mod has been updated. Was hoping we could think about updating the server I play on since TC3 is out now. Haven't seen any news posts or tweets from slowpoke about FTB in a while.

So any idea?

I think they're waiting for Redpower.

Sounds about right. My personal impression from DW20's server series is just that. Though, it may also be a hold while awaiting Equivalent Exchange 3, which is an important component to creating the FTB pyramid and may also very well be a holding point. Of course without official word, they could bloody well hit us all over the head with some sort of randomness too. Trolling for love.

And with the indications so far, everything in every mod is a flying leap farther ahead from what the first pyramid FTB map uses. I cannot begin to imagine what kind of evil Slowpoke is going to conjure with the updated mods, let alone Xycraft and Thaumcraft involved in all probability.

Whatever is coming, it was ooze, bleed, breathe, and fart concentrated awesome.

EE3 is open source, so you can see the exact progress. However, it really is very new still. As of now, the Minium Stone remains the only object. ( Well, P-Stone might finally be working if you built EE3 yourself, but it'd just be the same as a Minium Stone atm. ) He's currently working on Bags and a few other backend stuff.

Awesome. Thanks for the update. Sorry I didn't see the thread. I've been busy today!

Great news on RP2 too! With TC3 out now and EE3's 2nd pre-release supposedly due any day now, I can't wait to sink my teeth into a new world with all this cool stuff.

My only hope is that Mojang doesn't plop out another damn update that sets everything back another 2 weeks!

Cheers!

No updates from Mojang until January, we'll be fine.

Perhaps the best part of MC 1.5 is they should be getting the mod API set up so mods will stop breaking each update. Due in January, if I remember the news post on the MC forums.

That is false information, there will be no mod API in January.

1.5 is the redstone update, basically working on fixing everything to do with redstone and changing how it behaves (more of an analogue signal rather than a digital one).

Bah...must be getting old. Memory's failin' me.

I give no f@#&$ about redstone, so for me personally, once FTB is updated with all the top mods I'll be sticking with 1.4.5 for quite a long time.

 

[Rick]

Other ppl like me do care about redstone.

And seriously loaders and unloaders in vanilla minecraft is something that they should have done ages ago. I just hope they do it like the railcraft ones and dont fuck it up.

Hopefully you won't need to. We plan to update often so the pack stays up-to-date with the mods and with Minecraft.

 

[Rick]

So is FTB for 1.45 coming out today or? Heard some ppl saying this.

 

[Mikey_R]

It will most likely come out when Redpower is released, which, last I heard, there was 3 serious bugs remaining. So hopefully very soon.

 

[Kagbok]

As of a couple of days ago, Extra Biomes was still broken in the latest 1.4.5 versions of forge, so that's another reason to wait.

 

[Rick]

So anyone know how to get the FTB launcher to download minecraft 1.4.5? Iam trying to manually update the pack but it keeps using 1.4.2....

 

[Mikey_R]

You can't use the FTB launcher, you will have to do the modding yourself.

When they update the FTB pack to 1.4.5 then it will do it automatically.

 

[Rick]

No iam manually dumping the mods in the mod folder just i want ftb to use minecraft 1.4.5 instead of 1.4.2
