I still firmly hold that modpack users and server players don't need to be bothered with it at all for reasons I've said so many times I think I'm starting to sound like a broken record to you. Progress is still progress, though, so I'll give you that.

Progress! I hesitate to ask, but there's still no way to permanently disable update notifications, even for modpacks and servers, correct?

I saw the trailer. I see combat. That's all I see. But that tells me nothing about the pack but that it will contain combat. No clue on anything else. Crafting? Progression? Bases?

Hyped? No. To be hyped requires me to know what it is first. What I *am* is highly curious as to the nature of said modpack.

I know I don't create any mods, despite having the ideas for several, because I quite simply don't have the time. I work full-time and have other hobbies as well. If I didn't have to work then I could actually make the things bouncing around in my skull. I want to see him succeed as it'd open...

I really don't understand the kickback he's getting for daring to have a Kickstarter. It's like people have decided that all modders should do it for free in their spare time, nevermind the fact that it can take a significant amount of one's free time, if not all of it, if one is also employed...

Just know that that decision will earn you more detractors than followers and don't be irritated at us for disliking it, and sometimes your mods as well, on principle. Know that it's simply a reaction to your reaction. And you may say t hat noone suffers from it, but I disagree on that point...

But when you're also taking away tools from everyone else that's when I feel one goes too far. Remember that when you try to idiot-proof something, the universe just creates a better idiot. And all the while the standard users suffer. I think the court of public opinion shares my view on...

You can't fix stupid, Reika. Even when Azanor goes out of his way to request (but not demand) addon modmakers put their items in their own distinct tabs people still sometimes mis-attribute. No matter what you do some people will mis-attribute. There's nothing you can do about that. The best...

Shortly after the mag nerf. I took bit of a hiatus from *playing* Minecraft not too long after that. Able to do all four aspects at full speed. Perhaps Azanor feels differently than you and I on that. Just like you and I feel differently about aspects of RoC. ;) Many TC addons can...

It helps to use direct quotes instead of assumptions. ;) Interesting. I was still able to fully power an extractor using just magnetostatics post-nerf. :p To expand on that quote, I feel that hacking a mod's code without the author's express permission is wrong (outside of bugfixes and...

Now *that* is part of what I feel on the subject, but that's not what Reika said. I really don't mind if people quote me, but I *do* mind if they quote me incorrectly. >.<

I never recall saying that. Or alluding to it. Please do not speak for me unless you know how I feel about the subject. You still could ... if you ran a bunch of them together. Yay for parallelization!

They're not altering RotaryCraft. They're not changing the way the mod works. They simply took away a method to allow full-on blacklisting that removes user choice. Nothing more or less. It's not the job of any mod author to be obligated to code in blacklists or configs if they don't want...

People also 'like' without reading the discussion at hand.

My thoughts exactly. Only this time instead of Greg vs mDiyo it seems to be Reika vs ... lots. As long as they don't touch Reika's code it's no more hacking than Reika's explicit hardcoding against them. If they do touch Reika's code then yes, they're definitely in the wrong. Actually I...

Ok. So Reika hardcoded in something specifically counter to Project: E and they're hardcoding in something to specifically counter that? Wow. Not only is it karma but a bit amuzing as well. And bit unprofessional on both sides, methinks. Also it's no more wrong for one to do it than the...

Project: E won't let him add code to his own mod? I didn't know they had that power. /sarcasm On a less sarcastic note, there are always ways. I know of multiple mod authors that have coded in explicit workarounds for very specific mods. Reika's a good coder. I know it's within his...

Reika's rights, and any modder's rights, only exist as far as the boundaries of their own mods. No modder has the right to tell others how to run their own mod. If Reika must have his items blacklisted from Project: E then he should find a way to do so completely internal to his own mods ...

The first bit is well within their rights as it's their mod and their balance. It's also a mod that kinda thrives on inter-compatibility with other mods. If they don't want to allow blacklists then they shouldn't be forced to just for you or any other mod author. As for the second part ...
