The Wine thing was an off-hand comment, my main point was that if I was still using Linux primarily I'd be happy with the API or direct downloads, whichever they choose to provide. But yeah, this clearly isn't going anywhere, we both have opinions that aren't going to shift anytime soon so I'm...

There are plenty of developers which don't make nor support any form of Linux version. I've used Linux as a primary OS before, I'd be happy with this. Hell, I'd be happy with Wine.

Git is pretty much SVN, but... better :P The basic process for what you'll need to do is: "Fork" the original FTB Launcher repo (hereafter referred to as Slowpoke's repo). This gives you a copy of the launcher under your own account, that you can modify as you wish. This copies the whole repo...

See this post from a while ago. APIs generally have the potential to do everything the original software can do, at least the good ones do (think Twitter, Riot Games, so on).

If you're not experienced with Git, feel free to download the enUS file, modify it and upload it on this thread. Either a launcher dev will pick it up and add it to the repo, or someone will create a request to get it added :)

Agreed on OBS. If you can wrangle the settings (confusing at first, but it's good power to have). You shouldn't have to record high-quality for this, or commentate the recording. Just as long as someone watching it can see what you're doing, that's good enough, or at least it should be.

That's not being caught cheating, that's an internet issue. If you're caught cheating it says "Could not register time. You have been caught cheating". Edit: I'm an idiot, didn't look at the top line. Ignore me :P

They'd start shouting their nonsensical messages instead of typing them xD

I just tested a spam post with this tool (perfectly relevant name, by the way), it looks like links in posts are nofollow. Others, like navigation links, however, are follow. Edit: Considering how fast the spam posts are removed anyway, I'd be surprised if bots got to it before it got removed.

What about the disability mode that plays an audio file? I've never seen a CAPTCHA which doesn't have that, besides FTB wiki's old system (the one that relied on questions about FTB and community). Edit: Also, way more than one in a million ;)

There's AreYouAHuman, it's at http://areyouahuman.com/ I've not done, or seen detailed tests of its ability to stop bots, but I work on a (non-FTB) wiki and as of yet we haven't gotten a single spambot.

Huh. I just couldn't be bothered walking 2 metres to my linux box to check :P

Skype's a surprisingly common culprit for port stealing, albeit more common for web servers. Torrenting can be a problem as well, as both will often just pick a random port on startup and go with it. Anyway, bring up command prompt (windows key + r, then type "cmd" and hit enter). Type this in...

Oh. Oh wow. That's unfortunate.

Sounds like something Nana said a while ago about the support mail. He said something about how the support emails piled up and jammed the mail server, maybe that's what happened and this is the result from it unfreezing. Would explain both Golrith not getting emails, and craploads of emails...

See: http://forum.feed-the-beast.com/threads/this-is-not-the-place-for-tech-support.645/ tldr: Please place support requests at http://support.feed-the-beast.com/ This section is (as I understand it) only for confirmed bugs and feature/feedback suggestions for the launcher.

Oh hush xD

I brought something like this up a while ago, everyone just laughed at me :P

Chances are, you forgot a folder. There's a second FTB config folder that you have to delete for a clean install. Press windows key+r Type "%appdata%", press enter Rename "ftblauncher" to something else, like "ftb old" or similar. If you're sure you don't need it, you can delete it Do the fresh...
