Ooo. I have to hit up the store. Maybe I will pick up some pretzels while I'm there :D If she died, I would be sad. Death is sad, and I'm sure she would be missed. On a slightly more serious note - that's exactly why I advocate setting time limits on when a mod needs to be updated by and...

RetroGamer - well then you should understand why people get so upset that she hasn't been heard from. RP2 is a big mod, and if everything else gets updated except for that, it would be a huge problem for the packs that use it. Nobody is saying she doesn't have a legitimate reason for not being...

Agreed on that. I've heard she's had death threats and that's definitely not cool. But that doesn't mean she couldn't release information through someone else. If *anyone* got word from her that she's working on it, then none of these threads would appear. But it's been 2 months since anyone has...

I'm fine with waiting up until a point. Obviously there are people here who have already run out of patience. My point was never ZOMG UPDATE NAO! My point was that I think there should be a standard set for inclusion, that's all. Keep everyone on the same page, updates at regular intervals, as...

We're not saying that the mod authors don't have real lives. In fact, look and you'll see I've said the exact opposite quite a few times. What we are saying is that it is unfair to the other mod developers to be kept waiting on a mod in a pack to be updated if the rest of the mods are ready...

If that's the case, then the mod should be dropped. There is no reason she would want her mod to be kept a secret if everyone else is waiting for her to update it. That's just dumb.

As long as it's compatible, then it wouldn't matter. We were discussing supported versions. That doesn't necessarily mean the *actual* version number - it means what version numbers it works with. So 1.5 vs 1.5.1 for example. If everything works that was written for 1.5 in 1.5.1, then there's no...

Where are you seeing 1.6 information? They don't even have a pre-release available for that yet. The latest snapshot is 13w11a and that's 1.5.1. I totally agree with you on the other point - we don't know if Elo has been chatting with anyone else, but don't you think that any of them would...

I don't think RP2 should be removed *yet* I think it's a conversation that should be going on, though. I think it should be *considered* removing it if no one hears from Elo in the not too distant future. 35% of the existing mods have a NO status in the 1.5 compatibility list. That means the...

You mean have a 1.4.7 pack with it and a 1.5 pack without it?

The time period before a mod must be ready would have to be longer than the update cycle, obviously. Whatever it is that the FTB team agrees upon. There is no way that Mojang would be releasing a full version update every month and a half. Smaller revisions, yes, but not a full version release...

I think you get the point, though. Whatever is the most widely accepted "right" and legal way to do it. I don't want to make this a semantics argument. The point is, there's no standards and I feel there should be. I think we would have fewer of these kinds of problems if there were. Putting in...

I guess it's a matter of who is truly in charge of the mods that are in FTB - the modpack creators or the FTB team. Whomever it is, I think the mod authors should be in communication with them in a timely matter. That was my point. It's not my decision no matter how you slice it. I'm just saying...

It IS something to be concerned about when it affects people other than yourself. A modpack cannot be updated unless all the mods in the pack are updated. Period. If one author is dragging down the rest of the bunch, that's not fair to any of the other authors.

Personally, I would be saying that Railcraft should be dropped if the author was MIA too. I'm not trying to single Elo out, don't misunderstand. My point is that without standards, then the authors update "when they want to" like you said. That's not good when you can't release a pack until all...

Except that King Lemming's TE is already 1.5 compatible AND he is always speaking to the community. So yes, more mod authors should be like King Lemming. You can't just remove the mod and install what you see fit. If the rest of the mods all update to 1.5, then the ones that aren't can't even...

It's only been a month since 1.5 was released, so at this point, I'm not exactly disagreeing with you on that. However, Elo does have a history of being out of touch. 2/3's of the existing mods are 1.5 compatible or working on it already and we don't even know if Elo wants to even continue...

24/67 are in NO status. That's 35%. Clearly the majority are either ready or working on it. I don't think that's really the issue, though. I think the problem is that Elo is always MIA so we have no idea where the future of RP is at. That coupled with the fact that she has a history of being...

That's for the FTB team to decide, ultimately. My whole argument is that there should be a set standard, though, that everyone has to adhere to. This way everyone is always on the same page as far as the development cycle goes and we can do away with posts like these because we'll know it will...

I actually agree with all of this. However, the only people that suffer if a mod author doesn't communicate in a timely manner are the FTB users. That's why I suggested a set of standards. Like some form of communications once every two weeks, or something like that. We all know real life gets...
