I agree. Even a custom zip feature like Technic's would have been better than this. :/

Thaumcraft was the last SSP holdout, I believe. All mods are SMP now by definition. I think in the future, Technic and Tekkit will have different purposes. Like, I'd imagine Tekkit would still be a lot more Multiplayer oriented, using BukkitForge to provide Bukit functionality, and Technic...

heavymetal: wha? Technic is the one with a good private pack feature ATM, not FTB. And you're right. I do foresee Technic and Tekkit finding a different way to separate them in the future.

NooBcGockeL: That's not forbidden at all. In fact, I once made a tool that did exactly that.

frederikam is banned for not understanding. EDIT: Damn. Vegoraptor is banned for not knowing about the tentacle.

ShneekeytheLost: See my earlier posts re: private packs going viral. As I've said there, nobody wants to use JSTRCraft's server pack. They'll be wanting Mindcrack, or possibly Direwolf pack, maybe FTB Ultimate when it's out. Private packs, and let me say this again, shouldn't need...

Weren't we supposed to get back on topic? Really? Modders' motivations are neither here nor there, and I realise this is what every Technic related thread is doomed to fall into, but why don't we take this argument, table it, and start a new thread about it later? Heck, I'll start it if y'all...

I'm against making all my users wait through hours of adf.ly links, hence the point of a server pack in the first place.

Personally, I'm waiting for them to do what Sengir did with Technic (in a milder way) and just have their mods refuse to load if GregTech is present. That'd be an even better troll, and a good nudge for Greg to just go make his own mod.

It's not a violation of modders' rights, just their visions. I don't think SpaceToad would like GregTech cheapening his gates in FOD. I don't think Sengir wants his diamantine tubes to be exchanged with something that doesn't even require any diamonds. Basically, GregTech, when used, goes...

heh, several of the people on Mindcrack whose videos I watch constantly rage at GregTech anyway. Bdubs, Zisteau, Generik, heck, even Etho's not a fan.

True, it's an optional addon. What I'm saying is that I'm against the way he does things, and personally, I think it goes afoul of the FTB "modders first" philosophy, and probably shouldn't be included because of that.

I understand. You're not the one being screwed over. The IC2 devs, the BC devs, heck, he was even going to change RP2. How do you think Eloraam would have taken it? Honestly. I understand an "addon", but his is more of a "remove-on" or a "change-entirely-on" than an addon.

The thing is, with the stuff he wants, he should have made his own mod, from scratch, instead of screwing with everyone else's "vision". He has a vision? OK, fine. Let him create his vision, in his way, instead of screwing everyone else's vision over. I mean, I guess I should be kinda grateful...

Please tell me there's a GregTech exception? D:

The combine/logger/other Forestry harvester, if it were smart, would also catch world ticks, and check then, not on a game tick. World ticks are random, and can happen anywhere from 1 second to 5 minutes. That would use a lot less CPU/RAM than checking 20 times a second. In fact, seeing as...

Honestly, it's because of Mojang's loose licencing, (and Curse and MCForums' "pick names out of a hat" moderation policy) that all of this happens. If I were to put together a pack of all the best mods for Half-Life 2, or Knights of the Old Republic, and host it, people wouldn't care. (Well...

That's not hard, in fact, if you like, I can link you an "easy-mode" config. (Let's not call it easy mode, as it's more of a "LEAVE MY DAMN STUFF ALONE" mode)

I'd love to have JSTR in there, (preferably above Sphax :P ) so yeah. If it's about permissions, (which would be ever so typical here) they've got mine.

GregTech is a bad mod, and you should feel bad. /troll
