    Gregtech deliberately crashing client if TC installed..

    If they don't, then I it might be time to start thinking about dropping FTB. There are some lines that shouldn't be crossed and forcing game crashes because he doesn't like it when modders do to him what he does to modders is one of them. GT has always been controversial and even though I...

    GregTech Has Gone Too far

    I wonder what more it would take for GregTech to be pulled from all versions of the 1.6.x mod packs. By forcing crashes he's essentially shipping malware with his mod, and while I don't use Tinker's Construct I see a lot of discussion about it. Short of distributing viruses that start...

    GregTech Has Gone Too far

    I agree, it's never good to blame people for things they didn't do. You have to admit though, it's awfully telling how many people immediately assume GregTech any time they come across something they feel is stupid and/or unreasonable. Greg earned that distinction, even if he didn't...

    Better Than A Let's Play (Monster) - It Doesn't Have to Hurt

    Updated with update #4 of the Global Builders' Guide project. Two towers left to build and only a few more hiccups to work out for solo turtle building.

    Need a turtle logging program that won't break when the server resets

    You can keep track by writing to a file. You don't write a new location until the move is finished, so if the move doesn't finish (restart), the turtle will boot up to a save state file saying basically, "I was at x, y, z facing <d> direction and about to move <m> direction" as the last...

    Misc Peripherals (?) available in Ultimate in creative, but not survival?

    Try looking for the peripherals themselves or, if not special peripherals (ie. REther module), just try putting them in a crafting grid. NEI doesn't always show everything that's possible. When in doubt, remember that we don't gather materials to NEI things, we gather materials to craft...

    Need a turtle logging program that won't break when the server resets

    That's one way to do it, and I think the key that makes 'recovery' after a server restart possible is that your turtle has a 'hard drive' just like a computer does, and a file system API (search 'Fs (API)' on the wiki) that allows a person to make use of it. You could use the rednet GPS system...

    Computer Craft: XP Turtle.

    Someone else can answer that. I don't know whether to be offended or disappointed. We're talking about scripts that are under 5 lines of code each. You can earn it.

    Computer Craft: XP Turtle.

    setAutoCollect (true) will enable automatic collection of nearby xp orbs. enchant(30) would enchant the item in the currently selected slot with a random level 30 enchant provided the turtle has enough xp...

    1.6.2 Packs

    Yes, you can play 1.5 or 1.4.7 now and play them until you're ready to reset the world and then update to the latest pack at that time. As far as worlds getting broken, that's unavoidable when you're trying to mod something as heavily as the FTB packs do. MC changes, Forge changes, mods...

    1.6.2 Packs

    This is why not all of us update or seek to update every time Mojang releases a new Minecraft update. Mojang pays its Minecraft devs to work full time hours and produce updates. Mod developers don't get paid to update their mods so it's only natural that they lag behind, especially when you're...

    Should ftb be... harder?

    I play in survival rather than creative because it has different gameplay mechanics. I think you're getting hung up on a word, insisting the game 'should' play a certain way based on the name of the game mode. It's a casual game. If I want something else, I play something else. I don't...

    Should ftb be... harder?

    If you want a 'challenging' survival mode experience where the monsters are 'challenging', play vanilla Minecraft. If you decide you want to start piling mods on, either on your own or with packs, then it would make sense that you'd adjust your perception of challenge alongside that. It...

    Should ftb be... harder?

    I think that people start seeing FTB and this or that mod/mod pack as being "too easy" because they keep comparing it to vanilla MC. It makes more sense to look at the in-game systems for what they are and then decide what you can do with them that suits your notion of challenge than it is to...

    computer craft monitor help

    It's very tempting when someone has an issue they're trying to work through to suggest alternatives, but it's also not very constructive. They're not asking what options they have to see the time in the game, they're asking what they need to correct in their code to display their output to a...

    computer craft monitor help

    ComputerCraft doesn't interact with chat that I know of. That script you're looking at, when written correctly, would output the text to a ComputerCraft monitor.

    You have to use the monitor handle you assigned. ie instead of print ("stuff") you would use Mon.print ("stuff")

    Re ultimate wood chopper turtle program.....problems

    Just to help you out, this isn't a multi-mod support forum. If you've found the ComputerCraft main site, on that site will be contact information for the devs. I would encourage you, however, to not contact the ComputerCraft devs about this because it's not an issue with the mod. It's an...

    Re ultimate wood chopper turtle program.....problems

    When I was in highschool I wrote programs in the same style as this one...bloated with all manner of extraneous fluff. The challenge with writing this kind of script is that anyone else who is trying to discover what the source of a problem might be is so exhausted by the time they get through...
