    Modular Powersuits Lux Capacitor: How?

    Wow. now that's a weird way of enabling something. I really dislike using the middle mouse button of my mouse as it usually scrolls before pressing, and isn't really a "button". Is there an alternate configuration? Also, these things are pretty interesting. Just tried them out in a timber...

    Modular Powersuits Lux Capacitor: How?

    I've been trying to figure out how to use the Lux Capacitor module for the power fist. I installed it. Got plenty of charge in the tool, etc. There's no config slider for it. When I pull up the key binding interface, the module does not show up to be able to be switched on/off by a key...

    Swimming in Tin and Copper now

    You know what I did? I copied all the mods to my custom mod pack and just let them build their own .cfg files instead of using the ones from the DW20 pack. d'oh. So, ALL of the mods enabled their stuff by default. Hence the abundance of ores. Syncing the DW20 cfg files to mine now.

    Swimming in Tin and Copper now

    I pretty much use the mods that Direwolf uses, with the addition of a few specific others that I really enjoy. I was playing a single player game in 1.4.7 and I did notice that Copper is rather hard to come by in any kind of quantity. It spawns closer to the surface, and Tin spawns much...

    Biomes O Plenty = Great but no IC2 Rubber

    I never had one close up unless I accidentally tried to tap it when it wasn't ready. But again, with the gravity gun I was just making a huge wall of just the resin hole blocks and it was super fast to go out and tap a bunch of them fast. I can see how an auto farm would do well with the MFR...

    Would 16GB of RAM help?

    I did the affinity trick when I ran SMP, and it helped a LOT. I used 0-3 for the server and 4-7 for the client. Then when the client inevitably crashed, I'd start it back up and immediately set the affinity to the newest java process to 4-7. <javarant>Why on earth can't the processes be named...

    Would 16GB of RAM help?

    Well, I can try it again. I know it was horrible how long it took to load when I did that before. The biggest problem is that I was actually logged in for about 30 seconds BEFORE the game came up. That means my character was on the server, frozen, until my client decided to give me control...

    Would 16GB of RAM help?

    Oh, I understand the cross-platform benefits and all. Its just that when a person has developed in .net for enough years, some of the stuff Java does seems more than a little insane. Especially when it comes to intuitive interface development.

    Lots of mods = Shutting Down Internal Server

    Yeah I know I can do it that way but in that case I can have ONLY one instance. Plus I can't run it as-it-was anymore. Plus, whenever there's an update, it'll nag me to do the update, which would erase all my changes. The FTB modpack launcher just isn't made for building your own modpacks, it...

    Would 16GB of RAM help?

    Wow, y'all... and people wonder why we Windows developers hate Java so much. :p Many thanks for giving me parameters I can paste into my game though!

    Conductive pipes: Am I doing it wrong?

    hmm nope. I suppose that would be consistent with the whole "wooden = output" philosophy. I got spoilt on the TE conduits, and how much they make sense. ^_^

    Conductive pipes: Am I doing it wrong?

    Anybody else noticing that Buildcraft's conductive pipes (any type) don't actually transmit energy any more? If I want to get energy from an engine to a machine, I have to use Thermal Expansion Redstone Energy Conduits (which is more of a mid game thing). Placing an engine next to a conductive...

    Biomes O Plenty = Great but no IC2 Rubber

    I did find some MFR rubber trees, but I find them harder to harvest because what I usually do with the IC2 trees is grow a bunch of them, and then use the gravity gun to move the "good" tree blocks into a big wall, so I can just take an electric treetap and quickly get a stack of rubber from...

    Biomes O Plenty = Great but no IC2 Rubber

    The only solution I can think of it they are that rare is to start the game with a cheated-in 4 saplings and build a farm from there. If trying to play the game legit, its just way too far to search on foot to try and find 1 or 2 specific biomes they might be in. If there was a config option...

    Biomes O Plenty = Great but no IC2 Rubber

    I finally updated my used mods to include the newer stuff I haven't used before. Been waiting in vain for Redpower and Xycraft to update to 1.5.2 but doesn't look like its going to happen. Anyway, with this mod Biomes O Plenty, I love it, but wow I flew around in creative mode for 20 minutes...

    Would 16GB of RAM help?

    makes sense. I stuck my arguments back to what I had them without the permsize setting, but with the max setting to 128. I also updated the game library. So far, no crashes and I've been doing a lot of flying around in creative mode loading chunks etc. Amazing how much this stuff affects...

    Would 16GB of RAM help?

    If you look at this thread of mine: I am using the JVM Arguments that Eyamaz recommended. No, I don't know what I'm doing but clearly he does. Now, with you giving me contradicting information, I have no idea what's the right parameters to use. I do know that the game won't even load unless...

    Random crashes

    I only removed it because someone said to not use the update. I just put it back in and am testing to see if it fixes the crashing.

    Random crashes

    hmm, I don't know about the LWJGL library update... as in, I just now heard of it in my other (16GB) thread in this same forum. Someone suggested updating the libraries. So I did. Then someone else said to NOT do this because it makes more bugs than it fixes. So I removed it. Not sure who's...
