I think you missed his point… instead of you asking your friends to install this mod that you want on your server, you are asking the ModPack Author to include it so EVERYONE has it on their machines… not to mention that in order to do this, the ModPack Author has to support the mod interaction and potential bugs that may arise…
That is specifically what I was asking, yes. It's more subtle that way and nobody I know is opposed to having it, they just don't like the extra step...
I have not encountered any problems with this mod, it even works with SmartMoving which is notorious for conflicts concerning player entities. I have used it with Flan's mods as well which have had similar conflicts in the past. I wouldn't ask for it if I were unsure about this, I've never asked for MorePlayerModels in the past for that reason, and I myself stopped using it in favor of something a lot more compatible in general with other mods.
If ever I find a conflict with that mod, I always alert the author. I frequently use test builds of it on SSP worlds, but if you are aware of something it doesn't work with, I'd like to know, as I often build my own private packs as well as use pre-built ones.
Exactly this.
Kazekai, have you considered privately hosting a modified version of this pack? I think it may be the right solution for you.
You can customize the pack however you wish. (I'm not exactly sure what permissions are required for privately hosting a pack, but I wouldn't imagine anyone refusing it for private packs.)
I...don't understand your response. I actually did do this for naturalMagic where I just uploaded an edited version of the pack to MediaFire and only gave the link to users, but then it had a justified reason because it added in Biomes O' Plenty which used to be in that pack but was later removed (and unless it's a skyblock, survival island, or...whatever crash landing is, I refuse to play without a biome gen, minecraft is just too boring without them.) Everyone, for the most part, was in agreement with this, and everyone, for the most part, used parts of that mod, but it also takes a lot longer to download packs from mediafire and a little more work to get such instances set up. (The people I play with are lazy ;v) and even with that instance, it was still met with resistance initially, and I really just don't want to get made fun of for what everyone else considers ridiculous fanaticism. That was why I initially asked.
I feel like there is some miscommunication here and I'm not sure if it's my failing to explain or not.
Actually, In his original post, he explained that this is what he is already doing... He asked the mod to be included so he would not have to ask his friends to update their local client separately to match his server.
Basically that, yes.
Also I'm not a he.
I will most likely stick the mod on my client either way and if it makes me look incomplete to everyone else they can just suck it...unfortunately I know way too many people who are perfectly fine with that and that really bothers me. >_> So that's why I asked.
Edit: Actually I might just switch to my other skin if it doesn't get added. Showing up without ears or a tail for other people would just bother me way too much especially if I ended up in screenshots. -_-
