[1.7.10] [WIP] [Jampacked 2] Elementary

Loke · May 14, 2015

Credits to TwiiCe for making the picture.

Note: This modpack is in development and will therefore perhaps differ from the finished one. All bugs and balance issues should be reported to me, and me only. Don't bother the mod developers with bugs that may have been caused by me messing around with things.

The modpack is featuring different dimensions, where different mods are used. Of the four elemental dimensions, each one has it's own way of resource accumulation and it's own set of mods that are used for completion. In each dimension you will face a boss as a final challenge.

You wake up all alone in a bunker. You can't recall anything. At first glance, you appear to be alone. A more thourough look confirms that you are alone. However, you do have a book in your hand. In this book, someone is communicating with you, someone from another world. He tells you about another world, a world of wonders. He offers you a place in this world, with only a small catch. You have to retrieve a few things for him. These things are located in different dimensions, the four elemental dimensions. You embark on the quest for a better life.

None of the mods used in this modpack have been made by me. All the necessary permissions have been obtained. You are not allowed to redistribute the modpack or the individual mods. Credits to Incompetech for making most of the music used in this pack.

Pack code is: ElementaryMyDearWatson.

Testing it now n.n

MinecraftMart · May 14, 2015

1. You spawn in creative, you have 18 levels.

2. Did you make this on a NASA computer? I have a damn good pc but the framerate is waaay to loow. What did you do

3. Try to use lockdown, so every world you make is the same.

DoomSquirter · May 15, 2015

I gave it a shot, same as above, ur in creative and have levels, etc. the book is in edit mode too

I went to each of the dimensions and things seemed haphazard and hazardous since I had no clue what I was doing.

u have mystcraft AND rftools? U also have just about every mod possible which is cool in and of itself but I see alot of issues down the line because of it.

Aura Cascade and avent* whatever it's called. never used these mods and the mobs just killed me outright when I crossed to other dimensions.

For instance, why do I have a hazmat suit on when I cross over to air dimension? Any reason? Losing all ur stuff when u go through portal is a pita too but I'm assuming you did that on purpose.

I will definately play again tho once it's a bit more polished. Cause it definately looked interesting and it seems like you put alot of effort into it.

Edit: I'd also add fastcraft to pack, I did and my frames were just fine and I don't have a godlike pc.

Magzie · May 15, 2015

hey magzie here,

Seemed interesting so i'm trying it out. Just FYI 1.1 has you starting in creative. Didn't know if you knew that. You can jump into lan and switch back over to surv for those trying it. Also i believe it is still in edit mode.

Magzie · May 15, 2015

To test your game and see what the player will see you first have to disable edit mode. To do this exit out of Minecraft and go into minecraft/config/hqm . Open up the hqmconfig.config file (or depending on your version this may be in the editmode.cfg file) and change the "quests.B:UseEditor" attribute from "true" to "false".

FYI

Note if you are trying this fix make sure to exit completely out of the game and reload.

As for the frams problem seems fine might need to lower video setting.

Magzie · May 15, 2015

One more thing. Of coarse he plans to use lock down but till then you can go to option and click on resource packs and then click on open resource file. That will take you out of the game and to the file location where you can then copy the map under saves just in case you need to try something different.

Magzie · May 15, 2015

Ok first thoughts and i know this is in progress. But the start quest feel real confusing. I mean the first quest has you going to a spot for no reason just to get a QDS which really does you no good as it is stuck in the main world and you don't get to take items to the other worlds? Also you then just skip to assuming they will be taking one of the portals and then to after beating the boss/finding the item there or what ever. I think the quest could be reorganized some to let the players know hey one nothing goes through with you, 2 nothing comes back out, and 3 hey you need to go through the portal first thing. I also feel like once you go through a portal you should a one way trip for a while atleast, and then put a linking book in each world somewhere near the boss so as they are required to do alittle work to get back.

A Few Bug/ Notes!
1. When you die it teleports you out side the main world's Bunker.
2. Water world you start with just about everything you would ever needs which is way to strong. Needs to be more tiers or give as quest rewards in stages or something.
3. In the water world you have 2 blaze powders and a mag torch. Maybe your supposed to but I assume they were forget to delete things.
4. Need a safe area to portal in to the fire zone as there is a mob the attacks right when you step out of the portal. also you start with a few thing like linking book. (Also a linking book somewhere else also)
5. The ender chest in the main world goes poof when clicked on. FYI

I hope thing things/suggestions help you. Good luck and i'll keep checking in to see how things are going.

goreae · May 15, 2015

aww the horndron wants to be in the picture so badly.

Loke · May 15, 2015

I'm trying to fix the issues. It seems like I forgot to save the NBT tags, leading to the world staying in creative. The thing where you spawn with items is fixed.

DoomSquirter · May 15, 2015

A question. Just to play around with the mix of mods itself, I started a new world and even tho it's set to KeepInventory=true, when I die, all my items drop onto the ground. I'm wondering what mod is conflicting with that since it drops items that are soulbound as well which, to me, seems like an error.

MinecraftMart · May 15, 2015

Nobody seems to have as much fps drops as me? Weird...

That would be Advent of Ascension. As you might have noticed it conflicts the creation of graves as well. Iirc it will be fixed in the next version of the mod.

I am working on the next update as of now. Here is a few things I have fixed.

1. The spawn is set there. I changed the spawn to be inside, but you will not respawn in the different dimensions unless you sleep in them.
2. I have made tiered quests for gaining better seeds now.
3. Inventory is cleared. I forgot that this was one single player. If it had been on multiplayer all those items would have stayed in my inventory, but not in yours.
4. Extended the house to include the portal. Linking book is also removed.
5. I can't replicate this.

I also removed the QDS quest. At first I was going to have some quests, requiring you to submits fluids. Since I never added those, there was really no reason for the QDS. The descriptions on the quests where you travel to other dimensions have been fixed. I would also like to mention, that the bosses all drop ender chests, meaning that you will get items out of the dimensions.

Shizzr · May 15, 2015

Heyo ! I looked into the pack and I have to say it looks pretty promising !
I like the idea of different dimensions / elements, that require different mods to learn and use. Great idea !

Do you plan to add more explanation to the quests ? I haven't played with a lot of the mods and (at least for me) it would be nice to get a bit more description of what i have to do and how the mods work.

Looking forward !

Sounds good. As for 5. i might have right clicked with an item from that room don't know if it was the quest book or not. Not sure which item though.

Never mind i think i was still in creative so i may have left clicked because it was right after that that i switched it i surv because i didn't realize i started in creative then.

I am not sure if I will add more thorough descriptions. A lot of mods have their own in game documentation and for those I haven't felt the need to write very much. Perhaps I should make more descriptions for some mods. It would be nice to know which mods you think need better descriptions.

Well one it is for new players as well as old players. and more people will be playing then the Judges. As i remember from my own youtube videos as well as then ones i watch it is looked down upon to leave the default texted in by most players. Also spreading the story through out the quest would be good also if there is Game docs that you think new players might not know about or new helping start might be good to note the docs in the quest or make them make the book like in the case of batania. It wouldn't have to be detailed.

Shizzr · May 15, 2015

Okay, i read through the quests in edit mode again.
You are correct that there are references to the mod specific guides most of the time. I think you can get through the quest lines with the mod guides and also with your own descriptions, but I think some more steps or some more detailled description wouldn't harm. Especially for people that are a bit lazy and don't want to learn everything by themselves

For example Chromaticraft. Although I know that everything is documentated in the ModGuide I had a hard time getting into the mod with all its functions and options. For someone like me, some Quests in which you are instructed to do exactly 1 step at a time, would help a lot.

But yeah, that is only my opinion. If you want to encourage players to check the guides / mods out for themselves thats totally fine =)

I hope that was understandable, no native speaker here

I understand what you are saying. At least chromaticraft is very hard to make a walkthough for. Everything depends on the info fragments and you can progress unless you get them. I can really guide people through the mod since you will get different info fragments.
