Add Ars Magica into Ultimate?

[Noiro]

Before you rage, I"m not asking to have it added to the pack (though that would be cool), but I am asking if there is a way to include it on my server without crashing on bootup. Has anyone gotten it working? I am using the latest 1.4.7 update of Ars in addition to latest Ultimate for the server.

My crash is:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: mithion/arsmagica/AMExtendedProperties

After I removed Xycraft (that mod is bugged as anything). I keep hearing about something about MCore, but I was told not to worry about it in the thread (or is that just for the 1.5.1 update)?

You don't have to worry about MCore for the 1.5+ releases, but you do need to install it for the 1.4.7 version for Ars Magica

Yeah, I got it running. Any idea on if Ultimate builds will be released without RP2? I hear that's the only thing holding the release of 1.5. Ars has some serious bugs in 1.4.7.

Yes Ultimate's update is pending RP2's update. Ultimate's pack update will not be released without it. Ultimate may stay at 1.4.7 until 1.6 is released, if it takes Eloraam that long to update. Hopefully not that long, but she does deserve some RL time.

That being said Slowpoke said in a stream that Ars Magica will be the feature of the new Magic World pack. The other mods will be built around Ars Magica. Though this might change later as there are no current ETAs for the Magic Pack or the 1.5.1 beta pack (without RP2).

See the news for more info as it happens:

I just wasn't sure if there was a custom-compiled pack floating around that works for 1.5.1 with everything but RP2. My current server is not using it very much currently as we just got started, and I'd rather us go without it until Eloraam updates Ultimate to the new version. The lack of worldgen may be a little difficult to do without, however.

Here is a recent post on the things that might go wrong if you try to update the pack yourself without RP2.

And a plug for a DIY 1.5.1 pack without RP2:

Good luck with what ever you decided to do.

Ars magica is being added in the 1.5.1 Version of FTB (Or at least, it seems so.. i recall reading it in some place)

Last I heard from Slowpoke in one of his streams is... It will not be added to any existing packs because it is too OP. It will, however, be added to the new Magic Pack and other mods will be built around it. This is still not set in stone though. Just look at the no release date for the 1.5.1 beta pack for instance.

This stream will give you more info than I can. I'd suggest watching the whole thing, but about 30min in is where he explains about the "thing that scares him" The magic fabricator. He goes further into creating what he calls basically an EE2 Collector.

Edit: I just thought I'd add that DW20 still might add it to his pack, but any official FTB pack, besides the Magic Pack, like Ultimate will not have it at the moment.

wow watching this video gave me cancer (watched from the 30 to 35 minutes mark). He plays the mod but has NO idea what he is doing. I just read through the most important topics at the ars magica wiki and immediatly knew what to do and how to do it. The part about Ars magica that is broken is, that some items produce more essence than they cost. Also none if the BC,IC2 etc mods items can be crafted with this, not even rubber, so in fact you still need to collect them yourself. (at least in previous versions, havent played it in months now)
What you can do is use Xenos Reliquery (not sure I spelled that correctly) and use the recipe to dupe emeralds (with the book) in the fabricator. That way you can turn essense into emeralds, buy mystcraft pages and eventually get the diamond modifier to get unlimited diamonds.
