Any Tips for migrating a server to FTB?

[Milso]

I currently am running a server that has most the same mods plus a few. My block/item IDs do not match up with FTB and was wondering if there is a way to convert over with out having to start a new server.

could I get a mod list? and this isn't the proper section, hopefully a mod can move the post.

This is the server tech support. so this is the correct section. The server "admin section" is for tutorials, guides, tips and tricks. Not questions.

Ack, missed which section i was in. ok.
need:
Mod list, with versions
copy of your configs if possible.

Hehe don't worry johnley But i agree on the needed info.
Milso take a look here. http://forum.feed-the-beast.com/threads/how-to-ask-tech-support.964/

Thanks but I ended up just starting a new world

Most Mods where already in FTB but my block Ids where different. Tried the program Midas Touch or some thing along those lines but no luck.
If you know any other tricks would be good to know for future usage though.

i think the only effective and safe way, change all the FTB configs to match the item ID's of your world.

dont kill me if there is a better way.

But this might not work with items already in game.
i'll play with it some locally. it would still be great to have your old itemIDs and configs, just to see what would happen.

 

[Milso]

yea then each user had to change to match o well looks like wold reset was only way. Thanks

 

[Johnley]

ah true, because you are also running mods outside of the scope of FTB. sorry I couldn't help more.

@Johnley
Here is the link the the mod pack my server used before.
Http://Industrialblock.com/Client/TIB.1.3.2.V1.zip

It was a small private server at the time.

here is the tool i found for converting blocks but not items. so only bale to do half the job

I saw a id resolver that was recently updated to 1.4.2 but that can be a hassle and it crashed on me a time or two. And it still requires everone to have matching configs

Hi you should check out Midas *GOLD* as it supports the new level format and converting items/ inventories, all that good stuff.
You can find it here: Midas *GOLD*

Create an issue on the Google Code page if you have any problems, thanks.
