Combining Modpacks ?

[Altentio]

Basically what I want to do, is combine Ultimate pack + some of Slow Stream Pack mods (Barrels, Damage Indicators, Logistics Pipes, Divine RPG)

Problem here is, Divine RPG and Logistics Pipes are using the values that Thaumcraft and Portalgun occupy.

I saw how some people on stream did their own pack, by making their own Item ID-s etc.
All I want to do is practically the same thing, If somebody would give me a guide or even help me out with these mods specifically, from Slow's Stream pack, I would be very grateful . Other than that, I want this pack to be sharable with friends, or well, these extra mods(as rar/jar files), so they don't have to do that ID changing at all themselves. If you know any download links for those mods specifically for Ultimate I would also be grateful for that.

What I will say is not a guide, but it is a very good help in the process.

First, launch the ultimate pack, go to a world, go to NEI option, and ask it to "dump unused ID".

Find the file it created in the "ultimate" folder, and you will have the IDs that you can use for the other mods you are adding.

You then need to add the other mods, run the game once, go to the config folder, and edit the config of the new mods to make them use the IDs that are not already used (from the file you previously requested).

It is a bit of work, but with NEI dumping the unused IDs, it is way easier than it was in the past, where you either guessed, or went through every config file to find what was not used.

thank you a lot, i finally understand what i have to do, now the hardest part is, I can only change individual item ID's , what I am thinking of is , is there a way to select a range of block/item ID-s and just tell mod to use only those ? maybe I wasnt clear, what i mean is, if i can configure it to be instead of, BlockName = 1 ID, to be allBlocks = 100-1000 ID, so I don't have to manually change each item's/blocks ID's ?

There is not, but I suggest you find something that is common for all the blocks or items you want to change (like "=12" if they all start with the ID 12XX), and make use of the "replace all" function of your text editor, usually found by pressing CTRL+H.

When you can do it, it does save quite a lot of time.
