Good vs. Evil

82. Not good.

I haven’t felt full blown hate in a while. It’s an odd feeling. Hello hatred my old friend? Hm.

83 Downloading and using yet another version of FF somehow fixed the problem of the firefox I normally use.
Note that I restarted FF at least 3 times before I did that so restarting it shouldn't have been the fix.

Doing that did screw up my normal version a bit in term of preferences but nothing too major so....meh

84 Weird. I'm currently experiencing a bug where in one of my games sometimes the sound just gets deadened, and really quiet, then it comes back. No idea why, and it's only happening in it.

 

[lenscas]

85 seems like sound doesn't like us today...

 

[duckfan77]

86 ARGH!!!!!

 

[triggerfinger12]

87. Sound likes me today...

 

[GamerwithnoGame]

86. Sounds like me in my head last night.

 

[duckfan77]

87 I'm glad this download sped up some time over the night. When I went to bed the download speed was under a tenth of a kilobyte per second for a 7.1 GiB file, with an ETA of 45yr. It's now 1 hr.

 

[GamerwithnoGame]

86. Yeah, 45 years might have been a bit much.

87 Does anyone else just cheat in the presses for AE2? I find the whole, go find them in a random meteor thing to be excessive and annoying, so I always just do, given I play single player.

 

[LordPINE]

88. Nah, I like making packs, so I generally just give them a recipe. Feels a bit more balanced. But I have to agree, the whole finding presses thing is a bit annoying, especially because of their random nature. Would be better if you could convert between them, I think.

 

[GamerwithnoGame]

87. I think the way I’d want to go with it would be to have each one require a special (and different) recipe to make the press. I’m thinking multiple different modpacks for integration. So it’s not TOO onerous, and they can be duplicated once made. Like maybe the logic processor press requires some redstone components, the calculation processor needs some more complex parts, and the engineering one needs heavy duty wiring or opencomputers parts. These are just off the top of my head, I’m sure I could come up with something better, but you get the idea?

 

[LordPINE]

88. That sounds quite cool, maybe I'll use something of the sort to tweak the presses in A Polychromatic World, my own pack. They would obviously be magical components in that case, but I like the idea.

 

[duckfan77]

89 That sounds interesting, but I generally just throw some mods together and play alone or with a small group of friends, so writing the recipes isn't really worth it. We've done it for decorative worldgen blocks before, and at one point I used the forestry mail system and some infinite storage drawers to be able to make it because minetweaker wasn't working. That was a while ago though.

90. Any suggestions on what to do for night vision in FTB Revelations?

 

[GamerwithnoGame]

89. Apart from vanilla potions? Hm. I don’t think nano bot beacons are still a thing in 1.12 Environmental Tech; I could be wrong.

lua: scripts/dbInserts.lua:249: attempt to concatenate field '?' (a nil value)

It should be an easy problem to solve, except that I'm not doing any concatenation on line 249 so....

 

[duckfan77]

89 Um... That's fun. Maybe just an implicit concatenation.

I figured it out.

[[
some piece of of string
]] ..
something .. --this var was nil
somethingElse ..
test ..
[[
some other piece of string
]] --this was the line it complained about

 

[GamerwithnoGame]

89. Glad you figured it out, it’s annoying when you are trying to problem-solve and you can’t pin down where it’s going wrong.
