I wanna add Adv solars to Direwolf20.

[Graablarbl]

How do I go about it? I tried installing adv solars, and then disabling the other solar panel mod, but it still crashes. I also wanna add Gregtech.
And how do I add mods to a direwolf20 server? Can I put the world into another modpack, and have the world be fine?

How did you add the mods? you have to add them in the launcher editor, AND make sure they are in the instmods folder. Also i'm not sure advanced solars work without gregtech.

First, Advanced Solars definitely works without Gregtech.

And Advanced Solars shouldn't go into the instmods folder, it goes in the mods folder, instmods is for jar mods.

Anyway, I'm guessing you were doing the right thing, but you ran into ID Conflicts. Fix them.

how can he have an id conflict. The config for advanced solar is already in the pack. The only thing he has to do is delete compactsolars mod in the DW20 folder (or deactivate in the launcher).
The only way to have an ID conflict is if he has both mods active because they both use itemID 650

All I did was enable adv solars and disable compact solars. What did I do wrong? ._.

Do you get a crash report?

Do you get a crash report?

Yes.

 

[Guswut]

Yes.

Normally, when someone asks you if you get a crash report, they also are asking for you to post the crash report as well. You can also use http://forum.feed-the-beast.com/ to get support.

Oh, well... I didn't bother to save it. >_<

Can't you just attempt to reopen the game, and get a NEW crash report?

Why does he have to disable compact solars? Can't he have both?

Yes but then he has to change the itemID.

It's an ID issue. Had the same thing but simply removed advanced solar (had to make a mock-up ultimate for the impatient ones on my server). Thankfully none of them like clean energy or energy that doesn't require the souls of a thousand angels to cry out in pain. They also had me add ars-magica... that was a pain with the ids.

Here's another idea... if you want GregTech and AdvancedSolars, why not run the Mindcrack pack instead of DW20? If there are mods in DW20 that you want that Mindcrack does not have, maybe it is easier to add them to Mindcrack than it is to set up the DW20 pack to your liking. It's worth a try, in any case.

But the problem is that I already have an amazing underwater house, a finished 64x64 quarry that I use to mine in, and waaaaaaaay too much stuff to inv edit into another world.

Then move your world over, and, assuming they use the same item/block IDs for the same mods (which I assume the FTB maintainers do, as it'd make it easier for them), you shouldn't have any problems with it. Good luck!
