IC2 Miner config question

[Haruchai]

I want to open the use of miners on the Mindcrack server I admin and need to configure the server to allow it. After a bit of research I found that I need to tweak the IC2 config file to expand the list of ores/blocks the miner can locate. According to the IC2 wiki, the config file should contain data in this format:

blockID-Damage:ScannerValue.

When I review the NEI menu information, I see some values in the following format:

249:2 (Tin ore) for example.

If I am understanding things correctly, if I entered that latter value into the IC2 config file it would simply mean that I've place a value of "2" on ore #249. So, my questions are:

-Do I actually need to enter the "damage" value into the config file? If so, where can those values be found? If not, see below...

-Some NEI values have multiple subsets such as 220, 220:1, 220:2, etc. If I enter "220" into the IC2 config will it automatically mine all the "220-220:x" range, or just the one labeled "220" (Blue Xychorium Ore)?

In closing, I guess I'm looking for a way to mesh what appears to be two conflicting ID systems.

Thanks!

249:2 will match all blocks under ID 249 and they will have scanner value of 2

249-2:2 will only match ID 249:2 and nothing else

It's a bit out of standard but if you need different values for stuff you have to use the second way.

Super! Many thanks for the info.
