I haven't played MC in a few months time, and have come back to see what's new. The infinity pack is new to me, and I am curious to see what its like. However, I want to play it with the Sphax texture pack installed. I downloaded the vanilla Sphax (here: http://bdcraft.net/purebdcraft-minecraft ) and the Infinity Sphax (here http://bdcraft.net/community/pbdc-patches-rel-packs/feed-the-beast-infinity-t3804.html ) both for MC 1.7.10 at x128 resolution. I added the folders from the "assets" folder of the infinity pack to the "assets" folder in the vanilla pack, before putting the vanilla pack (.zip file) in the "resource packs" folder in my FTB directory. However, when I loaded a world with Sphax activated, all the blocks are black and I have massive lag. RAM should not be the problem as I have 32GB available (20GB allocated to FTB upon launch). I tried the x64 pack and the blocks rendered, but there was still massive lag. I also tried the x128 Direwolf20 Sphax pack, and the blocks were all black and I still had massive lag. I have no idea what is wrong as, previously, I played the Monster pack (at MC 1.6.4) with x128 Sphax and had no issues what-so-ever.
Thanks for any help!

What are your video settings in game?

Try altering MIPMAP to 0

Also 20GB is too much for 128x try 8GB instead as too much RAM can deteriorate the game.

Edit 2 - Also are you running Fastcraft and/or optifine?

Reduced RAM to 8, then increased to 16 - textures won't even load now
Don't know about optifine - launcher says that both packs (Direwolf20 and Infinity) have Fastcraft

Can you post a screenshot?

BTW you'd be better posting this issue on the bdcraft forums (there's a support section), Hanfox is a mine of information on issues & problems.

Well, I found out that if I let the world load for about 15 minutes, the black textures do load into the normal Sphax textures. However, I have a maximum of 5 fps, even when chunkloading range is 2 chunks. Could this be caused by any one particular mod?

Try it without Fastcraft as I find it lowers my FPS using a HD texture/resourcepack

Quick suggestion, maybe ur pc can't run a texture pack on such a big modpack?

Ram is not the only factor
I don't think that should be a problem, since I played with x128 Sphax with the Monster pack (MC 1.6.4) and the Invictus x64 pack (on Infinity 1.7.10) works fine with a stable 60fps at 8 chunk render distance.
Here are my processor details (for reference): Intel Core i7-3930K CPU @ 3.20GHz

Just reread ur post, delete the texture pack you made, download the one from the launcher and just use that only.

The vanilla textures are there already, no idea why you would think they wouldn't be.

I don't really understand what you mean... I downloaded the Invictus pack to check whether or not my processor was the problem. The texture pack I want to use is Sphax, which cannot be downloaded from the launcher...

I know using too much ram used to be a problem, as MC would take ages to flush the cache when it needed to. Although optifine causes problems and will stop you from receiving any support while you have it installed, maybe you should try it.

Oh, and by the way, optifine isn't in the modpacks, you'll have to add it yourself. It may be incompatible, and may corrupt things, so back up your worlds before trying it.
