Minetweaker hates me

[Yusunoha]

AAARGH!!! I'm 2 strands of hair away from becoming bald...
I've been trying to get Minetweaker to work for 2 hours now and it doesn't want to work

I've a custom modpack right now based on the Monster pack, with a few mods added, removed and some configuration changes, but 2 items conflict with eachothers recipe, as they both have the same shapeless recipe.

I've been trying to get Minetweaker to remove the recipe from the item I don't want, but that didn't work. I tried to change the recipe of the item I don't want, but that didn't work. I tried to change the recipe of the item I do want, but that didn't work. I tried to remove the recipe of the item I want, but that didn't work. I tried to change the recipe of the anvil, but that didn't work. I tried removing the recipe of the anvil, but that didn't work

so yea.... I know Minetweaker works in Agrarian Skies, so I copied over the minetweaker file and configurations from Agrarian Skies over to the custom modpack and loaded that up.... nothing of the recipe changes showed up after loading

so I tried loading up Monster and see if Minetweaker worked over there, but to my surprise, not a single recipe changed showed up over there aswell...

does Minetweaker hate me or am I going to have to wear the wig of shame?

what does the FML log says? Minetweaker usually says what's wrong with the config file quite clearly.
Also, it received quite a large update just now, not sure if old configs are still valid.

I'm still using Minetweaker 2.0 so the scripts shouldn't be a problem seeing as they're written for 2.0
the log doesn't say much really, I tried reloading the scripts through the ingame command and by restarting the client, both don't work

 

[Mr_Turing]

Can you post your scrips and the FML log?

It could be something else entirely, but just to make sure.

scripts are the ones provided with Monster and Agrarian Skies, but just incase, here's the Monster one

recipes.remove(<30886:10>);
recipes.addShapeless(<30886:10> * 8, [oreDict.ingotSteel, oreDict.ingotSteel]);
recipes.remove(<2562>);
recipes.addShaped(<2562>, [[<101>,<101>,<101>],[<101>,null,<101>],[<101>,<101>,<101>]]);
recipes.remove(<31953:2>);
recipes.addShaped(<31953:2>, [[oreDict.ingotIron,null,null],[oreDict.ingotIron,null,null],[oreDict.ingotIron,null,null]]);
recipes.remove(<120>);
oreDict.projredPart.remove(<*>);

as for the log, the only lines that Minetweaker are mentioned at are

2014-07-07 21:54:00 [INFO] [MineTweaker] Activating mod MineTweaker

and

2014-07-07 21:53:52 [INFO] [STDOUT] MineTweakerASM transformer class loading

First, have a chocolate cookie, it'll make you feel better.

Your bit of code above, is it in it's own cfg file? If so, did you add include "blahblah.cfg"; to the main.cfg so that minetweaker knows to actually load it. When MineTweaker is processing every line, it reports what it's doing in "english" - "Removing recipe for Boat", "Adding recipe for Boat", etc.
If you are not seeing that in the console, MT is not processing those files.

Minetweaker (at least, MT2) is... unfriendly, at best. It's reasonably well-documented if you already know, conceptually, about how it should work, but everyone learning it for the first time seems to have these issues.

Beyond that, what @Golrith said.

*nom*nom*nom*nom*nom*

this is the code in the main file

# See the forum post for example and documentation.
version 2;

# set your list of server admin usernames here
# admins are privileged users and will receive
# any error messages that might occur.
minetweaker.setAdmins("Myself", "MyAdminBuddy");

# Add your commands here

include "RecipeFixesMonster.cfg";

the other file is named as how it's mentioned in the main config file
but I did not come across those lines in the log... I guess it's really as Narc says and it's just being very unfriendly

Ok, are you making the changes in a single player game, or on a server? On a server the minetweaker files go into a MineTweaker folder within your world folder. Single player reads from the config folder.

Odd, I was under the impression that both worked in both cases. The MT files in the config would be read on startup, and the ones in the world both on startup and when "/minetweaker reload" is called.

Can you provide a screenshot showing your minetweaker config folder? The first issue is that MT doesn't appear to be able to see the files, so there might be something wrong at filename/location level. Start with the basics, and work from there.

In the latest version 2, whatever is in the world file is transferred to the clients when they connect to the server. Makes for easy tweaking by server owners without having to redistribute configs.

I did crop/resize the screenshot a bit, so you don't have to look at a giant screenshot

Well, that looks OK, apart from one thing, which might just be an annoying thing with Windows 7. Why are the files in your "Documents" folder? That's a very unusual place for installing minecraft/FTB.

That might be part of the problem, Minetweaker is unable to access/find that location for the config. Try relocating your minecraft/FTB installation directly into C:\

For example, I use C:\Games\FTB\

well, the weird thing is... the Agarian Skies pack is in the same location, and Minetweaker doesn't have a problem loading those config files
until I copy over all the configs from Agrarian Skies to the custom modpack, and suddendly Minetweaker acts dumb... I'm getting a feeling one of the mods that's in the custom modpack might be causing a ruckus with Minetweaker...

That is odd.

OK, try this. Make a new pack that's just vanilla, forge and minetweaker, and make a minetweaker config that's "Dirt to Diamonds". Just to test that Minetweaker is loading just fine. If it is, it'll prove it's another mod causing the problem.

tried it and it worked. so I guess it really is a mod who's messing with Minetweaker, now the only question is which one
anyway, thanks for the help, I should be able to do the rest from here myself

Np.

Best way is half your mods, test, and half and half until you can find it.
