It's probably all just me but here's the thing. I was playing NW a while back and had stopped due to a couple of different issues but I decided to try again.
I deleted the existing files after backing up my save file and reloaded NW from the FTB launcher. Really there are only two issues I have now. One is that there is no mini map. I don't recall if there was one when I used to play but all the NW Ytube vids I watch have one. I looked in the list of included mods via the FTB launcher and see neither Voxel or REI. So I decide to add REI to the mods. I see that NW uses MC 1.5.2 so I load the REI 1.5.2 version. What is odd is that the launcher shows REI added to the list but it is not in the NewWorld/minecraft/Mods folder and needless to say there is no mini map in the game.
The second issue is that every time I launch NW it says a new mod pack version is available, even if I click "Yes" to add it.
So regarding the mini map, does NW have one by default or did all of the people on Ytube add a mini map mod? And if it does have to be added what am I doing wrong?
One more thing. I see that NEI is not a included mod and wondering if there would be a problem trying to add it to NW.
Thanks for any help.
Edit:
Just after posting this I decided to try something different. I went to the 'Recommended' tab and selected 5.5 for no particular reason but I now have a mini map and new rei_minimap folder in Mods. I really don't know which recommended version I should be using but I'll use this until another one is suggested.
I also have NEI now after choosing 5.5.
But it seems I can't have something for nothing. When I had the NW 7.6 version loaded I was able to use the Sphax 1.5.2 64 bit texture pack but now it doesn't work. I can load it from the Textures option just as before and the main menu shows Sphax PureBDcraft x64 but the textures are not there in the game as they were before. Well, a few of them are still there but not like before I switched to 5.5. The inventory GUI is Sphax but terrain and equipped tools & weapons are not. I'm still down in a cave where I left off from earlier playing so I don't know yet what textures will be missing when I get to the surface and back to the village.
