Problems adding Reika's mods in 1.7.10?

[malicious_bloke]

So basically I'm lazy. Building a pack from the ground up involves grubbing about in configs and blah blah blah stuffs.

So when the DW20 1.7.10 pack came out on the FTB launcher I took that baseline and started adding the mods I actually wanted to it. But one of the most annoying things that happened was that when I added DragonAPI and Rotarycraft to the pack it would just crash the client straight off the bat. No error log, nothing.

Is there something obvious I'm missing?

Seriously, I need help, I'm jonesing for some torque-based action. I might have to ditch my 1.7.10 world and go back to Monster (with the 25z update) at this rate...

Oh I vaguely seem to remember Reika mentioning somewhere when another person had the same problem that some other mod needed to be updated.. But what was it now...

API problems with BuildCraft IIRC. There's a thread about it over in mod discussion, I'd link it but I'm on my phone.

If you use the latest DragonAPI and the latest Buildcraft it works fine. Before v4 there were problems, but they're fixed at this point. Not sure if anything else would be a problem. I'm using a modified DW20 as well (Reika's mods, Logistics Pipes, a couple other things added, lots of stuff updated) and I'm not having any problems other than InpureCore giving me an error that I can't figure out (it's getting a negative number in line 3 of something, but it doesn't tell me what), but that doesn't appear to cause any actual problems.

The forge log is what you want. 90% or more of the time, the error is found there. Most crashes even print out the same info there.

There are quite a few possible problems, and if you're using the current mods from reika ( 4a and 4d ), then you will need to update several other mods. As mentioned, one of the big things is Buildcraft. They removed MJ after their initial versions for 1.7.10 ( between reikas v3 and v4 ). Another likely one is a potion id conflict, but its also a very simple fix.

Not sure if it has been addressed by now (haven't played with RoC in a while) but the DragonAPI was calling an outdated Thaumcraft API for a while. It would load the world, but crash when doing TC related activities. Not your error specifically, but something to watch out for. Best of luck to you.

We need Reika's version you tried to install.

May be downloaded files are Dragonapi_Vx.jar.zip

Just get the latest versions (v4c or v4a) of the mods ya want, and the only thing remaining should be few ID conflicts with BoP and Witchery that are easy to fix.

So, I got the latest versions of DragonAPI, Rotarycraft, Reactorcraft and Chromaticraft, then updated buildcraft to the 6.3.6 build.

Same issue, it crashes out.

Then I looked up the crashlogs and it mentioned ExtraCells throwing a NoSuchMethod exception. Not sure why ExtraCells would be a problem since I was using it perfectly fine in my previous iteration of this pack.

But I removed it and tried to launch anyway, seems to be working.

Sad, in a way, it's a sweet mod :-/

 

[malicious_bloke]

Well, kinda.

The world loads but it doesn't actually seem to add any of the RoC items, at least not in NEI.
And I get that InpureCore error mentioned above.

Isn't DW 1.7.10 a buggy as hell pack to start with? Ya should just download Infinity (I can confirm that Reika's mods work fine on 1.0.1 and 1.1.0) and then add/remove mods as you see fit. That way you should get proper versions of everything.

Thinking about it. I was mainly using DW20 because it was the first proper 1.7.10 pack out on the launcher.
