Problem Question on starting new FTB server with Fihgu's mods

[Dungeonmaster]

• What OS are you running? Windows 7 Professional 64-bit
• Are you using minecraft hosting provider or a dedicated/local server not designed for minecraft? Local
• What version of FTB are you using? Direwolf20 Pack (v5.0.1)
• Did you add any mods to the server pack? Fighu core, perms, protect, and teleport (all 2.1.2)
• What are your server specs? Quad i7 (870 @ 2.93 Ghz) w/8GB RAM & dual nVidia GTX460 in SLI
• A good detailed paragraph about the problem.

First of all kudos to the FTB team for making an elegant and easy to use installer/solution. For many modders MineCraft is a labor of love and it shows in this iteration and on this site. I have been reading the posts regarding the upcoming features and can't wait for what will hopefully be a great launching point for server admins! Until then though I have an issue.....

I have been administrating a small Bukkit server for almost a year now and after polling the players have decided to "update" the MineCraft experience for them with FTB. Long term goal is to have this new server set up similar to what we have now with multiple worlds using multiverse (portals), chest shop, residence, an economy (recently switched to Essentials from iConomy) and grief protection with added benefit of importing the old server player creations.

So I downloaded and ran Direwolf20 server files and the server came up fine. After much research on this site I decided to try Fighu's mods when BukkitForge (and a few other suggested solutions) failed. At first I tried the version 2 files but after they failed I decided to try the newer 2.1.2 versions. Server runs and I log in and can play but in the launch window I get the two sets of errors below. Just wondering if something is terribly broken, should I ignore these errors or is there something I should do to fix. Thanks for any suggestions.

[Dingham]

Did you install the core into the server jar?

 

[Dungeonmaster]

@ Dingham
Hi and thanks for the suggestion but yes I did install the core contents into the ftbserver executable jar file while the other mods went into the mods folder.

 

[Dingham]

Sorry I didn't look at you post properly last time, had only just woken up. I used Fihgu's for awhile, just switched to ForgeEsstentials. (I do recommend).

First. Doesn't actually look like its a fihgu issue. Looks more to do with the regeneration of the world.

I see stuff relating to oil generation and extrabiomes. I don't know what is doing on can only assume its failing to put stuff in the world.

Sorry this is only moderately more helpful than my last.#

Are you importing your old map? Or is it a fresh world.

 

[Dungeonmaster]

Hey Dingham, thanks for the reply. I played with it for a little longer when I decided to scrap it all and start over so I deleted all FTB files and folders and re-downloaded them. Now when I start the server using "Direwolf20_Server" I get this error:

[SEVERE] an error occured registering the ASM transformer class miscperipherals.asmOverrideIfLoadedTransformer java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: miscperipherals.asm.OverrideIfLoadedTransformer at cpw.mods.fml.relauncher.RelaunchClassLoader.findClass(RelaunchClassLoader.java:185)

and it goes on for a quite a few lines. I would have pasted it here except it does not appear in the server log - in fact most of the boot sequence stuff does not. Is this a deal-breaker or maybe something that is corrupted or omitted in that server archive? Then once the server has been up for a couple of minutes I get the "leaking worlds" error message that I read somewhere else is because of a ChickenChunks issue that Forge is now detecting? Now, if all that wasn't enough I launch the FTB client and reading through that console I see these messages:

[INFO] [ForgeModLoader] FML has found a non-mod file neipluginsredpower.jar in your mods directory. It will now be injected into your classpath. This could severe stability issues, it should be removed if possible.
[SEVERE] [ForgeModLoader] A critical problem occured registering the ASM transformer class miscperipherals.asm.OverrideIfLoadedTransformer (This one is obviously related to the server error and goes for a bit as well so I truncated)
[STDERR] MMMPS - ERROR - CLIENT: No powersuits keybind file found.
[WARNING] [ForgeModLoader] Could not load forestry config, due to java reflection failing!
[WARNING] [ForgeModLoader] Couldn't find vanilla template - forestry.speciesThe

I would really like to offer FTB to my players but I don't think a server should throw those errors and be considered stable; my current CraftBukkit server is stable with no errors or crashes but I'm getting feedback from my players that they would like to play with things like BuildCraft, RedPower, etc.

You mentioned ForgeEssentials so I grabbed "ForgeEssentials-ServerComplete-1.4.7-1.1.1.251" and the read me in that archive says to copy the contents as-is into the server folder. Have not tried that yet due to the above mentioned problems. Anyway, thanks again for your time and effort, and as usual any inout is appreciated!
