Is there a list of stuff that i would loose and stuff that i would gain from switching to direwolfs? I looked in the wiki and it looks like its not updated. I just started playing with unleashed and all my previous experience with any minecraft mods was mainly BC, IC2, and RP2. I know RP isnt in here but there is one thats suppose to replace it. So even if there is alot of stuff thats missing from Unleashed, most likely i havent messed with it and probably wont miss it too much i guess. But im still curious as to the differences.

You can just look at these in the launcher, they're listed over in the window to the right when you select a pack.

Anyway, looks like it's mostly just Extra Bees and Damage Indicators that's missing, maybe one or two other obscure things that I don't even know anything about after playing the hell out of the pack. Think you can just stick damage indicators from Horizons into the DW20 pack with no issues, about to try it myself now that I remembered to.

There is supposed to be a replacement pack for Unleashed coming soon, you might want to wait for that.
That said, I have been playing the DW pack as a replacement for Unleashed and I like it. From what I noticed there are many mods available, though some have changed (a lot)!.

Lets take Thermal Expansion. Lots of stuff we already know but there is also the new RF power, new itemducts, tesseract has changed a bit.
IC2(exp.) is a whole lot of different then what you're used to. But that is just because the mod changed. Oh and there is no gravisuit mod I think, but there is power armor.
MFR was missing at first in DW pack but has been added already.

Not too sure about all the magic stuff, though I know Dartcraft is missing from DW pack. Never really used it much.

Yes i can look through the launcher, but its kinda hard to look at one and then switch to another and see.

Edit...
I see dartcraft equivalentexchange3, MinefactoryReloaded, omnitools, and soulshards are not in the direwolf pack. If i really wanted these i could just re add them if there was a version of the mod that worked with MC 1.6.4 correct?

nope.avi leave soulshards alone the best way to put it is that it's basically incompatible with MC placing a cage down crashes you breaking one causes a server crash. EE3 is horribly broken in 1.6 wait for a update, dartcraft kinda screws up the balance but you could add it, omnitools is not updating but the lexicon is comming to TE3 and the wrench is in the redstone arsenal but requires power and doesn't work on IC2 machines afaik

I have 6gb of ram, and im not sure what permgen is. My vidcard has 3gb if thats what your refering too. The launcher has 3.25gb set. I seen another thread where someone else was having a similar issue. So i uninstalled java and installed the version that was in the thread. My version was java 6 anyways, so it was time for a upgrade.

set the launcher to at least 4 gigs and disable opis it causes huge lag spikes etc[DOUBLEPOST=1387237853][/DOUBLEPOST]and could you upload a crashlog to pastebin and post it here?

I got it to work just fine. But in game it feels very jerky. But my FPS is staying up around 90ish outside. I dont know what the deal is but it migh be a deal breaker for me with direwolf20's pack.

Problem is on your end. It's as simple as increasing memory allowed in the launcher, selecting the DW20 pack, and pressing play. It creates a whole new folder for everything...

If you are really worried about DW20 pack not having all the mods you want then you should wait another week for FTB Monster to release. DW20's pack is not the successor of Unleashed and if your coming from Unleashed or Ultimate, it's going to feel light.

Your right on the light part. There is a couple items that i would miss from unleashed like EE3. But there is some new mods in dires that im interested in. Im not too familiar with modding MC anymore, been along time which is why i was so happy to find this launcher. But basically if i were to want lets say Ars Magica 2 and Project Red. I would just need to find versions that work with 1.5.2 and install them via the launcher right?

Both Project Red and Ars Magica are part of the universal config for the 1.6 packs, so it's as easy as dropping it into the mod folder. By 1.5.2, I assume you mean 1.6.4? If not, why would you be playing on the old packs?

You can't install a 1.5.2 mod into a 1.6.4 modpack, and vice versa. All 1.5.2-compabitble mods are very old versions, modders don't keep coding for old versions of Minecraft.

No i meant 1.5.2. Direwolf20 is missing a bunch of mods from unleashed that i like. But Direwolf has Ars Magica 2 and Project Red. So i was thinking if i could find 1.5.2 versions of those 2 mods then i could just add those in and keep using the Unleashed pack.

I don't believe there is 1.5.2 versions of those mods. The only site I see that has it listed is 9minecraft, which is a scam site to my understanding. Ars Magica 1 is 1.5.2 compatible, but it's nothing like the Ars Magica 2 that is in the DW20 1.6 pack. Staying on a 1.5.2 pack seems pointless to me. 1.6 packs brings a lot to the table, many new awesome mods, and most old mods got some pretty nice updates.

I suggest just waiting for the FTB Monster pack, plugging in any additional mods you might want(easy with the new universal configs), and starting anew.

Ars Magica 2 and Project Red are exclusively 1.6 mods. You will not find versions for 1.5.2 for either.

Yeah it was Ars Magica that i found for 1.5.2. But i couldnt find the server file for some reason. Is ars magica the one Direwolf was using for his forgcraft2 season1 episodes?
