Updating server

[Daniel Harton]

Recently a player of my MindCrack 8.2.0 server has updated his client and he can't connect to the server but he could previosly. I think the update is because new version of Thaumic Bees or other mod but I'm not sure how works FTB launcher.

The server pack downloaded in the launcher don't seems updated for this mod. Should I update this mod manually? I think is better wait for new version of MindCrack with this mod/s updated but maybe updating mods 1by1 is a common practice.

Another question is... When MindCrack server is updated officialy, what should I do? Should I overwrite old fles with new and no more changes? Maybe I have to run a new server and later change the new world folder for my old world folder.

to update - You just put the new mods in the folders. As long as they've got the same names, which FTB does, the new will overwrite the old.

Mods tend to get done in batches, there's allows an update. I update my pack to FTB and later they be another mod update i could have done.

Not sure what to do about you extract situations. Personal I would do a forceupdate, find out what people are downloading and get your server in line with that. The only other option, would be to distrubt updates, but you'll need permission to distribute from developers.

Thanks Dingham, I suppose the issue updating mods manually are the ids of the items. I know that mods like ComputerCraft have adapted its ids to FTB and I think that I can update it with no troubles but probably I will wait to offical update of MindCrack.

ids are in configs, as long as you hold on to them you shouldn't have id issues
