What changes from one mod pack version to the next?

[Brian Cherrick]

I am currently using DW20 1.0.16, and 1.0.18 is available. I have a few questions.

1. What changes from one version to the next?
2. If I were to update, could I still use my current cfg files that have all the item conflicts solved from the mods I added?

I dont think there are added more mods so you should be able to use it. Im waiting for my admin to update our server and we (well he) has decided that we make a worldreset.

It doesnt help when the request is betweem 16 and 18 Im also waiting for the changelog for 18.

He asked what changes occur from one version to the next in his first question. The changelog shows what changes occur from one version to the next, albeit not for the most recent versions.

The changelog also shows that FTB changes config files, so that might conflict with what he is doing and thus potentially answer the second question.

Of course, it would be best to wait for the changelog for the version he is asking for, but it does not seem available now.

Everytime you update a FTB pack, it will delete the current mod folder and config folder, and redownload to the latest version. So you'll lose your config changes and extra mods.
When customising a FTB pack, it becomes a pain to maintain with updates.

So would it better to update the mods individually, rather than the mod as an entire pack? And is there a way to disable that annoying popup that asks me if I want to update if it is better to update individually? Would the cfg files and such still be good if I backed them up first before pasting them back in?

 

[Golrith]

Keeping a backup of the configs (and extra mods you've added) is always a good idea.

As to the configs, the only issue would be if a mod has had a major change (such as Thaumcraft, Mekanism, etc), the old config would be really out of date. While the config should update with all the missing stuff, you'll potentially get ID conflicts to resolve.

I understand. Sounds like overall though if conflicts are the issue it would be fairly easy to fix? Nothing that could break the game I mean?

 

[Golrith]

Just backup your world first. If an ID changes, you'll get some interesting things happen. I accidentally lost all my Mekanism Ingots when I updated that mod, even after 2 days of testing the pack! That for me was a minor annoyance (easy enough to respawn in what I thought I had in my stores).
