What's up with ars magica?

[zaekeon]

He has it listed that it's allowed to be a part of the direwolf20 pack and one other soon...anyone heard about this?

Will it be ultimate or magicworld?...

 

[Zivel]

Magicworld maybe... but the world gen in that mod is pretty horrendous when run alongside other mods.

 

[zaekeon]

how so? I have it running with many other mods...i love all the buildings.

 

[Jyzarc]

I believe its horribly broken at the moment, But I would guess they will add it to magicworld, I do hope it gets added to direwolf20, but only when it works better

 

[zaekeon]

hmm, i must be lucky because i have it running with 208 other mods pretty reliabiliy....(now hoping i don't jinks myself)

Last time I used it (it was at least one update ago) Dryads kept spawning everywhere, every time I went in my house there were at least 5 on each floor (Did I mention I had 15 floors) and the generated structures spawned really weirdly

 

[Jyzarc]

I tested it again (in the magic pack) and it seems that the spawning has almost been reversed, the only ars magica mob I have found are the mana creepers. The generated structures seem to still be there but much more rare, and I dont see the mage villagers, its still a little bit weird, I found a couple "invalid items" in chests

I gotta go look at Dire's spotlight again.. All I can remember is the funky teleport doors and the wierd power flow that looks like a magic version of XyLasers

Once Ars Magica gets included in Magic World, I'll start using the launcher instead of my custom MultiMC version. But AM is under heavy development, last time I checked Mithion was still messing with world gen and other crucial sections of the mod, isn't "stable" enough to be included. But it's an awesome mod, this and Thaumcraft might actually make me like redstone contraptions

We've added it to our Ultimate based mod pack on our server and really are enjoying it. Don't seem to be having any problems with mob spawning. With AM and dungeon pack, we have some cool structures all over the place.

Awhile back, I added it to the Magic pack and came to the quick conclusion that even the much restricted mods in that pack effectively trivialize the intended challenges of Ars Magica. At which point, it just becomes another mod doing the same stuff.

Also, the essence system is very EE2 like and will be used in the same manner.

Can you explain what you mean, both for trivialization and essence system. I haven't played much with Ars Magica and I've barely scratched the surface of the mod. I guess you think it's supposed to be played on its own?
