When is the new 1.6.1-1.6.2 update gonna come out?

[Ryiah]

I maid this post so admins/staff in the later future could tell me when it could come out, you dont need to freak out

There is a section of the forums dedicated to these types of announcements. I highly doubt they would go through every single one of these worthless threads just to personally contact individuals when it is released.

Slowpoke said on Forgecraft that Iron Chests was the only mod ready, and they were going to release a pack with just that and Forge just so they could be the first ones out with a 1.6 modpack. And, that link confirms it, Iron Chests is "Yes".

 

[Fuzzlewhumper]

I'm waiting for the 3.1.4.1.5.9 version personally. I heard it was going to be full of pie.

 

[PhilHibbs]

I forget which modder it was that commented but essentially it was regarding rendering. Mods that have little or no need for rendering should update without much trouble. It does sound, however, like mods that DO rely on rendering are going to have a bit of a nightmare.

Rendering and entities he said - I think turtles are entities, as are anything moving on frames, multiblock structures as well maybe.

It's already out for the rest of us... Because you asked, you don't get it

if i ask slowpoke if i can have a private pack i could get 1.6.2 for it?

Not until the new launcher is released. The old one is not capable of launching MC 1.6.x due to major changes on Mojangs part and our backend

Which is the same reason Forkk has to create MultiMC 5.

direwolf20 hinted in direnews 5 today that the 1.6x direwolf pack is on its way, perhaps even faster than expected.

 

[BaxtorUK]

That wasn't a hint that was an announcement that he has finalised the mod list and passed it to FTB team
So either the new launcher is on its way very soon or his new pack is going to be another 1.5 pack

 

[MrDlor]

It wont be a 1.5 pack he already said he would only start season 6 with 1.6+ and you dont NEED the new launcher to play his modpack incase the launcher isnt done yet.

 

[BaxtorUK]

So he will be packaging and hosting it himself then?
He said he has passed it to the FTB team for them to put it together and the old launcher cannot do 1.6

 

[MrDlor]

I didnt say that , i said the new launcher is not needed to start a 1.6.2 or 1.6.4 modpack incase its not done untill then.
Enough people like me have a 1.6.2 or 1.6.4 pack running via Minecraft launcher already.

 

[BaxtorUK]

Comon Im not totally stupid, I think everyon has a 1.6 pack already, but the the thing with dire and FTB is they go together, I cannot see him releasing a pack through FTB then saying you will have to find a way to launch it yourself.
He also said all the mods he wants in it are now publically available,
so unless he knows something we dont about thermal expansion it looks like that will be left out as well as few other notable casualties.
I guess he just got fed up with waiting like alot of us

 

[MigukNamja]

FTB wouldn't *have* to use its own launcher, would it ? Similar to how many of us are running 1.6.x mod packs built like so:

1. Install MC
2. Install Forge
3. Copy/paste the mods and config folders
4. Launch using the 'Forge' profile

...I don't see it that difficult to release a pack that does those steps for you in one download/click install.

But, I do agree that it's best for FTB to use its own launcher and I don't blame slowpoke or anyone else at FTB for being patient.

for a srs bznz answer, i think most of the ftb team is likely keeping themselves busy with other FTB related stuff while waiting on TE to get ported to 1.6, which was apparently something kinglemming agreed to do for some donation drive hitting $10k.
