Also, if I use a 128x128 texture pack, sometimes Tekkit crashes. Here's the bug report- anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

Spoiler:

**Melissia**

Oh 4. You so crazy.

I'll start playing tekkit and minecraft again once I get my replacement processor.

What, the "Physics are broken" post, or the "My computer is broken" post? The Texture pack problem's been around a while, thought I'd fixed it today when I installed 64-bit Java, but nope. It happened again.

First grundz brand excessive scale project is coming along nicely

That happens to me, too. But not just in tekkit, but also on vanilla (with optifine, of course).

Really annoying, so now I usually just use the vanilla textures.

I think it may be something to do with optifine.

**4oursword**

I'll just stick with 64x textures then. A bit boring, but hey ho.

**SagesStone**

64 is good enough anyway, can't change them being blocks.

**4oursword**

I like blockiness up to a point. The 128x textures for Sphax are just nicer-looking.

well, once this ship is done thats the end, and it is pretty gothic looking, the gold one is going away

I built a sky-colored wall between what I expect will be the line of sight of your castle and the big one, held off on decorating it with fake clouds for now

If thats unacceptable or you want to bring dark in to move it upstream lemme know

**The Dark Apostle**

it would appear that whenever i use mellisias teleporter, it kicks me and reports me for hacking.......

**Optio**

When creating your own village, do each of the houses need to be connected by a gravel path?
Also will the villages breed and spawn goloms in Tekkit?
Cheers for any help!

**The Dark Apostle**

can you create your own village?????

**Avatar 720**

You really don't need that many question marks.

**Optio**

You can in normal, im not so sure on the extent you can do it in tekkit do to the villagers working of the erlier version :/

**The Dark Apostle**

Please don't spam the forum. Thanks ~ Manchu

**Skycrawler**

Can I give this a try?

Edit: Never mind it does not work on my laptop.

**The Dark Apostle**

ok guys, will we use tekkit lite or tekkit classic. one of them is a version closer to current minecraft and has EE3, there the only differences i know.

EDIT:
lite has more mods and better ones, higher version and some other stuff.

I'm trying to move away from Tekkit entirely, as they don't have the permission of the mod authors and so support for any problems is near-to-non-existent.

I no longer have any plans to ever update the Tekkit server from its current version (but I also won't take it down as long as interest remains).

It is very likely that I will start a FtB server when the "Ultimate" pack is released in the imminent future. FtB is actively maintained in co-operation with the mod developers and so has much better support and structuring (the mod developers are working together to make their mods interact and not conflict).

I've already been testing it and had some fun and interesting ideas with Mystcraft ages in particular. (anyone want an entire dimension just for mining? and/or how about an aether/skyworld dimension?).

If/when I start a FtB server, it will be completely from scratch, as the balancing is completely different from Tekkit.

If possible the spawn hub could be its own dimension with portals out to the others, as some sort of hall thing in a void.

Could be tricky (but not impossible), as usually the overworld is the default spawn dimension. Also I don't see why we couldn't have the spawn hub in the overworld, with portals to the Nether, Twilight Forest and Mystcraft Ages etc. I don't know if a whole dimension just for a hub would be worth the effort (other than for staring into the void -_- o_o O_O

). Of course I'm happy to listen to any suggestions or requests, just because I don't prefer something doesn't mean I can't be persuaded.

so on that trail of thought, would it be possible to gain access to a 'personal' dimension?

doubt it, though it would be pretty awesome if we could...

Can you ask when the FTB server will be up. And also I'm making an area based off the metro games and book, id like to know if people would like to join the area and what faction they'd join.

Basicly you start off with 6 things a musket, a composite-vest, 1 musket round, a bow, 10 arrows and a encoded book written by the leader of you desired faction. (it's in a code and must be cracked in order to find there base)

Now you make the long road and find your base through the Moscow underground. Follow train lines and signs to get to your destination, but it won be easy monsters prowl the metro and bandits will hunt you down. The lucky ones who make it there alive will then be greeted and gifted from other members of that faction. Now it's show time fight the dark ones, bandits and bring peace to the metro line.

Should I wait for FTB or do it now???

**shrike**

It's probably been asked for before, but would we get some compensation to get us started on the ftb server, seeing as we've spent quite a while on tekkit?

Personal dimensions:
this is idiotic, people don't even visit eachothers land now, why do we need our own dimension, just play single player allready.

I put forward that we have themed dimensions for group building, aka "40k world" or "bit city world" or somesuch.with the overworld being used as it is now

a mining world might be worthwhile

**shrike**

If this is made true, I'd like a middle-earth dimension.

sounds good, especially mining world, I hate all the massive quarry scars Tekkit creates, which is why mine is underwater

While I wouldn't go as far to say idiotic, I agree. Mystcraft allows writing your own ages by default, but I will be disabling that as it would become unmanageable (dimension spam? ow my gigabytes, not to mention lag) and would lead to everyone just living in their own little world, not being social and all that. I'll probably keep linking books craftable though, so you can link to any existing worlds and locations where-ever you like.

I'd like to keep it to a few (i.e. one or two at first, mayybee a few more later if all seems well), one of which would "probably definitely" be a mining age to prevent scarring the overworld (check out the "dense ores" Mystcraft age option). I see some servers creating "void" ages either for mob grinders (nowhere else for mobs to spawn) or for mega-builds (treating the void like a flatworld), but I also like the themed ideas suggested too.

Have a look at all the other Mystcraft Ages options - you might get some inspiration for interesting things. The first age I randomly created resulted in a forest world with ghasts and blazes... it didn't end well.

Automatically Appended Next Post:
Oh forgot to say about time frame, I'm mainly waiting on the FtB Ultimate pack, which is supposedly 100% complete and in testing. However as this full pack will include things I haven't been able to test and check on yet, it'll be a little while after that is released too. Soo.... the real answer is "I don't know yet". Sorry.

**Grundz**

how about this:
there are tons of biome generation tools/addons that are fun, like the floating glass ball one, we can create worlds with them single player, fly around a little bit to generate a ton of chunks, then insert them into a world, sort of like what I did with the zombie server I made for a while, sure if someone gets way off to the edges they will get gakky generated chunks but should be a non issue, then have a main hub in the middle of overworld leading to each of these themed dimensions

you can ban extra dimentions by just making one of the components for the mystcraft portal uncraftable, if you need help doing this lemme know but I think you got the jist of it.
