I need to ask, has anyone else beside myself played on a "Dwarf vs Zombies" server?
Quick edit:Just to make sure, yes, these sorts for server have a lot for mods.

Considering how important Redpower 2 is to FTB I wonder if we'll see a release of that tonight as well.

I'm wondering that as well.

People in the RP2 topic have quoted Slowpoke saying RP2 won't be in the first FTB release but might get added in the next week. Apparently he asked Eloraam and she says it's just not ready yet.

Edit: Wonder if it'll be surprise update tonight.

Any chance on a FTB server, forsaken?

I have no problem with running a FTB server, sure. Slowpoke made it pretty easy as you can just wget the server install pack.

frickin' frackin'... just looked at FTB... it has way too many mods... and apparently still more to come... but maybe I'll give it a try... At least it doesn't seem to have anything absurdly wacky like technic... most of this stuff I can (try to) ignore if I want.

You can remove any you don't want..

Or you could just put the mods together yourself and not take a bunch of server data for a load of mods you won't use

[forsaken1111]

Indeed. I just used the launcher to pull down the mods I wanted and put them into my own multiMC instance

 The main strength of modpacks is standardization. Plenty of people run servers with a buncha mods and they all suffer from issues with getting a decent stable playerbase. People don't want to put up with setting up the specific mods a server uses. With a modpack you just have to download/run one thing and every server running that pack runs fine. And they have a working mods menu for disabling specific mods, which Technic lacks.

 The main issue I'm running into is the implementation of Factorization into the pack. It's a mod that requires a lot of silver and lead, so simply using Redpower spawns isn't viable. But they somehow messed up the ore dictionary so you have multiple types of tin, bronze and copper ingots floating around. Technic already frustrates me a little with all the ores that offer relatively pointless options, I imagine when xyCraft and Thaumcraft come out It'll be a hute issue for FTB.

the ore dictionary simply makes all ores interchangable. It doesn't make them the same item

weather is tied directly to the biome. You're in a plains biome, thus it rains when the downfall flag is on. Snow happens only in snowy biomes, and in deserts it just gets darker.

[forsaken1111]

Hmm... well, given how he's been able to make snow tiles appear on areas below 0, shouldn't it be possible to make it so the biome changes in areas below 0?

What mod is this? I have no idea what method he's used so I couldn't say how easy it is, but I can tell you that the downfall thing is harder to modify.

[Duke 2.0]

 TFC did previously have snow in cold areas, like mountains. Something about more recent updates to the game have made modifying that difficult, so that feature was temporarily removed.
