    Okay, hold on.


    1) Are you using the hotfixed version of IC^2 (v 1.337b)?
    2) There is a fairly good chance, since the Dev's rewrote the Enet, that the creator of the add-on will have to update his machines to account for the changes.

    Power converters still works. What is happening is the power converter mod is loading too soon. I have mine installed in my server jar and it works.

    -facepalm- Right, forgot about that. Just rename the addon so that it loads AFTER IC2.

    Quote from The Walking Glitch

    add a "j" at the beginning of the filename if you're on windows. If you're not, then too bad.

    I beg to differ, renaming the file to load after IC2 will still work on Linux systems. Not sure about Macs, though. I'm assuming it still will work though.

    You just got lucky. It completely depends upon the underlying filesystem's native iteration; which is often over a hash of the filenames. The only way to be sure is to either fix modloader to /sort/it's input like a good program is supposed to, OR to cram everything inside the minecraft.jar and ignore the 'but I already loaded that' warnings.

    so the file rename didnt work, minecraft just closes out


    should power converters be thrown into the jar file is that my understanding?

    Under Linux and /possibly/ OS-X, you need to add the core mods (IC2, BC*, RP2) to the minecraft.jar file just like you would for manually patching in the other stuff that IC2 needs. You ALSO need the mods in the mods/ folder so that modloader knows what you shoved inside. This, as I stated before, is due to an erroneous assumption in modloader that all operating systems return a list of files in pre-sorted order; when that is not at all the case.

    I'm on OS X and didn't do things that way (thank goodness).


    Shove modloader etc in minecraft.jar
    Shove mods in mod folder
    Enjoy.
