I recently bought minecraft as well as rented a server and someone suggested that I install IC2 on it. After a few hours of research and futile attempts to install it on my own, I figured I'd make an account and ask the wonderful people here for help installing it. I found out that it's not bukkit compatible and reverted my server back to vanilla, though I cannot find a tutorial as to how to install it. All I could find are tutorials for servers hosted on machines at homes. The server is running version 1.4.5 of minecraft and I would like to run the IC2 1.4.5 beta any help is much appreciated.
Installing IC2 on a server
-
1. Download the latest version of Forge Universal, put it in your Minecraft_Server.jar.
EDIT: 1a. Do not delete META-INF
2. Run your server.
3. When your server has finished initializing, close it.
4. Put IC2 v1.109 in the mods folder.
5. Delete your world save (not necessary, but it helps with creating ores).
6. Run your server. -
got it!!
I contacted the server host and asked them about the elusive minecraft_server.jar file and they said to dl one from the minecraft website, mod it how i want, upload it to the server directory, then contact them asking to enable custom .jars.
Thank you for the help crafterofmines

you don't need to edit minecraft_server.jar
1. Download Forge.
2. Put forge and minecraft_server.jar into the same folder.
3. run the forge jar as you would the minecraft_server.jar. It will find the minecraft_server.jar and load.
on my linux server I have a script to restart the server automatically;
Bash
Display More#!/bin/bash while true do java -d64 -Xmx2G -Xms2G -jar minecraftforge.jar echo "Sleeping ..." sleep 5 doneIt's easy to do the same thing in a .bat.
4. Stop the server with "stop".
5. Put any mods in mods folder, coremods into coremods.
6. Start the server again.

Yeah, while it's semi-unnecessary to do it my way for the server, I think it is easier to instruct people to do the same thing for if they were to mod their clients with the same mods.

This launchers are not for server...

alright, so I got the .jar modded and uploaded, it boots up forge but not ic2. and ideas?
How are you installing it? Are you putting IC2 in the mods folder?
-
I put the industrial craft 2 Jar file in the mods folder that forge created.
Are you sure that your versions of Minecraft and IC2 match? If so, can you post the error log that should be titled ForgeModLoader-0 or something similar?

Multicraft? Sorry I haven't heard of it before, I can't guarantee that my earlier instructions work, although for now they seem to be working.

solved it.
When I uploaded the modded minecraft_server.jar file to the server, I saved it as "minecraftforge_server.jar", thinking it would be easy to differentiate it between the other .jars that I could choose from in the .jar file selection list. Apparently the server couldn't tell that it was a custom server file and created another "minecraft_server.jar" file loading that one (and tekkit sub-consequently loaded instead) I changed the name of "minecraftforge_server.jar to minecraft_server.jar and it booted the latest version as well as IC2 (log below)
^ ^half of the log, the whole thing is to many characters.
For now it's working
Thanks for the help and pointing out that the server version mismatch, without that I wouldn't have been able to figure it out.
