First thing to note is that IC² is now on MC 1.4.6, and unless you will zip
up a copy for MC 1.2.5 (you will end up with a black screen). Secondly,
Forge has separated from ModLoader and ModLoaderMP, however mods using
those can still be ran on Forge, but Forge mods cannot be ran on ML and
MLMP. Using them together will cause crashes.
How to set up client:
1. Force Update to clear your minecraft.jar Ok, right.
2. Delete META-INF folder. Done
3. Download the latest Forge and drag the contents into the minecraft.jar. Do not delete the META-INF that comes with Forge. Ok, cool
4. Install Optifine by dragging its contents into the minecraft.jar (optional, but recommended) Trusing you, I did that too.
5. Launch Minecraft And it works
6. Close Minecraft And it... well, closes, basically
7. Install IC² by dragging its jar file to the mods folder. Done
8. ???
9. Profit Run Minecraft, wait before FML checks some few things, get the Mojang screen, and then... black screen.
Reading carefully what you said once again, I understand that I have to use MC 1.4.6. Trying it out.
Ok so after I got that I needed all in 1.4.6 (Forge, IC² AND Minecraft), it finally worked in SSP.
I might have done something wrong, because every time I'm crafting an IC² item, it POWERLAGS like hell.
How to set up LAN server Actually it's the dedicated server how-to that I need, but thanks for that part anyway

How to set up dedicated server
1. Place the minecraft_server.jar in your Server Folder So, err, empty folder, right ? Right.
2. Place Forge in the Server Folder. (DO NOT DRAG IT INTO YOUR SERVER JAR) Ok, did that.
3. Run Forge. This will be how you run your server. Here, I quite didnt understand. The Forge file I got from their website, and used both for client and server as advised by Wliu is a .zip archive (minecraftforge-universal-1.4.7-6.6.0.499.zip, precisely). And, apart from extracting files from it, I quite didn't get how to "run" it
[Later]
I guess that I'm gonna need the 1.4.6 minecraft_server.jar too... Any idea about where I can find it ?
4. Close your server
4. Drag IC²'s jar file to the mods folder.
