It was forever ago that I looked into it, but if I remember right, solars were/are bugged so that they still don't work in rain. There was some thread that actually proved it, maybe I could find that again....

Nope, I think it got deleted, but I think it still is bugged. The isDaytime() function is based on skylight values, which are directly affected by rain/thunder. According to that old thread, the light values were low enough during rain/thunder to shut solars off. Anyone actually looked at a desert based solar during a rainstorm? I wouldn't be surprised if the sun indicator is blank...

I was under the impression this was intentional, and last I checked, solars work in deserts even when it's raining.

The electric jetpack can only fly so high.

I totally think this should be called a Zeus Cannon

On topic:
I think this would kinda kill PvP base defence. Rubber boots are very easy to craft and complete immunity would be pretty unbalanced.

The ones that are prefixed with "Emit" will send out redstone signals on those events. The others are for receiving redstone signals.

Hmm, I was under the impression that forge 171 fixed that issue. It works fine in build 152. Is there any particular reason you need 171?

It isn't on the wiki because in the current version it's made with gold cables

Don't use modloader. Forge has it's own modloader.

Edit: Also, you really don't need to use a program to install this stuff. All you need to do is extract forge into minecraft.jar and then throw the IC2 zip into the mods folder.

Nukes are way too easy to craft. They should cost: 1 Uraniumblock + 4 ITNT + 3 Refined Iron + 1 Advanced Circuit

This isn't a bug I've ever seen in the real (non-tekkit) version of the mod.

Alternatively, find the "Forge-ModLoader" log files in the .minecraft folder and post those.

152 works fine with 1.97. I have many people who play on my server using 152, including myself.

Was it charged? Were you in the nether or end?

I wasn't being sarcastic and didn't mean to come off that way. That's just the best answer anyone can give you
I believe they're working on a final release for 1.2.5 and I'm assuming it'll be out shortly so they can get on with porting to 1.3.1 (once forge is updated, of course. Lex said the first Forge update will be ready today or tomorrow.)

It's fixed in the development build which will be made available when it's ready.

I believe the overall issue is that they NEED to release a new version of IC2, the current one is riddled with many game breaking bugs (well, for my economy server they are game-breaking), and now is incompatible with the mod it requires (even though it is a relatively new version). I am very disappointed that we cant remove our Personal Safes / Trade-o-mats in SMP, especially since there are a few that were placed out in the middle of my town making them a major eyesore. From what i understand they fixed this issue too, so where is the fix?
(sorry for sounding inconsiderate, but i really need these fixes - plz just a bug fix release!?!?)

For now, just flip into creative mode for a second and punch them. You won't get a crash.

Unfortunately you'll probably have to use world editing software to replace them all with the proper CF blocks

Does this measure power, or time? If I used 1 eu/t for 10 seconds, would it cost as much as using 32 eu/t for 10 seconds?

If the *average* power going through is 1 eu/t, then it'll measure properly. If they are actually 1 eu/t packets then the measurement will be off. It simply measures the time.

I think I may have a go at it in a few days, just for fun.

I've never worked with Minecraft so I can't speak from experience there, but I've been programming games for many years and it really doesn't seem like it should be too difficult. Using an 8-bit colour scheme (which I think would fit Minecraft well) all you'd need for all 3 colour mappings is to add a single unsigned char to the chunk's structure. Then change the light texture to an array, and set the colour index before doing the multitextured render.

Like I said though, I've never even looked at MC's code so I might be full of shit.
