in the latest build for 1.7.10 the tin plates are uncraftable. It is caused by a double entry in material component config for tin plates (after enabling the 'per item' setting), the first one being false and the second one being true. After deleting the false entry it works, another fix is by enabling the global setting for unused plates. Maybe a hotfix?

EDIT: Actually it doesn't work after deleting the entry, tin plates come back to life ONLY after enabling the global setting for unused plates. After deleting the entry it comes back after loading the game.

in 1.6.4 all you had to do, was place a sound file in .ogg format inside the sounds folder (within the mod file) and change one thing in the config. Make sure it is named like this:

alarm-NAMEHERE.ogg

then go to the IC2 config file, and look for the line: allowed alarms

add a comma, and type the alarm name there. Don't put the comma at the end.

So, let's say I want the alarm called temperature:

I add a file called alarm-temperature.ogg
Then I go to config and make sure that the line allowed alarms looks like this:

allowedAlarms=default,sci-fi,temperature

Done

Compact Watermills, they are not for 1.7.10. You can load the mod, the items will show up, but the client will crash upon placing the watermill. I've seen people reporting this, happened to me as well.

hey Mike, some notes from me:

I've been playing around with your mass cleaner, and noticed that it doesn't work when pointing at a block above you. So I can't clear upwards, only forward and downward. Don't know if that is intended but it seems more like a bug.
Also, graphene plates recipe just doesn't show up in NEI, is it because that NEI plugins mod doesn't support your mod yet? Actually, NEI doesn't show up any of your recipes except 'shaped' recipes. Also, when your play with flat bedrock feature/mod, there seems to be no way to actually start to work with your mod. I'm using that feature from TE (I think), so my bedrock is flat, so I can't break it and I can't craft any of your machines.
Also, the leaf blower seems to clear also the tree leaves, which is a problem when you use treecapitator. By deafult, Treecapitator recognizes trees with checking if there are some leaves attached, that is to prevent accidental mass destruction off wooden constructions. That conflicts with your mod, since when you use the blower, leaves are gone and you can't chop down those trees quickly anymore, because Treecapitator thinks that they are no more tress. Adding a config for which blocks should be blown away would solve it.

This addon is very nice, a lot of great ideas in it. Leaf blower is great actually Thanks for your work, and keep it up

Ok so, when I tried to add my own sound, I did everything correct. But when I opened up my world, the alarm showed no options for sounds, not even the default. I checked all the names in all the files repeatedly, and nothing was wrong.

happened to me also during my first json edit ever - I put a comma after the last line with alarms. Make sure it looks like this:

notice the lack of comma after the last line

I've already done most of it, but only blocks. I'm not good at creating items unfortunately.

I've been doing my own texture pack for IC2 experimental, but lost heart for it for now. Here are some examples:

yup cool that you guys actually made it happen my arms are probably much shorter on this forum than yours so I couldn't reach any of the devs anyway

I am the one who originally had this addon idea

heh I thought I suggested something similar myself some time ago already, and you even took part in the conversation. I mistook EV with IV though back then. Anyway I'm happy that this actually came true

link: EV storage block?

Thank for the new build. Please don't forget the promised sound loop maybe in the next build?

Quote from Zuxelus

It is possible. Now we play sound, stop, wait, check again the conditions, then play again or not. That's why we have gaps.
But we can create another algorithm. We can start playing in a loop (without checking conditions) until we run a command to stop playing.
I can add the checkbox "play in a loop" to alarm's gui to select the second variant.

I couldn't be more grateful thank you very much. I am looking forward to the next build if you are going to implement that.

Question to a developer

As a sound freak, I use your howler alarms to create sound for many objects in my world. I create sounds for machines that are silent by default, however I have a question.
Is it possible for you, to alter the way howler alarm plays sounds, so there is no 'gap' between loops? It would be very nice really.
For better example, I use the howler for GT electric blast furnace, which is silent. I setup a buildcraft gate to emit a redstone signal, when there are items in the blast furnace inventory. It triggers the howler alarm, which plays the 30 second sound file. All fine, but my blast furnace works non stop so there is always that little gap when the loop occurs. That makes all my effort to design a seamless sound go for nothing.

Could you consider such a fix in your next build? If you don't care, at least say no.
Thank you in advance.

I download it from the Netherlands too

Do you use this link?
http://files.player.to/fastcraft-1.9.jar

works fine by me

If you have still the same after installing FastCraft 1.9, install FastCraft 1.6. It helps a lot of people, including me. There is no link for this version, only you have to switch the version number in the original link provided in FastCraft thread.

Working fine by me, it's quite quick, you can hit the shore hard and it's not destroyed. I can pick it back up by left clicking with a pickaxe.

Latest build for 1.7.10
What version are you using?
I was having ths same problems with build for Minecraft 1.6.x

Hello Player!

I have a question regarding my small issue.
FastCraft is doing miracles to my game, but only until version 1.6. Any version above creates terrible choppy FPS, even though the FPS counter shows 59-60, it works worse than even without FastCraft. I don't ask for a fix for this because it works different on every computer, I understand that much. Especially that version 1.6 suits my system almost perfectly, except that one small issue that's been bothering me since I am a texture creator, and this issue concerns textures.
Namely, it's about mcmeta texture animations. I mean, some work, like lava or water. But mcmeta animations from mods doesn't seem to work at all. Liquids are all time still. Machines from gregtech are all time still (yes, when they are working).
When I install fastcraft 1.9, the animations start to work, very fast however but they work - however as I mentioned before, versions above 1.6 give me lag.

It doesn't hurt to ask if you could do something about it, but for version 1.6. This probably is a small fix and I would be very grateful.
Please respond, it is more important to me than you could imagine
Thanks in advance

Thanks both of you for quick responses. It's working now.
Sorry for not reading the Q&A like I should after installing new GT.

Hello, just recently I discovered that gregtech new energy system is not compatible with IC2 EU. In great disappointment I searched the internet to look for a solution, and I found this info on official ftb wiki:
http://wiki.feed-the-beast.com/GregTech/Electricity
one of the lines says, that 'the transformer' is the only block capable of recieving IC2 EU. However I tried to connect the MFSU with any of the Gregtech transformer, with both IC2 and Gregtech cables - but with no success. GT machines will not accept IC2 cables, and the MFSU is not accepting GT cables either.

Anybody knows something about this? Is there a solution?
Does new GT have a storage block like MFSU? I cannot see any and AESU and LESU seem to be gone either.
