How about an option to turn off the water requirement? Liquid pipes aren't my most favorite on a server.
Technically you don't have to cool them with water, they will not explode if they overheat. But disable the cooling completely? No, I don't think that will happen. However, alternate cooling methods, maybe air cooled, or by using ice, those would be in line with what I have planned in the future.
I also observe that the electric engines don't handle portable power very well. Medium Electric engines don't take energy crystals or lapitron crystals and suck re batteries dry in a minute. Large Electric Engines don't take lapitron crystals and suck energy crystals dry in a minute... O.o This makes for remote operations difficult, need an inventory full of batteries and be swapping them out constantly.
Though if I build a bigger infrastructure, an MFE or MFSU wired to it, yeah, it would work but for a temporary location, say, a BC Filler to create a new large room as the start of an outpost, it would be kinda silly. At least in my opinion... Will this get fixed in future updates?
they use the appropriate crystal for their voltage. If you want a long term remote outpost, 1 petro gen + 1 buckets of fuel will keep 2 MEEs running for 20 mins.
Any chance for a config option for SMP, to alter the conversion rates of the engines?
possibly once the 3.x branch hits SMP, right now the BC energy pipes have too many bugs in them in the 2.x branch to make that config option meaningful.
Display MoreSo I was testing my SMP map in SSP when I noticed something interesting: There was oil in my holding tanks. It seems as though the machines DID work in SMP.
So, going back into SMP, I played around a bit. As it turns out, the Oil Materializer IS doing its job when UU-matter is piped in. The matter is being buffered, and oil produced, which IS being drawn out via the wooden waterproof pipe into the tanks. Also, said oil is now being pumped into the Petrochemical generators and I can confirm that they are running.
BUT, and there is a but, I have a definite GUI issue. On the Oil Materializer, I have to revise my earlier statement. When the UU-matter is piped or tubed in, the machine goes to work making oil, BUT nothing at all appears in the GUI. The oil is pumped out, and still nothing in the GUI. I don't know how much oil is in the machine, or how many UU-matter's are buffered. Earlier I stated that manually loading the machine caused the GUI to work and make oil, which I could not extract with the pipes. As it turns out, when I place the matter manually into the machine, the GUI runs, but in fact no oil is being produced, and everytime I log out, that particular UU-matter remains in my inventory when I come back. This would explain why I couldn't get oil when I was manually loading.
Second, the Petrochemical Generator runs. I can pipe in oil or fuel and it churns out EU's, but I CANNOT right click on the generator or the client crashes, which does not happen in SSP.
Also, the NPE I mentioned earlier is in fact a Forge issue, since with a clean .jar and fresh latest or recommended Forge builds without any other mods are all it takes to cause the error, but it does not appear to affect gameplay.
I'm happy, since it works, but I'd rather this addon were more stable. Any thoughts?

post a proper bug report following the guidelines in the OP for the crash.
Display MoreI cant use it on my Server everytime i get an error *sigh* The Clientside Mod works fine no Problems only the Serverside dont want to work. PS: Dont know how to insert the file here so i post it as a spoiler.
Modloader.txt:
wrong load order
I've been testing this addon as a replacement for Power Converters on SMP since that has now been taken over by Tekrush and is now on a purely upkeep development cycle.
So far, I've really been enjoying the addon, having designed a power complex around its systems. However, I've run into some problems that I'm not sure aren't entirely user errors.
First, I've noticed that if I right-click on the Petrochemical Generator, doesn't matter what is in my hand, the client crashes and the server spits out a timeout error, which makes me think it might be a client-side GUI fault. Would modloader complain if I had conflicting GUI's?
Unfortunately there is not warning for GUI conflicts. You can try playing a single player map with the same configs and depending on how the mods are set up it may show the conflicting GUI when you use the OM.
Second, with the Oil Materializer, I've noticed some strange behavior, namely that if I attempt to use BC or Redpower to pipe in UU-matter into either top, sides, or bottom, nothing happens. If I send in 3 UU-matter, once I destroy the machine to reset it, I get 2 back, although nothing appears in the machine's GUI.
I don't know what you mean by 'nothing happens' be more specific. What do you expect to happen?
The OM uses up UU-matter before checking if there is room to store the output, so if it was full the UU-matter is stored in a production buffer and it will start producing if there is room.
Next, with the same machine, if I manually load it with UU-matter, I cannot extract the oil with wooden waterproof pipes on any side with either a redstone or stone engine. Hence, for all intents and purposes this machine is useless to me at this time.
Make sure the pipe is facing the correct way, and that nothing else has loaded a flawed version of the buildcraft API.
I am running latest versions of Forge, EE, BC, RP, IC2, and this addon.
If this is indeed buggy behavior, I'll be happy to write out a full bug report, but as I said, I'm not sure this is not an error on my part.
Thank you for your time.

Hello! I am having a small problem. Well, let's stress, this *is* the IB version of the crossover. Currently running 1.64 of IC2 (haven't updated yet) with BC 3.1.3 and have the IB V0.05 crossover for BC 3.1.3 and IC 1.64 . When I go to craft a Medium Electric Engine it's not recognizing the bronze ingot. Now I know the ore dictionary is working, I can use this bronze to make Mixed Metal Ingots from IC2 and Sturdy Machines from Forestry. So I am at a loss as to what's broken.
Wow... Just... Wow... My Spoiler hidden Modloader.txt file is too big for the editor. Ok, so, Modloader put onto Pastebin, use link below.
This mod doesn't yet use the ore dictionary. I will add it later after things have stabilized a bit, I just don't want to add that complexity just yet.
I Just thought I would pop in to make a suggestion (I don't know if it has been asked before). would it be possible to add support for the use of bio-fuel (refined bio-mass) from the forestry mod in petrochemical generators? (I realize that would mean that they are no longer true petrochemical generators).
It would help me out a lot.
it is on my todo list, just not a high priority.
hotfix posted for liquid containers.
Bukkit version has also been updated.
For Linux load order issues you can try change the file dates or putting BC/IC2 into the jar.
Add a lowercase z in front of the filename
silentdeth: You should consider implementing BaseMod.getPriorities().
I do, have, it doesn't work on servers it seems, maybe the forge version of modloader breaks something? I don't know. Also you'll note there is a z in front of the file name.
New versions posted.
Note IB has changed save format, be sure to read the changelog, especially the last item :).
Display MoreApologies if I've missed this being requested earlier, went through all 26 pages and didn't find it though.
Would it be possible to add a small* (possibly optional?) EU requirement to redstone engines, inline with the ratio of BCE:EU that other engines use? Trying to have a "nothing free, nothing with no real world equivalent**" game, and redstone engines are - while limited - free energy.
* Steam/Small electrics produce what, 1 BCE/tick? Maybe have redstones use 1 EU/cycle?
** Within the obvious limits of minecraft - not many creepers and dragons in England. None outside Parliament anyway...
Fantastic mod by the way, BC engines have been firmly relegated to ingredient only status now!
don't wish to change spacetoad's code in that manner. However, he has stated he plans to redo the redstone engines at some point. The equivalent EU usage for a redstone engine would be 0.125 EU/t.
Not quite sure what you mean... What am I supposed to power? I need to pump out items from IC2 machines and other stuff.
I mean you were using a wooden transport pipe, you need to use a wooden conductive pipe to transport energy.
Display Morepps There is another bug - it seems, that engines limit an IC2-energy packet size.
To reproduce: put induction furnance and 10-12 small engines to 1 common wire (I took fiberglass). Engines must be not activated. Power source may be any (MFS-T2-T1 in my case). Then run a furnance and measure power on it. There are 12 engines on screenshots, and only 8 eu/t to furnance (must be 16), and only 8 taked from MFS, so the engines don't consume any eu.
img 1, power to furnance
img 2, state of the furnance, it shows the furnance don't have enough energy
img3, power taked from MFS, measurement is performed on fiberglass under crosshair
modloader.txt the same
ill look into it for the next version.
Display MoreSorry, forgot about it =)
found and mushed. Dare I ask why you were trying to power a wooden transport pipe?
Display MoreHave a bug.
Electric engines run without need of IC-energy and acts like IC-source.
Test scheme:
Charge BatBox with RE-bat, activate engine with redstone. BatBox will start to charge from output (!) side.
SSP, MC 1.1, IC2 1.64, BC 2.2.12, RP 2.0 4d, Adv. machines 3.2b2, Crossover 1.18.
UPDATE: problem appears at the moment when redstone signal is off - engine sends EU back to circuit, and it sends back more than it takes. Example (activated by RedPower timer with 1s interval):
modloader.txt
Sooooo what? Excited?
I just thought people would want to know about the block IDs, now you'll be able to have an utterly ridiculous amount of mods installed at the same time.
Quote from http://www.mojang.com/
- Maximum build height has been increased to 256 (was 128)
- Empty sections of the world are not loaded into memory
- Block ids have been increased to 4096 (was 256) by adding a 4 bit data layer (similar to how meta data is stored)
- Block ordering have been changed from x/z/y to y/z/x in order to improve compression
- Packets for sending chunks have been updated (a full 128-high chunk is smaller than the old format, and a chunk with lots of empty space is much smaller)
- Biomes are saved per x/z column, which means they can be altered by tools

After updating Buildcraft from 2..2.12 to 3.1.3 the Problem cames up. Already placed the crossover line in the config at the bottom.
Thanks for your help.
try reading the bold, colored, and underlined part right below the download link.
The existing BC 3.x triggers in IBv.05 are being adopted by IC2.
so ya i am stumped. so i put uu mater into my oil materilizer and the next thing that happens. well you guess it nothing. so i log out and back on and i have the uu mater in my inventory which i had placed in my oil materilzer
lag
