I can't toggle hover mode on the Advanced Electric Jetpack on 1.7.10 version 2.0.3 of GraviSuite. I CAN toggle the hover mode on the regular IC2 jetpack, and there are no key binding conflicts. I can toggle the engines on and off fine, but not the flight mode. How can I fix this?

I have the same problem, here is my previous post:

Im having a problem when trying to switch modes of the Adv Diamond Drill, the default key (M) was binded to Rei's Minimap, so i changed Rei's to (N), but the Adv Diamond Drill mode wont change, then i changed the key to (GRAVE, that one to the left side of 1, just below ESC) but it still doesnt works, im using Gravisuite 2.0.3 and IC2 2.2.726-experimental (MC 1.7.10, btw it is a Cauldron server).

Also, the key DOES works with IC2 items: I can change the Laser mode with the M (and GRAVE too), so this seems weird, any help folks?

I have found that when you have Flans Mod and Gravisuite you cant change the mode of the tools from this mod, but it is possible to do with the IC2 tools, currently im using 3 content packs (Modern Warfare, Simple Parts and WW2) and can replicate the issue, then tried with no content packs and the issue replicates again.

Further data:
MC 1.7.10
Forge 1490

Mod list:
industrialcraft-2-2.2.748-experimental
GraviSuite-1.7.10-2.0.3
Flans Mod-1.7.10-4.9.0

--------

Will try another versions and comment again

EDIT: With IC2 Exp 757 (latest i think) and Flans Mod 4.10.0 (Latest) the issue still persist

On multiplayer servers damage values don't always display correctly, especially in the case of lap packs and mining lasers, the sprite simply updates when you click to take it off.

Its happening in singleplayer

When using rubberboots, i was invincible, the item id was like this: rubberbootsID:-173
i dont recall the damage value of it, but it was negative, then i took a trip to the nether and when blazes did fire at me, i was burning and stuff but i didnt took any dmg, until i took off the rubber boots

First off I love IC, I love the work you guys do and I'd likely still be using this if you didn't change anything.

That said the last ~45 seconds of Kane's rant (Yes its a rant) is about the only useful section. It is quite flaming to the IC devs, but unfortunately is is a symptom of a problem between the dev team and the users. I think the base points that are trying to be made are:

1. Release more fixes
2. Be more open (not necessarly source)
3. Communicate more to the users.
4. Accept help
5. Test better

Now to my 2 cents.

A. Please do nightly regular builds
B. Get a bug tracker
C. Communicate to the users
D. Open up a little and relax

A. The build thing is a common problem I see around here "its fixed in..." "its fixed already..." If we had access to more incremental or "hot-fix" builds then we would be able to help find new bugs or stop crying all-together. This also leads into B.

B. Get a bug tracker. From what I've been able to discern (maybe I'm wrong) is that the only area to post bugs is the form. Which is nearly the worst way to track issues other than maybe PM's. Please get a tracker, they are easy to monitor, easy to see if a problem was already reported and easy to see if the problem was already fixed. It should reduce the time you guys spend yelling talking at people about duplicate reports. This also leads to C.

C. Communicate. The information we can (easily) find related to updates, progress, and known issues is difficult to find to non-existent. Formalized bug tracking will help (See B). Please stop taking a lot of the users "stupidity" or otherwise lack of following your directions as an insult. At times the dev team can be very hostile to users simply because they ask a dumb question, or didn't read through a couple hundred posts.

D. You have openly flamed rawcode for his 1.106 bugfix mod. Yes he should have asked for permission per your directions, but it also shows that there are issues here. If your user feels that it's necessary to post fixes because you have failed to publish them, don't flame them over it. First relax, then see what you can do to pull this back into IC. Maybe they could be a contirbutor, there are other sub-mod contributors that might be helpfull to IC in general as bug hunters. We all do these kinds of things because we a passionate about them, but at times we need to step back, relax and let someone else help if they can and/or are willing to.

Thanks

Perfect sum of my thoughts when listening to the video.
Please do the regular builds, and accept help from the users, the bug tracker is one of the most coolest ideas, but if the dev-team is not going to make hotfixes (or regular builds, w/e) it will not be useful, i mean, what he says on the video is true, we' been waiting almost 3 weeks to get a bugfix, and got no answer until this.
Please, take advantage of this situation and reconsider some things =)

nvm i figured out, was the normal method; just put it inside the mods folder
i was worried because magic laucher said "no mods found" but is working flawlessly

thx

Question is, what addon?

addons for IC2, like adv machines, adv solar panels, nuclear reactor control, 100% effective wrench, etc

hi, whenever i try to play with an addon installed correctly, starting the game with magic launcher (i use this to manage mods, and always having a clean minecraft.jar, ETC) the game starts flawlessly, but the addon was never installed, any toughts about this?

How exactly can you use redpower pipes with certain ic2 machines? When I try to use them they just attempt to place the blocks in the wrong slots of the machine, for example, cobblestone into a recyclers output slot (where the scrap goes)? Also what is the best method of powering redpower 2 machines, since I find it annoying to alone make the alloys and stuff but also to wire 2 different power sources (IC2 and redpower2) all the way from the solars at ground-level to my underground house.

Im not using redpower pipes.. and maybe a thermopile? idk

Quote from Zudguard

heh, yeah, put a switch on the timer triggering the blockbreakers, then you can turn it off and on whenever

There is a lever already, in the first screenshot, behind the timer (at the left-most upper corner) you can barely see it :p

just remove the golems drop and thats it, no one will care as they always been extracting the iron from below

Quote from Zudguard

looking interesting.

not sure why you are using pistons to move the cobble in front of the blockbreakers, as you can place the blockbreakers right in front of where the cobble is created

something like this
....

........

the empty cells are space for the water to flow without killing the lava source block. the uranium cell is where the cobble is produced, with the blockbreaker directly above or below it. usually above. (see mining laser)

I realised about that in my first design, but for just looking better i made it that way, aesthetics was quite important for me since my designs are a bit disorganized and building it while making it look good helps with that, anyways, i might change that now, as the sound is fucking killing my ears everytime i go downstairs hahah

LOL never tought that, but it really looks like it xD

Quote from Rick

There's no need to keep rotating the items in the pipes if you use redpower pipes. They got a smart ai and they will ignore full chests. Redpower also got sorters to help sort your items (and it works really good).

Thats nice to know, im pretty new to BC and RP2 itself :p.. maybe in a few days i will update my factory, thanks for the tip!

Hey everybody, this is my first design of an automated factory (i built a drop sorting machine for my mob grinder just yesterday), the basics are stone generators > block breakers > pipes > recyclers > chests, this is all legit, the only cheat im using is noclip to take the pictures lol because the space there is kinda small, anyways, here are the screenshots :p :

First, the stone generators, the stone is produced and pushed by pistons to the block breakers, these break the stone, and put it into the chests, the pipes retrieves the items from the chest and transport them to the temporary cobblestone storage.

The cobblestone temporary storage, this is the second stage in the production chain, in there, 4 wooden pipes take the items from the chest and take them into 4 separate ways to the next stage:

The end of the production chain: the recyclers; the pipes transport the cobblestone into the recyclers, and when a scrap is made the wooden pipes take it and take it to the main storage pipe.

Here i put a diamond pipe, to take the cobblestone (if any, the design is safe to only allow the scrap to continue to the chests, but better safe than sorry), if the temporary cobblestone storage is full, the incoming cobblestone is burnt in lava 5 blocks below the pipe.

And finally, the scrap storage room, not really a room, but an extension to the factory lol, here the pipe transporting the scrap tries to deposit it into the first chest, if it fails, then it tries into the second chest, and that way if all chest are full, the scrap keeps rotating from chest to chest until it gets in, the overflow system is the one seen in this picture.

Hope you liked my factory, tips or comments are always welcome, thanks!

lol thats bad luck

Wow these looks pretty cool dude, great work!

What about laser cartridges? like magazines for real weapons, when one is depleted the next one will give the EU to the laser :p?

Cool! i prefer the light theme of Dokucraft, but this totally rocks!!11!

As a big fan of Doku's work, i cant wait for this
