TFC Voltworks

[plush matrix]

1000!

[smoky gate]

@round terrace since you played a bit of the pack a couple of week ago, do you think i should move to 1.20? Maybe change some things too

[boreal kite]

I was testing it out and somehow the Day and Night Circle Broke

Not sure how that happens, but it was stuck at 7 PM

[smoky gate]

I never had that issue.

[limpid adder]

/gamerule doDayNightCycle treu

[boreal kite]

No idea how it happened but that fixed it

[boreal kite]

Thanks Man

[smoky gate]

So were starting a bit on the 1.20 port

[rustic shell]

is this on Curseforge

[smoky gate]

The 1.20 version will be, but the 1.18 version cannot be.

[smoky gate]

⚠️ Very EARLY ALPHA
Here is the instance of the 1.20 version of TFC Voltworks:
Please be warned nothing is currently made, only the modlist:
.minecraft Download
After installing you will need to put in .minecraft and UNZIP.

[brittle pollen]

Is sodium compatible?

[smoky gate]

Its already inside

[brittle pollen]

It's not showing up in my mod list for some reason

Ah

Embeddium

I see

[brittle pollen]

I'm gonna be honest

I feel like this modpack just isn't hitting the same as SFC for me

I might come back to it later but for now I'm probably gonna keep going on my previous playthrough

Actually nvm I'm not sure

I'm still thinking to myself lol
I might keep playing this one

I miss Move Plus

Are you thinking about implementing Sewing Kit in this modpack? Maybe Corpse?

I love Sewing Kit

[smoky gate]

Thats because the modpack isnt finished, i told you already

[smoky gate]

Tell me what sfc is doing better then

[brittle pollen]

Sorry

[smoky gate]

So what do you think made sfc good ?

[brittle pollen]

I should have thought before I spoke

A lot of the things I liked about SFC were mods that aren't even updated to 1.20 yet, so it's not fair to say I liked the mods in one more than the other

[smoky gate]

No its fine lol, i actually agree the pack currently sucks

The 1.18 version of this pack is better

But yea

[brittle pollen]

Like I was saying earlier, Move Plus (lets you climb 2 block tall ledges while holding the run button, lets you leap when pressing run and jump at the same time), Effective (lots of new effects for water splashing, waterfalls, screen shake effects, fireflies), Presence Footsteps (makes walking sounds a lot more detailed), those are a few mods (that haven't been updated past 1.18.2) that I enjoyed

As for the ones that ARE currently compatible, I really like Corpse (makes a corpse where you died with all your items that doesn't despawn until you pick up all your items), Better Foliage for Forge (adds more leaves onto the sides of leaf blocks), Rubidium Dynamic Lights (self-explanatory: bright-looking items and mobs light up their surroundings, similar to Optifine), Rubidium Extra (adds lots more settings to the Rubidium menu, including more settings for Animations, Rendering, Weather, Sky, Toast notifications, etc. I tried it, and it's compatible with Embeddium and Embeddium++), Sewing Kit (adds needles and sewing to the game, making leatherworking more involved and advanced), to name a few

[smoky gate]

Rubidium extra is already in

[brittle pollen]

Rubidium Extras is already in, but Rubidium Extra is a different mod

Embeddium++ comes with Rubidium Extras, but not Rubidium Extra

iirc their only conflict is that they both have their own FPS counter setting, but I don't think enabling both breaks the game or anything, but rather just layers two fps counters on top of one another

The extra settings are all worth it imo

Also, I was mistaken, Corpse is functionally the same mod as Gravestones, which is already in the modpack

[smoky gate]

But if you want, I can change gravestone to corpse idk.

[brittle pollen]

It's up to you, I only mentioned Corpse because I didn't want my items despawning. Gravestones is totally fine too, it does the same thing

[smoky gate]

Added Better foliage

[brittle pollen]

Awesome!! Thank you!!

[smoky gate]

I will be adding quests soon.

If you like that.

I do not know if seriousfirmacraft has that.

[brittle pollen]

Iiiiii don't think so

[smoky gate]

Well there going to be quests in mine.

[brittle pollen]

are advancements a part of vanilla TFC-TNG?

[smoky gate]

yes.

[brittle pollen]

Yeah then I don't think they were in SFC

What are quests going to be for?

If advancements are a thing already

[smoky gate]

More of a progression-based quests with description

that explain the mod.

also on later tiers where I change tfc progression

[brittle pollen]

Ahh

[smoky gate]

Here how they will look like.

[brittle pollen]

Interesting

I'm up for that

[old ingot]

If you want better movement, try Parcool. It has wallrunning, climbing leddges, and leaping.

[rustic shell]

@smoky gate the game crashed for some reason

and i noticed its happening on all of my TFC Modpacks

hmm, weird

[smoky gate]

Send the crash log

[rustic shell]

oh that was like 6 hours ago lmao i dont have it anymore sorry mate

if it crashes again i will do tho! 😄

[smoky gate]

Also what version are you playing of this pack

[rustic shell]

1.18.2

[smoky gate]

Whats your opinion on it currently ?

[rustic shell]

howcome?

i mean i just like any terrafirma modpacks, regardless :P

so its good in my books!

heheh

👍

[brittle pollen]

Thank you so much! I love the way it looks

I'm gonna enjoy using that a lot

[rancid oriole]

would that Move Plus do anything for mobs? Id like to go for big cats being able to scale ledges, and never came across something that accomplished that yet.

[brittle pollen]

Nope, it's purely for the player

If you wanted to make tfc mobs jump higher you'd probably have to make your own addon, I don't think anyone else is doing it

[brittle pollen]

@smoky gate did you make custom recipe integration with the create addons?

[smoky gate]

Yes, and I probably did it the best out of all the pack out there, i worked on it for months after all. lol

[brittle pollen]

Very nice

Definitely looking forward to playing the finished product

[smoky gate]

The 1.18 version is… finished

[brittle pollen]

I mean the process of porting

[smoky gate]

Yes well

[brittle pollen]

I want to see the tfc 1.20 worldgen

[smoky gate]

Yesterday ive started hiding shit in jei

[smoky gate]

Im working for 1.20, but if you want it to be faster you can always contribute

Anything, it can be textures, ideas, quests

[brittle pollen]

Hmmmmmm

[keen yew]

oh yeah still working on vexxels textures?

[smoky gate]

I finished mostly everything for vexxels 1.20

I updated Astikor Carts

Now I need to update small ships

[brittle pollen]

I honestly don't trust myself to make textures. I've never actually had experience with pixel art, and I'm afraid of not being able to get the artstyle down

[smoky gate]

also

[keen yew]

in vexxels textures?

[smoky gate]

the bookshelves are 3D

It's really nice

What do you guys think of that

[keen yew]

woah thats neat

[smoky gate]

I thought boring old flat texture was ugly

So I made this

[keen yew]

yeah i loved using those bookshelves

[brittle pollen]

It is just me, or do those books look pretty chunky

[keen yew]

pretty neat they are 3d

[smoky gate]

They are chunky like that in normal tfc

[brittle pollen]

Ahh

[smoky gate]

I just made them 3D

making them smaller would not be possible

because there only 6 books in it

[keen yew]

any other work that you might need help in?

[smoky gate]

so smaller would add bigger caps between them

[smoky gate]

recoloring small ships to use the same color palette as normal boats

[keen yew]

they just use vanilla wood textures right?

[brittle pollen]

When/if barrels 2012 gets a 1.20 port, I'd love to see it in your modpack

[smoky gate]

I already recolored astikor carts

[smoky gate]

I could technically port it myself, but I'm pretty sure Russian is going to do it soon enouh.

[keen yew]

also what program do you use?

[smoky gate]

Piskel but thats because that's what I'm used to

[keen yew]

i usually used gimp for pixel art work

[smoky gate]

it probably work too

so the thing I need is using the same color palette for every wood items/blocks

astikor cart per example didn't recolor it right

so it had a slight different clor than all of other wooden items

[smoky gate]

Basically if I say more details, you take small ships textures.
And try to make them the same color palette as the TFC boats in vexxels.

[keen yew]

just the icons or the actual ship entities textures?

[smoky gate]

Icons

[keen yew]

k ill have a crack at it

[brittle pollen]

Oh yeah i just thought of something

Oh wait actually nevermind hold on

[smoky gate]

what?

[brittle pollen]

Oh yeah

I think betterf3 would be a great addition to the modpack

Very configurable f3 menu

Color coded, resizable, different portions you can show and hide, everything

[keen yew]

writing a script to automate it a bit

[smoky gate]

I hate that mod because it's cluttered, add nothing useful, too much color, and just brain aneurysm.

My take is that things like coordinate should be outside the F3 menu.

F3 should be what it's made for, a debug menu.

Xaero minimap does that well allowing to see your coordinate outside of F3.

which is what most people use F3 for anyways.

[brittle pollen]

Honestly it feels a lot more organized to me than the the original f3

But everyone has their own tastes

Does xaero's world map provide chunk positions?

[smoky gate]

whats that? like the chunk file you're in?

[brittle pollen]

The coordinates of the chunk you're in

[smoky gate]

what would that be for?

[brittle pollen]

Not sure if the files use the coordinates for their naming schemes

[smoky gate]

they dont

[brittle pollen]

Honestly I don't remember. I know I needed it at one point. I guess there isn't a point if I can't remember though

[smoky gate]

the only reason you would need to know chunk coordinate is to abuse the world gen system to find where treasures generate lol

or shit like this

[brittle pollen]

Are you implying that's why I used it?

[smoky gate]

That's the only reasonable use i could find

[brittle pollen]

Do you know why the grass on the world map is gray when i put the colors to "accurate"

It looks like clay lol

[keen yew]

i think thats a xaeros map issue

[brittle pollen]

I'll try journeymap then

[smoky gate]

This is an issue with modern Xaero

[brittle pollen]

That's unfortunate

[smoky gate]

Not an issue in 1.18 for some reason

but since 1.20 I have this issue lol

[brittle pollen]

I wonder if they know about it already

[brittle pollen]

Yup, seems like someone who also plays tfc reported it https://legacy.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/xaeros-world-map/issues/758

[smoky gate]

Yea that's an issue with TFC.

[keen yew]

these are based of the boat textures/colors in vexxels pack

[smoky gate]

appreciate it

[keen yew]

If there's any problem with it let me know

Now that I have my script fully done I can edit all of them at once

[smoky gate]

what's your script? I'm interested in that

[keen yew]

It's a python script

Hard coded for the ship textures

[smoky gate]

I don't know python, how do you colore items automatically?

[keen yew]

I have it so it picks out some specific colors that I think would look good from the normal boat texture and then place them in their appropriate places on the ship textures

There's a tool in python from the pillow library that allows you to manipulate images and their pixels

[smoky gate]

Can you send what you did

[keen yew]

I'll dm it to you

[smoky gate]

Small questions for the plauer of this

What do you guys feels about the announcement of tfc mechanical power

Since its not compatible with create im not really sure

[brittle pollen]

I think it's exciting but I am concerned about create integration

I hope it becomes compatible

[smoky gate]

For voltworks i will have to choose between one of the two systems

[keen yew]

i think having create with tfc is cool especially for the trains and stuff but the new system does interact with tfc stuff nicely

[smoky gate]

Yea that's the thing but you know, I understand all of this.
It's just I will probably need to make a custom mod that implement all of that to Create.

[brittle pollen]

How is it not compatible? Like, programming wise? Mechanic wise?

[smoky gate]

TFC mechanical power is a much simpler implementation of mechanical power, not necessarily a bad thing but means its totally incompatible with Create.

The mechanical-powered devices in TFC won't work with Create.

[brittle pollen]

You mean, they can't interact? But you can technically play with them both installed?

[smoky gate]

Yes you could play with both

but it would be janky

The options I have is:

• Making a simple block that could allow transferring the two type of mechanical power
• Remove the TFC mechanical power entirely
• Maybe reimplement all of the TFC mechanical power stuff but with create in mind.

The last option would require us to code all of that shit.
The first option is possibly already in the work.

[brittle pollen]

I like the 1st and 3rd options, the third one would be more seamless but it would take way too much work to make i think

[smoky gate]

Yes.

Like I said, it kind of put some bars in the wheels.

Because it means I have to think of actually coding that + making the pack itself.

[brittle pollen]

I'd be cool with just using a block

Not sure how other players would feel. But I'm okay with it

[smoky gate]

In the first option I would probably remove everything except the actual devices themselves.

So no clutch, no gearboxes...

[brittle pollen]

Hmm

[smoky gate]

This is the TFC mechanical power.

if we make Create compat.

[brittle pollen]

I actually haven't gotten into create or the new tfc mechanics yet so I don't know what I would be missing out on

[smoky gate]

we will remove the waterwheel + windmill.

• gearboxes

• shaft

[brittle pollen]

This is difficult to think about

[smoky gate]

I mean like I said this new mechanical power does put significant barriers to the pack developement.

Because I'm not giving up create, but I do not want to give up the kind of fancy tools the tfc mechanical power may offer.

The only good option I can honestly see being possible is recoding everything.

It may take some time, but I don't want to just give up everything because tfc devs decided to do a completely entire different system.

[brittle pollen]

I'm mostly just concerned about your workload

[smoky gate]

No

Not a problem

I need to start doing Java work

[brittle pollen]

If you're alright with it, then...

[smoky gate]

So what do you guys think of removing tfc mechanical power from the pack for the moment ?

[brittle pollen]

I'm cool either way, I'll be patient

[smoky gate]

Alright, removed the TFC mechanical power.

[brittle pollen]

hovering over the bottling machine in the leftmost side of the recipe viewer while using JEI seems to crash the game

[smoky gate]

1.20 or 1.18?

[brittle pollen]

1.20

Also my world time stopped and I'm not sure if the crash caused that

It's infinitely day now and I have no idea what to do

[smoky gate]

/gamerule doDaylightCycle true

Try this

[brittle pollen]

Cheats are disabled

[smoky gate]

I mean

True

[brittle pollen]

Ok let me try

[smoky gate]

Open the world to lan > enable cheats

Then you can run

[brittle pollen]

Ok thanks

[smoky gate]

/gamerule doDaylightCycle true

[smoky gate]

In the next update there will be a /trigger fix to do that command without enabling cheat

[brittle pollen]

The sun! It moves again!

Awesome, thank you so much!

[smoky gate]

The time being frozen is a native tfc feature but it work badly

[smoky gate]

I guess im going to see if i can reproduce the bottling machine issue

[smoky gate]

@brittle pollen can you remove legendary tooltip mod and tell me if the crash with the bottling machine still happens?

[brittle pollen]

Alright

[brittle pollen]

It does not crash with Legendary Tooltips disabled, no

[smoky gate]

I guess i better remove it next update kek

[smoky gate]

@brittle pollen new « update » has fix for that, also trying to work for basic things in the pack lel

[brittle pollen]

Great! Thanks

[brittle pollen]

Also, it seems like the textures for liquids aren't showing up in jei crafting recipes. Is that a tfc beta bug?

Whoops

Needed to update

[brittle pollen]

Also, I updated legendary tooltips to 1.4.5, the bottler still crashes. Do you mean that you updated the modpack yourself to support it?

[smoky gate]

Fixed in next version

[smoky gate]

I changed the confih to support it

[pliant coral]

which animal will be Jerome's next profile picture? 🤔

[rustic shell]

my bets on tiger

o/ squid!

how are you doing buddy?

[brittle pollen]

Hello

I'm doing alright

[brittle pollen]

Still playing this modpack btw, having a great time

[smoky gate]

Ive not been working a lot on it recently but i will start workint on it again

[brittle pollen]

I accidentally updated all of my mods and now the game crashes

Whoops

Not sure what to do

@smoky gate any help?

[smoky gate]

Redownload the modpack withg the old bersions

[brittle pollen]

I did, I also ran through and updated everything one by one

Patchouli and Create really didn't like getting updated

The rest caused no problems though

[smoky gate]

Create addons also shouldnt be updated

[smoky gate]

More progress will be done once Firmalife, Immersive Petroleum and couple of other mods are updated and works in 1.20.1.
So it's not dead, but I need these mods to be sure what I'm doing.

Also this small break will just help me from just being burnt out. I've been working on this non stop since 2 years, lol.

[smoky gate]

@brittle pollen Add this to bring back the vanilla TFC logs:

[brittle pollen]

Thank you!!

It doesn't seem to work

[smoky gate]

why the fuck?

wait

@brittle pollen Fixed it

[brittle pollen]

Thanks!

[smoky gate]

Tell me if it doesn't work

@brittle pollen did you add any mod btw

you seem to play on controller

[brittle pollen]

Yes

[smoky gate]

what did you add

[brittle pollen]

The controller mod or all the mods i added?

[smoky gate]

I mean what you think should be in the pack.

[brittle pollen]

I like firmalife and barrels 2012, those just got ported to 1.20

[smoky gate]

No crash?

[brittle pollen]

No

They've been fine since i've been playing with them

Also, even after reloading, the logs still don't seem to work

[smoky gate]

With the new version?

So that means that most likely kubejs is overriding everything

[brittle pollen]

I think they all have been updated. Let me check

I need to update firmalife from beta 2.0.0 to beta 2.0.2, terrafirmacraft and barrels 2012 are up to date

I will try with updated firmalife

[smoky gate]

If you want 2D logs go to this, and delete the folders I selected.

[brittle pollen]

It still works

[smoky gate]

👍

[brittle pollen]

Thank you

[pliant coral]

so it was some sort of turtle

[smoky gate]

Its a common snapping turtle

[brittle pollen]

How do I fix the missing particle textures when digging ore deposits?

[smoky gate]

This is a TFC issue, I will wait until they fix on their end.

[brittle pollen]

alright, thanks

[brittle pollen]

I can't find anyone else talking about it, are you sure?

Someone here told me before that the texture wasn't missing for them

[smoky gate]

Its on tfc bug tracker

[brittle pollen]

There's a TFC bug tracker?

[smoky gate]

https://github.com/TerraFirmaCraft/TerraFirmaCraft/issues

[brittle pollen]

Wow, thanks

[vital moss]

hi, im trying to install this on curseforge luancher. does anyone know how to get it working?

[smoky gate]

What version are you trying to install?

TFC voltworks 1.18 or the new 1.20 version?

[vital moss]

i guess the latest version?

[vital moss]

so 1.20

@smoky gate hello?

[smoky gate]

Yes so to install the pack you can use pakku.

I will make a tutorial soon but its like 2 am for me.

[smoky gate]

Sorry for delay of reply, i will send you a working version in 8 hours when i will be able to do so

[vital moss]

does anyone know what mc version & forge version the latest version needs?

[vital moss]

iv try to install the modpack from the github but its saying it is missing mods?

[vital moss]

ok so i got mixed up

cuase i didnt see any link on the pin message i search the modpack and found your github so i was trying to install with that.

after scrolling i found the link for the alpha

you should probally pin that link for people who want to test/play it

[smoky gate]

What alpha ?

[obtuse swallow]

This pack looks sick, nice job integrating it into TFC

[smoky gate]

Thanks, a 1.20 version is in the works so stay tuned

I will be cooperating with another pack dev

[vital moss]

this one

[smoky gate]

I will send a updated version soon

[vital moss]

so should i wait for that or is it fine to start playing with the alpha?

[smoky gate]

Most likely fine, just remember to save your world when you will update

[smoky gate]

@vital moss Download is pinned on the channel

You can now play it if you want.

[brittle pollen]

Okay i'm ready to see if the configs work

Sorry for the wait

Very busy recently

got a kubejs error when starting the instance for the first time

this is before moving any configs btw

[smoky gate]

Im on phone but will try to fix that wait

[smoky gate]

Uh

Wait a bit

[smoky gate]

I can't reproduce... weird

@brittle pollen Just launched the game without problems..

[brittle pollen]

Hm, maybe it's the prism launcher version. I might have to update

I'll try that soon

Also, I'm playing on Arch Linux, not sure if that has anything to do with it

[smoky gate]

can you go in vc and screenshare your files? so i can try to find the issue?

or just send your instance

i might have a idea, but its very specific issue

Take this exact .zip instance:

[brittle pollen]

Uhhh I don't know if I can screenshare on steam deck but I can send the instance

Here

What it didn't send

Thanks iphone

[smoky gate]

Yeah

[smoky gate]

You play on steam deck ? Wyf

[brittle pollen]

I thought I told you a while ago

[smoky gate]

Minecraft with mods works on steam deci ?

[brittle pollen]

Yeah

[smoky gate]

So the error you get is something due to my function but i cant reproduce it

Also seems incomplete

Like log

Is incomplete

[brittle pollen]

Okay give me a few minutes I'll relaunch it and give you the whole log

it's more convenient just to upload the log like this

https://mclo.gs/GauMRRa

[smoky gate]

Can you send your content of remove_and_hide.js in kubejs/startup_scripts

[brittle pollen]

okay

[smoky gate]

try again

launch your game

[brittle pollen]

I launched it again

Same result

[smoky gate]

No but like right NOW

[brittle pollen]

Okay

[smoky gate]

i just updated

if it doesn't works i will do something else

[brittle pollen]

It works now, thank you

I'll try using my custom configs now

[smoky gate]

Really ? lol

well this was a stupid ass fix

[brittle pollen]

Yeah, it doesn't show the error anymore, it goes to the menu properly

[smoky gate]

I don't know why it happens to you and not me... but at least it works now

[brittle pollen]

Is there a way to stop it from downloading disabled mods?

Such as gravestones, mouse tweaks, e4mc

And embeddium+, because I prefer the options from regular embeddium & rubidium extra instead of rubidium+'s options

[smoky gate]

Can you tell me the mod you added?

[smoky gate]

so do you want to remobe embeddium+ or rubidium+ options?

[brittle pollen]

BetterF3, Better Brightness Slider, Corpse, Canary, Controllable, Framework, Configurable, Barrels 2012, Curios API, Dynamic Lights, Textrue's Embeddium Option, Rubidium Extra, and some other mods that I have to double check

[smoky gate]

I will be adding those.

[brittle pollen]

You don't need to

I can use them already, they are enabled

But I want to disable some other mods

[smoky gate]

ah i understood you couldn't use any external mods.

if you want i can remove gravestone and replace it with corpse

actually a good idea tbh

[brittle pollen]

I would just like to be able to disable mods myself if that is possible. You can implement support so that mods that are disabled in prism launcher won't be redownloaded automatically, right?

[smoky gate]

That is not possible because it cant know what mods is removed intentionally and what needs to be updated

because if i added that it would sometimes makes mods duplicate

also its not me who made the tools lol

[brittle pollen]

Oh

So you can't make automatic updating toggleable?

[smoky gate]

Even if you don't update on every launch, every time you do update it would override all of this

[brittle pollen]

I can handle that

It's only every once in a while

I will check every few days

This is the way I prefer

[smoky gate]

I'm going to add some of your mods because some of these could legit be on the base pack.

if you want to stop updating, go in your instances settings, then on pre-launch commands I think and remove just remove what's written there @brittle pollen

[brittle pollen]

Ohhhh

Okay

[smoky gate]

remove what's i highlighted

[brittle pollen]

I will keep it written down on a text tool the next time I want to update

[smoky gate]

actually i dont think you need to remove what's written there

can you try to just uncheck the thing above

[brittle pollen]

Yeah i just realized that lol

[smoky gate]

and you can probably just reclick on it when you want an update

[brittle pollen]

That's good, thank you so much

I will check to see if my configs were overriden

[smoky gate]

i removed gravestone and used corpse instead

and i will add most of your mods

well

the one I think are good

[brittle pollen]

Don't worry about it, only do it if you like them

Yeah

[smoky gate]

also I'm pretty sure I already have dynamic lights ?

[brittle pollen]

I have a specific playstyle

[brittle pollen]

I forgot if you already added it to your pack

[smoky gate]

I did

I will add barrels 2012

and controllable

[brittle pollen]

They were not :)

[smoky gate]

Some of your configs could be added in the base pack

depends what you changed

[brittle pollen]

I don't know how many people use controllers for minecraft java

[smoky gate]

Adding the mod is still a nice accessibility feature, it will still work for people that don't use a controller.

controllable is pretty well made.

[brittle pollen]

If that's the case, then I will try polishing configs before i send any to you (like with what items dynamic lights recognizes)

But most mod config changes are only affecting my controller and gui (the steam deck has a small screen)

[smoky gate]

Most of your config should be welcome, unless it makes the game unplayable lol

[smoky gate]

For the options, these will have default but only will be set on first launch

so these won't be ever be overriden

didn't do it yet though

[smoky gate]

Only mods I won't add:

• Better Brightness Slider: This seems to be op and remove the point of torches, but considering its very easy to have infinite gamma even without it, I don't know.
• Canary: Didn't do enough testing to know how much it break the game
• Configurable: Causes weird issues, but I'm not sure if it even do anymore.

@brittle pollen So I'm thinking of making something that could help you

a mods-added and mods-deleted folder where you can add the mods you deleted and added

uh

maybe a gui

that ask you

"do you want to update the pack?"

[brittle pollen]

I downloaded better brightness when I was still looking for a dynamic lights mod. It does help when I'm playing my steam deck in sunlight though.

I just use canary because I heard it's a good optimization mod. It doesn't cause any issues for me. I just enable it because it doesn't hurt

Configurable isn't very useful for most mods, because it doesn't recognize most of the config files for many mods, so I have to change the configs manually anyways. I just have it installed just in case, but it probably doesn't make any practical difference either way.

[brittle pollen]

I think that would be a lot more friendly to players who don't know that you can disable it by unchecking "custom commands"

I like that idea

[smoky gate]

A gui that tells you
"Do you want to sync the pack to the updated version?"
[Yes] [No] [Always] [Never]

I would just need to code a entirely need program lol

[tidal wolf]

can i install the zip in curseforge?

[smoky gate]

No but i can make an instance for you if you want

[tidal wolf]

i used the prism launcher to make a curseforge zip

btw when are the quests gonna be released?

[smoky gate]

Very soon, i can make them today if you want

[tidal wolf]

that would be great thank u!

[tidal wolf]

in what timezone are u in? so i know if today for you mean tomorrow for me 😅 😂

[smoky gate]

Its 11:39 for me

[tidal wolf]

oh ok

[smoky gate]

@tidal wolf The quests are here but I'm having some issues with the questm od

[indigo bay]

Is this singleplayer-only modpack, or I can try to install it on the server?

[lavish lotus]

it works on servers

ive been using it

its really nice

[smoky gate]

You have a server with my pack? thaT's cool

[lavish lotus]

yea its just between a few of my friends

but its been extremely fun so far

[smoky gate]

@lavish lotus are you using packwiz?

[lavish lotus]

nope

ive been building it with multi mc

[smoky gate]

Packwiz works with multimc

[lavish lotus]

i understand though its a lot easier for me to build it whenever necessary and then distribute it to my friends

thank you regardless the pack is very well done

great selection of mods

happy new year

actually

now that i think about it

does importing the empty installation zip into multi mc use packwiz?

if so then i think i might have been using it unknowingly

since what im doing is loading that into multimc then copying the files and sending them to my friends along with any additions

[smoky gate]

Its far from finished but im glad you enjoy ehat i did

[smoky gate]

Go in the pinned messages, if you import the instance i sent on multimc, everytime you launch the game it will be updated on every launch

You can do the same on server

Will make the task much easier

Updating will be automatic

[deft fog]

is there a version usable with forge?

[smoky gate]

Installation:

📩 Download for 1.20

The instance works in MultiMC, PolyMC and PrismMC, to add it simply click on 'Add Instance', then 'Import from .zip' and choose the downloaded .zip file.

[deft fog]

is that a no?

[smoky gate]

the modpack is made with forge?

[deft fog]

I was gonna use this for the create compatabillity, but I just installed wooden cog. that should work

[brittle pollen]

@smoky gate chests look fine to me

Also my fps got butchered to high hell when I downloaded all those mods

Huge lag spikes going from 60 to 30

I'm going to disable some

A lot of my configs got changed too

Ugh

My custom configuration for xaero's i spent so much time on

[smoky gate]

Avoid deleting

can cause issues

but i dont think i added much

i just updated lot of shit

added the shader mod

[smoky gate]

send it to me so i can add it to the pack

@brittle pollen

[brittle pollen]

Huh

I'm not sending it because I don't want to affect other people's gameplay with my custom configurations. I'm particular about how I configure my settings, and I'm also playing on a steam deck with a smaller screen and lower specs than a PC, so those settings would just get in the way for everyone else. If I were to give my custom configurations for everyone else to use by default, I would at the bare minimum want to polish it first by playing on a computer for a while

I'm just going to backup my configs next time before updating

[smoky gate]

@brittle pollen what changes did you make to xaero

[brittle pollen]

I changed the map colors to vanilla instead of accurate, I disabled lighting, I moved the minimap to the bottom left, but most importantly I made more categories for minimap entities and changed the dot colors around

[smoky gate]

thats cool, i dont think it really hurt the experience of others

@brittle pollen my question was to know if the in-inventory model of chest was buggued

can you tell me if it shows as normal or not

[brittle pollen]

Here

Is that okay?

[smoky gate]

i mean how does the chest render when you pick it up

or in jei

when you search chest

[brittle pollen]

Oh

I'll check later, I already shut down my steam deck and it's late and I'm tired

I'm sorry

[smoky gate]

i dont even know what is a steam deck but its cool

[brittle pollen]

It's basically a portable handheld PC that's pretty much a nintendo switch on steroids except it's not a console and it's literally just a pc

[smoky gate]

so a nintendo switch but not bad

seems interesting

[brittle pollen]

Yes

Exactly

[smoky gate]

always hated consoles but a steam deck seems to be good

[brittle pollen]

It's revolutionary

It has really good specs for $400 too

Valve is literally selling them at a massive monetary loss because they have such a huge library of games (steam) that'll make up for the lost revenue

[smoky gate]

oh its valve shit thats why its called steam

[brittle pollen]

But you can use it without ever playing steam games

[smoky gate]

i love valve tbh

love all their game

[brittle pollen]

Cause like i said it's just a pc with custom arch linux installed

They give you almost full access to it. You can easily bypass the "almost" part too by typing in some commands in the console

And it has a super in-depth customizable controller configuration menu

It was made with both no-controller-support steam games and non-steam games in mind

The majority of games that don't have controller support can be played on steam deck by making custom controller configurations

[plush breach]

hey want to try out your modpack, but I seem to be getting alot of JEI error crashes. I'll attach one

[smoky gate]

can you tell me the context where that cras happened?

[plush breach]

hitting U on raw fish, or clicking dirt in the jei window

to see where it is used

i just started and this similar crash happened 5 times, also when I left clicked the firestarter in the quest log, which I assume should open JEI with uses

[smoky gate]

It seems to be for what I read an issue with the quests, does it ever happens outside of the quest menu?

[plush breach]

yes

[smoky gate]

on what items does it occur? only on fish? or seemingly random items?

[plush breach]

seemingly random, I will test more a little later, so far fish and dirt and the firestarter

cooked fish as well using R to find how its made

it seems like everything is causing a crash

anytime I try to look up how its made in JEI

or how its used

[brittle pollen]

Logs?

[plush breach]

i posted one earlier here is one I click on a stick in the JEI window

[smoky gate]

I really, for some, reason can't reproduce this crash, unless I did something recently.

Let me test that in creative.

[plush breach]

i just got the pack with MultiMC maybe I got a bad version of JEI? Ill try reinstalling it

[smoky gate]

i will try on my end to see if i can reproduce

[plush breach]

well i reinstalled it and JEI seems to function now. I'll keep updated if I run into same problem

[smoky gate]

thats a weird ass issue, im happy if it works now.

[plush breach]

thanks for responding, I really hope to enjoy the pack 😀

[smoky gate]

btw since you are playing, can you search "chest" in JEI and tell me if they show the vanilla texture of normal tfc chest model?

[smoky gate]

pack is far from finished, so keep in mind its far from the finished look lol

[plush breach]

welp its happening again

maybe after finishing a few of the quests it borks JEI?

[smoky gate]

i will try to tell you that

because the quest mod is broken in many ways

tho didnt know it could break that much

[plush breach]

yea after clicking the check on the stone tools quest JEI no longer functions

[smoky gate]

i can indeed tell you i can reproduce this issue, i would recommend not using the quest mod for the moment

[plush breach]

yay glad I could get to the bottom of this, also yes the textures for chests are default MC

in JEI

[smoky gate]

thats a mess, i really dont know why all these weird problems keep happening, the chests worked fine recently uh

@plush breach I may have fixed the crash, relaunch your game and it should update everything.

Tell me if the problem occur again.

[plush breach]

that seems to have fixed it for now, thanks.

[smoky gate]

was a simple fix, let me know if you have any future problems!

[smoky thistle]

Hi, have any1 tried to set up a server on this modpack? I wanna play with friends so might use some tips fo example how much ram does server needs or which mods aren't needed on server

[smoky gate]

so I can set this up soon but basically ideally, all the mods will be installed and you wont have to delete any mods manually.

[plush breach]

yea there doesn't seem to be much integration implemented, I realized there is no way to start Create. I'll probly wait till the pack is more fleshed out

[smoky gate]

It's intended to not be avalaible for the moment, I will tell you when its finished enough.

@plush breach If you want to tho, the 1.18 version has complete compatibility with create

[plush breach]

the whole reason I started was to mess around with 1.20 version of TFC, thanks though. If you need something tested I don't mind

[smoky gate]

No it's fine, I completely understand that the pack is not finished because of lack of time, I need to lot of work to do proper compat.
Thanks for trying it out tho lol, even if its currently not a good pack.

[smoky gate]

chest model is fixed

[rustic shell]

are you still working on this project???

also where is the download @smoky gate

nvm found the download but question still remains

also nvm the modpack is broken

it is not launching, and crashes, but gives no log so idk what to do

i found this though

[smoky gate]

Modpack hasn't been worked on for a big while

[rustic shell]

ah okay

[smoky gate]

I'd suggest playing something else, this modpack is not great in its state.

[rustic shell]

ah alr

is it being discontinued?

[smoky gate]

I think it will be great once its finished but currently its on "stale".

[smoky gate]

Not sure yet, the pack is nice but I have almost no motivation to play Minecraft.

another problem with the lack of motivation

My pc is kind of shit

and developing is is hard with only 8GB of ram

like I can't open the game + VS Code

sometimes my entire pc freeze because of big modpacks

yeah

[tawny iron]

may i pick up where you left off?

[ancient wyvern]

I didn't quite understand how to install this build? Is it possible to download all the resources for it somewhere, and not the installation archive for the licensed launcher? I don't play on a license

[smoky gate]

What launcher do you use? Just know I never finished this project so I can't recommend playing it in its current state

[ancient wyvern]

Tlauncher

[keen yew]

😬 we don't allow help with tlauncher or anything that breaks tos

please don't discuss it and read the rules

[lost haven]

What is this?

Seems interesting

[ancient wyvern]

lol, ok)

[tawny iron]

i got the pack dev to come back slightly keep eyes out

[smoky gate]

keep looking for updates

considering i may send something about the pack here

[tawny iron]

Hope so XD

[warped raptor]

this pack actually looks pretty fun

[eager olive]

What version is this

[smoky gate]

Both 1.18 and 1.20

The 1.18 version being the playable one

[eager olive]

ok

is it on any of the modding platforms like curseforge or modrinth or is it on multimc and the likes

[warped raptor]

https://github.com/PufferTeam/TFCVoltworks-1.18/archive/refs/heads/main.zip

[eager olive]

ok

thanks

[smoky gate]

No.

You can import into multimc.

but there no public page yet

[eager olive]

ok

[quasi pollen]

So the 1.20 version isn't finished?

[smoky gate]

It has barely anything in it.

[quasi pollen]

Aha 🙂

I am honestly just looking for a pack with TFC + most of its add-ons for 1.20

[smoky gate]

Well I guess this pack does that but then it doesn't offer anything unique.
You can probably look for any different pack and it'll do that.
I'm trying to build something more unique.

[quasi pollen]

I'll be interested to see what it becomes when it gets closer to finished!
