I learned my lesson about creative while I was running my first server too. I never give anyone creative rights ever anymore, and I don't even op myself unless I'll be away from home for a while. Last time I gave someone creative mode a village turned into a crater all the way to bedrock lol.
I prefer FTB, and the latest Horizons pack hasn't given me any issues. I want to run this based on what people want though, not what I want, so if the majority wants to play vanilla, I'll do that.
Looks like people went with the Monster pack in the poll thread. There's just one or two personal favorites missing from that pack, but it's a simple matter to have them added. I'll make a zip file for y'all so that it's just a matter of dragging and dropping. While I work on getting it set up, y'all can send me a PM to be added to the whitelist. That way we're all good to go as soon as it's up
The server is live! Get the setup stuff here. <-- Not Optional
I don't know how much I can play today. It being the first day, there's likely issues I am unaware of. Or maybe I got lucky. Either way, please post any issues you find in this thread, as I may not be on to experience bugs myself.
Send me a PM to be whitelisted. The server address is included in the setup file. Have fun guys
One more thing. Currently Monster is on version 1.0.1. There's a chance it may update to 1.0.2 very soon, possibly even today. There will be a small bit of downtime to get the server upgraded to 1.0.2, but I am aware that it's coming. Remember that Monster is in Beta, and the world is subject to being reset between now and the final release.
Connection Lost!
Internal exception: java.net.SocketTimeoutException: Read timed out
edit...
Seeing "Cannot reach server" but was able to get back in again, only to get booted again. Was able to mine 1 block, but subsequent blocks would mine and not go into inventory, then the server would disconnect me.
For the most part those issues seem to be fixed. I'll be gone this weekend, but I set up a batch file that will automatically restart the server in the event of a crash (we've been lucky so far!). I won't be able to update the whitelist until I'm home.
Sorry about that, I was toning down one of the really OP mods last night. In the process I accidentally messed with the vanilla bow. Should be good to go now! If not, I can't do any more until I get home.
Edit: Actually, if it doesn't work I know of a temporary workaround that requires a minute or two of work client side. Let me know!
I see two issues. First, it appears that you're downloading the direwolf20 pack, when you should be using Monster. Second, it said you're out of memory. Make sure you have 64 bit java installed, and give FTB at least 4GB of memory in the settings tab in the launcher.
What I don't understand is that I'm not manually downloading direwolf20 pack. It just downloads when I click launch from the FTB launcher. Yeah I did see that I was using 32bit java, just downloaded it and gave ftb more memory, but the slider only goes to 1.75gb (which the slider is max to the right). Does that mean I am unable to play?
Edit: my computer properties says I have 2gb of ram memory installed.
Edit 2: where can you download the FTB monster pack? http://feed-the-beast.com/mod-packs
If you only have 2gb of memory installed, you may want to consider installing more. It's not enough to run a FTB modpack, much less do much art or coding.
it's 4gb (2 2gb) of ram. Do you think that would be enough to run ftb monster? I'm assuming that it would allow me to give ftb launcher a bit less than 4 gb as max.
Mine was stuck at that point, right after loading the language packs. I restarted and it's working, but it took a few tries. It has been a pretty common problem recently it seems like.
The server is running, I'll check it out.
Edit: Everything looks good from my end, maybe give it another shot? Let me know how it goes.
Btw, lookout whenever you go outside. Those mobs are some real bitches sometimes. There is some who got a fishing pole, and you might think, thats not bad...not until the fucker hook you and throw you 20 blocks in the air.
I had a bit of lag yesterday, so I kept dying, trying to recover my stuff, so watch out.
Are the ones with the fishing pole unfairly strong? I can disable them if I need to. I like challenge, but that sounds like if they get you once you're dead.
No, it seems to be randomly how they work, usually they just try to pull you close to them, it might be because I was rubberbanding that I ended up in the air.
Actually the fuckers I REALLY don't like is those baby zombies running around with swords...fuckers fast and kills you out of nowhere, and since they don't burn in sunlight, they don't go away. I ended up luring it close to a hole and then close it in there.
Think we need more opinions then just mine right now, as I'm a bitter, pissed off m-crafter at the moment. Though something I would like disabled, is mobs breaking all the torches they can reach.
Btw, just a hint to anyone who wants a safe home, press F7 is a must! It shows if the lightlevel is low enough to spawn mobs around you with red and yellow X's. Use it! Or you might end up with a creeper sneaking up on you and go "Shhhhhhh-YOU FUCKED, SUCKEEEER! BOOOOOM".
When I had that error, I ended up choosing a new location to install a fresh installation, and then (following the text file) installed the files, and that worked.

I am following the steps, but when I hit launch (to download the mods) it gives me an error and closes out. Does anyone know what to do? Thank you.
Edit: I'm on step 2 specifically when this happens.
Edit: my computer properties says I have 2gb of ram memory installed.
Edit 2: where can you download the FTB monster pack?
http://feed-the-beast.com/mod-packs
their website doesn't list ftb monster pack..
Edit:
I just bought this:
http://www.crucial.com/store/mpartspecs.aspx?mtbpoid=AFB70E59A5CA7304
it's 4gb (2 2gb) of ram. Do you think that would be enough to run ftb monster? I'm assuming that it would allow me to give ftb launcher a bit less than 4 gb as max.

Edit: apparently a lot of people are having this issue.

If so it says "cannot reach server" for me.
Edit:
Ah ok, I see it now, thanks.

Also earlier today I was getting very slow server updates, glitchy blocks, disconnects.
Whitelisting still works with usernames.
Get the setup here.

oops nvm, re-read the instructions. :poly127:

Kidding. I had no idea the special mobs mod did that... Fixing that as soon as I get home!

I never received a pm, but I added you a while back.
