Heyo I'm back too! Its unfortunate that I was never really able to get on the server because of just raw lag. I am getting a new computer soon so WOOOHOOO!!! I'll finally get a decent fps on modded minecraft! And I can get into modding full swing. Cant wait for the reset. And as for mods…. please. I know this has been rejected a lot of times but…. Drop the freaking hunger overhaul. Please. And as much as I hate to do it, ATG needs to go. It seems to be a lot of mountains. and thats it. ALL mountains. Everytime I use that mod it's mountains. I miss having all of the simple plains and deserts, and having large oceans (though most people would disagree with me there), and last I checked (mind you a long time ago so don't hate if its been fixed) it has a hard time generating mod structures, and villages too. So yeah! Look forward to playing with y'all!
As much as I doubt the former is going to happen, I agree on both fronts.
Thanks in part to my housing choice, but also due to the mod's SSSUUUUUPPPPPEERRRR SSSSLLLLOOOOOWWWWW MOOOO crops, I couldn't do ANYTHING, as most mods we have require exploration. Exploration = Activity, Activity - Food = Death, etc.
ATG... Yeah. I agree on all fronts, even the oceans. I liked large oceans. Large oceans, as annoying as they may be to some, make perfect sense in reality when taking into consideration a Minecraft world's possible size. Not to mention, I've been tempted to make a huge underwater city/complex in the literal middle of nowhere on the bottom of an ocean. Not to mention the non-mentioning, I never even see good lakes anymore, it's ALL LAND. Oh, and the lack of biome diversity. All you get are forestlike, plainslike, and snowy biomes. Bleh.... And I like Minecraft's default rivers.
Haven't really been on much lately, I've been playing other games and busy with the beginning of the semester. I have no real preference of hunger overhaul, its irritating to begin with but I managed to get good food later so it wasn't a problem. I'm mixed about ATG. I do enjoy the mountains and the continuous terrain (no snow/desert/jungle borders anymore lol) but it removes some of the really cool terrain feature you would normally see in specific biomes (ie BOP rainforests normally have really cool cliffs). ATG also generates insane amounts of lag for terrain generation. Even when I allocate 8GB of ram my computer with a 3.4 GHz intel processer has lag problems with gen. It also seems to overall reduce performance even once the terrain is generated for some reason or another. Personally I'd vote to remove it. As for other mods there are some really cool Thaumcraft http://www.minecraft...mcraft-4-addon/ as well as some others. But I vote no to TT Kami. Its simply way overpowered.
Also no gravestones, I like the catacombs but not the gravestones.
Edit: Its a long shot but bees are always good..... there are magical ones
Well, this weekend I will do the reset then at some point. Forgive me if I am a bit slow on this though guys, as I have a job opportunity and by the sun and stars I am taking a stab at it. Riot games is considering me for an environmental designer slot, and I am building a relevant portfolio literally as I type this (I have my sketchbook in my lap right now). I'll be spending the next month or so on this, designing in game environments and objects in 3D Max, Maya, and other programs, as well as, doing large area map sketches, ect. My free time has pretty significantly dropped as a result, although I'll try and get it set up for you all.
Wish me luck. I'll post a picture of my first environmental sketch once I am done with it. For those of you familiar with League of Legend's lore, I'm making a map skin of it for Summoner's Rift. I'll show ya more once I'm finished, sort of explain the idea through typing.
Well I wish you good luck. Take all the time you need, personal needs and careers have to come before what you do in your free time. Hope you get the job!

Whoa. Riot Games and LoL? I can see why you're jumping to the job. I wish you the best of luck!
If your free time's going to be severely reduced, why not leave the server responsibilities to q and a few others? I'm sure someone would be glad to help keep the server running it's best and keep it updated, etc. Heck, I would volunteer to help, but I don't think I'd be around often enough. I get distracted by other things too easily. >.>

Sorry i haven't been around lately guys. As i said in my last post, i have been dealing with some health problems.
Anyway, i should be back sometime next week.
I'm back.. kind of.I have the feeling none of you remember me. Only thing stopping me from playing is the last time I came on, it was crashy for my client. So, yeah. If anyone can confirm that the crashiness is cleared up, then... er.. I don't know. I guess just leave a post? (you might have already planned to do this)Sorry if this offends you, mr. person who runs the server.

Oh, hey, it's... you. Long time no... Oh heck, I have no idea who you are, sorry. We've probably never met. Greetings!
I wouldn't suggest playing right now, assuming the server's even online. We(Steel and Q, I have nothing to do with it)'re going to be resetting the server in the (near?) future, and will be removing and inserting a few mods to the pack, tweaking stuff, and updating stuff. Basically if the server is up, anything you do will probably be gone soon.

I am currently very mad, as I fell off a cliff and lost everything... no way to get down from the floating island to collect my stuff ( This was when the portal was not working) Did we get raided? Oh well... going to have to start from scratch. Looking forward to this weekend if the server will be up.

Steel has been very busy lately so i may be updating the pack myself if i can't get in contact with him.

Are you talking about Arcanum? If you are, jump off the edge of the path close to my old house (stone bunker-like building) you should land in (or if your aim's off, close to) a lake. Of course, I think there's no portal to get back up anymore, so you'd have to sort that out.
Sorry for the delay guys. I've been both very sick, and working on my job application. I got the one of the resumes for one of the positions sent in though, so there is that. Anyway, without further ado...
Magipunk 2.1.0.0 update
Map Reset
We are now on a fully new map. If you really want a copy of the old map, make sure you keep a copy of the old Magipunk modlist, and play it on that. Ask Q for the map, as he is the one who has it. We are still using the same download link to grab updates of the modpack for now, we won't be swapping to a new link unless Q takes over full control of the pack. See below for more info on that. I'll be going back sometime today/tomorrow if I don't get too busy and handle whatever invites I need to handle then.
Modlist Changes
ATG and Gravestones removed. Both of these were causing performance issues, and Gravestone also had balance issues/bugs which caused some serious problems at times.
Mods updated
Most mods were updated to the most recent stable versions out. As qqq did this because I was too busy/sick, he would know more than me on this.
Final note - Depending on how things turn out, I could end up dropping server ownership completely. qqq got a taste of what it was like to manage the modpack himself (he now understands why I dislike doing even small updates, let alone big ones), but I'll keep swinging by even if I do end up dropping the pack in exchange for an actual job. I'll be in touch regardless, as I'll stay easily accessible on Dolby like I normally am, just not sure if I'll still have the time to devote to Magipunk in the future. If I do drop the pack, I'll talk to a forum admin about giving qqq the thread ownership so he can keep it up to date easily.
EDIT: Forgot to mention, we swapped Forge Versions as well. Also, DELETE YOUR OLD MODS FOLDER/CONFIGS. We did a full overhaul.
*is already getting prepared to leave the server for an extended period again* Why? Because the cycle continues...

there's AM2.zip and AM2_1.1.2b.zip
Which one should I keep? I'm going to go with the version-numbered one for now. Hopefully that works.
Meh, whatever. I'll fix it next update.
