I'm having some problems with an unknown large number of skeletons having spawned in my basement for some inexplicable reason. I can't kill them. They don't do anything. But they make the game lag whenever I look in their direction (even when I can't see them). They are very near where I used to have a spider Powered Spawner, which may or may not be related (I moved it and turned it off for now). If anyone has any ideas of how to get rid of them, please let me know.

I have no clue what is causing that, I'd say the powered spawner might have something to do with it. Keep it offline to see if those skellingtons still show up.

How come I haven't seen you in the game, by the way?

I'm currently playing on a vanilla server. I'll pop in at some point though.

This is the json data I put into 01_thermalfoundation_ores.json:

	"aluminum": {
            "distribution": "uniform",
            "generator": {
                "block": {
                    "name": "thermalfoundation:ore",
                    "metadata": 4
                },
                "material": "stone",
                "cluster-size": 8
            },
            "cluster-count": 4,
            "min-height": 20,
            "max-height": 50,
            "retrogen": "true",
            "biome": "all",
            "dimension": {
                "restriction": "blacklist",
                "value": [
                    -1,
                    1
                ]
            }
}

I didn't actually checked the log for messages, I'll look now.
Nope, no mention of any retrogenning. I did say something about metadata being ignored and will be replaced by the 'properties' field. None of the other ores in that file use metadata so I replaced it, the file looks like this now:

	"aluminum": {
            "distribution": "uniform",
            "generator": {
                "block": {
                   "name": "thermalfoundation:ore",
                    "properties": {
                    	"type:" "aluminum"
                    }
                },
                "material": "stone",
                "cluster-size": 8
            },
            "cluster-count": 4,
            "min-height": 20,
            "max-height": 50,
            "retrogen": "true",
            "biome": "all",
            "dimension": {
                "restriction": "blacklist",
                "value": [
                    -1,
                    1
                ]
            }
}

File is reuploaded and server rebooted. Will look for a retrogen message now.

in Slight issue with map compiling (hlrad) Post #341931

That error has nothing to do with scripted_sequences or any point entity for that matter.

Vluzacn says this about the error:

This is actually the warning that is called "mixed face contents" in previous versions.
It is often caused by two planes or two vertexes that almost coincode with each other but leave small gaps (less than 0.1 unit). Open the .map file, not the .rmf file, then go to that coordinates, zoom in and see if there are tiny gaps between lines, like in the picture. If there are, remake the brushes in your .rmf file.
If you still can't fix it, try to convert the brushes to func_details, which will eliminate the "ambiguous leafnode content" warning and minimize its consequence (but it won't fix the gap). If what has the "Ambiguous leafnode content" problem is an entity (such as a func_wall), you can also manually add keyvalue "zhlt_detaillevel" "1" and "zhlt_clipnodedetaillevel" "1" to the entity, so that it takes the advantage of detail brushes.

Source

Make sure that when you work with brushes, you have snap-to-grid enabled.

So I did some experimenting with your icon, but whatever I do, the icon is always rotated 180 degrees in the taskbar and I can't figure out why. Maybe it is a Windows or Steam issue.

Also I think having an actual ico file in your mod folder is unnecessary, unless you want a desktop shortcut of your mod. Otherwise a single tga file is all you need.

I did however figure out that if you create two tga versions of your mod icon, one 16x16 file named 'game' and one 32x32 file named 'game_big', or any name for that matter as long as it has the '_big' suffix added to it's filename, Steam will use the 16x16 icon in the library list and the 32x32 file on the game page (when selected).

I'm out of ideas for now, maybe any one else has a solution?

Dang Focalpoint and your oversized icon.

in mod icon Post #341906

The Valve Dev Wiki says your icon must be an uncompressed 24-bit TGA file, 16x16 pixels in size and you must not include the .tga file extention in your liblist.gam file.

What's weird though, the singleplayer mod Half-Life Echoes uses a 32-bit icon file. It also has the same icon but as an actual icon (.ico file) file.
Focal Point has .ico and tga icon files, both are 32x32 pixels and are 32-bit. What.

So it's a little bit unclear what the rules for mod icons are. I've never had my mod icons rotated 180 degrees though. Maybe Paint.net is saving your tga's in a different tga format that Half-Life/Steam can't read correctly. Other than that, I have no clue.

I've used ArchitectureCraft before on 1.7.10, looks like there's a 1.12.2 port available, might be interesting to have as well for those that like building.

What about Extra Utilities 2, OpenBlocks, DarkUtilities, RandomThings?

Does RS offer higher tier storage components above 64k?
With the addon mod Extra Cells 2 for AE2 you get even bigger storage components as well as storage cells for liquids en gas. Does RS have fluid and gas storage cells? If not, then I'd still go for AE2 with Extra Cells 2.

Also definitely want to have SolarFlux, that is some cool stuff. Also Flux Networks for wireless power transfer is very handy to have.

There are some more, but I'm not sure if I'm exceeding the amount of mods we have.

Rimrook is right, mods can make the game interesting again. It is true that most mods have a bit of a learning curve which might scare you, However, there are tons of wiki's out there where you can look up information. I'm also very well experienced with most (but definitely not all) mods, so you can always ask me if you get stuck. I think this is half the fun, exploring and experimenting with the new gameplay features that these mods provide.

I don't know about Factorio, but I've seen screenshots of that game and I'm sure MC mods don't get that complicated.

The goal here is to put together a reasonable small/medium sized modpack that shouldn't take to much system resources.

And for fricks sake, remove your santa hat, Rim, geezz.

There probably is, but there are so many packs available, I don't even bother looking for one. If you find one that suitable, let me know. Otherwise we continue putting together our own little pack.

I'm fine with whatever, if we're going "modded", don't add 500 mods tho xD

I will try to contain myself.

Why don’t we figure out which mods are needed utilities and go from there?

We could do that, certainly there are mods that are mandatory for any modpack. For reference sake, here's a list of mods currency running (a screenshot of the mods folder, can't be bother to type them all out in a fancy list):

And here's a list of mods of my private server:

These screenshots include client side mods.

Maybe we should do a voting system?
How about... 30, 40, 50 mods max?
Should this include utility mods and core/library mods?
Or do we only count mods that provide actual content?
Client side mods don't count toward the maximum number of mods?

Good points, Jessie & Urby.
Have you every played mods, Urby? This might bring something new to your Minecrafting experience.
If we decide to go at it one more time, as long as my server subscription is still going, I want to drastically lower the amount of mods running, to make the game running better on those with less powerful machines. Again, we need to decide on which mods and what kind of mods to choose, like tech, nature, magic, building, etc.

Either that, or we try out vanilla 1.13 or even a 1.14 snapshot (may contain bugs).

Is this still going?

Er... yes? You interested?

Yeah, at first I wanted only a handful of mods, but you know how it goes, I want this mod, this mod and that one and before you know it, you surpassed your initial number of mods.
I guess we could also start over and remove a bunch of mods. This will be tough as there's a lot of good mods out there.

I also just very recently learned that there's a thing called Fabric out there, which is some kind of alternative or perhaps even a successor to Forge. People already made mods for Fabric for 1.14 snapshots! Snapshots I say. I don't even know how that's possible.

I'm fine with Vanilla as well. I don't think there's an OptiFine release for 1.14 snapshots.

I need more people to give me their opinions before I can even do anything.

So I guess modded Minecraft isn't as popular as I was hoping for here at TWHL. So I'm calling it. My server subscription hasn't ended yet, so in a desperate attempt to get the most out of my money, I could switch over to the latest vanilla version of Minecraft, 1.13.2. Or even a 1.14 snapshot version. There some really neat stuff coming to 1.14...

Or not. Then this will be the end of the server.

Suggestions? Ideas?

I considered adding Mekanism, but didn't, there's already too many mods. Adding Mekanism after the fact will most likely cause the worldseed to change, leading to ugly chunk borders:
