Play With Your Buddies / Minecraft Extravaganza! FeedTheBeast / DireWolf20 server
« on: November 02, 2014, 05:31:13 pm »
I have decided to create a community server based on the Direwolf 20 FeedtheBeast modpack , and I can't imagine a more amazing (and eccentric) community to share it with.  :D

To play you will need to download the Direwolf 20 pack from the FeedtheBeast launcher - version 1.01. If you find 1.7.10 to be a little laggy I suggest trying out the FastCraft mod - it can make a big difference. I'm happy to help if you have issues installing anything.

Installed mods:

Rules are simple: no griefing, raiding, stealing, or unwanted player-killing. Don't be a dick. Quarries go in the digger age only. No creating new Mystcraft ages due to the lag this creates - if there's a specific type of age you need I'll see what I can do.

We have a small starting village underway, but you can build anywhere you like. Ideally I'd like to have some really nifty, well-built little towns going. The server is on survival mode, hard difficulty.

The server is whitelisted - just reply with your in-game name here and I will add you. The IP is s40.hosthorde.com:25840

If you're new to heavily modded Minecraft and feeling overwhelmed, you can always check out Direwolf20's Let's Play videos - he's still on episode 1 with this pack, but he is always informative. There are usually tons of video tutorials out there and the FTB Wiki is a great resource.

Hope to see you in game!

EDIT: Removed the additional mods - you can play with just the latest DW20 pack now.

DF Gameplay Questions / Equipping the military
« on: February 12, 2012, 05:32:04 pm »
So I really want to stop using traps so heavily and start getting my armed forces in order. I feel like with enough traps and walls it's practically like god mode... barring bad design choices/HFS/killer FBs.

 I'm not sure I completely understand how equipment works with the military though. As I understand it each dwarf can wear several shields, a shirt, cape, breastplate, etc etc. It seems there's no end to the stuff they can coccoon themselves inside of (or is that only adventure mode?), and I'm at a loss as to what I should actually produce to adequately equip everyone.

So how do you guys normally equip the military? Just make one standard set of armor for each dwarf? Do you manually assign equipment or just say 'metal armor' and let them sort out the rest?

DF Modding / Sprites for each caste
« on: February 04, 2012, 08:50:24 am »
Is it possible to have different sprites for each caste of a creature? I'm trying to create some sprites for a mod I downloaded and can't seem to make it work by caste...

DF Gameplay Questions / Making things bigger
« on: January 19, 2012, 09:38:21 pm »
Is there any way to zoom in further than the mouse wheel allows? I'm aware that the amount of tiles displayed horizontally is limited by your resolution (I'm stuck with 80, le sigh) is there any way around that? Can ASCII be enlarged more than a graphical tileset?

I have recently become obsessed with DF and I'd love it if I didn't have to squint all the time. :P Thanks in advance!
