This is the modpack beta testing thread for The Flying Islands Modpack: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=74326

Report bugs in this thread so I can keep track!

How to get Beta 1:
get Bittorent Sync and ask Chrisknyfe for a link to the folder with the modpack
https://www.getsync.com/
inside is the modpack instance zip and a readme with further instructions for installing MultiMC and adding the modpack as a MultiMC instance

Installation Instructions:
1. Install MultiMC from http://multimc.org/
2. Run MultiMC once to generate an "instances" folder inside MultiMC
3. Unzip "Flying Islands Modpack Beta 3.zip" to your MultiMC instances folder.
4. Create a new instance called "FI Modpack Beta 3" for Minecraft 1.7.10
5. Right click your instance and go to "Edit Instance", Version -> Install Forge, get Forge 10.13.4.1448 for 1.7.10
6. "Edit Instance" -> Settings -> Java -> Memory:
Minimum memory allocation: 1024 MB
Maximum memory allocation: 2048 MB
PermGen: 256 MB
7. Copy everything from "MultiMC/instances/Flying Islands Modpack Beta 3/minecraft" to "MultiMC/instances/FI Modpack Beta 3/minecraft"
8. Play the "FI Modpack" instance and enjoy.

Found the first bug of the beta: Better Records' startup menu interferes with MCA's startup menu. I'll include the Better Records config in the Beta 2 pack

Augh, can't even control Better Records' record player with redstone. Sucky.

[Chrisknyfe]

I need to include instructions on how to change the amount of ram allocated to the instance. Done, instructions above.

Also NEI doesn't work on the server. Probably a config issue, I need to investigate. Fixed, it was Thaumic Horizons coremodding all over the place

[Chrisknyfe]

Forgot InvTweaks. We just need that. It's great.

/help command isn't working, wtf? It's because of this: http://minecraft.curseforge.com/mc-mods ... -helpfixer

note to self, set the PerfectSpawn location. I'll make a flying island or something.

[Chrisknyfe]

Nicholas mentioned something about Aether mod's party system crashing. Need to investigate.

[Chrisknyfe]

NEI related crash when going to the Aether or Nether for the first time...

Equipment cubes should be exempt from deconstruction since they're so cheap to load and save.

[Chrisknyfe]

Need to remove spawn protection

Don't have the specific error messages at hand, but the process is repeatable. Forge MicroBlocks cannot be moved properly with World Edit. The blocks disappear and are replaced with unusable spaces that disconnects any player that tries to place something in its place (returning with an Internal Server Error).

A workaround is to fill the unusable blocks with sand, then break the sand.
