Old PostSo Tyson gave me this idea, but what do you guys think about potentially making our own modpack instead if using FTB? Making an installer or some sort of easy pack shouldn't be too difficult for me to figure out so I wanted to see if you guys would be interested in this. Some mods i'm considering myself are the following, but post here to tell me what you guys want!
Old List
GregTech
Twilight Forest
Advanced Machines
Buildcraft
Industrialcraft
Portal mods thing
ChickenBone's mod
NEI
Forestry
Factorization
Mystcraft
IronChests
PowerConverters
Thaumcraft
ThermalExpansion

This is just a list at the top of my head, though! Also subject to change and again, you guys tell me what YOU want or if this entire idea is retarded lol

How It's Going To Work

So I figured I should tell you guys how exactly this is going to work. Basically, I've decided to utilize FTB's private pack functionality. That said, the server will be whitelisted and you will have to "apply" by simply posting in an "application thread" of sorts that I will post in the future. Once you do that, I will add your name to the whitelist and give you the code for the private pack to use in the FTB launcher. (Details will be in the application thread)

The reason why we must do this is because many mods require that we distribute the mods in a private pack. Some mods flat out say no to public packs and others will require further permission and whatnot. That said, the simplest way is to actually make a private pack.

The server itself will be running MCPC+. It will primarily be using just Forge mods but will use some Bukkit plugins, primarily for backend management or administrative plugins such as logging. All rules from the main server will still apply and bans will be shared across the two servers.


Currently Considered Mods And Their Statuses

The following are the colorcodes for the status on the modpack's distribution licenses.
GREEEN - Means that this mod is good to go and is allowed to be allowed in modpacks.
ORANGE - Means that I either cannot find anything on modpacks and licenses or that I need to ask the mod author. Either way, it means I need to PM the mod author for whatever reason
RED - Means Nope. Not happening.
PURPLE - Means outdated and cannot be used or is extremely buggy and would not use.
BLACK - Means either it's outdated, I haven't looked it up yet, I think it conflicts with something, is a duplicate, or basically just means "Not going to be included at the moment". Most of these have comments so just read them.



Obviously we can't add all of them so this is just a list of everything suggested for now. We'll start weeding out once we have a solid list and everyone gets their voices in.

I havn't found how yet, but I think there is a way to make custom packs through the ftb launcher. Going to have to do more research.

Also you should consider the following mods:
Bibliocraft
Project Red
Gravitation Suite

And if we want anything Touhou related, obviously Touhou Items Mod and Alice Dolls Mod.

Making a modpack, huh? In that case, you must have some kind of minimap. Also, some kind of youkai mobs mod would be nice, but I doubt there are any good ones.
No whatever, more Reimu!

@Lord_Jacobus1

Well, there is the Touhou Items Mod. It adds Fairies that fire Danmaku at you, and depending on the version, it will have Cirno and Rumia as bosses, and will even allow you to create your own Danmaku. As for the minimap, I would recommend Rei's Minimap. That one's always been my favorite.

Here's the link for it, just to give you an idea on what it does. It explains things better than I do.

@S121 It's very nice, but it says that it can't be in a modpack.
No whatever, more Reimu!

@Lord_Jacobus1

Aww, that's a shame. :(






@Remilia_Scarlet

Really? I've only used Zan's, Rei's, and I believe a couple others. How is the Voxel Pack?

Discussion on Potential YC Modpack

Looks like Rei's fine with modpacks... Don't remember anything about no modpacks on Touhou Items. I'll look again, though.


Edit: voxel pack is pretty nice, though I suppose a large part of that is because there so many mods in one pack.

@Remilia_Scarlet

Maybe it's no Modpacks for the English version? I don't truly know, but it did say no modpacks on the English site. I'm not sure about the Japanese site though, probably says the same thing.

While I'm at it, some kind of mod that adds more explosives. Or would that be too destructive?
No whatever, more Reimu!
