Fatal was on earlier today. Through the discussions with the players it turns out we *may* end up having to start from fresh. Fatal said the new site was almost up along with new forums but I think this issue deserves to be talked about starting now. From what I understand, here is an outline of the situation: - We all want to play the updated version of Pixelmon
- The updated version requires an update to Minecraft itself from 1.47 --> 1.5+
- Fatal believes all the mods we currently use except for RedPower 2 are ready for the update
- Fatal also doesn't want to wait until RP2 is updated or believes it wont even be updated
- Not using RP2 would leave us without marble or basalt, and without a lot of machines. Large parts of the current world would be missing without it.
- Fatal proposes a "fresh start" but says in the end, that kinda thing may be up to the players?
- *commence operation PIT OF DISPAIR *
I'd like to know for sure that RedPower 2 won't be updated, to me it looks like on her blog at least she is making some progress with consideration to update 1.5 ... ? Other than that I'm willing to keep playing on this server with a new "start", I evolved my Evee late anyway and Umbreon didn't learn some moves I wanted him to... |

I'd agree with this mainly because I haven't been on for a month because of stupid forge not working and corrupted chunks :/

I can't find that Buildcraft is updated to 1.5 either honestly... but maybe Fatal has access to some beta versions or something...

I noticed that Buildcraft is indeed updated to 1.5.1.. however Redpower 2 has not bee updated since December. I understand that we'd lose our progress with what we have now, but we will get a fresh start with everything, PLUS that we won't have to worry about non-updating mods in the future after all this is over.

I wouldn't propose a upgrade yet personally...a few reasons.....
First: There really were no major adds to 2.1.0(or 2.1.1) so a few days more isn't bad.....granted do hear you Garchomp
2nd: (personally) Redpower 2 was the major thing that got me to want to join the server
3rd: and about corrupted chunks.....I haven't seen any confirmed ones yet....
Sure it might be a nice but I would feel its Naked without RP2

Granted, it will feel quite strange for people who have used Redpower and Buildcraft alot. I personally never used them at all and only had a grasp of it since I lived in Skytown. But, hopefully we'll be able to adjust to the new changes.

yeah new changes..... Your boss downsizing unemployed guess that an extremest view.....XD I do not like the idea personally...YOU JUST WANT YOUR FLAAFY IS IT!.....hmm....Given the Pixelmon Modders do seem to rush their work I still think a few more days is reasonable for a mod that would break the world as Dave saw..... |

I'm quite fine with the changes, although It'll be hard to get back into it after losing everything.. But then again, you won't be the only one dealing with it. Plus I'm wondering what it'll be like this time when everyone has new pokemon teams, gyms, etc etc.

I could care less about loosing everything.....as I didn't say but did kinda say 2.0, 2.1 were both rushed and caused servers and i am sure SSP headaches...
even 1.9 from what i seem to have found out was not exactly any good for SSP or SMP.....I do wonder what other bugs that their non-testing team aren't finding....
"Yes Mr. M 2.1.0 is so brilliant and no need to change....I am standing ian world that loaded up fine"
2 days later
"2.1.1 made cause things were missed"
it has been a theme....

Well, that's sorta like saying Mojang has the same issue too. Cause 1.5 came out recently and it wasn't too long ago that 1.5.1 was put in because they forgot some bugs. But I understand what you're saying though. Lots of bugs need fixing. Like how the Pokemon HUD is disabled if you teleport to the Nether and a wild pokemon challenges you as soon as you finish the warp.

LOL yeah you could say that and you would be right....they are always breaking their own which if we look at MC they give out snapshots but then are known to change code midflight.....
Haven't found any info from any sources though that actually say 'they don't believe it will be updating'
There are things though I know on the side that makes me feel strong though that destroying the map 'right now' I really don't think is a brilliant Idea but ay its not anyone of ours server.....he can do what he wants....A temp/perm map till we know for s ure RP2 wasn't going to be updated would be a nicer approach

I probably should have asked him if he planned to save this map just in case Redpower 2 did in fact update itself. Maybe they aren't updating the mod. Or maybe it's quite a large mod and they are adding alot of stuff to it for 1.5.1, I honestly don't know. I know he did say he will wait 6 months for the mod to update, so maybe he is saving the old map for later then.

lol will wait...i think 6 months is a bit extreme...and it is a very large mod and it actually is one of the few mods that when removed from a while destroys it....
Most others don't have quite the Builder Perspective in Mind.....not IC, Not Buildcraft, not EE3, and Pixelmon compared to a fair few is a very small mod....Buildcraft did finally update i think i twas yesterday... Some mods just have tons of code to go through... she may even be testing it XD granted she did fail with computers last run lol....perhaps my statment or possible statment from others got her to notice it.....anyways....
But it does sound expected it and many other mods that aren't finished updating yet are on the way.......The FTB beta server is waiting on all of them XD...and it isn't like if one isn't updated none of them are released....just not ready to join the server....MC version changes cause much chaos after all

Well.. I should have read the tweets Eloraam sent out. They did comment about a port to 1.5 so.. maybe Redpower may recieve a port for 1.5.1.
"Back on RP full-time now. Lots of surprises coming, but first, I'll likely be releasing a new bugfix for 1.4.6 and a port to 1.5." - Eloraam
Now, this was 6 weeks ago but still. Perhaps this should be told to the rest of the server just in case. Maybe Fatal will see it and wait a bit longer so Redpower can be booted over to 1.5.1.
