Sigh, i keep doing missing the simple things.
I kept forgetting to delete the 1.8.1 jar so when i ran the mcpatcher, it copied over the mods.
Its working...
Sorry for the bother, and thanks for the help.

hmm ok, i thought patch was before, cause i remember patching it last before and it clearing out the mods.. but hey, my memory suckssss lol :) thanks i'll give that a try <<edit>> ok, i started over, ran all 4 intalls, closed, then ran mcpatcher. and none of the mods are installed.. game works, but ...

Ok, so i'm trying to install using BTW, Modloader, Forge & TMI... using mcpatcher for HD textures. It was working fine, then I upgraded to the new version of BTW etc. And while running the mcpatcher, i clicked the option for grass.. which was a mistake, now, the grass texture is all messed up, s...

awesome,
as soon as i deleted the minecraft 1.7.3 file, and re ran the patcher, it works with the HD textures.
now i have a better understanding.
thank you for explaining it grimper :)

ah , i didn't realize about the minecraft 1.7.3 file.. will remove that & see what happens,
thank you everyone for your help, it is muchly appreciated,
side note, i realized, it wasn't a black screen I was getting from using it, it was just removing my mods before too.
wish me luck lol

Modloader > Any other mods you have > Forge > Better Than Wolves > MCPatcher um, ok, anytime i tried mcpatcher last, it always gave me the black screen, both versions of btw before 1.94. i did mcpatcher, modloader (which works) then add forge and it fails, add btw and it still fails... as for the q...

I downloaded the new 1.94 version of btw, the newest forge 1.06 ( i believe) and current mod loader.and mcpatcher. Installed mod loader, mcpatcher and works without a problem. As soon as i install forge, it gives me the black screen. The meta is deleted, but not sure why its not working. Any ideas? ...

also, just a heads up, the link Battosay gives is a great list of maps, but not all of them are done & has been discontinued, though it is still available to download. http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/372017-collection-fishkids-custom-flatmaps-over-45-flat-maps/#entry5320329 is still up &...

thats awesome, thanks again Battosay :)

and sry about being off topic lol

i'm not up to installing anything more, but thank you for the other suggestions.

hey,
i'm trying to work on designs and was seeing alot of flat worlds in the videos..
I'm wondering what seed i need to make the world flat...
or is there something else done to make a flat world?

lol i'm using redstone dust & repeaters to extend the signal.. not sure what you mean by redstone candle. regardless of the setting on the repeaters they give a delay, its one of the reasons its difficult to get past 3 levels, by the time the signal from the lower levels hit the top, its already...

ah ok, i'll take another look at it, i figured it was modular too thats why i was confused lol but hey, thats what i get for building it so late lol EDIT: ok, figured it out, had glass beside the top block, so it wouldn't go up, would go to the side. replaced 2 glass blocks at the top with wood &...

i finally got it working, it was the timer on the turntable. I also realized that it will only got 7 high, the 8th block for some reason will not push anything up... I'm using wool in the dispensers but the 8th dispenser will not do anything. Water flowing past picks up all the goods when the 7th on...

makes some sense yes, i was using different logic gates for mine. Will definitely have to try out the flipflop gates :) thanks <EDIT> ok, so it works great, got the flipflop gate & everything connected & working. my only other question, how did you get around the delay caused by the detector...

awesome idea, i've got it working except for 1 minor detail.. no matter what block i use to 'lift' the loot, it doesn't do anything. i've used glass, light block, wool, stone, dirt... all that happens is the items 'disappear' while the block is there, but they're still there when the block disappear...

I just had a quick question about your elevator. I have a working 3 stop elevator, but the delay's made it so i couldn't go further. Your elevator looks like it is much simpler than my design. It looks like you're running the gear boxes from the bottom up, with a gear box at the floor of each level,...

ah, ok, thanks for the info :)
will have to play around now whooo hooo LoL :)

ah ok, any idea of time frames or distance i have to be away..
i've left the room alone for 2 + days game time and gotten nothing ... :(

Ok, i'm not understanding how the mod spawner works... I have a chamber, i was trying to make a mod killing trap that drowned them & swept the resulting items into hoppers... But no matter what i try, i cannot get anything to spawn. I took water away, i took all windows/doors away, it is as dark...

awesome.. thank you for the link :)

how do you download the current version?

ah, k, thanks for the advice :)

New to this wonderful Mod. was wondering where I could download a version of the current castle so I can get a better understanding of how things work. I see things built (ie. on youtube) but can't quite figure things out. for ex. I have a working elevator finally, that will stop at floors I choose ...

thank you for the suggestions. i was going to. but after the last time and having all the btw items disappear, as suggested, possibly because btw was uninstalled. I don't want to risk it lol i've finally got a 9 burner cauldron working via a switch am in the process of trying to figure out a working...

ok, and now theres another problem I ran the patcher. Loaded my game, and it had erased everything that wasn't standard minecraft. I removed the texture pack i was using, and everythings still gone, and whats more, I checked, and none of the items that are not standard are available... Are there onl...
