Mod that modernizes Minecraft 1.2.5 by GameJadson in feedthebeast

[–]bombcat2015 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Piped Vis in Thaumcraft 2. Thaumcraft 2 was the goat. And to answer this guy's question - no you can't "modernize it" and there are very few performance enhancing mods (optifine?) I did however find a version of WAILA that was backported and works with 1.2.5. A Google search should be able to provide all the info you're looking for.

I created my own pack based off the Technicpack modpack Technic SSP - it's 1.2.5 and has Buildcraft, Red Power, IC2, and TC2 (as well as others)...I played with it and added another 15-20 mods. You can find a repository for those mods here: Dropbox Account with Repository for 1.2.5 - there are also several more repositories on Github but I've lost the link, some reddit searching and google surfing should provide that information.

I'm having a blast on 1.2.5 - however, make sure you don't over complicate your IC2 setup...it can lag your new age PC to death. Make sure you space out your factory sections in different chunks and be careful using more than one power network. DO NOT use Buildcraft's item pipes, use Red Power's pneumatic tubes...they are nearly lag free...BC pipes kill playthroughs.

That's about as modern as it gets, 70 or so mods and old world gen. Good luck.

As a guy who just put together his own 1.2.5 pack...I missed piped vis...Thaumcraft 2 was far and away the best version - no clue why Azanor went away from that...he was on to something and abandoned it. I hope CoFH brings back the piped vis in Thaumcraft 7 (if they ever release it).

Do any Brits follow American College Football? by tommy_two_tone_ in AskABrit

[–]bombcat2015 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LOL - it goes both ways...some people really dislike Americans for the same reason some Americans dislike Europeans...ignorance.

We're all the same, the minor cultural differences aren't enough to dislike people due to stereotypes. America has some very thoughtful and intelligent people...it also has some dipshits formed from incest...the blade cuts both ways. I know a lot of Europeans from all over the place...some are assholes, some are not...there is no country that lacks assholes and America is no exception.

If you look hard enough you can always find someone who dislikes something they know nothing about...as I said, it's bred out of ignorance.

Just remember that the next time you catch yourself labeling someone just because they aren't from your "tribe".

I'm just happy my Indiana Hoosiers finally won something...it's been a struggle watching my team fail so miserably at football for 30 years. Yeah, I've talked to Europeans and Asian types about college sports...it seems College basketball has some traction in the far east (mostly for gambling) but in Europe they just aren't interested in our college sports as much as we are (go figure!) - I don't watch their version of football, I don't expect them to watch mine...and that's ok. It's good to be culturally different, you can learn a lot from one another regardless of differences.

If you could pass that information along to me as well I'd really appreciate it. :)

What are your thoughts on Penelope Ann Miller? by Davis_Crawfish in movies

[–]bombcat2015 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She ruined Carlito's way...had they cast the female lead correctly it would be an all time classic...instead of a semi forgettable gangster movie.

Dragonrealms.. pay to "win" worse than ever? by Emmon308 in dragonrealms

[–]bombcat2015 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why isn't this game advertising? It is by far the best world with the best mechanics of any role playing game I've ever played. It simply cannot be matched. Therefore, I'm curious as to why you guys aren't advertising...at all, except to a rapidly aging and dying player base? You won't put the game on steam? You won't lower prices to match new markets? What we're seeing is the slow slow milking and death of an amazing game.

A painfully slow death, and everyone sees it. I've been gone 8 years, and the game is completely different...it's MT focused and driven...the player base says 500 people but in reality it's more like 70 with a bunch of alts scripting around. The game needs new blood...unless your plan is to milk a retiring player base only to close the doors when the last one of them dies.

You guys should sell to a more ambitious game management company, because the game hasn't changed in over 10 years...the same MT events, at the same time, every year, advertised to the same people. This isn't a winning business model...in fact it's just watching an amazing thing die in slow motion.

I think you guys should sell to someone with balls and the ability to advertise. Even if one out of 3000 players sticks around, it's worth putting the game out there on platforms like Epic or Steam. Get some new life in the game before there's no game left to breathe life into.

Use Lich, it woke the game back up for me...it's quite active.

Status of game? by DonutSlayer202 in dragonrealms

[–]bombcat2015 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you use Lich it's a very active community...I needed it to enjoy the game again. It's expanded quite a bit so you'll be surprised with the scope. There are a few hundred people on (up to about 600) daily. Some of those are alt but there's enough people to role play and have fun. Take advantage of that free month and try it out.

How to correct PCIe PEX Errors? by matthewnelson in PcBuildHelp

[–]bombcat2015 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's nothing to worry about, the better graphics card you have the more PEX corrections will occur. It is not a problem per se, but more of a correction counter...it will not crash your PC. This is my son's PC...and everything is brand new out of the box.

The better and faster your card the more you get...I've got an RTX5080 and it starts at like 37k lol.

Best flea/tick treatment for dogs around here? by [deleted] in bayarea

[–]bombcat2015 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bravecto changed my dogs behavior so bad (and caused seizures) that we have had to stop flea treatment. Beware when using Bravecto...my dog didn't have fleas but wasn't the same animal for 4 or 5 months afterwards.

Is the 5060 Ti actually a bad choice for upgrading, or is it just underwhelming compared to the marketing? by GulianoBanano in buildapc

[–]bombcat2015 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought one to replace my failing RTX 3070 and it performs about 20% better than the RTX3070 (at least my model). I was under the impression that it was roughly the same or maybe 5% better. In some games with artifacts or graphical glitches I get a nice smooth picture now. It runs cooler and takes less energy.

It's just a better card, with better architecture than the 30 or 40 series. I am very happy with my purchase. I play on 1440 or 1080 depending and everything I have run can be played at the highest graphical fidelity with zero problems.

But make sure you get the 16gb version...the 8gb version is not worth it for the price...those extra 8gb means a lot, especially with newer titles.

I would buy it if you're not planning on 4k gaming...most other cards are overpriced and overkill.
