Tried to get into mumble using the details provided but that's not working either.. ..its getting pretty frustrating
Edit: Holy Barnacles batman!! Its working!! No idea how lol.

Lucky you I wish I could get it working I think with all the mucking about I have broken my FTB ...... I will have to wait until my boy gets back from Brissie tomorrow and see if he can fix it for me. All I did was try to install the 2 new things and now nothing works errors is all I get

How far does it get Carm ? We can walk you through it. I'll screenshot my folders and that might help.

When the launcher asks you to update say No. (for the moment)

[Carm]

ok I think I see the probs thanks, Henri you champ you
for some reason my stuff is all in the wrong folders I will change it all around and try again & on the custom mob spawner it has disable beside it for some reason I didn't disable anything hmm also it didn't ask me about update does that mean it has done an update already or something ?? You have lotsa files that I don't have also. I don't think the downgrader tool works on FTB

[DaedalusAlpha]

No the downgrader does not work on FTB. I'd say the easiest thing to do, if you have no maps or stuff of your own, is to simply delete the entire FTB folder. Then you follow the guide on the forum from the beginning to re-install it all again.

[DarkDuck]

When you launch ftb the launcher uptop has an option. Version

if it says recommended change it to 7

[Obsi]

If you're looking for a vacant block in the city - basically look for a lot without any torches or signs of life. Here's a map of the city with the plots marked.

(If I've made a mistake, please let me know)

Yeah it can be pretty fussy with getting the settings right, hopefully you can get it working soon!!

p.s. Just realised the original spot i wanted to go for was next to Obsi's plot lol! Ooops. Current plot has worked out pretty sweet though!

Thanks for all the info here! I did everything on the instructions, but when I try to enter the server, it says that I don't have a huge list of mods that are required to play on the server... anyone know how to resolve this?

[DaedalusAlpha]

You're probably using the wrong version of mindcrack.

In the launcher change the dropdown that says recommended to 7 (you have to reinstall all the mods afterwards as it cleans out that directory, so backing up the mod folder first could save you some time).

Thanks Daed, that gets me much closer. But, now it error's out saying that my Minecraft Jar is version 1.4.7 and the FTB needs 1.4.6.

Shouldn't it have installed the correct version due to my selection of version 7 in the main FTB front page?

Now sure where to go from here.

Thanks,
