Hey guys,

 

I think you all know this scenario: You made a mod pack and some of the mods have been replaced by newer versions.
What will happen? The users see the mod rejection screen.

 

So, here comes my request: Do you think you could create a mod that changes / replaces this screen? Maybe the text could be customizable so you can add a link to a newer pack or just show "Please start the updater"... or something like this.

For a modder it should not be a big deal I think?

What do you think?

Thanks and best

Tom

But the mods *are* loaded at that time, the server just uses another version or has additional mods which the client does not.

 

Example:

The server uses a mod pack v123.4. It contains modxy v11.23

The client uses an older version of that mod pack v123.3, containing modxy v.11.22

 

The user gets the mod rejection screen because of the newer version on the server.

If you now have users that don't have any clue what to do and what that means... you have a problem.
BUT if you can customize that screen, you could just replace the text with "An update is available. Please run the mod pack updater." And you're done.

It's a special scenario so I think if you can customize the text (cfg file for example), everyone would be happy with it.

That would be awesome.
And... uhm... what do you think? Would you do that job?
I don't know how to "request" a mod in the right way (I'm feeling like noob, sorry)... I don't want to get stuff for free. Uhm... so... help me out, please ;-)

    • Here is the end of the log. it was way too big to put in pastebin, but I started from when I was online and everything was fine. Error should be in here: https://pastebin.com/Sdhdq593
    • Update: I stand corrected as I was able to dig up a relevant log from my earlier testing which highlights the overall issue but does not explain how to solve it. See, Diagnostic Logs for pack.mcmeta not found: https://pastebin.com/LXS8Rtna
    • Which mod was this? What are all the mods that were in use? It will help if enough information to replicate the problem is available.
    • I have been attempting to create a supplementary resource pack with Patchouli in order to add back the guidebook for Better End but unfortunately in every prototype I have made pack.mcmeta and my resource pack are not recognized. I have tested both zipped and unzipped and either way curseforge does not recognize my resource pack as existing. For testing I stripped my pack down to just the pack.mcmeta file and two empty folders labelled data and assets and I know the data folder is not the problem as firstly my first attempts just had an assets folder following Patchouli instructions and data came later in my flailing attempts to make anything in my pack work. The mcmeta file is not recognized whether or not I use this:  { "pack": { "pack_format": 15, "description": "A replacement for the BetterEnd Guide Book." } "language": { "en_US": { "name": "English", "region": "United States" } } } ,or this:  { "pack": { "pack_format": 15, "description": "A replacement for the BetterEnd Guide Book." } } I have made sure to only use lowercase and the pack folder is named better-end-guide. Is this some magic nonsense from me doing this manually instead of using an IDE or similar tool? Could it be because my files are by default in UTF-8 even though ANSI gives the same results? Is there a specific community secret tool I am supposed to use for zipping or specific settings? I am pulling my hair in distress. Unfortunately as there are no errors involved I lack logs to offer, if that disqualifies this thread please do not be harsh and instead if you can then please direct me to a forum with different rules and sufficiently respectful but knowledgeable as to be of assistance. Most of my experience with the programming community has been poor and so naturally I find myself wary.
    • I never picked up a tier 0 dragon skull to my knowledge. One of my other skulls must have bugged out and randomly became one. I was confused on what the heck it was and tried placing it, now the game will only crash because it can't render in whatever the heck the tier 0 skull is. This is on a server and it crashes anyone within render distance.
