Re: Our Plan B

Almost forgot! Witchery now adds custom potions. even one with a size altering effect! ranges from .25*, .5*, 1.5*, 2*.
If i am correct, might be different.
Yet you could theoretically apply the effect permanently.

In addition to the Ant-Man mod, could we also add in Project Superhumans (which needs baubles) that adds in a lot of superheroes/villains from both dc and marvel and new abilities?

by **Ciabatta** Fri Aug 14, 2015 11:58 am

Lol. I'd still like to maintain a bit of simplicity here... Don't want this to end up like FTB modpacks that have so many new things, they kind of overload the senses. XD

by TheHylianWizard Fri Aug 14, 2015 12:29 pm

True, ok!

I typed out like a paragraph explaining why I think this change is a good thing, then I managed to delete it...
Anyway, I think this is a good change

Well, I suppose cia is right on the whole, too complex bit. But if it's any consolation to anyone I'd be willing to teach anyone about any mod if they are confused. So I personally think this might be a good way to expose players to new things! Also, I recommend a document of all proposed mods just to keep track of what's planned. This would also make it easy to recommend new mods and the like.

Just a reminder, this writeup has a compilation of the original mod package, plus their pros and cons...

https://bigsister.forumotion.com/t704-our-plan-b#12022

As far as how things go currently, here is my breakout so far:

DEFINITELY
- CustomNPCs
- MoCreatures
- Twilight Forest
- Tabbychat
- Minecraft 1.7.10

POSSIBLY
- Morph Mod

UNSURE
- Biomes O Plenty
- Ender Expansion
- Witchery
- Little Blocks
- AntMan Mod
- Minecraft 1.8.x

NO
- Tinker's Construct
- Project Superhumans

The 1.8 thing is a shame since I really wanted to start us off on a modern footing, but even after a year mod support for it is still very spotty. Sad

Anyway, what I need now from the mod experts is to know whether we can (without breaking courtesy or etiquette) offer these different mods as a single ZIP file for all our server players? I need to know for documentation purposes. Thanks. ^^

Heya, there’s just something I’m going to bring up about the Ant-man mod
It’s still in beta, so obviously it’s going to be very buggy. I was watching a gameplay of it the other day and saw that jumping is quite glitchy. To be honest this new LB server won't make a big difference without it, as this mod doesn’t seem to have a lot of features.

Anyway, to those who want the link of the video I watched here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7uWd4sBrAN4

by **Ciabatta** Sat Aug 15, 2015 4:48 pm

Ewww!! I hope that's not how the current mod is like right now, otherwise its horrible! Morph does the size perspective way better. ><

Gonna have to move this to Unsure. ><

by **Spookster** Sat Aug 15, 2015 5:02 pm

Err I think that's not the mod... That is one of the fancy new 1.8 "One command" creations

The command:

I think the ant man mod is definatly something else

EDIT: Not sure but I think this is the mod

Well someone please post a video or something to allay my concerns as that really spooked me out (no pun intended, Spookie). ><

by **Spookster** Sat Aug 15, 2015 5:16 pm

I think this is it, shrinking starts somewhere around 5:38

by **Ciabatta** Sat Aug 15, 2015 7:34 pm

Oh, phew.... thats a relief... >v<

Well, I'll keep it under Unsure for now anyway, since it's still in early beta, but thankfully it can be added after the fact.

I am liking this plan, because its drawing me back, because new players, new mods I'd be like a kid in a candy store, and if we are getting new mods can we get some form of tinker's construct, because that would add more weapons we can build

by **Ciabatta** Tue Oct 27, 2015 6:09 pm

Hmm, well about that... I do have an update on this, but it's not particularly a good one as I need to reprioritize things, and the Parallel Server may not become a reality after all. On the other hand, it also means I'll probably do something that will enhance Big Sis a little further [related to the Ark].

Stay tuned for future updates.

And this is cancelled.... https://bigsister.forumotion.com/t801-cancellation-of-plans#13469

Hello everyone I quickly look most of the post here since we are close to 2017 I had a bit of catch up to do. Ciabatta I will check with the mods you chose how a tiny modpack could run.

I ll get those I can with curse forge since there would be no ''Legal issues'' to worry about. Also I know there is a way to publish the modpack so people could just download it and add the non curse forge mod by them self which would be easy.

I will also test the minimum requirements it would require for low configuration PC.

I will also ask a friend if he can check to code of Gulliver mod to see if it could be adapt to 1.7.10 and how much work it would require since I think that we can pretty much say the mod in abandoned now.

Last but not the least I ll check for mods that could replace Biome O Plenty like Extra biome XL which add giant pine forest and such things without adding many blocks.

After I will have done that I ll make you a resume with all my conclusions and a file to download so you can test by yourself if you want to.

Consider this my gift to the future of BS and LB for Holidays.

P.S. Don't try to stop me I will start as soon as I am done sending this. ;3

by **Ciabatta** Thu Dec 29, 2016 9:48 am

Pfff, you forgot the part where this is cancelled. XD

Granted this can still be resurrected as a Little Brother modpack (LB changes mods semi-frequently), but Big Sister herself will close in January 2018 so there's little point now upsetting the balance of things in it. Either way, it won't be my call soon. ^^;
