![]() ![]() There is one caveat, some of the mods are hosted on gpcf's sites which use cgit and cgit currently does not support shallow cloning. The biggest file saving here is that advtrains contains about 100MB of junk in the assets folder that most players won't want to touch. For this reason, it is highly recommended to perform a shallow clone rather than a full clone of most of the submodules, saving a lot of data transfers, especially for those mods with a lot of binary files like textures where git tracks the complete file for each version of the binary files. It can take some time to download all of the git history. This modpack uses git submodules to fetch data from a large number of other repositories. Furthermore, you may want to play around with the source code of some of these mods and contribute back upstream, and then you would have to have git anyway :). Thankfully, using git will also mean that updating the modpack won't require you to download huge amounts of what is mostly the same data each time you update. Theoretically I could create an archive file of the whole modpack without any git information but I haven't yet. In the spirit of LinuxForks, you will have to be somewhat technical to install this modpack in that you will have to have git installed. The modpack was originally started in 5.3.0 though, so it might work for that version. The modpack is only supported for minetest version 5.5.1 I don't test it on earlier versions. However, I do intend to maintain an Australian theme on top of the tech/realism basis.Īny reference to 'Forks modpack' below can be taken as a shorthand for 'AussieForks' modpack. I don't plan on adding basic_materials, or moving away from technic. ![]() As a long-time player of LinuxForks I mostly agree with their philosophies on things. This modpack is largely the same as its LinuxForks origin and is likely to remain that way. It was directly based on the mods used on the LinuxForks minetest server, but this version contains some extra mods that Blockhead wanted for his own use and some updates to mods that LinuxForks has not updated themselves. ![]()
