I read that the mod was allowed to be installed and used with the server. I have tried installing it but, 1.6.2's new launcher has thrown me for a loop and I have no idea how to get it working. If anyone could help that would be great. Thanks!
I would use magic launcher and install the mod and modloader. There are instructions on YouTube on how to load them. It is very easy to install
I personally prefer to create my own custom modded version of mc and use the offical launcher... it just seems more... official..... also SirSolo11 if you have a windows pc I would be more then happy to put up a tutorial on how to mod your new client. Tag me back here if you have a windows based pc and want to try using the official launcher still.
I would also like a tutorial on this as I can't seem to follow the one's on youtube. Also, I don't understand how to have optifine and rei's map in the same profile.
Instead of putting all the files in the minecraft.jar, you will need to go to versions, select 1.6.2, and then drag the files from Reis minimap into the 1.6.2 minecraft.jar.
I have noticed modding is a bit more trickier with the latest launcher, but it does make it nice that they "version" your different profiles, so you can use mods that are allowed in ECC under one profile, and if you have a local survival game or any other multiplayer server you connect to that allows other mods, you can create a profile for that. Much better than the previous method, which required you to make your own .jar backup. I really only use OptiFine for ECC, but I would like to get Rei's minimap back, especially when I forget to get the coordinates of a mineshaft or looking for where a spawn room is when I hear mobs.
