Hey guys! So I have to level with you guys, especially sense none of you have failed to notice how bumpy this pack's journey has been lately. As many of you know, I have strained to keep up with this pack, and the recent problem of bandwidth limits and my main host shutting down in a little over a month has been very trying. Truth is, I've looked far and wide to find a host that could at least be swapped to if the bandwidth limit was reached on the other host(s). But I have found none. I'm not hating on Technic, I love Technic, but Technic API has some serious limitations on what the direct DLs URL should look like. Thus, even though there's no shortage of free hosts, there doesn't seem to be any host, with direct DLs, that Technic API clears for use. Except Copy.com, which is shutting down May 1st, and of course Dropbox. Dropbox is a nice host, easy to use and has fast DL times. But it also has a very limited bandwidth limit for free accounts, hence all the bandwidth issues lately. 6 out of 8 times it went down over the past week were from Dropbox because free accounts are so limited. "So? Pay for a premium account!" There's two reasons I can't pay for an account. First, I'm not "well to do" at all. Time is about the only thing I can spend right now. And secondly, if and when I start making much better wages, I won't be spending them on servers or premium accounts. I know that sounds cold and harsh to you guys, but truth is I have a dream I know I can obtain, and it's not Minecraft modpack hosting. It's always been a dream of mine to pursue YouTube video and Twitch stream productions, which of course takes some serious gear. That gear ain't cheap... It's very spensive... very VERY spensive... So when I start making better wages, that's where the extra will go. I know a lot of people would label it as a waste, especially when thinking of all the hundreds of thousands and millions of other people trying to do the same thing. And if you know me, I'm not the most confident individual, yet despite those things, I can feel that I can do it; I know I can. And if I'm wrong, I'll have some awesome gaming gear lol. But nah, I won't fail, cause I'll do it whether I'm successful or not. It's just fun, and it's amazing to make people smile and laugh. Those are the real reasons I want to do this. So now, I want to talk directly to my supporters, which I guess I have been this whole time actually, so Idk why I say that. thank you so so SO SO much for all the support, help, suggestions, encouragement, and fun times! It's been so awesome doing all of this with you guys and giving you something you enjoy and had fun with! When I came here a year ago, I started my first pack just cause I was bored and figured if even one person liked and had fun with the pack, I would have succeeded. That's what it's always been about; making you guys happy! Well, looks like I made ~41K people happy and ~59 really really happy, so that's nothing less than amazing and a blessing in my book! And I say blessing, because it was you guys that put those numbers up there, not me; so thanks again for being so awesome and blessing me! The great news is that someone else may be interested in taking the pack off my hands and keeping it going, which would be absolutely amazing! Well, I'd say goodbye, but this isn't goodbye. I'll still be around here and always on Twitter (Good God, definitely on Twitter, I spend soooo much time on Twitter...), and hopefully I'll see you guys around Technic, in my future streams, and future comments sections! Til next time guys, thanks again so much! Be happy, keep smiling, and have a blessed day! :)

Hey guys, sorry about the troubles but I have been having a lot of trouble with bandwidth limits and I cant find another host that has unlimited bandwidth limits. I have searched for a few days now, but I cannot find one. Unfortunately, there's nothing I can do about the bandwidth limits at the moment. Sorry about the complications, and thanks for sticking in with me but this might be the end of this pack very soon.

Hey guys, so first thing to say is your player skin is safe! The problem is that for some reason Technic Launcher seems to have some kind of delay between player skin refreshing and ends up displaying your skin as default steve. So in short, Technic can't refresh quick enough and so the game is defaulting to the skin file in the actual minecraft.jar skin. Here's how to keep that from happening. This will work with all other packs as well, and I've personally been doing this for some time to keep the skin from defaulting. First get yourself WinRAR or 7-zip. I recommend 7-zip as its free and has all your practical functions for pretty much every kind of compressed file out there. Then navigate to: AppData\Roaming\.technic\modpacks\aether-ii-revived\bin. Then, using WinRAR or 7-zip to open minecraft.jar and go into: assets\minecraft\textures\entity. Now get your skin file, copy it (preferably to desktop) and rename the copy "steve.png". Now drag and drop into the "entity" folder in the .jar file. Say "yes" to any dialogue boxes that ask you if you're sure. You're done! Just close the .jar file and enjoy the pack! Now if the refresh delay tries to default to "steve.png", that file will still be your skin. Keep in mind you'll have to do this again to any other Minecraft.jar for other packs, and you'll have to repeat if you update your skin and want the default skin to be your newest skin. Hope this helps, happy crafting! :)

Hey guys, so you might be here for the competition details, so I'm going to get straight to it. Using HQM Quest Mod 1.7.10, create about a few dozen quests (12-40) and submit them to me via [email protected]. Create the quests using the in-game editor using the command "/hqm edit". They will then be saved to "AppData/Roaming/.technic/modpacks/aether-ii-revived/config/hqm/quests.hqm". When sending the E-Mail, write in the subject line "HQM Quests". If the subject line says anything else, it will be ignored. In the email, please attach the "quests.hqm" file AND the files found in "QuestFiles", if there are any; both can be found in the earlier directory address. A brief example of the quests themselves and, if applicable, the over laying story is prefered. If you make your own story, please stay lore friendly as possible! You can refer to the Aether II Wiki for lore details. Also, keep all content including language G rated. Entrants may have their entire quest line used, or only certain quests. There is the possibility for multiple winners. As soon as you send the e-mail containing the files, those files become property of Gryph0nnn. I will, of course, give all credit to the creators. There is no reward for this other than seeing your own quests be played by many other players here on Technic. I also reserve the right to make edits to every and any component of the files and how they are used in game. I don't think I will though cause I'm lost :b If there are no quality entrants, no entrants within the rules earlier stated, or no entrants at all, I will create my own quest line, however it will take a long time. Good luck to all, and thanks for participating, whether creator or user! If you have any questions feel free to ask me here on this discussion page. No where else, they will be ignored. Just helps me stay organized :) Happy coding everyone!
