#126572 This is actually pretty helpful for people, not knowing how to install the mod. Unlike others, you provided shots of the step-by-step procedure of installing pixelmon, and I really want to thank you for that. Keep up the great work. :P

#126573 Thanks for the feedback. I will also be doing a Server one Vanilla/Bukkit(MCPC+). I know there are videos out there, but some are a bit out of date. Plus having an updated written Tut is always helpful. I would do a video, but too lazy. If you want your video in the thread above, I can add it. But I would wait till 1.7.2 to do a video Tut.

This occurs fairly often as soon as I try and connect to the server. I'm using minecraft 1.6.4 and forge 1.6.4 along with pixelmon 3.0.4 with no other mods downloaded. My username is croe97.


It means there is an entity with a longer name then it should have. It is causing you to crash. I recommend starting a new server, unless this is on all servers you are joining.
