Why add Twitch port in the modpack?


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

So why add this port into the modpack, you need actual paid subscription!
This port isn't free-to-all, don't think it should be in here unless someone makes it free to use.

So many other things that aren't "free to all" - why make this specific post? Seems odd to me :)

And someone did make it "free to use" - the mod author :P Hehe.

Don't see the needs to add it in a modpack, since 1% of the community uses Twitch Prime. And many of them don't use mods.
Many of those Premium ports have been added to it's free-for-all, this Twitch port isn't.
And if people want it, they can get it on the forum etc.
As far as I can remember, there isn't any other mod in the modpack that requires Premium status or any other requirements to use a specific mod.

I don't understand your argument there... you're saying "Why add it to modpack, people can get it on the forum" - that statement goes for ALL mods then.. why add them to a modpack - they can be downloaded on a forum anyways? :huh:

If I could kill the Twitch Prime port I would.  Ever since I linked my Twitch Prime account to WG (for the offer), my port always switches to the Twitch Prime port when I login.  Ugly port and it's really annoying.

If you select another port, it shouldn't switch back again. Mine doesn't.

 

When you switch to another port, game adds: "<i_dont_like_twitch_port>    true    </i_dont_like_twitch_port>" to the preferences.xml file :)

Then I broke something somewhere.  I use the stormy drydock mod from the modpack.  And every time I login, my port is switched back to Twitch Prime.  :(

That could be the "issue" - try selecting a regular port, normally in the game, then restart your game, and switch back to the mod one - and things should be fine :)

 

I guess selecting the mod port doesn't add the line to the preferences file.

I have the same problem.  I did change it.
