So after seeing the dates of the posts here, and the fork/patch of this mod. I am assuming this mod is dead and should be removed from my server and modpack. Unless my google foo is weak and there is/are updates somewhere? Hopefully there are some vestiges of activity here I might get at least a direction to go involving this mod. (This post was prompted by numerous imcompatibilities with other mods, and sporadic crashs with specific weapons/items in the game.)

The mod's author, Chocolatin, doesn't really modify the mod very often, and we've built up a lot of issues since the mod's privious update was half a year ago, however he's usually active during mid to late summer, and it's early summer now, so we can expect him to return fairly soon. We also have reason to believe that he's been paying some attention to the forum and wiki during his absence. Although there have not been any releases in a while, the mod pretty much skipped from being version 1.2.5 to 1.5.2, it's been gone a while before, and I have faith it will return again. So no, not dead. Honestly, the current version, as long as you:
A) Don't use the machine gun on multiplayer. (It's not even defaultly obtainable anyway)
B) Disable NEI while attempting to trade with npcs. And
C) disable the dungeon that spawns in the end.
Will run with no problems at all! It's a little bit of work, but honestly, it's not like much of any other mods are updated to 1.8 anyway, and this version's fairly playable now, so although I too would appreciate a new version, it's really fine the way that it is.
Aside from the bug with trade rendering with NEI I'm not aware of any mod incompatiblities, and without those two things above crashing seems to relaly be pretty much avoidable. We're still making dungeons of our own and all of that, so the mod's sorta still active even without Chocolatin around.

Ya, I am aware of the isssues you listed Arlo as they are pretty heavily documented by the community here and everywhere. lol. As far as the crashing goes it is not the End or anything else listed in/on the wikia/forums doing it. Its a strange crash where even having certain items in your hotbar (like firestaff) will cause forced client crashing or KIlling a skeleton in the nether with a CQ sword crashes the whole server.....I wonder if he maintains this mod on his native language website more frequently but I have been able to locate it or if he even has one.

As far as I'm aware, he does not. Those are things I have not had any problems with, nor have heard of before, but I'll look into it and see if I can get the same issues.

There was actually a new release almost right after this conversation. It's available on the changelog page.
