using Forge version 12.16.1.1900, and version 0.6.0 of cyclopscore, it crashes before loading minecraft, here is my log: http://pastebin.com/U8rUXiXM

Only mods tested are cyclopscore and evilcraft, I was contemplating putting this under Evilcraft since it involves that in the error, and also Evilcraft doesn't actually pre-load, but I didn't since the error starts with Cyclopscore.

Try updating to Forge 12.16.1.1907. Apparently I forgot to add that as minimal requirement to CyclopsCore, which is why it starts loading.

Nope, same problem with 1907

Could you send me the full forge log? Because I can't see any reason why this crash is occuring from the stacktrace only.

Thanks! I'll try to look into it over the weekend.

Thank you :) I'll wait to play minecraft until then, I can't go on without those Evilcraft tanks ;p

You could always use an earlier version of the mod until then ;-) Unless that also crashes your game?

I'll definitely try that, since there's a couple of other releases for 1.9. I'll try now actually and see... It works! Cyclops 0.5.9 works with the newest version of Evilcraft.

Are the 1.9.4 versions compatible with just regular 1.9?

@xenanthropy No, they aren't. Most mods who already were on 1.9 will probably update to 1.9.4 soon enough.

I have no idea what may be causing your crash. I can not reproduce it in any way.
It looks like your EvilCraft jar somehow is calling CyclopsCore code in the wrong way, even though my code calls it correctly.

I suggest you try out the new 1.9.4 versions (which will be released later today), and see if that magically fixes your problem.

Considering this resolved.
