Ah, okay. I'd heard there was going to be an update to the launcher, it's cool something like this'll be in it. Is anything specific public yet, or should I just wait my damn turn? Thanks again!

EDIT: This isn't a thing yet. Hello, beautiful people! tl;dr: Is there any way to make a custom modpack update itself off of a modpack's rec/dev builds, rather than the vanilla Minecraft builds? Changing things in .techniclauncher/launcher/custom#/modpack.yml doesn't work. technically legible; don't read: I'm trying to set up a custom pack based off of an existing modpack without overwriting the original modpack (mainly so I can have all the mods from Tekkit Lite for SSP, and play on standard Tekkit Lite servers). Obviously I can copy the relevant folders from Tekkit Lite and add them to the custom zip, but it seems like there should be a lazier option. I was poking around in .techniclauncer, and eventually modpack.yml, while fucking up at custom zip. //In a custom pack or Vanilla: builds: 1.4.7: libraries: minecraft: 1.4.7 mods: basemods: vanilla-v1.4.5 //In Tekkit Lite: builds: 0.5.7: minecraft: 1.4.7 forge: 517 mods: basemods: tekkitlite-v0.5.6 [fucktons of mods] It seems like there should be someway to change the mods or basemods tags on a custom pack to make it stay up to date with Tekkit lite. I tried just copying one copy of the file on top of another, but the original just reasserts itself. That sort of implies a pack's launcher data is coming from somewhere external, but a) it seems weird for that to not be configurable, and I can't find a file for it. Searching for this on the forums doesn't work very well, since "basemods" is a keyword in a lot of crash dumps. Can I actually do this? Should I actually do this? Thanks for the help!
