I use drop box and it works just fine. It might be because I made a dropbox a while ago and still have a public folder.

Try wiping your client side and start with a fresh download of the modpack. Sometimes it doesn't overwrite the files properly.

You might be able to if it has an option for the direct download of files. I don't know though for sure. You would have to consult google for that information.

If you don't need any configs you can just leave the folder empty. Are you referring to the mod tab in the minecraft home screen? That will only show if FML is properly installed (which the guide shows you how to do). Mod edit: Learn to use the edit button.

I just went through your modpack and I can't seem to find any issues. The only thing I might be able to think of is possibly all the configs are messing things up somewhere along the line. Maybe try isolating the problem by removing the configs and try running again.

Can you link the direct download link and not the platform link?

You need a dropbox public folder in order to distribute the pack. I don't know how to get one if it already doesn't have it. Check the dropbox website. That's where the modpack needs to go in order to get a public link though.

Are you placing that link into Platform? You need to place the automatic download link into platform. This can only be obtained by placing the .zip file in the "Public" folder on your drop box. One you have that, you will get a "Public Key" by right clicking I believe. (IE:https://dl.dropbox.com/u/67646975/mods.zip). This is the only way that Platform will download your pack. Edit: Otherwise, from what I can tell, your modpack looks to be correctly setup.

I'll add one now haha. That seems to be 90% of the things said in this section.

Did you check all the possible bits of error (like what milk1432 had)? I can't really give you more information without actually seeing the pack itself.

No problem. Sometimes we all need a second eye (or I guess a third unless you're a Cyclops). I know when I was trying to get it to work, I completely deleted the "bin" file from my client side and made it start all over again downloading everything again. The update system is weird and if it senses that the name already exists, it does not overwrite the file (especially if it is the same version). Try deleting the bin files and re-downloading the pack. That should work.

For sure it will work when you manually place it in. The idea is to get the platform to do that for you and your players. Also, I just downloaded your modpack from the file and in the Bin, your "modpack.jar" is actually saved as "modpack.jar.zip". Try removing the zip file attachment and changing the actual file (not just the name) for modpack.jar.

More information is needed before you will get any help.

Make sure that you are compressing the items in the bin folder to a .jar file and not a .rar file. That can cause issues.

I edited the post to properly show how to make the modpack.jar file. Hopefully this eases confusion. I also added a disclaimer at the bottom about distributing the minecraft.jar file. Hopefully this is correct. Thanks for the help. I just felt like this section needed a comprehensive view on how to properly do this. I wrote the guide as I figured it out how to do this myself.
