Now that I know some java and minecraft modding, I believe the problem you have is that the server can't find somthing. I don't know for sure but a crash log would be helpfull

I don't know what's wrong here, you may have an incompatible mod or something. Try removing all mods and then adding them back in 1 by 1

For Dropbox you actually can re-enable the public folder so you don't have to copy the link, paste it in a window, and then right click the blue button. Once you click the link, your dropbox creates a public folder. Just drop the modpack in the public folder and right click to select copy public link. then you paste that in as the modpack location. Here is the link: https://www.dropbox.com/enable_public_folder

Open TextEdit and paste this in: cd ~/Desktop/Explosives-Craft-2-Server/ java -Xms3G -Xmx3G -jar Explosivescraft-server.jar -o true Make sure to replace with the directory of the server And here you can chose how much ram to use by replacing the 3's with the amount of gigs you want to use. Also make sure to replace the Explosivescraft-server.jar with the name of the server.jar Then save it as a .txt file and name it start.command and not start.command.txt Then open terminal and change directories to the start.command Then type in and press enter Finally, run start.command! I hope this helps! If not, you can talk with me on http://www.masterzach32.net/ chmod +x start.command

Well, I don't know if this is the problem but I noticed this. It was a problem for me so I think this might help. Your using Java 7 and LWJGL 2.4.2. These are NOT compatible You should either downgrade to Java 6 or upgrade to LWJGL 2.9.0

You can't do anything about this because this is their problem. I have the same problem when updated my solder pack explosives craft 2, it gave me error 500 whenever I loaded the page after I updated the info of the pack on the platform

I made a Mac tutorial video on how to make a modpack here at . Sorry if its confusing, but I will try and make one with voice soon. You don't need to get any archive app, just make sure you have Mac OS 10.5 or later. (Maybe 10.6 but I use 10.7)

I had this problem but I don't anymore. I have Explosivescraft 2 running minecraft 1.5.1 and the latest version of forge and optifine. You may just need to use an updated version of forge. That was my problem

This means you didn't use an automatic download link. What do you use to host your modpack?

i use dream host. really easy to use

this is what happened to me. had to use my website to host

I actually figured this out already, but thanks for confirming me.

if you already have a site, then i think you could make a subdomain for free

Solder needs to be hosted on a sub domain of a website. heres my solder install: http://www.modpacks.masterzach32.net prices for web hosting depend on your web hosting service

Im fine with that. in fact, i kinda forgot how to do this because i now use technic solder to manage my packs. its more confusing but it makes updates so much easier to make! plus you can have multiple versions of your pack like tekkit does. If anyone wants to set up solder with their pack then i could help but it is a long process and you will probably need to spend some money

I can make a mac guide, the steps aren't that different though

for some reason when i run my modpack, it just puts the mods in the modpack folder and not in the mods folder, and i wanted to know how to tell solder what folder to put the mod into

It Worked, but now does it sync my modpack info or do i have to recreate the pack again? I own Explosives Craft, and i don't want to have everyone download it again.

Hi, I have setup solder fully at http://www.modpacks.masterzach32.net, but i wanted to know what my solder install is to put in the configure solder page in the technic platform. ive tried lots of combos but nothing works

You need an automatic download link!

First, you are distributing the minecraft.jar. DO NOT DO THIS!!!! IT IS PIRACY!!!!! next, one of your configs might have been messed up, so use only the ones you absolutely need, and then get rid of the other ones, some may not be compatible.

Thanks, it does work, and it saves me a lot of time!

Dropbox doesn't work like that anymore, if you do it my way on page 2 it works fine
