Yeah, pretty much what Viktor said. After messing with it further though, I think having wireless redstone working with it would mitigate basically all of the problems I was having, and would open up a lot of other possibilities as well. Is renewed compatibility on the road map or is it waiting on changes from FMP/WR?

Is it out of reasonable technical possibility to make it possible to attach template carriages to other types? I have no doubt that would be very complex, but template carriages are the most flexible for making strange or compact shapes, but are also significantly more complex to move in more than one direction.

Works like a dream, thanks very much CanVox! I don't think I ever would have found that myself.

It's in the OP, but I guess a hyperlink is too subtle: http://www.technicpack.net/modpack/details/progress.12299

Are you still getting an error related to Rei's minimap after switching them out? Just post the new crash log.

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/34787499/minecraft/1.6.4/%5B1.6.4%5DReiMinimap_v3.4_01.zip

What version of Rei's are you running? 1.6.4 version is v3.4_01

Logs of what? Is the game crashing? Hanging on startup? Not working with Platform? I still don't know what is even broken.

Some 1.6.2 mods work with 1.6.4, some don't. Test with caution. Resource packs are the new name for texture packs, because they can do more than just textures now. Mods can be .jar or .zip. There is a version of Rei's for 1.6.4. If something's not working, you need to be more specific what it is.

This has nothing to do with the pack itself, it's the launcher. It fails to download the zip. Besides that, the pack is set up properly. Like I said I've been using Platform ever since it started, I know how to put a pack together properly.

The problem isn't unarchiving, it's downloading. I tested anyway to make sure, calling it modpack.zip made no difference. As I said, I've been using zips named things besides modpack.zip for several months on Platform, and it's never been a problem.

Changing the name of the zip doesn't make a difference. I've been using this same zip ever since Platform started without an issue.

No. This is the URL to the zip: http://bmrf.me/download/BMRF-Progress.zip And I use 7zip. Never had problems previously until I tried to do an update last night.

When trying to launch this modpack, I get asked to update, as expected - but when I click yes, the dialog simply disappears and nothing downloads. I am able to download the .zip through my browser without issue, so it's not a problem on the file hosting side. Restarting the launcher has no effect. Any ideas?

What you pasted is not a crash log and has nothing to do with harbingers.
