[List of good places to host your modpack file]

000webhost does not seem to work, it gets to 30% of my download then fails everytime, after a few tries it fails to connect altogether.

x10 seemed to work for me, but you have to login every month or they cancel your account, can be annoying if you forget.

thanks for reply

I have decided to just build it from the ground up rather than use the tekkit install. Its not that difficult and I think it would help people if the guide went in that direction, rather than using an existing modpack, but that is my opinion.

Also I have a suggestion for the hosting part, which is where I became incredibly frustrated, as I thought you just put the mods zip url straight into the launcher, and kept getting the invalid url message. After trying like 10 different hosts, and reading google for a few hours I finally worked it out.

something along the lines of:

- go to http://www.technicpack.net/ and make an account, or login if you have an existing account

- click 'dashboard' link in the top right of the page

- click 'create a new modpack'

- give it a name and choose version of minecraft you are using

- click hidden if you are testing the modpack, you can publish it at any time later

- click on dashboard link again

- click on 'my modpacks' and click on modpack you just created

- to the right of 'platform url' box click 'edit'

- put the link to your modpack's zip file (must be a direct download ie dropbox)

- click 'save modpack' at the bottom right of the page

- click dashboard again, my modpacks again, and your modpack again

- this will give you the platform URL which will be something like: http://www.technicpack.net/api/modpack/yourpackname

- in the techinc launcher go to 'add new pack' and paste this URL into the box that pops up

- it should now download and install your modpack to your technic folder

- friends can help test your pack with just this URL

thanks for the guide anyway luke, it was a great help for a first timer like myself, even though I did get pretty confused at these points I have mentioned.

edit: also you may want to edit out the &quot in the ID error section

thanks for the guide, the first part about setting up forge was a huge help, but i come unstuck when you say to "download tekkit then delete the stuff in config, coremods and mods folders, now you have a clean modpack" I dont have a clean modpack, I have all these other folders such as cache, lib and resources which have many zips and rars for mods i dont need. should i delete these folders too?

[Invalid Technic Platform delivery URL]

edit: ok I fixed it, I didnt realise the platform created its own url, and was using my download link instead. disregard question.

Hi there, I am trying to build my first modpack, and I have created the zip for download in the technic launcher, set up page on the site with the platform url, but whatever I try I always get the 'Invalid Technic Platform delivery URL' message.

so far I have tried:

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/26721806/mersh_0.1.zip (the 'copy public link' option from public dropbox)

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/26721806/mersh_0.1.zip?dl=1 (from a suggestion to fix link)

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/2tymjls9mmbtw5s/mersh_0.1.zip

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/2tymjls9mmbtw5s/mersh_0.1.zip?dl=1

and from my hosting:

http://mershcraft.x10.mx/Downloads/mersh_0.1.zip

None of the above options worked. All of the above links start a direct download in browser without going to another page.

If anyone can help me work out what is going wrong I would appreciate it, thanks.
