I got it working, thanks for working with me, you've been great. Switching forge to installer rather than universal, and zipping it properly seems to have done it.

It didn't work again, one thing I'm noticing is that when I try to run the mod on my launcher, It doesn't try to update when I go to it to run it, even though I changed the files. I'm not sure if I'm just not waiting long enough for the server to update, or if there's something else going on. Also, there's a few tutorials I looked up for this, and they're released at different times with different methods, so some use the universal forge and some use the installer. I assume I use the universal, right?

I tried the universal, as well as the installer. I also ran these mods on my minecraft instillation, and they run clean as far as I know, plus most of them were from curseforge. If I did get something that wasn't off of curseforge, it was because curse doesn't have the 1.12.2 versons of the mods I wanted. Imma try this again with the proper zipping...

When uploading my pack here, I kept running into the same problem. After successfully uploading my drobox file, I test the modpack by running it in the launcher, and I notice that it starts up super fast, and doesn't run forge. All the other discussions on a topic close to this got shut down without a clear resolution, so I have no idea what I'm doing wrong. Here's the pack(hopefully I'm sharing this correctly): https://www.technicpack.net/modpack/capt-frices-bluepack.1820096 And here's the dropbox: https://www.dropbox.com/s/si3inhmbqpi1qbg/modpack.zip?dl=1
