This is still my number 1 go to tool. I am glad to see that you are a releasing a new version all together. I look forward to it.

Hi,
I am interested in the S3 feature of this program but I am unsure what to enter in the service URI. For laughs I entered http://<my_bucket_name>.s3.amazonaws.com/ and when I clicked test it said connection successful. I already have an S3 bucket created but nothing ever shows up in the listbox. I'm not sure how to configure this. Any help would be much appreciated!

EDIT:

Why is it that every time I finally ask for help, I figure it out five minutes later?? Why universe why!?
Use the following as the service URI: https://s3.amazonaws.com/

I changed some internal working in SolderHelper, so it should run a whole lot faster now, especially if you were using the auto solder features.
And hidden knowledge, i now block the interface instead of making it hang, so you can see that the program hasn't crashed, but i just busy with uploading.

A little background story first:
I have been hosting packs and servers for the last few years. A few years ago Technic added support for allowing us to host custom modpacks. This was  awesome and I went ahead almost the moment it happened. This was still the time of big and heavy zip files.
Then came along Solder. Solder helped us destributing files one at a time.
It took me almost a year to get it working from when I started attempting to use it. I did however get it working, back in June I think it was.
All was well, though I quite quickly discovered that packing files for Solder was quite the hasle.
So being the enormous lazy guy I am I sat down one Tuesday and made a script that could pack all the files for me.
Nice i thought, the only problem was that I had to enter modname, modversion and minecraft version for each and every mod... And having a 150 files modpack that certainly wasn't boring
So I had what the h**k and turned it into an actual program, that could figure out most of the important stuff like name, version and mcversion.
Since then I added quite a few extra things I thought was necesarry, like only packing updated mods, checking permissions, including forge and configs.
So enough with the story:
 
Solder Helper
The result of all this is something I thought others could make use of, so that's why I decided to share it with you guys here, since i'm likely not the only one who has been pretty bored with updating.
 
Core features:
Create packs for either Solder or just normal zip packs. Create FTB Packs and get permission lists Include any forge version you wishes, just choose from the application. Include configs Check permissions if you wishes so (Highly encouraged) Both private and public. Get permission list in a nice text format Get a list nice and simple list of all packed mods Runs on both Linux and Windows Get modlist Include unarchieved mods Include stuff like the script folder from Minetweaker Automatically upload Solder Files to an FTP host Automatically update your modpacks on your solder install Automatically upload Solder Files to Amazon S3 services With all the improvement it's shouldn't take more than a minute to pack all your files for distribution.
The program is OpenSource and can be found on github.
 
For Windows the installer can be found here. This installer also included an autoupdater for when I add additional features.
This uses about 10 MB of space total.
 
For Linux just do the following and you can find the program in your home directory:
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zlepper/TechnicSolderHelper/master/TechnicSolderHelper/install.sh | bash It can be done from from anywhere, though you have to use the terminal, then the installer script takes care of the rest.
WARNING: It will use quite a lot extra space, since it requires mono to be installed, about 250 MB. However the installation of mono is included in the script.
To run the program just navigate into the install directory and look for the file called "Run SolderHelper.sh"
To update it just run the "update.sh" file.
 
Planned features:
Support for FTB packs Added Support for AT Launcher packs Autoupload to FTP servers Added Autoupdate of the actual Technic Solder installs, so you don't have to enter versions each time. Added Creation of a modlist you can paste in places like Technic ads Added Creation of a complete permissionlist. Added (Would be nice if we could format things in the pack configs, but that's for another time) Bugs
I expect a few bugs here and there. If you happen to stumble into any the program will create a crash report on your desktop. If you could report the issue on github and include the crashlog, and what you were doing I would be very grateful, and will try to fix issues ASAP.
There shouldn't be any dangerous bugs, but incase anything goes wrong I'm not responsible for it.
Warning:
If you decide to use the mysql function of the program, be warned: You have to open a port to your MySQL server, which is a major security risk.
It is recommended you create an ssh tunnel to connect to the remote server:
ssh -L 3306:hostname:3306 [email protected] The syntax is
ssh -L <localport>:hostname:<remoteport> <username>@<servername> The you can point Modpack Helper to localhost and everything should work securely.

If you have a question to ask, just write in this thread, or find me on the Technic Discord Server.

No it's not, it has no way of detecting the ftp feature. Also ftp and s3 are completely seperate features of the program.
The program it is complaining about is what the .Net framework uses to install ClickOnce application.
Also, should you happen to delete this file, good luck installing Google Chrome, which is just one of the many applications which uses the .Net installer.
 
 
It should print out all stored information, but I recently broke the database, so it's likely it doesn't have any information stored at all right now, other than the open permissions.
But i'll see what I can do about adding some kind of error.
Latest version will now print make a list of files it doesn't know permissions for, and a list of files it knows nothing about at all.

Im just making a post here to cheer you on Zlepper. The software keeps getting better and better and I give you my gratitude. It has made making packs worlds easier. I salute you and keep up the amazing work!

I'll just leave this here to tease a bit:

I accepted into the project after some changes, but otherwise it worked fine
 
Also, for anyone interrested in how it looks when I decide if your version choose made sense:

I accepted into the project after some changes, but otherwise it worked fine
 
Also, for anyone interrested in how it looks when I decide if your version choose made sense:

Hey Zlepper, I was poking around the code a little bit and make a few UI changes.
Was a bit curious on how the GitHub process works so I created an account and forked your project, then pushed my changes to the fork.
 
This looks like it should be easier to review over any suggestions I may have as instead of sending local copies. Also I made a pull request you your project with my changes for your review, the changes were fairly minor usability differences.
 
Would love to help on the project, even if it is for minor things.

The two differences are accounted for, and I am completely unable to reproduce the crash you are experiencing.
Try sending your bibliocraft file to me, then I might be able to figure out something.
 
That didn't make any resonable sense to me. But for you ftp thing you have to add the protocol infront of the ftp url, like this:
ftp://zlepper.dk And to use mysql you don't need to have any uploading done by SolderHelper, it's just there for automating purposes.
Also for your timeouts: Are you sure that you have opened to needed ports to connect to the mysql database from the outside of your network? That is usually what causes a timeout.

Right now it only works if solder is running on a mysql database.
 
 
I'm not sure what you mean by changing it.
nvm i'm a derp when i'm writing things, fixing it now XD
 
 
Right now i'm checking if you are actually connecting to a proper solder database, but some structures changed, so my detection changed a bit. But I will change it so it ignores the little difference between the two.
The latest version can work with both 0.6 and 0.7.x of solder now.

You will now be asked about unarchieved stuff, at least as long as a .jar file isn't found in the folder.

The crash issue is fixed now. It seems forge decided to suddenly change something in their version 2 json.
 
I will get around to the unarchieved mods soon.

I expect a few bugs here and there. If you happen to stumble into any the program will create a crash report on your desktop. If you could report the issue on github and include the crashlog, and what you were doing I would be very grateful, and will try to fix issues ASAP.
There shouldn't be any dangerous bugs, but incase anything goes wrong I'm not responsible for it.
Warning:
If you decide to use the mysql function of the program, be warned: You have to open a port to your MySQL server, which is a major security risk.
It is recommended you create an ssh tunnel to connect to the remote server:
ssh -L 3306:hostname:3306 [email protected] The syntax is
ssh -L <localport>:hostname:<remoteport> <username>@<servername> The you can point Modpack Helper to localhost and everything should work securely.

A little background story first:
I have been hosting packs and servers for the last few years. A few years ago Technic added support for allowing us to host custom modpacks. This was  awesome and I went ahead almost the moment it happened. This was still the time of big and heavy zip files.
Then came along Solder. Solder helped us destributing files one at a time.
It took me almost a year to get it working from when I started attempting to use it. I did however get it working, back in June I think it was.
All was well, though I quite quickly discovered that packing files for Solder was quite the hasle.
So being the enormous lazy guy I am I sat down one Tuesday and made a script that could pack all the files for me.
Nice i thought, the only problem was that I had to enter modname, modversion and minecraft version for each and every mod... And having a 150 files modpack that certainly wasn't boring
So I had what the h**k and turned it into an actual program, that could figure out most of the important stuff like name, version and mcversion.
Since then I added quite a few extra things I thought was necesarry, like only packing updated mods, checking permissions, including forge and configs.
So enough with the story:
 
Solder Helper
The result of all this is something I thought others could make use of, so that's why I decided to share it with you guys here, since i'm likely not the only one who has been pretty bored with updating.
 
Core features:
Create packs for either Solder or just normal zip packs. Create FTB Packs and get permission lists Include any forge version you wishes, just choose from the application. Include configs Check permissions if you wishes so (Highly encouraged) Both private and public. Get permission list in a nice text format Get a list nice and simple list of all packed mods Runs on both Linux and Windows Get modlist Include unarchieved mods Include stuff like the script folder from Minetweaker Automatically upload Solder Files to an FTP host Automatically update your modpacks on your solder install Automatically upload Solder Files to Amazon S3 services With all the improvement it's shouldn't take more than a minute to pack all your files for distribution.
The program is OpenSource and can be found on github.
 
For Windows the installer can be found here. This installer also included an autoupdater for when I add additional features.
This uses about 10 MB of space total.
 
For Linux just do the following and you can find the program in your home directory:
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zlepper/TechnicSolderHelper/master/TechnicSolderHelper/install.sh | bash It can be done from from anywhere, though you have to use the terminal, then the installer script takes care of the rest.
WARNING: It will use quite a lot extra space, since it requires mono to be installed, about 250 MB. However the installation of mono is included in the script.
To run the program just navigate into the install directory and look for the file called "Run SolderHelper.sh"
To update it just run the "update.sh" file.
 
Planned features:
Support for FTB packs Added Support for AT Launcher packs Autoupload to FTP servers Added Autoupdate of the actual Technic Solder installs, so you don't have to enter versions each time. Added Creation of a modlist you can paste in places like Technic ads Added Creation of a complete permissionlist.

Glad to hear!
 
But to be the bearer of bad news, I have just released an update, which to make some things more compatible will break the current install, so before you update I would suggest you to go into the %appdata% directory, look for solderhelper, and delete the files there. If you don't you might end up having a lot of crashes due to missing database information.
 
Changelog:
Improved mod detection, now a few more mods should be identified.
Permission is now 100% working, though even more improvements are coming.
Lots of quality improvements.
For those using Technic Solder, the mods file that opens in your webbrowser should now autoselect text in the outputtable. (You might have to force your browser to reload it's cache (shift + F5)) EDIT: Or rather, this will work once cloudfront decides to actually update the mirrored files there.
Loads of bugfixes.
