not happening, sorry. shoulda kept it around if you liked it so much.

it's literally in this exact section and stickied. how did you miss it?

modpack.jar is supposed to be a separate file. it is merged into minecraft.jar by the launcher using black java magic when you load the pack.

this is the wrong place for this, but seeing as how this issue can be hard to fix, check out this thread: forums.technicpack.net/threads/max-memory-stuck-455-mb.48766/ specifically the very end where the guy solves his issue. if you are on windows 7, the place the guy got to is accessed like so: start -> right click on computer -> properties -> advanced system settings(on the left) -> environment variables (at the bottom right) -> scroll through system variables until you find _JAVA_OPTIONS and delete it. if that does not exist, then you're setting your max memory too high.

this is a typesetter's nightmare.

forge is only possible because of how java works in the first place. it's not nearly so easy to decompile C++ code (doable, but not easy). it's way easier to say "just port forge" than it would be to actually do it. much of its functionality is also dependent on java features like reflection, which isn't really a think in C++ last I checked. it's a lot more complicated than it sounds or looks. even then, it would not be 90% done as mods would have to either become native DLLs, or forge would have to pull some shenanigans to load java code and cause untold performance issues by doing so. I won't say that it would kill modding, but it would throw a massive wet blanket on it. also, java is a language, not an engine. you don't say that X game is running the C/C++ engine, even if the game is written in C/C++. as someone else mentioned already, minecraft does use its' own engine. that engine is written in java. all that being said, the chance of the game being rewritten in C++ or whatever is pretty much 0, so who cares.

horrible illegal modpack. kankermax is clearly the lowest form of scum. simply the worst.

the servers get hammered on weekends due to the sheer number of people playing. I won't say it's uncommon because it happens every so often, but it isn't frequent and I'm sure Top Men are working to improve the experience for everyone during heavy load periods even as we speak. hang in there and it will be much better shortly. edit: it's probably worse recently because of hexxit's release. the curse of popularity.

it's both right now. from what I understand, 1.6 changed a lot of things that impact our launcher so it has to be updated (this is either already happening or done by now, I'm not sure) but also most mods are not updated yet. I'm not even sure there is an optifine for 1.6 at this point, but I haven't looked so who knows. also, don't sign your posts.

that would explain the double memory options. I was going to try going there next if the command line stuff didn't work, glad you found and fixed the issue.

sorry, there's no space between -Xmx/s and the number. should be like -Xmx2G -Xms1G. probably should have googled that or something instead of going from memory. also, just use java when going from command line, javaw doesn't tend to like it. if that errors, try 1024M and 2048M instead of 1G and 2G respectively. if that STILL doesn't work, we can try something else.

it isn't easy, and it isn't simple. it's easy to say, not easy to do. tell me, would you like to dig through tens of thousands of platform packs and check to see if they have "too many complaints"? how many is too many? 1? 15? 3? what if it's not all complaints? what if it's only +2? do you have that kind of free time? none of us do, that's for sure. let me give you an example that's relevant: server posts. certain server sections are moderated with strictly enforced post guidelines. all posts made are hidden until approved/rejected by a moderator/admin at which point they either show up or get deleted. we get tons of these every single day. you want to know how soul sucking it is to clear that queue? extremely. what you are asking is much worse than even that. you are asking a bunch of people who get no pay and are doing what they're doing purely out of passion for the game to undertake a herculean effort on top of what they already do. you want to talk about this "issue", this is us talking about it. the complaints you see are not related to the technic packs or anyone who does anything for technic. there will be no QA for platform packs, even if you see 100 times more complaints. you have a very, VERY narrow view of the issue and absolutely no perspective. congratulations, we've had your discussion.

windows' idea of what memory is being used and the JVM's idea of what memory is available are not 1 and the same. so yes, I see it. it doesn't actually matter.

people use dropbox for 2 reasons: 1) it's free. you don't need mommy's credit card to get a dropbox account. 2) it's easy (mostly). the people making these packs are not computer gurus, they hardly know what they're doing most of the time when it comes to technical stuff. chances are, they don't even realize that dropbox has a limit and even if they do, there's little they can do about it because file hosting without low bandwidth caps generally costs some amount of money (it's actually not much, but if you're <18 with no credit/debit card it may as well be $5 million). this isn't a problem with technic. when you open the flood gates like the platform does, you are inevitably going to get a lot of chaff along with the wheat. if you want a reliable and stable modpack experience, use an official technic pack. anything else and you are at the mercy of whoever authored the pack. what I get out of your posts is that you want a very specific pack to work, and you want the technic team to fix it so that it does because clearly, if you want it badly enough they are required to do something about it. I'm sorry, it does not work that way.

just noticed this in the log file posted: it's got two -Xmx arguments being passed in and the lower one is winning. try the manual memory thing, it may work if this is the problem.

well you certainly seem to have java setup correctly, so that rules out the easy fixes. try this: create a batch file to run the launcher with manually configured memory limits. it should look something like this: mkdir rtemp java -Xmx 2G -Xms 1G -jar TechnicLauncher.exe place this bat file, and techniclauncher.exe in %appdata%\.technic\ and run the bat file. see if that works. also, if the console spits out any errors aside from the out of memory ones it will eventually throw if this didn't work, post them here

make doubly sure you're using the 64-bit version of java. a lot of times it will use 32-bit even though 64-bit is installed. start up the launcher and then open task manager (ctrl+alt+del > show task manager, or right click on the start bar and click task manager). go to the processes tab and find java.exe in the list. if it has a "*32" at the end, it's actually 32-bit java being used. also, allocating anything over 2gb of ram is massive overkill and can actually lower performance. if it's not working with that much, more won't help.

that sounds pretty sexy actually. store all your shit compactly with AE, use LP to access it from anywhere. it's great when mods play nice together.

while I'm not familiar with the integration between the two, I know that both those mods are amazing and worth having. I say check it out, you'll probably love it.

do any of us look like the author of that modpack? custom packs don't have the same kind of support official technic packs do. chances are that the pack creator fucked something up, either not zipping the pack correctly or telling the platform to look for it in the wrong place. either way, you'd have to talk to the pack author. edit: and if you're a author, then you fucked something up. try looking through the platform pagoda section for some insight.

glad to hear it.

this really is a terrible place to look for virus removal advice. by that I mean the entire forum here, seeing as how we're a minecraft community and not really aimed at technical support. however, OP did get actually useful advice so maybe it worked out for him. who knows?

I've never used one, the anti-static wraps that is. just hold things be the edges and you're usually fine. as far as how to do it, cases come with installation diagrams usually to show you where to screw things in, etc. same for CPUs and other stuff. for the most part it's pretty self explanitory as long as you can fit card A into slot B and know which cards go in what slots. you can probably find some decent tutorials on youtube I would imagine.

I was gonna reply and say this, but simpleguy beat me to it.

funny story: I got my older brother to pick the game up. today I received a long rant about how much the first mission owns him and how bullshit he thinks the game is. apparently he went and watched a bunch of youtube videos and stuff and STILL can't beat mission 1 with an excalibur warframe. I laughed.
