Thanks, I'll try and do the same thing on the original file, and add the mods one by one to see if I can find the problem. :)

Here's the link: http://www.technicpack.net/api/modpack/saamozcraft Excuse the bad artwork, after I get the pack to work, that's next on the to-do list.

The way I did it, is that I downloaded Minecraft Forge Recommended for 1.5.2 version 7.8.1.737, then I put it in a zip and made that zip a jar. I know it's in a jar because the icon is different, the type is executable jar file, and I have to select open with and choose WinRAR to open it.

Ok, so I understand that bit, but that still doesn't explain why my modpack opens in Vanilla. According to what you said, the files and everything were correct, but when I open the pack, the bottom left of the screen only says Minecraft 1.5.2, there is no mods folder, and no mods are actually seen in game, not even on the creative tabs. I know this is not supposed to happen, so does anyone know why?

But I've looked in both files as they've downloaded and the Vanilla Minecraft .jar is missing the folders and files from the modpack.jar AKA forge. Even in the META-INF folder, which both copies have, one contains files named MOJANG.whatever, and the modpack.jar contains FORGE.whatever. None of the files from modpack.jar are merging, copying, transferring, or caring in any way.

Your problem is that there is a Modpack folder in the zip. Your supposed to have the bin, config, coremods, and mods folder directly in the zip, not in another folder in the zip. When you open it, make sure you see the four folders and not the one folder containing them. Hope it helps:)

But that's the thing! I think I have some outdated magic because the files are not merging.

I have recently tried to make a custom modpack. At first, it didn't download from Dropbox properly, and I had absolutely no idea what was wrong. The next day i tried to show one of my friends the problem... and it worked. I don't know why, but I'm not complaining, but now I have a different problem my pack opens in vanilla. When I checked the .technic file, all the mods, coremods, and everything else had downloaded properly. On a closer examination, it seemed that the modpack.jar did not go into the minecraft.jar properly. There it was, sitting 2 cemtimetres away from success, and I could have moved it manually, but I wanted everyone who downloaded this pack to be able to have it plug and play, and no one else seems to have this issue, so why do I? I'm probably making some silly mistake somewhere along the line, and if anyone knows what I have done incorrectly, it would be much appreciated.
