Mataroyale is banned for having to word "modpacker" in her name! We all know who the real king of modpack is and she has no right to take the title from our beloved slowpoke!!

Cause he wants to be a cool guy Really though, I'm flabbergasted as to why my guide would have to be replaced by, well I don't know what to call it. A knockoff? Anyways, @OP: if you want to be the guy to help others with a guide, make the guide for something useful that everyone wants, and no one knows about. At the time of my guide, there were at least 7 popular guide posts but all of them craps. I went In to make a definitive guide that was nearly impossible to mess up. There is the odd guy who has an issue but it's normally chalked up to miss interpreting or failing to read a part. I was lucky. Right guide, right information, right time. Right now I don't look and see a need for anything in the community. But once there is demand for something, you need to pounce on it to seize the opportunity. When that time comes, make sure it is what the players want and not some quickly made knockoff guide.

This is the technic launcher, not FTB. Permission is not required. Anyways, this is a guide for building modpacks, not jumping through hoops.

Thats not how it's done. Followed to the letter eh?

Did you name it public or did you get it named public?

Try right clicking on the file and make sure it is in the public folder.

Did you click the file?

Below that tool bar.

Theres the problem! It's not a direct download link! If it was going to that would have started a download but it brought me to a page where I had to press a button to download it. You need the direct download link. To do that, click on the file (In this case your modpack) so that it is highlighted. Then at the top there will be a new tool bar. At the far left of that you will see "Copy public link". Click that and use the URL it gives you.

I know his intentions, just had to tease a little ;)

Post that link, not the one to your modpack's page.

How did you get your link?

No, he put "luke28". I am lukeb28

Paste it into your browser and hit enter. If a download starts then it's right. If a download doesn't, it's wrong. Edit: Its your link. Just checked it and I got a dropbox 404 error.

Wut? Who is this luke28?

Normally that means it was archived in a .rar format. I'd double check that. If that's not the problem then I would double check the direct link. If that's fine, then I imagine you forgot a folder or miss named one like naming "configs" "config" or "mods" "mod". If it's none of those, post the link and I'll take a look at it myself.

Sorry ya, that's right. It's been a while since I last made a pack from scratch. Most of the ones I do now are based off of templates.

Ermm... *Types* *Poof!* I don't know what your talking about?

If you want to have maps in the pack, then you just add the saves folder with all the others when archiving. If you are trying to make a vanilla pack with just your maps then you only archive the saves folder and share it the same way, no need for the mods, coremods, etc. You need to have code chicken core and NEI in the core mods plus the NotEnoughItems file in your mods folder. Everything Dwwojcik said is spot on. Thanks for that!

A single user would be very unlikely to use up dropbox's max unless he's hosting twenty other well used packs with it. I suspect the link itself. Another problem may be packing the wrong files in the wrong way. To help you it would be far easier if we had the link to the modpack so we may see exactly what you have done. It may be as simple as packing the folder containing your main folders or a misspelled file.

Shame on the two of you. Weaponmojo: What packs have you downloaded? Have you tried any of the mainline packs? (Tekkit classic, tekkit lite, tekkit, etc...) Or has this only been happening with user made packs?
