"grep -i" is your friend. That makes it case insensitive.

Yep. The Linux launcher works fine on OS X 10.8.2. There's not much point in dropping it into the the Technic Launcher.app, though, since you can't launch it by double-clicking the app (assuming you're running Mountain Lion and you've got the apple patch that pooched Java for us). See this thread: http://forums.technicpack.net/threads/launcher-crashing-to-desktop-while-installing-modpacks.28315/

Thanks. I'll give that a try later today.

Just to be sure, I downloaded "Technic-Launcher-OSX.zip" on my windows machine and peeked inside. The "technic-launcher-latest.jar" file in the zip is dated Mar. 18, 2012. In fact, nothing in the zip file is newer than that date. It would appear that the OS X launcher has not been updated since March.

Okay, I don't know what else to do, then. I downloaded the latest version for OS X. Perhaps the OS X version has not been updated, yet? Is it possible that there are other artifacts from the previous install laying around that I haven't deleted? Is it sufficient to delete the Technic Launcher.app folder and the ~/Library/Application Support/techniclauncher folder?

In my report above, notice that I said "I installed the latest version". So, unless it changed since yesterday morning, my launcher was not out of date. Nevertheless, I did as you suggested and downloaded Technic-Launcher-OSX.zip from http://www.technicpack.net/download/ again. I wiped my old technic launcher application and the minecraft and techniclauncher folders from my Library/Application Support folder. Then I installed the new version and ran it. No joy. The launcher still creates both a techniclauncher and minecraft directories, and it says it's only loaded 3 mods (exactly the same as above). Fortunately, I have a time machine backup of a working installation, and it is still working fine. Either the launcher has changed or the minecraft jar it downloads has changed recently. It's possible this only happens on Macs.

Already found a work-around, FWIW. If I copy the mods and config files into the minecraft folder. I can get it to work. I also noticed that the "Quit" button on the splash screen is gone. Something definitely changed from the version I was using yesterday.

Launcher Version: Technic Launcher Build 0.5.4.9 Operating System: OS X - Mountain Lion 10.8.2 Java Version: 1.6.0_37 64-bit Antivirus Program: None. Description of Problem: I wanted to start with a fresh install, so I wiped my old Technic Launcher.app and my ~/Library/Application Support/techniclauncher folder. I installed the latest version of the launcher this morning. I selected the Tekkit pack from the launcher screen. When I login, everything appears to run normally, all mods are downloaded and installed, but when it fires up Minecraft, I noticed that only 3 mods were found. I looked in ~/Library/Application Support, and now I see that a techniclauncher and a minecraft folder were created and some files were put in the minecraft folder. I wiped both directories and reinstalled the launcher, but I had the same results. Any work-around for this? Error Messages: Minecraft splash screen (where you select "Singleplayer" "Multiplayer" etc) says "3 mods loaded" Error Log: [18:44:12] [sEVERE] ------------------------------------------ [18:44:12] [sEVERE] Launcher is starting....

Apologies. That was a typo in my post. The first line of the script should read: #!/bin/bash I missed the first forward slash on the path. I've fixed it on my original post.

There's good progress on getting LWJGL working on OSX with Java 7: http://lwjgl.org/forum/index.php?PHPSESSID=nc0iiec7iius79ue1uroinobh6&topic=4711.30

Sorry, stopped in mid-sentence above. Where I said: "You're done with the Terminal. You can close it. Now you can start Technic Launcher..." It should say: Now you can start the Technic Launcher by double clicking on "TechnicLauncherScript" in Applications. Sorry about that.

One thing to note. My script will leave a terminal window open on your desktop after it launches Technic. You can safely close it once the Technic Launcher is running. And one more thing - this will work only until Apple removes java 1.6. Apologies if this was mentioned elsewhere: Does TechnicLauncher/Minecraft work if Java 7 is the only JRE installed on the system?

Okay, here's some instructions on how to create a script and get an alias on your desktop. Text you should enter into the terminal are in italics below to separate them from instructions. Key presses are in bold. Keypresses separated by a "-" mean that you should hold down the first key while pressing the second key. Apologies to those experienced on Macs, I'm probably committing several atrocities here. Open up Terminal (press Alt-Space and start typing "Terminal" until it's found, then press Enter). Enter this: cd /Applications sudo pico TechnicLauncherScript You'll be asked for a password. Just enter your Mac login password. The pico editor will open up. Copy and paste the following into the editor (to copy and past, select the italic text below, then press Command-c, then click in the Terminal window, then press Command-v or you can just use the "Copy" and "Paste" commands in the menu) #!/bin/bash PATH=/System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Home/bin:$PATH cd /Applications/Technic\ Launcher.app/Contents/Resources/launcher java -jar technic-launcher-latest.jar To save the file and close the editor, press Ctrl-o, Enter, then Ctrl-x. This will save the file and close the editor and leave you back at the terminal prompt. Now you've got a launcher script in your Applications folder, but it won't be executable yet. Here's how we fix that. Enter the following in the Terminal window. sudo chmod +x TechnicLauncherScript You might be asked for a password again. If so, enter your Mac login password again. That marks your script as executable. You're done with the Terminal. You can close it. Now you can start the Technic Launcher by double clicking on "TechnicLauncherScript" in Applications. The rest of these instructions are just a convenience if you want to have a link to the launcher on your desktop. Open a Finder window and browse to the Applications folder. You should see it under "Favorites" in the left side of the Finder window. Scroll down until you find "TechnicLauncherScript". Right-click (or click with two fingers on your touchpad) on the TechnicLauncherScript file. A menu will appear. Select "Make Alias". You should see a new file in your application window called "TechnicLauncherScript alias". Drag this to your desktop (with your touchpad, click and hold on the file with one finger, drag it with a second finger). You'll now have a link on your desktop. Let me know if that works for you. I'm not sure how much variability there is with different versions of OSX. Perhaps some more experienced Mac folks can contribute a more elegant and simple solution.

I got it to work. Pull up Terminal and enter the following: PATH=/System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Home/bin:$PATH cd /Applications/Technic Launcher.app/Contents/Resources/launcher java -jar technic-launcher-latest.jar ...and everything works. That's not too practical for non-techies, but it's a proof-of-concept. It shows that you just need to get the right Java in the system path and everything will work. This could be done in a bash script with an alias on the desktop. I'll post complete instructions in a while.

I found some more information: Finding the default JRE on OSX: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/webnotes/install/mac/mac-install-faq.html#version Determining the default version of the JDK: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/webnotes/install/mac/mac-jdk.html#version Determining the installed version of the JRE: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/webnotes/install/mac/mac-jre.html#version These methods are probably not reliable any more, especially the last one that relies on the JavaAppletPlugin.plugin link. You can't change that any more. Once you've installed the Oracle JRE/JDK 7, it's going to point there. There is no alternative because Apple's Java 6 doesn't even have a JavaAppletPlugin any more. I think the only short-term alternative is for Technic Launcher to look for Java in known locations on the Mac. The other issue is that Apple's clearly phasing out their own version of Java. I doubt that you can even install the Apple Java if you don't have it already (Can anyone confirm that?). I wouldn't be surprised if a later update removes it completely. Then you'll only be able to use Oracle's Java 7. Once they do that, I can safely say my applications don't support Java 6 on Macs. In the meantime, I'll have to keep testing with it. How does Technic locate the default Java? Are y'all just using the system path? If that's the case, we might be able to get it working by launching Technic from a script that temporarily puts Apple's Java 6 first.
