Technic Launcher fails to setup client libraries and crashes for MC1.8 Forge 1.8-Forge11.14.0.1245

[kreezxil]

I get the following error/crash when I try to activate my modpack via the technic launcher, I even tried it with the new jenkins build to no good effect.

You're missing libraries. Use forge's installer to obtain them

[plowmanplow]

Yes, there are libraries missing, or not included in the class path. No, just downloading the libraries does not fix the problem. After a bit of messing around it looks like the list of libraries in the version.json file included with the universal Forge builds for 1.8 does not include:

• log4j-api 2.0-beta9
• log4j-core 2.0-beta9
• guava 17
• authlib 1.5.17
• gson 2.2.4
• lwjgl, lwjgl_util, lwjgl-platform 2.9.1
• commons-lang3 3.3.2
• commons-compress 1.8.1
• commons-io 2.4
• netty-all 4.0.15.Final
• trove4j 3.0.3
• paulscode
• icu4j-core-mojang 51.2
• vecmath 1.5.2

Simply downloading these libraries into Technic's cache folder does not help. They need to be included in the class path. Adding the following to the version.json file in the modpack.jar (Forge universal JAR) adds them to the class path and downloads them if they aren't there:

    {
      "name": "org.apache.logging.log4j:log4j-api:2.0-beta9"
    },
    {
      "name": "org.apache.logging.log4j:log4j-core:2.0-beta9"
    },
    {
      "name": "com.google.guava:guava:17.0"
    },
    {
      "name": "com.mojang:authlib:1.5.17"
    },
    {
      "name": "com.google.code.gson:gson:2.2.4"
    },
    {
      "name": "org.lwjgl.lwjgl:lwjgl:2.9.1"
    },
    {
      "name": "org.lwjgl.lwjgl:lwjgl_util:2.9.1"
    },
    {
      "name": "org.lwjgl.lwjgl:lwjgl-platform:2.9.1",
      "natives": {
        "linux": "natives-linux",
        "windows": "natives-windows",
        "osx": "natives-osx"
      },
      "extract": {
        "exclude": [
          "META-INF/"
        ]
      }
    },
    {
      "name": "org.apache.commons:commons-lang3:3.3.2"
    },
    {
      "name": "org.apache.commons:commons-compress:1.8.1"
    },
    {
      "name": "commons-io:commons-io:2.4"
    },
    {
      "name": "io.netty:netty-all:4.0.15.Final"
    },
    {
      "name": "net.sf.trove4j:trove4j:3.0.3"
    },
    {
      "name": "com.paulscode:codecjorbis:20101023"
    },
    {
      "name": "com.paulscode:codecwav:20101023"
    },
    {
      "name": "com.paulscode:libraryjavasound:20101123"
    },
    {
      "name": "com.paulscode:librarylwjglopenal:20100824"
    },
    {
      "name": "com.paulscode:soundsystem:20120107"
    },
    {
      "name": "com.ibm.icu:icu4j-core-mojang:51.2"
    },
    {
      "name": "java3d:vecmath:1.5.2"
    }

After making this change (now included in the BareBonesPack) the launcher starts up Forge 1.8 successfully.

 

Edit: I must have gotten some wires crossed when I built this the first time. I obviously missed most of the libraries. Should be fixed now.

where in the file do you put this i have tryed and nothing 

 

also the barebones pack with 1.8 selected only gives me vanilla no forge

How about that. You are correct. Looking into it now.

[plowmanplow]

Wow, I really messed that up the first time around. Try the BareBonesPack again. Make sure you update the settings to #1273p.
