[Cheezbud]

Your modpack is not configured properly and does not provide a URL to add into the Launcher. Follow the link you provided and take note of the giant red warning box.

[Cheezbud]

oh right, thank you

[Cheezbud]

i followed the link and it showed no big red warning for me. i did all i can think of for it to work. i am new to making modpacks.

[plowmanplow]

This pack will not show in the modpack index until it is properly configured. Either set a URL for a zip or configure Solder.

Your download URL is invalid.

[Cheezbud]

im not 100% how to do this personally, me and a friend did try testing it and we never had a message like that

[plowmanplow]

Please provide the contents of the box labeled "Modpack Location" from the settings page of your modpack.

• Your modpack.jar file is broken. It is in RAR instead of the required ZIP format. The modpack.jar file is simply the Forge universal binary JAR file renamed to modpack.jar. Don't mess with it at all other than that.
• Better Dungeons/Chocolate Quest is not installed properly. You are missing the top level Chocolate folder. Please redownload the mod and follow the instructions.
• Your Optifine is woefully out of date. This will likely cause problems.
• IDFixMinus is not intended to be distributed with a modpack. You should use it to fix your ID conflicts then remove it before assembling your modpack archive.

Fix these issues and come back if you still have troubles.

ah i see, thank you so much for the help

[Cheezbud]

ok so i did all of that but now when i click play it close's the launcher then loads it back up.

From your ForgeModLoader-client-0.log:

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Duplicate enchantment id

This post on fixing ID conflicts may help you:

 

Opinion: (feel free to ignore)

You are doing yourself a disservice by creating a 1.6.4 modpack at this stage in the game. Development in 1.6.4 has basically stalled and you will get at best a couple maintenance releases (and those only in a few mods). If you are making a new pack you would likely be better suited by creating a 1.7.10 modpack.

[Cheezbud]

ohh right now i get it now thank you, i have looked into 1.7.10 but i decided 1.6 as the mods are more up to date

[Cheezbud]

did it say what ID it was by any chance?

[plowmanplow]

You can alter your AM2 config file thusly:

enchantments {
    I:magic_resist=120
    I:soulbound=124
}

Should fix the enchantment ID conflict.

 

Also: Your BetterDungeons/ChocolateQuest mod is not installed correctly. Open the ZIP file and follow the instructions.
