Launcher not starting or installing.

[Thimerit]

Launcher Version: 1.0.1.3

Operating System: Windows 7 Enterprise 64 Bit

Java Version: JRE 1.7u4 (Win 64bit)

Antivirus Program: ESET Smart Security 5

Description of Problem:

I just downloaded the techniclauncher.exe from your website, I start it up, shows "Checking Launcher Version" and immediately closes. Yes, I am aware this is in the FAQ and among the things I've tried, nothing has worked for me so far!

I tried downloading the java on the website, updated the java app in case it wasnt 64 bit. Sadly, this didn't change anything for me.

I move the techniclauncher.exe on my desktop, same problem.

I do have the .techniclauncher folder in my %appdata% map, however, everything that is there is the .jar file, but what am I supposed to do with it? I replaced minecraft.jar with it and renamed it, but no luck. Nothing seems to make the launcher.. launch?

If any of you could help me out, would mean a great deal to me, thanks!

Fixed it with fiddling about, apparantly I was supposed to double-click the .jar file. Alright, got that working!

Now all I need to fix is a world without textures, everything is in a blue hue.

Try checking your render distance under video settings. For some reason the last time I updated it set my render distance to negative 30 or something by default. It has to be positive for it to render anything.

[Thimerit]

Yep, now all that is working, thanks!

I wonder though, where is the custom texture pack for the Tekkit pack? I only got the default but no texture pack?

you have to download them. the sphax BD one is available on the texture packs forums as far as i am aware. just browse around for them on here for like painterly ones or something, although i definitely recommend the sphax one if you can run it. it comes in 32x and 64x, and the mod pack comes with optifine installed in Technic 6 for minecraft 1.1, the rec. version. the instructions for installing that Texture pack is on the forum post that has the texture download.

[Thimerit]

Ah, good, just one problem. Adf.ly is acting up for me and I cannot download anything from it. (I just get a white page?) and so the Sphax BD texture pack is unavailable for me on his website. Is there an alternative link?

I have a similar problem - I try to start tekkit but the Technic Launcher just stays there and won't move AT ALL!!!!! I MEAN THAT!!!!!

[Thimerit]

Well, I still have problems with adfly. Can someone provide me with a direct link for a 256x256 texture pack for BDcraft?

on the tp website it should also have a link to a planetminecraft post. i think there is a directdownload there if not reply and ill help find one

[Thimerit]

That link forwards me back to the website adf.ly link. It's quite annoying... I don't see any direct links =/

When I use ad.fly it says Page is Loading but never really loads anything, it just gets stuck right there.

Anyone? Dying for the texture pack :"(
