Uh oh, apparently my modpack didnt install forge?

So when I downloaded my modpack and installed it Minecraft vanilla loaded. Any idea why?
 

Now I don't have anything that can take pictures with nor do I want to install anything so I'll just type my problem.

 

The modpack was designed and created on the Atlauncher. Now I'm not entirely sure what's different between it and technic but I'll explain where certain mods are at.

• The modpack installed in the correct director. I have Forge located in a folder called jar mods. Optifine is located in there as well. For the Atlauncher, this is the correct place.
• Core mod folder is empty
• The bin does have a Minecraft win rar file, unmodified
• No modpack rar file
• config is filled.
• core mods is empty and unsused

The mod was in a zip file and installed in the correct location.

That's all I really see important. If you need more information I will tell.

This thread by Plowman explains how to setup for technic launcher:

 

​You linked the wrong thread. This explains how to get server files working. This thread is about why when my modpack downloaded onto the technic platform it launched vanilla Minecraft instead of modded with forge.

May have just solved it. Apparently technic requires a file called Modpack in the bin.  this is different from the Atlauncher where you need a folder called Jar mods.

Time to upload that 415mb file....
