Custom Modpack loading in Vanilla

[Tfar]

I am making a custom modpack for my friends and myself to play with.  I've made 2 modpacks on the technic platform (one of which is down temporarily - fixing after I deal with this one).  I did everything correctly (I know this because I did it just as I did the other two modpacks).  Anyway, I downloaded the modpack and ran it.  It loaded in Vanilla.  I tested it 10 times, and all 10, the same thing happened each time.

 

Here is the modpack zip file (you'll have to manually click the download button) - https://copy.com/XRlpoHRIrF1ccGmE

 

I made certain it's a public file and everything, so it's not that.  I looked in the folder, and there was a mods folder with all the mods.  Here is a link to the file (C:\Users\Nick\AppData\Roaming\.technic\modpacks): https://copy.com/Z2rD9pdvhGGcR2hw  

 

If you need logs, just tell me which logs you need, and I'll copy/paste them in.  Thanks.

Is your launch.bat using your renamed forge-universal.jar or the vanilla minecraft.jar?

Always provide the API URL for the modpack or a link to the pack's details page.

I don't know.  I just hit the 'play' button on the technic launcher.

Always provide the API URL for the modpack or a link to the pack's details page.

Can you explain further?  I'm new to making modpacks.

I can make a video to better explain what's going on if it helps...

The modpack API URL is the URL which gets copied to the clipboard when you click the "Install this pack" button on the pack details page. The URL for the pack details page should be self evident (it is the URL in the browser when you are sitting on the pack details page).

In your case:

• Pack details page: http://technicpack.net/modpack/age-of-imperialism-aoi.685998
• API URL: http://api.technicpack.net/modpack/age-of-imperialism-aoi

Modpack analysis:

• Any time you change the download location URL or the contents of your modpack archive the pack version number must be incremented. Try incrementing the pack version.
• You have the Titan content pack for Flan, but not the required dependency Mech Parts Pack. (the game will crash if you try to access any Mech stuff without this).
• Having file version numbers (i.e. the (2) in the CodeChickenCore file name) in the names of your mods is bad. Remove the version number as this sometimes causes issues.
• Your IC2 mod is from an illegitimate source. Always get your mods directly from the mod authors. For example, IC2 comes from here: http://ic2api.player.to:8080/job/IC2_experimental/
