Stop Technic Updating

[JZTech101]

I'm really not sure where to post this, but everytime I launch Technic it keeps telling me there is a new update available. Is there anyway to disable this? I have turned on manual build selection yet it continues to bug me.

(I customized Technic 7.2.6 to my liking and updating mods manually.)

If you copy all your files into the Minecraft launcher it will remove this problem. You need to make sure you copy your .modpack files into Minecraft's .minecraft folder though.

Just tried that. When I just copy the files from technicssp to .minecraft, none of the mods load. Then I read that technic launcher merges modpack.jar and minecraft.jar on startup. So I merged it manually. It is now stuck on done loading.

So my new question is how do I manually merge modpack.jar and minecraft.jar?

Here's what I did, in more detail:

• open .technicssp
  
• copy contents of .technicssp
  
• open .minecraft
  
• delete everything inside
  
• paste copied data into .minecraft
  
• open bin in .minecraft
  
• open modpack.jar
  
• copy contents of modpack.jar
  
• open minecraft.jar
  
• delete contents of minecraft.jar
  
• paste copied data into minecraft.jar
  
• delete modpack.jar
  

That's what I did, and it's working fine for me.

Open the launcher, choose options and select "Manual build selection". As long as it's on the version you're using, it will not ask you to update.

Sorry man, I'm not that much of an idiot. (No offense to anyone)

• copy contents of .technicssp
  
• open .minecraft
  
• delete everything inside
  
• paste copied data into .minecraft

• open modpack.jar
  
• copy contents of modpack.jar
  
• open minecraft.jar
  
• delete contents of minecraft.jar
  
• paste copied data into minecraft.jar
  
• delete modpack.jar
  

That's what I did, and it's working fine for me.

Tried that and now I have this error:

If you're just looking to stop it from asking you to update every time you open the launcher, do what I said. It's far easier than merging technicssp into .minecraft.

[JZTech101]

Alright! I have managed to merge TechnicSSP into .Minecraft. Ordeth: If you read my OP, you will realize that I've already turned on Manual build selection.

Anywho Moving on here is how one would merge TechnicSSP into .Minecraft

• open .technicssp
  
• copy contents of .technicssp
  
• open .minecraft
  
• delete everything inside
  
• paste copied data into .minecraft
  
• open bin in .minecraft
  
• open modpack.jar
  
• copy contents of modpack.jar
  
• open minecraft.jar
  
• paste copied data into minecraft.jar
  
• Delete META-INF from minecraft.jar (I did not expect this to be done by the launcher).
  
• delete modpack.jar

The only reason it would continue to bother you after using manual build selection is if you don't have the correct build that you're using selected. It has always and is still working fine for me. I assumed you'd done it wrong.

Sorry bud, but I have never changed from build 7.2.6. It has always been that build from the beginning of my journey in Technic. While I have reinstalled the launcher several times, the .Techniclauncher folder has always just been a copy and paste.
