Technic 7.3.4 fails to download mincraft.jar

[vladsnakedragon]

Launcher Version: 1.0.1.3 (latest from website)

Operating System: Windows 7 Ultimate X64

Java Version: Latest x64 and x32 bit builds

Antivirus Program: AVG (disabled for this)

Description of Problem:

Launching a fresh installer (latest from website), with AVG Disabled, and attempting to download the dev-build for Technic 7.3.4, the launcher downloads the minecraft.jar file to 99/100%, before crashing with "update failed".

Pulling the logs, appears to show that the launcher is trying to aquire 1.4.4 build of the game, where the current build uses 1.4.2

I have fully deleted (well, renamed and backed-up) the .techniclauncher folder, so this is from scratch completely.

Error Messages:

Update Failed

I've noticed this same problem too. However, after I tried to download the latest version, all other versions gave me a "update failed" error. Odd...

[dylancwp]

[Poe1075]

[16:41:34] [sEVERE]    Exiting the Technic Launcher

another note: i've been looking around and read this thread: http://forums.technicpack.net/threads/update-failed-and-a-solution.29102/

even though at the top it says: If you have this error message this thread won't help, i tried downloading the 1.4.2 minecraft jar like they did for 1.2.5 and putting it in the cache folder, but that didn't help. just thought i'd put this out there, since i don't know much about code

EDIT: I think this is a cause of the 1.4.4 update and the launcher tries to download the wrong jar or something is wrong with the url. Or maybe the downgrade for 1.4.4 doesn't work. just a guess :)

[Teraku]

Same problem. Really annoying.

I think it's because Technic is on version 1.4.2, and the newest Minecraft version is 1.4.4. So they need to include the downgrader as well.

EDIT: It seems downgrading is no longer necessary, as Mojang apparently keeps their files now.

Link: http://assets.minecraft.net/1_4_2/minecraft.jar

All that needs to be done is reference minecraft.jar to that link instead of the latest version.

I tried putting the 1.4.2 jar in the cache folder as minecraft_1.4.2.jar, just as i found the 1.2.5 jar, but that didn't seem to work.

[Teraku]

Yeah, Technic will just ignore whatever is in the cache completely. No way to force it unless you can somehow redirect wherever Technic is getting its minecaft.jar to the link I posted earlier.

[Poe1075]

They'll probably have to change something in the launcher cuz it still tries to download the 1.4.4 jar, like you said. That's probably why it doesn't matter that i have the 1.4.2 jar in the cache. I guess now we just wait, i wouldnt know how to redirect Technic's downloading link.

Edit: I even tried renaming the 1.4.2 jar to 1.4.4 to try to trick it, but that didn't work either

[Kavaniia]

I am also having this issue after going through all the steps mentioned in this forum. I even tried dropping it in the technicssp/bin folder with all three names (Minecraft.jar, _1.4.2, and _1.4.4) but no dice. A friend of mine managed to download it no problems, but we're still trying to figure out how that happened.

How did that happen This thread seems to be in the right direction and has more people involved, i would move here: http://forums.technicpack.net/threads/update-failed-on-development-build.30716/
