Minecraft 1.12.2 Modpack Not Loading Forge

[meraweh]

I've been trying to make a modpack and have looked all over for any way to properly get forge to work. I am not crashing or anything, the game loads fine, but the Forge client doesn't load with it, like it is not recognizing forge at all.

I've made the proper bin and mod folders. I've been using dropbox and enabled the zip files each time, as well as made sure that the end of the share link is 1 instead of 0. I've tried to use the recommended version or 1.12.2 Forge, both from the universal download, the extract from the installer, and even the installer itself. I made sure to rename the files to 'modpack' each time I tested it out. I even went and put all my mods out of the mods file to see if that was the problem, yet it still didn't work properly.

Not sure what exactly I am doing wrong in this case, so some help would be greatly appreciated.

Here is the link to the most latest attempt of mine, just in case it can be helpful: https://www.dropbox.com/s/i1ho52nw77gqmws/Saunoia%201.0%20TEST.zip?dl=1

Modpack is not zipped correctly. Please directly zip the bin/config/mods folder, not the folder they're in.

Also, no mods included other than forge? As you are using the recommended version of Forge, use the installer "as-is".

Oh wow, so that was the issue. x.x It worked, thanks for that.
