SethAten Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 As mentioned on IRC, I'ma post my suggestion here on the forum. Seems like the best place soo... The custompacks should link to a yml, not a zip(though zip could be kept for backwards-compat I suppose) and an example custompack.yml is as follows: recommended: 1.0.1 latest: 1.0.2 resources: http://mysite.com/modpack/resources/ builds: 1.0.2: minecraft: 1.4.6 packzip: http://mysite.com/modpack/modpack-1.0.2.zip md5: b24db5c8391ec5c5d93cd0ac083acbdf 1.0.1: minecraft: 1.4.5 packzip: http://mysite.com/modpack/modpack-1.0.1.zip md5: 3accddf64b1dd03abeb9b0b3e5a7ba44 Resources would be a link containing the logo and icons, the builds quite obvious, though MD5 could be optional to make it easy on people. Builds would be a single zip file, just as it is now, and the minecraft version is referenced so that techniclauncher can apply the pack to the proper version. In fact, players could also choose [modpack] versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freakachu Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 that actually seems like it would be pretty cool, and useful as well. I know I wouldn't mind seeing something like this implemented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum Administrators KakerMix Posted January 18, 2013 Forum Administrators Share Posted January 18, 2013 This is for serious being all talked about, kissed upon, and butt'd at at this moment. Don't lose faith dearest SethAten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miniboxer Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 You should do it in technic launcher 2. Make it seem like an even larger leap forward! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RebelNode Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 I like this. Another idea (thought maybe even harder to implement): do magnet links to packs. So that when I click a link on a server thread my browser suggests to open it in technic launcher, which then downloads the pack and installs it for the user. Probably works in Windows only, but then again that's about everyone anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewdonshik Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 This would make updating/my life so much easier, but can we get auto-updating while we're at it? (Auto clear of custom1) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lethosos Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Magnet links will need to handle silly adfly links, tho. Edit: Oh, silly me, didn't quite read that correctly. Ignore me, carry on my wayard son. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
