Force launcher to download updated custom zip?

[jfjohnny5]

I've managed to create a custom modpack and distribute it successfully. But whenever I want to make an update, either updating a mod in the pack or adding a new one, I have to clear the cache within the launcher options to get it to download the custom zip file.

Is there a way to tell the launcher it should redownload the zip? Or is there a way to force it to clear the cache without going in the options manually?

it was my understanding that it should redownload the custom zip if it gets updated. from what you're saying it sounds like that isn't happening. I will try and point someone who actually knows what's up with the launcher code over here.

edit: talked to olloth, it does not auto download the custom zip if it's updated and that is intended behavior.

So the only way to "update" is to manually clear the cache?

seems so.

That's a shame.

So, where's the suggestion box for feature enhancements?

[freakachu]

this is as good a place as any, I suppose.

No suggestions necessary. The new launcher has a solution for this, although I cant share the specifics just yet.

That's the only thing keeping me away from the custom pack so good to know it's coming :)
