[TheCreeperx98]

Well, it downloads the jars and the native folder and then when it tries to download my file it gives me this error:

urls typically don't like spaces in them, replace any spaces in your URL with %20 and see how that works

ie: https://dl.dropbox.com/s/xve37wv5uuzhdva/Science%20%26%20Magic.rar?m

hope that helps ... also.. .rars ? dunno if thats supported or not, use .zip just to be safe

Ok thanks! It downloads it now without an error, but how come it doesnt really install any files into my game? It gives me things like coremods and bin but coremods has nothing in it and bin doesn't have my modpack.jar, it runs as vanilla MC

my file is setup like this

Science & Magic.zip

--> bin

--> coremods

--> Mods

--> config

try using a zip file instead of .rar i am not 100% sure that those are supported(if they are i apologize)

It still does the same

if you open the folder you installed it to, did it actually extract the mods/coremods/config folders? if it did, maybe the mod pack.jar is the issue

i can't download from the link, so i cant check your modpack.jar :(

No, it doesnt even import the file from my mods folder, all it has is empty config coremods saves temp resources and bin(Bin is not empty, but it onyl has the vanilla items in it.)

if you are wondering i'm using the latest forge build version

[thevortex]

can you provide a link to the mod pack?

i am getting errors when i try to unzip the file, try making your archive again, ensure its a zip ( i have downloaded it several times to be sure)

Alright done, new download link is...

i get a file that is 52MB, but i get errors everytime i try to extract it, are you 100% sure this file is not corrupted?(or did you make it as a rar then rename it to a zip?)

[TheCreeperx98]

Do you have anyway it could get corrupted?

And no, when i turn the files into an archive i saved it as a .zip file

Also, extracting works fine for me, I also check for file errors, there were none

[thevortex]

thats a rar file dude please use a zip file

(from the file header for proof)

Rar!^Z^G^@ϐs^@^@

first few bytes of the file header indicate this is RAR not ZIP

I got it to download my files! but it is still Vanilla

Here is the working link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/76fh7cq16xihzoi/Science&Magic.zip?m

(I am to belive this is to a cause of a bad forge version?) Correct me if i'm wrong

your mod pack.jar is a rar file too make it a zip then rename to jar

[TheCreeperx98]

oh okay

[TheCreeperx98]

Never mind i got it working! Thanks for all your help!

[VIP_SHADOWZ_666]

i did that and its still goes vanilla

[thevortex]

everything looks correct now, modpack.jar is in proper format(visual inspection only, i cant actually test installation where i am at right now, but the zips are valid now! ) , have you updated your link in the platform URL ?

Would you mind posting steps to how you resolved this problem? Was it simply that the modpack.jar was actually a .rar file?

[thevortex]

awesome! GL with your pack
