Why is my Custom modpack vanilla?

Why is my custom modpack vanilla? I'm confused, please help! (BTW I love the new system!!)

Most likely because you got the /bin/modpack.jar wrong

How? my folders are:

bin

modpack.jar

configs

coremod

bin

modpack.jar

Does this mean that your modpack.jar is in the root directory, if so then that is your problem, it needs to be in the bin dir

hence "/bin/modpack.jar"

Well here are a list of problems with your pack

1. You need a direct download link (dl.dropbox.com) for the client
   
2. This is a rar file, the launcher can only unpack zip files
   
3. It's suppose to be config, not configs
   
4. It's suppose to be coremods, not coremod
   
5. You have packed the minecraft.jar which is piracy - The launcher will download minecraft.jar
   
6. You have packed Plasmacraft-0.3.3.zip twice
   
7. You have packed the matmos download and the matmos mod, this may cause issues with FML
   
8. You have not generated any of the config files, there may be unresolved ID conflicts
   

WARNING: Dropbox will shutdown your direct links if your traffic exceeds their limits

omg thanks! also, how do you generate config files (i followed you FYI)

[Maxis010]

how do you generate config files

Run the pack, it will generate the config files as each mod is loaded, if it does not load (gray screen or crash) then check the log files of the launcher and your pack for an error stack, if you encounter an ID conflict the stack will tell you which mod caused the error and which item in that mod, change the ID via the newly generated config files and try again

Some mods have not received the 4096 patch so if you set the ID over 4096 you may receive an out of bounds error, just use an ID below 4096 if this happens

Errrrm......

[Maxis010]

Run the pack, if forge loads successfully then it will generate configs, just launch your pack then check the logs for errors, then fix them

repeat until all errors are gone
