Sorry for the large delay, I have been away.

 

Normally this means that you messed up the .zip. Make sure you called it modpack.jar and set the compression method to .zip. Refer to the second post in this thread for direction on setting it up properly.

I just got the lord of the rings modpack 1.6.2 that PixelmonBoss9558, and it loaded in vanilla 1.7.4. However, hexxit loaded as hexxit when I tested it. What should I do?

[PolymerBoy]

Oops I meant that PixelmonBoss9558 made

[PolymerBoy]

Never mind it's working now

This should replace the main technic modpack guide

Thats not the right report. The FML report is far more informative on what mods conflicted, and if you suspect more than two mods are conflicting you should install and test the pack one mod addition at a time to avoid the issue. It is very difficult to find the issues when more than 2 mods are conflicting.

I see I am sorry I got it wrong where do I get the correct report?

Well this report is HUGE so I used pastebin I hope that helps

By the way I seen your Birtday is on the 28 mines on the 26th Happy Birth Day, and have an awesome 18th birthday celebrate it good man!!!!!

[lukeb28]

Have you tried installing the mods one by one yet? Thats one mess of an error report...

[awsomeaassasin]

How do you get forge in a win-rar file? All I can find is a .jar.  P.S: I'm using 1.6.4.

You don't, you get it as a jar.

[plowmanplow]

I am constantly reminding folks of this when they ask for help so I figured it might be good to remind new pack makers. The "modpack.jar" (especially when making 1.6.4 packs) is simply the Forge universal download renamed to "modpack.jar". There is no need to extract it and re-make it. Just rename the thing and put it in your "bin" folder.

Now this makes a lot more sense.

This is exactly what I'm doing. I go to http://www.minecraftforge.net/forum/index.php/topic,14059.0.html and DL the universal .jar. I rename it modpack.jar, and stick it in the bin folder. Zip everything up, upload, link to the upload in the Technic site, DL in the launcher and.... get vanilla 1.6.4 Minecraft. ARGH.

[plowmanplow]

darkthought: I'll need a link to your pack page to diagnose a problem.

@darkthought: For future reference, questions/help on specific modpacks should probably be started in Platform Pagoda.

 

• Your pack archive has everything in a subfolder. All the primary folders (bin, config, mods, etc.) need to be in the top level of the archive.
• Your modpack.jar is named "modpack.jar.jar". It must be named "modpack.jar".
• You have an old version of Forge (B#953) as your modpack.jar. Update to the latest version (B#965).
• You have NEI but none of the addons/plugins. You probably want those.
• You have MMMPS but not MMMPS Addons. You probably want that.
• Your MMMPS recipes are in the mods folder. Those belong in config/machinemuse/recipes.

Other than that it looks great. Kudos for including config files!

Tried lastnight to setup account. Clicked the process to establish public share. Was given two options. Pay or Pay. I chose option 3 and nuked account.
