Some trouble with modpack.jar

[Raziugde]

And so I have followed all the steps to a T. Because yes, that will be everyone's go-to-response for this topic, however, my problem is situated in the fact that despite having correctly, I have tripled checked, followed the directions I yield an in-completion during the installation process.

To be more concise, I have tested out the file

to no avail, this is the modpack as a whole. My problem resets in the modpack.jar not doing its job, so to speak, and loading forge to allow for the reset of the eggs to settling into their nests.

I would love any help!

And most of all, thank you for your time and consideration!

What guides did you follow? What kind of errors are you getting? How many times did you try? What archiver did you use? Did you disable hiding of file extensions? Did you name it modpack.jar without any caps/other formating? Did you set the compression method to best?

If you answered "no" or "I don't know" to ANY of those then you need to repeat your procedure following a guide you have not yet looked at or reread the ones you have. Also, please take a look at "Luke's (Hopefully) Comprehensive modpack making guide". It's sticky'd here and goes into vast detail of making the modpack.jar.

Good sir, I taken the files from forge, placed them into a new zip, compressed, renamed to modpack.jar, and that being the jest of most of the touristic incites I remain in this status quo- a non functioning modpack.jar.

And to answer your cut and paste response, as noted in http://forums.technicpack.net/threads/modpack-jar-fails-to-work-just-vanilla.44930/;

I followed the guides on these forums, as well as the technic site.

I am not getting an error code, just a failure on the part of forge to load the mods/load at all.

Attempts, I would estimate 3 per configuration suggested by each guide, as well as 20+ trail and errors attempts.

Winzip/winrar/7z.

File extensions are visible.

The name verbatim, "modpack.jar"

I have compressed and compressed and always I have nothing to wine about.

So what you're saying is the the modpack.jar fails to do anything?

I have this problem also. I tried to use Volts' modpack.jar, which made it almost work, but the version of Forge was different than what I needed for some of my mods to work.

It was a pun :P

Ah, I see, wine... dang, how did I fail to see that? XD

Still, that was your problem, right?

I'm surprised he didn't call you an idiot too.

As it turns out, I've made a classic mistake. I owe the community an apology.

My bad.

Turns out I overlooked the format and sequestered the files into .rar vs .zip

Thank you everyone for your time!

For the copy past thing, you two were having the EXACT same problem.

Thank you for posting your solution. It helps a lot when others have the same problem.
