Also the modpack downloads to .technic so thats not the issue

I'm having this exact same problem. It seems that it does not want to put the stuff from the zip into the folders like modpack.jar never gets into the bin folder and none of the mods go into the mods folder

Yeah, same issue here. tried everything. my friend got a modpack setup that has almost all the same files, expect it's outdated, and he cant be bothered to update. so im doing it by myself.. but it just downloads the .zip file to temp folder and launches vanilla.

I deleted modpack.jar and threw forge in minecraft.jar and it worked. so i think modpack is the issue here

[JasonAvis]

only problem with that is that is illegal

[Tpaulvc]

Exactly. Now i did that client side so im not sure of the issue tho. its got me beat

When installing forge it is wise to delete the files inside META INF which start with 'mojang' else you might get problems. You can try to do that, but I'm not 100% sure.

[Tpaulvc]

Your supposed to keep the files in forges fml right? Ill try it, another thing i might do is take sombody elses working modpack.jar as a test to see if its something else (i wont keep it cause i have a wierd update to remain compatible with my server)

Ok I just copied another modpack that I made and has been working and tried it in my testpack but it still doesnt work it only launches vanilla. Does anyone know how to fix this?

I created a modpack myself, and it worked fine. But now forge mod loader isn't doing anything, and when the game starts i only get vanilla 1.5.2 ( my mod-pack was 1.4.7). I spend the whole day trying to fix this, it make's me crazy! Does anyone know why forge mod loader isnt working anymore?

Never mind, I figured out what was happening with my modpack.

NB: ensure that you're only zipping the directories (bin, mods, coremods, config) and not the folder they're contained in. They have to be at / in the zip.

To Fix the Vanilla Look HERE.

if you open your modpack.zip if it shows the picture below you did it right.

Now if you open your modpack.zip and it look like this you did it wrong.

It need to be (Modpack.zip/Ben and mods and ect.)

So if your pack is like this(Modpack.zip/modpack/ben and mods and ect.) Then That is wrong

A few users have problems with their custom modpacks and you blame technic for that?

Amazing.

Do you blame google for not giving you Barack Obama's birth certificate aswell?
