Help with Technic Platform.

[zoshea]

I am new to modpacks, and was wondering if somebody could help me out. I downloaded a zip file of a modpack that works together in the videos. I try to create a new one when I open the launcher, but it says I need a valid Technic Platform Delivery URL. What does this mean? How do I fix this? Could somebody please help me. Thanks.

3 easy steps:

1. Upload your zip file to a hosting site such as dropbox.

2. On your edit Modpack page on technicpack.net, put the download link in the "Modpack Location" box. Make sure it's a direct link, which is https://dl.dropbox... instead of https://www.dropbox.... for example.

3. Go to the main page for your pack (Not the edit page) That URL at the top is what you put into the launcher.

Thanks a lot, but now it's saying it is having trouble unzipping it. Any idea on that one?

Hmm. I've never had that particular issue myself, but maybe you could try changing the settings on the archiving program? Higher quality zips, that kind of stuff. I think there are some tips in this thread:
