Haxtozous Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 Before any of you say check other forum threads and posts, I did. I followed every instructions and tried every single guide, I made sure it was a direct link, I made sure it was a zip and not a rar,etc... but still im getting this unzipping error. I Apologize if I sound like a douchebag, but its because the last time I attempted to post something like this, I ended up with a private messaging calling me a idiot and telling me to check threads I already checked. Anyway, I can't find the problem after checking multiple guides and links and threads, and looking over everything twice. I bet im just making some stupid mistake, and I apologize if that's all it is... please, I realy need help. . I only have minecraft forge(in the form of the mudpack.jar file), Not enough items, Core Chicken Core, and obsidian reinforced installed. I doubt any of these is causing the problem, but ill mention it here in case it is. Link to modpack:https://www.dropbox.com/s/rxdu7iht2y98p84/Haxy.zip Yes, this was made as a test, and I would realy like to know why its not unzipping. If none of you can find the problem, can you at least send me a link to a 1.5.2 modpack I can edit which you KNOW works. Quote

Haxtozous Posted August 20, 2013 Author Posted August 20, 2013 Sorry, forgot to mention that I was using the default windows zip file, as according to a guide I saw it was the only way to get it working... I really would appreciate it if you could lend me a hand. . Quote

I really would appreciate it if you could lend me a hand. . I would try using 7-zip or winrar instead. I use 7-zip personally, it's never had a problem, and it doesn't nag you to buy it like winrar does. Where did you read that the default windows utility was the only way to get it working? Quote
Haxtozous Posted August 20, 2013 Author Posted August 20, 2013 I read it on... fuck Im gonna fail at spelling his name. Lukeb39 I think is his name. His guide. Quote

I thought that thread said to use winrar... Software you need! WinRar Archiver. This works very well and I have not had a single issue with this for the past 5 months. http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm I trust this site but if you are uncomfortable with it then you may use any archiving program you wish. Just be aware that some steps will be different and I will not be able to help you with a program I do not know myself. Pretty sure he said to use winrar.

Now, I could totally call you out on that, but I'm not going to. Instead, I'm going to humbly ask you to use this as a chance to realize that you may have goofed up a little, mature from it, and move on. Everyone makes mistakes once in a while, right? Quote
Haxtozous Posted August 21, 2013 Author Posted August 21, 2013 WinRAR does NOT work, as it can only make rar files, and rar files do not work.-.-. Well, guess im not getting any answers on here, so screw it. Edit: I already knew WinRAR did not work, and I tried 7-zip, only to encounter the same problem. Also, seeing as your implying a insult, it seems this community isn't as helpful as I thought It would be. If someone else a bit more mature would be willing to help, I would be all ears. Quote

Haxtozous Posted August 21, 2013 Author Posted August 21, 2013 Still same 'unziping' error. Looks like im not going to be able to find a solution. Quote
Richs_Yard Posted August 21, 2013 Posted August 21, 2013 Still same 'unziping' error. Looks like im not going to be able to find a solution. Not with that attitude mister! Quote
lukeb28 Posted August 22, 2013 Posted August 22, 2013 Still same 'unziping' error. Looks like im not going to be able to find a solution. Are you sure you linked your modpack correctly? What file host did you use? Please post the link that you put into the modpack page so I may test it. Quote
plokami666 Posted August 22, 2013 Posted August 22, 2013 I see www in that link. So I'll point out the obvious that has already been replied on, oh, I don't know, 300 other threads. That shit needs to be dl.dropbox etc. Not www.dropbox etc. Quote
Haxtozous Posted August 22, 2013 Author Posted August 22, 2013 That link was old and indirect, not theone I was using in the launcher. I was using that to show the pack and everything with the dropbox page itself. Anyway, the updated and direct link is this one. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/203855999/Modpack%20template.zip Yes, I even tried using a modpack template, and used another one before this. This one has a weird file inside it called installed, but with it or without it, it will still not 'unzip'. Quote
Haxtozous Posted August 22, 2013 Author Posted August 22, 2013 Well now, using my most recent link, technic forums wont even detect it as a 'valid' link... Quote
plokami666 Posted August 22, 2013 Posted August 22, 2013 It's not the forum's problem. Your link is indeed problematic. Links are not supposed to contain spaces. Rename your file to not contain a space. Quote
Haxtozous Posted August 23, 2013 Author Posted August 23, 2013 I thank you, plokami, that finaly fixed my problem. No other guide mentioned that being a issue(not the www, but the space). Quote
