Small error with custom mod pack: IllegalArgumentException while parsing next element

[Pilzerino]

Hey all,

I'm working on a "small" mod pack for some friends and I to play over a hamachi server. I got really far using Luke's guide (http://forums.technicpack.net/threads/luke%E2%80%99s-hopefully-comprehensive-modpack-making-guide.44197/) but I'm having a strange problem at what I hope is the very end. My pack's up on technicpack.net, and the technic launcher indeed identifies the link to the pack and begins unzipping it when I get the following error:

Error unzipping a file from the following pack: Pilzpack

IllegalArgumentException while parsing next element.

Please consult the modpack author.

Now, I'm not sure what's causing this, because it doesn't look like the registry conflict things other people were normally having, where items or blocks had matching IDs. For reference, the modpack contains all of the core tekkit stuff as of a couple hours ago, with the addition of a Touhou Items Pack mod. I made sure to grab the 1.5.2 version of the items pack mod since the tekkit uses 1.5.2 version of minecraft. In addition, the mod packs worked together when I simply dropped the additional items mod into the .technic/modpacks/tekkitmain/mods directory, I was able to start up the launcher, select the tekkit pack, and start a single-player game. I saw a couple of the custom mobs from the touhou items pack, and killed one to recieve some of the custom items, so that seems to have carried over just fine.

I'm not really sure where to go from here, so I figured I'd make a thread and see if anyone knew what was going on!

weird...

I have never seen this error before...

I honestly don't know what the error here is.

AHA. The error has been located. The mod pack's name was in Kanji and Hiragana (Japanese characters). I decided to change that to see, and sure enough renaming the modpack to "Touhou" allowed it to unzip. Now it's giving me more errors, but...

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Slot 960 is already occupied by...

which if I recall from Luke's guide, just means that some blocks have been assigned the same slot. Should be an easy fix.

Exactly. You'll want to avoid using non-english characters on programs that download stuff, many cannot parse unique characters. Looks like somebody felt lazy when they wrote the exception handling

As for that, yea, id conflict. NEI is a lifesaver XD

Same problem here. The .zip modpack file is downloaded, but the launcher can't extract it. None of the settings in the modpack ever had a problem before, and now it's all acting up. It can't be the settings like your problem was...

I have this error too. No matter what I tried I can't find anything that could have caused the problem. Can someone tell me what causes the problem or what to do to fix it?
