My modpack has no icon!!

[dadus2000]

So I created a modpack for my server, called ArcticZone (That's also the name of the server, wich is from Romania so don't struggle to understand what is written in the backround.). The modpack works really nice, except one thing: it has no icon!!

I went into the assets folder and there was no icon.png in there, even after I added a logo. I created one manually, but that didin't show up when I launched the modpack. The modpack is not ever using the default icon for vanilla minecraft but an icon minecraft used to use in the pre-alpha versions. And that's not the only problem. It doesn't even show the name of the modpack!

So yep, that's the problem:

By the way, link for the launcher is: http://www.technicpack.net/api/modpack/arcticzone-modpack

And you uploaded it in the edit my modpack section?

[dadus2000]

what do you mean? I created my modpack by creating a zip file with the files needed, uploading it in the cloud and than configuring it in the "create new modpack" section.

what do you mean? I created my modpack by creating a zip file with the files needed, uploading it in the cloud and than configuring it in the "create new modpack" section.

And in that section there was a spot to upload/link and image.

Did you do that?

[dadus2000]

Yes. Otherwise the modpack woudn't work.

[Valtrino]

Yes. Otherwise the modpack woudn't work.

That's not true. I have a modpack on there and i never put an image. it just didnt bother me.

But since you said you did it i'm not going to accuse you of not doing it lol.

Well i tried...

[dadus2000]

I though you were talking about the Modpack location URL.

[Valtrino]

so you put them here or not?

[dadus2000]

Yes

[dadus2000]

W8... Let me try without them

[dadus2000]

Unfortunately, the same thing happens...

[Valtrino]

Then this is unknown to me, i apologize

I'd say hang on for a day maybe its just lag and it'l show up later.

or maybe they go through a verification process to screen for inappropriate content

You can't have an icon without Technic Solder. (Or at all with the latest version of the launcher, I think they're working on that.)

[dadus2000]

So will I be able to have an icon if they'll get the new version running well?

[dwwojcik]

If you use the Solder API for your modpack, yes, I believe so.

[dadus2000]

I have no experience with the Solder API, and I heard it's kind of hard to use.

Is this true?

[dwwojcik]

Hang on. Do you mean the pack logo (That shows up on the left side of the launcher) or the pack icon? (That shows up on the taskbar and the top of the window)

[dadus2000]

Yes, it's about the icon...

[dwwojcik]

Ok. In that case, if you absolutely can't live without it, then your only option is Solder. I'm pretty sure you need a web server for that.

[dadus2000]

well that's weird because I have made another modpack some time ago and it showed up the icon (the same as the logo).

[dwwojcik]

The launcher needs to be updated, supposedly that will come back.

Minecraft 1.5.2 modpack will show with your logo in the icon bar, 1.6 modpacks however will take the default Minecraft logo (crafting bench) as icon.
