  • You are only including a few of your configs. Get the set the way you want and include every single one of them.
  • You seem to have a modpack.jar with ModLoader installed. This won't work with ForgeModLoader. Use the base Forge "Universal" download.
  • You have CodeChickenCore and NotEnoughItems in the mods folder. In 1.5.2 those are coremods.
  • Why include a FlatBedrock mod? Thermal expansion will provide that feature.
  • Your Biomes-O-Plenty mod is for 1.5.1 not 1.5.2. You need to get the most recent 1.5.2 version of the mod (latest for 1.5.2 is 0.5.9.4)
  • Your version of IC2 does not work in 1.5.2. There "might" be newer version for 1.5.2, but I never got past 1.117.385-lf myself
  • The GregTech author (at least in the 1.5.x version) went to great lengths to block the mod from loading due to his overinflated sense of self importance.
  • You have Biome ID conflicts between Biomes-O-Plenty and ExtraBiomesXL (found after upgrading the BOP mod, many conflicts to resolve here)

There is no possible way you ever started this pack locally before trying to push it into Technic. That is always step #1. If it doens't work for you (which your pack never would) it won't work for anyone else. I maintain a pack called "BareBonesPack" which lets you select which Forge/MC version you want to use so you can have an easy to setup environment to start building a pack.

 

Here is the extrabiomes.cfg I tweaked to get it working with BOP: http://pastebin.com/Hkhde5S6

My suggested path forward:

  • Start with my BareBonesPack set to your preferred Forge/MC version
  • Add in mods/coremods in logical groups: -all the immibis mods-, -mods with dependancies-,etc.
  • Keep checking your Forge client log "ForgeModLoader-client-0.log" for major errors or conflicts
  • Once you are done, copy out the binmodpack.jar, mods, coremods (if <=1.5.2), and config folders to a new folder somewhere
  • Zip up the contents of this new folder (from within, they should all be at the "top level" of your archive) and you have yourself a pack

When I tried loading your BareBonesPack it didn't let me play, also I went onto the folder to see if anything was there, all the folders (bin, cache, config, coremods, mods, resources and saves) were all there, expect they were all empty? Could you explain how I can get my forge version for 1.5.2? 

 

Ive done everything youve said but still doesn't work (apart from the config files as I cannot find them all). So Im thinking its probably a problem with the mcforge as I downloaded a 1.5.2 template this is where i got it from -

So, you added the BareBonesPack and it wouldn't start? Very odd. Works fine here. You added the pack, changed settings to choose 1.5.2 Forge and then ran it?

That dropbox link, even in your modpack URL, is not a direct download link. All files intended to be downloaded by the launcher must be "direct downloads".

 

After downloading the file indirectly, I find:

  • * You have everything in your zip file under a subdirectory. the "bin", "config", "coremods" and "mods" folders should be right at the top level of the folder structure in the archive.
  • * You are including the entire "bin" folder EXCEPT the only file you actually wanted to include. When you are ready to zip up your pack your bin folder should contain exactly one file and it should be named "modpack.jar". Nothing more, nothing less.
  • You are including the "resources" and "saves" folders (even though the saves folder is empty). You don't need to do this and it just needlessly increases the size of your pack.
  • You want to be using an IC2 1.117 build. 1.116 is out of date for 1.5.2
  • Your LogisticsPipes mod is out of date for 1.5.2
  • If you are including modular powersuits, you almost surely want modular powersuits addons.
  • Your Biomes-O'-Plenty mod is out of date for 1.5.2

Only the first two bulleted points above would prevent your pack from working at all and those are easy fixes. After I made those fixes the pack started and ran fine (well, when using my BareBonesPack as the base, not your pack URL).

I took this folder from the ftb unleashed folder then added to it. ic2 was already installed?. could you provide me a step by step tutorial on the modpack.jar? i know you have to put the class files, but there aren't any mods i have that actually use class files?

ugh i give up. everything i do there is always something wrong.... could u just make the folder for me? and then ill download it to change the pack

 

 

Nevermind!!!! I tried out your BareBonesPack for the second time, this time adding each mod in one by one, i noticed that when i put MystCraft in the mods folder it didnt work. it was the only mod that wasnt working, so i just removed MystCraft and carried on, all the mods work now!!! apart from the MystCraft one, I was hoping you could help me get MystCraft working as it is one of my favourite mods!!! https://www.dropbox.com/s/a0pqr7xiioq43qo/mystcraft-uni-1.5.2-0.10.5.00.zip that is the version ive got, not sure if the version is broke or not but i was hoping you could tell me that, thanks for all your help!!!

Hey i am also having the problem of downloading my custom modpack, i was runing my pack fine, i made a few mod changes, and now it will not download. I have multiple custom modpacks on here and as far as i can see ive done everything right (this has nothing to do with the installation it ran fine on my server) technic launcher tries to download the zip file 3 times then errors out. Which is "failed to download https://dl.dropbox.com/s/u4lr4zx9oiqkmfa/SoosTechPack.rar"

1) don't thread jack (stealing someone else's thread)

2) your modpack archive needs to be a zip not a RAR, I recxomemd using 7zip and using normal zip format if you were going about it with WinRAR

Hmm, a few problems here:

  1. Never "necropost" unless absolutely necessary (i.e. never).
  2. You almost surely do not have the same issue.
  3. Start your own thread and provide the required information: API URL link or a link to your pack details page, a clear and concise description of the problem
