Config Files Help

[zrath6]

Im trying to make a modpack, but i dont understand what the config files are or how to get them or if i even need them. Nothing i've been able to find over the past few days has done more than just mention that they exist.

When each mod starts inside of forge it should create its configuration file in the config folder (if it uses one). This file is used to manage item/block/biome/entity IDs so that they don't conflict with other mods and to tweak integration between mods (such as orgen/worldgen/treecapitation/microblocks/etc.)

 

After you have a working pack you would want to include the entire config folder in your pack archive.

Thanks .could you possibly help me to figure out why my pack isn't working? It used to have a lot more mods but i've striped it down to one mod that i cant get to work. you can find it here http://www.technicpack.net/modpack/details/test-11114.307732

• Your modpack.jar is named "Modpack.jar" (notice the uppercase M). This must be all lower case.
• As for your Calclavia mods, he does not document which versions of his mod work with each other very well. As of this post the most recent stable builds DO NOT work together. I was able to start (untested after that) with these versions: Atomic Science 1.2.0.97, Calclavia  Core Development 1.2.0.85, Universal Electricity 3.1.0.74.

thank you so much, I've been stuck on this for days.

is there any way other than trail and error to find which mods or versions dont work with each other?

Calclavia has an IRC channel and an issue tracker. Both are viable options for more information.
