Wellington Pennyfeather Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 Hello, I want to create my own modpack but I do not know the first thing about solder such as: Do I need to download solder or is there already a solder folder?, where do I put the API key?, What is the URL box for?, How do I link the solder API thingie?, and Where do I get solder if there is a download? All of these questions I could not find the slightest hint of an answer to. I'm just saying that tekkit assumes that I am the ultimate IT guy when in truth, I do not know the first thing about all of the different file types, folders, and other assorted computer knowledge. There must be a secret forum page that everybody is seeing that I'm not because it appears as though everybody that makes tekkit modpacks was born with a quarter of their brain dedicated to knowing what an API is. If one of you knowledgeable people can post a short (or very very longggggg) tutorial to help newbs like me contribute to the modding community in a useful way that would be greatly appreciated. P.S. If any of you think that I'm an too big of a newb to create my own modpack, please keep your nerdy opinion to yourself because that is not the answer I was looking for. Quote
RONNOC777 Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 Technic says they won't help anyone with setting up solder. The most instructions you will get is here: https://github.com/TechnicPack/TechnicSolder I only read those instructions and I managed to do it. I did run into a few problems, but I got there. I have no experience in PHP or Laravel, so try that. Quote
Wellington Pennyfeather Posted April 17, 2014 Author Posted April 17, 2014 Yeah I read that before I posted this and let me just say, you must be a whole lot smarter than me to understand anything in that description. Also why won't technic help with setting up solder? I don't understand why you would include the solder feature and just assume that everyone trying to create a modpack is an ultra-genius IT guy with a degree in "Computer Stuff". Quote
RebelNode Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 (edited) Yeah I read that before I posted this and let me just say, you must be a whole lot smarter than me to understand anything in that description.

I don't understand why you would include the solder feature and just assume that everyone trying to create a modpack is an ultra-genius IT guy with a degree in "Computer Stuff". Solder is only meant for ultra-genius IT-guys. If you aren't one then don't use it. You can create a modpack just fine without using solder. It is almost impossible to provide satisfactory support to a complex system for people who can't understand complex systems. I could get solder installed with the instructions RONNO linked, but I cannot explain to you how you could do the same because it requires a ton of prerequisite knowledge about web server backends and other "ultra-genius IT guy" stuff.

Wellington Pennyfeather Posted April 17, 2014 Author Posted April 17, 2014 Thank you for enlightening me to your ways oh holy one. For you are truly the most masterful of all genius IT guys I will now proceed to delete the solder file from my computer and continue to believe that I will never understand anything ever. Quote
Wellington Pennyfeather Posted April 17, 2014 Author Posted April 17, 2014 also what device do I use to somehow create what you call a "modpack". Thank you oh Holy One. Quote
