Modpack wont download :(

[glitch159]

I tried to make a modpack, following all instructions in multiple videos, but I kept on having the same error while trying to use it:

 

 

Error downloading file for the following pack : Scrub Club (v1.4)

 

Failed to download https://www.dropbox.com/s/avxxmvgrzmu6lbs/Scrub%20Club%20%28v1.4%29.zip

 

Please consult the modpack author.

 

 

I'm not sure why it won't download the files, because out of the 20 videos i've watched, they got their

pack to work, and I couldn't. Any help?

 

P.S.  Before the error pops up, where it tells the % of the downloading file, it says about .599500%

each time.

You are not using a direct download URL for your modpack. This is your current URL:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/avxxmvgrzmu6lbs/Scrub%20Club%20%28v1.4%29.zip

This is your URL with the appropriate changes to make it a direct download URL. Note the differences:

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/avxxmvgrzmu6lbs/Scrub%20Club%20%28v1.4%29.zip

Now, on to your modpack:

• You have included the entire client modpack folder contents in your modpack archive. This is "bad". Your modpack should consist of three folders: "bin", "config", and "mods". The "bin" folder should ONLY contain "modpack.jar". The "config" folder should contain all your config files. The "mods" folder should contain all your mods". That is it. All other files/folder should be removed.

IT WORKED! THANK YOU! But how does one learn of this knowledge in the first place, oh great and powerful Mr. Plow?

 

 

Mr. Plow, thats your name... your name again is Mr. Plow!

wait... hold up... its acting like vanilla mc now, not loading any mods... any help on that?

Without your Technic pack page or API URL I really can't tell.

 

How did I learn how to do the Dropbox direct download? I Googled "dropbox direct download". Sneaky me.

 

How did I know that it needed to be a direct download? The "Luke's how to make a modpack" sticky post in the forums goes over that.

Your bin folder contains the minecraft.jar. The bin folder should ONLY contain "modpack.jar" which is simply the Forge universal binary jar renamed to modpack.jar.
