Modpack Making 1.6.4 Help

[Cosmology27]

So I've read the whole Technic page for how to make a modpack. I've also watched two different videos explaining it. I've tried it out, and it'll download and run, but it won't open any worlds, or log on to my server... The modpack does run, because I've run it on my own totally fine. I would imagine it would have to be a problem with how the launcher installs my pack.

The problem is, I believe, how the Technic launcher installs forge. The instructions don't really specify how to get forge installed. I’m pretty confused how to add that properly, and how the technic launcher actually creates the pack.

What I've done is I've created a config folder with all my configs, a mods folder with all my mods, and a bin folder where I have the forge universal I downloaded, but the forge file is renamed modpack.jar (this is what both videos said to do).

I tried also including an empty coremods folder (empty because MC no longer has coremods in 1.6.4), but it would always crash. I took out the coremods folder, and for some reason now it loads, but it won't go into any worlds, SP or MP.

If anyone could help me out I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks!

Without a link to your Technic Pack page or API URL it will be difficult to help you.

Sorry about that, should of thought of that. Here it is.

Do you know how the forge aspect of the pack works for 1.6.4 packs?

• Your modpack has a staggering number of item ID conflicts. These will almost surely cause problems when trying to use any of the mods which are conflicting and cause a ton of problems for trying to set up a server.
• Your modpack does actually start so I'm not sure exactly what you are asking for at this point. Your original post is a bit rambling.

The game starts up, but you cannot enter a world. Why is that? How do I fix it?

 

I'm surprised you found ID conflicts, because I fixed all the block ID conflicts, and all the item ones I could. I thought there were only like 6 left.

 

I'd like to know if you or anyone else can explain to me how to include Forge in a 1.6.4 pack.

 

Thanks!

I'd like to know if you or anyone else can explain to me how to include Forge in a 1.6.4 pack.

This is what I am confused about. You currently have Forge in your pack, correctly I might add. The modpack.jar file in the bin folder is simply the Forge universal jar file renamed to be "modpack.jar".

 

As for item ID conflicts, open your ForgeModLoader client log and search for the word "CONFLICT" (without quotes). Some may be unresolvable (Iguana Tweaks does "odd/bad" things) but most should be. Flan's often conflicts with itself which will require you to extract the weapon packs and change the IDs inside the text files from the weapon pack.

 

The pack does eventually start for me and I am able to create and enter a SSP world. Keep in mind that your pack is quite large and you need to be allocating 3G to the launcher to have any hope of running it successfully.
