sndeang51 Posted August 21, 2014 Posted August 21, 2014 Hi everyone. I have been trying to register a modpack on the platform but when I give it the download link it get's stuck on the edit modpack page until I get error 504. I have been using Ge.tt as my file host if that helps. Thanks in advance.
Discord Moderator plowmanplow Posted August 21, 2014 Discord Moderator Posted August 21, 2014 I am not familiar with Ge.tt as a file host. Please provide a public share URL for your file so we can take a look. If the link is not "direct" (i.e. it doesn't do anything but pop up a save file dialog when clicked in the browser) it won't work in the platform. Also, please provide a link to your Technic pack page or API URL (the URL you add to the launcher).
sndeang51 Posted August 21, 2014 Author Posted August 21, 2014 (edited) I messaged you the ge.tt link. Hope you dont mind. Also you may notice a lack of custom config files if you look at the file. I got lucky and all mods ran together without issues. Edited August 21, 2014 by sndeang51
Discord Moderator plowmanplow Posted August 21, 2014 Discord Moderator Posted August 21, 2014 In the future, please just post the link to your API URL or pack page here. The link you provided me in a PM is just a file link. The API URL will allow us to better diagnose problems. Additionally, I constantly have to delete PMs because of space limitations. If this thread carries on very long (and they often do) I'll have to ask for it again if it isn't here. It looks like your download URL is fine. The launcher can report a download issue with your pack when in fact the pack is just improperly assembled, as is the case here. Your modpack contents are all in a subfolder. The main required folders (bin, config, mods... yes, ALL THREE are required) need to be at the top level of the folder structure inside the modpack archive. Your modpack.jar file is actually named "modpack.jar.jar". Google "windows always show file extensions" to find out how to prevent this from happening. You haven't included any config files in your pack. This is always bad. Even in 1.7.10, where ID conflicts shouldn't happen, the config files still provide a vital mechanism for mod balance and interaction. Without them you can get bad or spawn settings, poor power system interaction and wildly imbalanced items. Always include config files.

sndeang51 Posted August 21, 2014 Author Posted August 21, 2014 (edited) I did everything plow said, still getting error 504. Here is the link to the updated version of my modpack: http://ge.tt/api/1/files/4t9vbwr1/0/blob?download And the mod pack's page: http://www.technicpack.net/modpack/details/snld-private-test-modpack.456903 If needed I can get a screen shot of the error message. Pardon the odd title, this version you have given me help on is basically, well, more or less a private WIP modpack for a few people. Hence why everything is so bare in terms of descriptions ( I do plan to add stuff to the descriptions and change logs and all that fun stuff once I get this running since it's private) Edited August 21, 2014 by sndeang51
Discord Moderator plowmanplow Posted August 21, 2014 Discord Moderator Posted August 21, 2014 Probably because of redirections. Because of the way the host is using redirects to provide links to files this host probably won't work with the Platform. Switch to copy.com (my suggestion) or Dropbox.
sndeang51 Posted August 22, 2014 Author Posted August 22, 2014 Ok thanks. Does copy.com have a download and/or bandwidth limit?
sndeang51 Posted August 22, 2014 Author Posted August 22, 2014 Ok can you explain that 5 free users thing? Does that mean that there can only be 5 people who can download the file or just 5 accounts from one network?
Discord Moderator plowmanplow Posted August 22, 2014 Discord Moderator Posted August 22, 2014 I don't recall ever seeing anything like that. Where do you see that restriction?
sndeang51 Posted August 22, 2014 Author Posted August 22, 2014 Hold on that was referencing company accounts. I derped, sorry
sndeang51 Posted August 22, 2014 Author Posted August 22, 2014 (edited) It works now. A huge thanks to Plow. Edited August 22, 2014 by sndeang51
