Dont want the launcher

[callumwk]

HI!

Havnt really used Tekkit before, I'm using 'magic launcher' to manage my mods, currently i have the optifine mod on 'magic launcher' which means they arnt actually installed but instead run before you start minecraft. To use this, the mod has to be in .ZIP form or .JAR form... Not as a launcher. So can it get it without any launcher attached? THANKS!

No.

Long version- Technic is highly against pirates, so you have to use the technic launcher for it. Don't bother arguing about it, you can check the whale box for a few cases of how that turns out.

Oh... But this isn't pirating? I have an account

Technic isn't anti-pirate. Having the launcher not be pirate-able is just a welcome side effect. The launcher was made to make distribution and maintenance a lot easier on the team. Making and maintaining a non-launcher version would literally double the workload. It will not happen, stop asking.

There is however nothing stopping you from downloading all the mods individually and running them through the magic launcher, along with setting up the config files to sort out block/gui/net ID conflicts, fixing any compatibility issues, etc.

Good luck and I hope you like waiting on adf.ly links.

....yes it is? The technic team is anyway. They've made that reaaaaaally clear.

If you're trying to use "Magic Launcher" to use optifine with the Technic Pack (which is what I got from your post), it's already included.

They have a problem with entitled 12 year olds who demand assistance with shit that they didn't pay for. If someone is smart enough to do shit on their own, then no one cares.

Uhhh, no, they've made it really clear that having piracy talk on their forum is a liability. The stance they've expressed is "we don't care if you do it, just don't do it here."

George Carlin would love it here, I think.

.....No it's not? Do you speak for us? I wasn't aware we hired a PR person.

None of us are anti pirate. We are anti-people who demand we do extra work because they're too lazy to be actual pirates. Those aren't pirates so we're not anti pirate. Pirates are out making shit work for free for themselves without bothering us so what's not to like? The only reason we discourage piracy chat on this board is because we're responsible for it.

[callumwk]

why do all of my post end in arguments... lol

If only...

And ok cheapshot point taken. Just seemed like you were anti pirate, due to how you generally respond anytime someone talks about piracy/asks for non launcher version.
