Technic pack error downloading file

Not every program is written to be compatible with different compression formats. At this point, your modpack is complete. Now, you have to host it somewhere and plug it into the Technic platform. Hosting is a requirement for Technic Platform. Their software acts as a proxy service that bounces your launcher from their services to the hosting service you have chosen to use so that it can download the modpack you create. When it does download it, the software then un-packages everything and runs it.

The Technic Platform does not offer hosting as this would be incredibly expensive for them to do. There are a lot of different ways to do this and many different hosting solutions.

Many of them are extremely complicated or cost money, but many are simple to use and free. This guide will use a simple and free service called Dropbox. The most important thing however is that it must have a direct download link. If you choose to use a more complicated method LAMP server , the files being served have to have public read permissions.

This means that if a person or a computer accesses the link, it automatically downloads the file your modpack , without having to click on any buttons. If there are any buttons on the screen, and not a direct download, the system will fail. The last part of this puzzle is to plug everything into the Technic Platform. Technic is also capable of modpack versioning so that you can update your pack from one version to the next and keep track of it. For a more advanced system that will allow people to download and use multiple versions of a modpack similar to how BTeam , Hexxit , Tekkit work, you will need to use Technic Solder.

However that is far more advanced than this tutorial. If you run into any issues, you will have to do research and use Google or other search engines to find solutions. While we want to encourage people who take the next creative leap in making their own modpack, we cannot spend what can take hundreds of hours to help curate one for each person that may run into issues.

Copy link. Please consult the modpack author What am I doing wrong here? That sadly didn't fix the issue. Please consult the modpack author" As you can see the pack is still trying to download an entire zip as if it was not a solder pack.
