Tool for creating modpack

Project has been abandoned

As i no longer play Minecraft, and haven't done for a couple of years, i no longer have any interested on maintaining this. Releases of something like a successor can be found here: https://github.com/zlepper/go-modpack-packer/releases, however that project is not maintained either.

TechnicSolderHelper

Technic Solder Helper is a tool that helps you pack modpack files in the correct format.

Supports Technic and FTB packs. AT Launcher are in the works.

A compiled version of this can be found at: http://zlepper.dk/solderhelper/publish.htm

For linux run the command curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zlepper/TechnicSolderHelper/master/TechnicSolderHelper/install.sh | bash, this will install the program in a subfolder of the current working directory, though it can be changed in the script.

For Mac I have no idea if this will work or not. I don't have a mac, so I can't test.

Developing TechnicSolderHelper

If you want to contribute to TechnicSolderHelper you need the following things on your machine:

If you are using Windows to develop i would recommend getting visualstudio: https://www.visualstudio.com/

Or if you are using linux or mac monodevelop: http://www.monodevelop.com/download/ (Will also work for Windows)

Then download the code using your prefered git tool and open the TechnicSolderHelper.sln file with the IDE you just installed. Then tell you IDE to restore packages and you should be good to go.

technicsolderhelper's Issues

Enable autoupdate of Technic Solder installs (The webversion)

Add AT launcher support

Output Permissionlist

[1.0.6.7] Crash, no error message

When using Solder installation app just crashes now. No error message, just crashes. Otherwise things are working great.

Make automatic solder a little smarter

Include all the mods on each new version of the modpack

Is already done. Now figure out some way to get the forge version from the last version of the pack.

include lib files

For really old instances of minecraft the lib files can't be found of forge's servers, so we have to include a zip file with them for the user.
Should be part of the forge zip.

Windows 8 and SmartScreen

The default install will not fire up as normal on windows 8 unless you go to more info and select run anyway. This is not addressed on the post I found for your app on the technic pack forums. The only to solutions for this are to pre-publish sign the assembly with a supported CA signed cert, or to provide info about click more info and run anyway. The only problem with the second method is that this will have to be done any time the app updates. IF you do not have a CA backed signing cert then this would be your only approach. If you have a supported CA backed signing cert you can use the directions on the following post to setup a pre-publish assembly signing.

https://robindotnet.wordpress.com/2013/02/24/windows-8-and-clickonce-the-definitive-answer-2/

Create a list of additional folders and files the user can chose to include

Minetweaker script, server.dat ect.

Output modlist

Minecraft Versions only go to 1.4.7 with the latest compiled version.

Send author to the remote solderhelper database

Directory listing can't show all files if there are too many files.

The directory listing should grow in size if you resize the window, just like it does to the side it should to downwards.

Figure out liteloaders version using the json file it has on the internetz.

http://dl.liteloader.com/versions/versions.json

Update "currently doing" when working with forge and FTP permissions.

Also update the text when uploading files.

Solder 7.2 changes

Allow the user to input the min_memory and the min_java for modpack builds.

Rewrite the freaking modlistsqlhelper again

The current implementation can't keep up with the multithreaded packing of mods

Make a flash drive mode

It would be nice to be able to run this from a flash drive and not appdata, make portability easier.

Use remote database

Create remote database with the same info as the local SolderHelper database if the application is connected to a remote mysql database.

Include .disabled files

SQL issues with Sangar

Happened after deleting the SolderHelper folder and starting over on a directory on Wanderlust Reloaded. Most likely OpenComputers causing the issue.

Add SFTP support

Do something about trying to download non-existing forge versions.

Have the user select a new version and download that instead.

Warn people about long startup times the first time

Not sure if this issue is on my end or not. Let me know.

validate minecraft version when entered

Don't show 1.7.10_Pre in the minecraft version list

Add back the adding mods and stuff box

in the latest update, the box that showed where and what solder helper was doing was removed, it would be nice to see it back again.

Mods are not being marked properly as "user inputted" with the listview

Spil the start function into smaller parts.

Allow prefixes in the tablenames in the solder database

No License

You are on github with no license!

Technically you are forfeiting only the right that lets people fork your code and nothing else, meaning usage/modification/distribution outside of github is All Rights Reserved (and not truly open source.)

I would recommend MIT or Apache 2 if you just want people to do whatever with it, or GPL if you want to ensure your code remains open source forever.

Add s3 integration

Come up with less descriptive resource names

Include unarchived mods

Millineare.

Move all confighandling to my own handler

Mod version not affected

The newest version will repackage if you edit the SolderHelper database but will still use the old versionnumber, not the newly edited one to create the names etc of the mods. It also will overwrite the new data with the wrong data read from the mod.

As an example, read in Biomes o Plenty latest snapshot, it doesn't add the version of the snapshot. Edit it and then press go again, it will overwrite the version eg (2.1.1062) you entered with 2.1 and package it as such, making Solder not believe it is a new version and also overwrite old versions MD5.

Multithread the startup progresses, so they can be run concurrently

Database locks on permission check

Show upload progression

Make a form that actually shows how far along the FTP upload is.

Which version of Solder i have to use?

I would to use it with TechnicSolder but with version off it?

Add FTB support

Create list of mods left to work on.

MySQL error

I am getting this error when I try to build the mod pack

issue with module mods when using solder database

Mods with the same modid aren't getting packed due to solderhelper thinking they already are online.

Allow autoupload to FTP hosts

[Bug] Stuck "waiting for # mods to finish packing"

I've tried almost everything to fix this. I've got about 200 mods but only 137 get done.

Error when Packing starts

When i start my packing i receive this error..
