Forge derp: cannot dl scala

[GameMakerWorld]

Trying to play MagicFarm 1.5.2 pack but it simply won't run, because the download link for the scala is wrong or somebody misplaced the lib altogether. The website for files.minecraftforge is still up so idk. Error is the following:

Any fix would be greatly appreciated as I am really looking forward to playing that beautiful modpack

Do you have the unleashed mod pack as well? If you do then go into that folder and navigate to your minecraft/lib folder and copy it from there into the magicfarm one.

 

[GameMakerWorld]

@UniZero
Thank for the idea, but that won't allow me to play the modpack with other members of my group who aren't exactly willing and able to copy around files.
The joy of a modpack launcher is to "just click and run it" so this still needs fixing.
If it's only happening for the Magic Farm, then maybe something in there is wrong rather than for forge in general.

 

[UniZero]

Well you could upload the files to mediafire or similar and get them to download it from there.

I tried to download a private modpack and got this error and this was the first time it happened to me.

This is happening because of a forge issue not an ftb one.

 

[lavarthan]

You need to use a FTB created one like Unleashed those seem to be unaffected by it. Look here for more info on how you can download them manually if you wish.

 

[GameMakerWorld]

Lol, all these answers mean only one thing for me: "don't use some FTB packs as they are broken" or at least "it doesn't work now so check back a lot later".

I'm not looking for workarounds but for fixes.

I do appreciate you guys taking the effort to answer but I guess that modpack is simply defunct for now then. Too bad as it was exactly what I wanted

Um, Lavarthan gave you the solution....

Unfortunately the Magic Farm pack is a third party mod pack and as such needs to be maintained and updated by the creator of the pack. The workaround that lavarthan gave you is simple and would take less than a minute to do.

I am not sure if it happens with all third party mod packs but it happened to me with the Blood & Bone pack.

Sigh. I still need to upload that fix. The issue is that it was never anounced in a way to inform the masses that the proper lib files would be changing location and all modpacks pre1.6 would need to include the files themselves (and it was ok too.) Even now, to properly distribute a prepackaged server, the modpack author must install forge server side and package the libs.
All the FTB packs have already been updated to reflect the change. Jaded and I's respective packs have not. Not sure on other 3rd party packs.

 

[lavarthan]

Thanks for the update on the reason Eyamaz. That explains a lot.

 

[GameMakerWorld]

I am very happy to say that "Magic Farm" (v5.0) now works without problems. So as far as my troubles are concerned, the issue is solved.

As for other 3rd party packs, I guess a lot of time has passed since I posted about the issue and any pack still having it from not updating in all that time is probably dead and abandoned by its author.

 

[Eyamaz]

Or busy with more important things, like official FTB packs. I have not abandoned BNB.
