Details of the issue:Hey guys,
Sort of a newbie at this, so if any of this sounds kind of obvious, forgive my ignorance.
So I have used FTB in the past, and when I want to play a specific modpack, I usually just select one from the FTB MODPACKS or 3RD PARTY PACKS. However today, I would like to install an unlisted, 3rd party modpack. Specifically, this one in particular:
http://ftbwiki.org/The_Dark_Trilogy
After clicking the Website category, I was led to this link for a description of the modpack: http://forum.feed-th...lic-beta.51854/
There are three things that are frustrating me about this:
- There are no installtion instructions
- There is no download link
- I cannot seem to find a way to add a custom modpack to the FTB launcher
Granted, the first two could be a rule for the aforementioned site's forums. As far as the download, I googled for it and found this, hopefully it is correct (if not, please correct me): http://www.curse.com...rilogy-reloaded
However, I ask these questions:
- Is there a way to search for these 3rd party packs within the FTB launcher itself? I tried changing the filters in the 3RD PARTY PACKS tab, but to no avail
- Is there a way to "import" downloaded modpacks into FTB?
- I have read up on some things, and have seen suggestions to use Pack Codes. Does FTB have a central repository of these codes? Hours of Google searching did not yield any results (for this modpack at least)
- It's been awhile, but in the past I remember that server .jars and client .jars were separate, and thus required separte downloads. I know how to host vanilla and Bukkit servers, but my question is how do I go about hosting FTB servers? Are the steps the same for each modpack, or do they vary? Do they share the same .jar files now?
- How would I go about installing modpacks downloaded from the aforementioned link locally? The .zip seems to be missing core minecraft files (minecraft .jar files missing were a dead giveaway)
I'm very adept with computers and servers in general, so feel free to be as technical as you can. The last time I hosted a custom FTB server was years ago, and it seems to me that the process has drastically changed.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
