(out dated) Releasing the HeroModPack!

[gabizou]

This is currently outdated - it is not ready for 1.7+ consumption.

Spoiler: Old Post

Now I know that Rumblestikk has provided some customized jars and zips to preclude what I've done here but this is an official thread for the new HeroModPack.

Without further ado, I present the:

I have bundled together a customized installer that installs various Herocraft Approved mods that enhance your Minecraft experience whilst not only playing on Herocraft, but also at the Main Menu!
The installer will automagically install all the recommended mods plus some of their requirements such as ModLoader and LiteLoader.

Spoiler: The Current HeroModPack includes:

LiteLoader - An essential mod to Minecraft that loads mods like Macro/KeyBind mod and VoxelMenu

Rei's Minimap - An optional minimap that allows for custom waypoints to be used in game

Macro/Keybind Mod - An optional mod that allows for keybinds to be assigned to macros and GUI buttons when in text mode to execute complex commands in a fraction of the time. Beneficial for Heroes Skills bindings and those Trade chat advertisements.

HeroMod - An optional mod that ties into Heroes on Herocraft for useful Heads Up Display such as a mana bar, Party member info, Combat Timer, Health Regen timer, and Skill cooldown timers. This is the main mod for this ModPack.

VoxelMenu - An optional mod that drastically changes the Main Menu of Minecraft and the Escape menu of Minecraft to be much more simplistic and comes with an awesome "Quick connect" button on the Main Menu to Herocraft RPG

Optifine - An optional mod that enables HD texturepacks on Minecraft and improves FPS drastically with improved toggles for almost everything Graphics.

bspkrs' Mods - Adds a durability HUD and status effect HUD to minecraft for easier notifications of how low your pickaxe is and other stuff.

TabbyChat - Adds chat tabs and more!

There are THREE methods of installation of this awesome pack

Technic Launcher! - OUTDATED!
WILL NOT WORK YET​

Spoiler: Technic Method Info

Available privately for the mean time as we are lacking some graphics and the modpack will undergo a large revamp for 1.5 release. The Technic Launcher will allow you to not have to worry about when Minecraft is updated or when Herocraft is updated as it will automagically update the ModPack when Herocraft updates or when a fix/feature is introduced in the ModPack.

To use our modpack:
1) Download the Technic Launcher from the link above
2) Set up Technic as required (input directory, doesn't need to be changed)
3) On the left side, click the button "Add New Pack"
4) Copy this link: http://www.technicpack.net/api/modpack/heromodpack
5) Click "PASTE" in Technic Launcher
6) Click "Add Modpack"
7) Enter in login details and everything else is taken care of!


NOTE: If you have Parsing Error - Re run Technic Launcher with Admin (Right click TechnicLauncher > Run as Admin!)

ModPack Installer v1.4.0 - OUTDATED!
WILL NOT WORK YET​

Spoiler: ModPack Installer Info

Available only on the Herocraft Member Forums until further notice. This modpack will install the HeroModPack (whichever version is released at the current time) in a bundle. You, as the user, will be able to select which optional mods are installed. This is intended for those who wish to NOT have mods such as Optifine installed or Macro/Keybind Mod or VoxelMenu or Rei's Minimap or HeroMod.

This modpack is download ONLY, it is NOT to be used with Technic Launcher!!

Current Version: HeroModPack v1.4.0


A Video on how to use the modpack on Mac OS X!

Spoiler: Previous Versions

Minecraft 1.5.2: HeroModPack v1.3.0
Minecraft 1.5.1 - HeroModPack v1.2.8.3
Minecraft 1.4.7 - HeroModPack v1.1

​

WILL NOT WORK IF ALREADY MODDED MINECRAFT!!!

This method ABSOLUTELY REQUIRES a CLEAN minecraft installation! If you have a mods/ folder in your .minecraft/ YOU NEED TO DELETE IT!!

To install the modpack:
1) Download the ModPack from the link above
2) Extract the ModPack fully or this won't work!
3) If you're on Windows, open the "ModPack Installer Windows", if you're on Mac/Linux open "ModPAck Installer NOT Windows"
4) Go ahead and click "Next"
5) If you wish to customize your installation, check/uncheck anything you see
6) Click "Next"
7) Let the installer install everything (a backup of your current minecraft.jar will be made in the .minecraft/bin/ folder)
8) Go ahead and start up minecraft!

Notes: This version of the installer does take a little longer to update as it's something more annoying to upload every time there's a subversion update. I do like to keep the modpack up to date but this version will be somewhat outdated by a few versions at times.

Manual Jar Installation v1.6.0
​

This is for those who want to have complete control over what mods they want to install and other things. I'm bundling the modded minecraft.jar and a zip folder of the stuff that needs to go into the .minecraft/mods folder and the .minecraft/config folder

This is to be used by those who know how to modify their minecraft without any other tools.

​

Current Release:
HeroModPack v1.6.0 for Minecraft 1.6.4

THERE IS A README INSIDE THE ZIP WITH INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS.

DO NOT TRY TO USE HEROMOD! IT IS NOT UPDATED!

Old Releases Section:
Minecraft 1.6.2 -HeroModPack v1.5.0 for Minecraft 1.6.2

Modded Minecraft - v1.4.0
Mods/Configs - v1.4.0

Modded Minecraft - v1.3.1
Mods/Configs - v1.3.1

Modded Minecraft - v1.2.7
Mods/Config Zip - v1.2.7

Spoiler: Installation instructions:

1) Make Absolutely sure you are running a clean Minecraft 1.6.2 installation and run Minecraft at least 1 time
2) Download the HeroModPack zip from above
3) Unzip HeroModPack
4) Run "minecraftforge-installer-1.6.2-9.10.0.804.jar" (If you're using a different directory, re-choose the correct minecraft directory)
5) Check "Install client" and click "OK"
6) Run "liteloader-installer-1.6.2-03.jar" and Select "Install LiteLoader" and CHECK "Chain to Minecraft Forge 9.10.0.804" then click OK (Again, if you have a different directory for minecraft, re-choose the correct minecraft directory)
7) Click Start > cmd > %appdata% and select Roaming/.minecraft/
8) Copy the mods and config folder from the unzipped Modpack to the .minecraft/ folder
9) Optional for Optifine! go to the versions/LiteLoader1.6.2/ folder and copy the LiteLoader1.6.2.jar from the HeroModPack into here, replacing the one that was provided.
10) Launch the Minecraft Launcher
11) Select the LiteLoader profile
12) Click "Edit Profile"
13) Check JVM Arguments and paste this over what is already there

-Xmx1G -Dfml.ignoreInvalidMinecraftCertificates=true -Dfml.ignorePatchDiscrepancies=true

14) Click "Save Profile"
15) Click "Play"! And you should be set up!

This isn't the advised way of using the ModPack, we recommend using the Technic Installation as it will always be up to date and should be the least bug free!

Credits to all who have helped in make this possible:
Rumblestikk - He told me of the mods that were allowed and kept the Modded Minecraft thread living for ages

unknownloner - He wrote the HeroMod and is currently doing some fantastic things to keep it updated for 1.5 (We'll let you know when that's available )

iGavinnn - He made the awesome graphics for the Installer and this thread.

gabizou - Investing the time to search into new ways to facilitate easier modding of Minecraft suitable for the Herocraft community.


Warnings:
The modpack is provided AS-IS and the Herocraft Online Community/Staff is not responsible for what happens to your Minecraft installation. It is recommended to either use the Technic Launcher or learn how to back up your minecraft directory before possibly breaking things. It is NOT advised to attempt to install other mods ontop of the ModPack as the ModPack is specially installed and set up to work by itself. There is support ONLY for those who have fully read this post and this Warning. In the event either Rumblestikk or I ask for a key, the word is Fantastic, this will provide that you have read this block and will have our attention.

Might I suggest a hc.to link, maybe hc.to/modpack? Or hc.to/launcher. Whichever.

@Heralds

Edit: So, I can't tag Heralds. Dielan9999 You should be able to.

Great work everyone!

I can't actually tag heralds either. It broke recently!

Can I get some HYPE?!

 

[Rumblestikk]

We will be working hard to keep this updated from now on. Please start using this instead of my Jar. If there are any issues let us know rather by posting here or PMing us.

gabizou - It's been a pleasure working with you on this, sorry I wasn't around earlier, I was painting my new room that I'm moving into tomorrow and the internet was down.

I hope you all enjoy the new ways to get your mods! See you all in-game!

I'll still send you files to update your method of install (some super advanced users like it instead of these super automated installs).
