Custom Update Links For Using With Modpacks #3

Closed alexandrevega closed 7 years ago

alexandrevega commented 7 years ago

Hi, i was wondering if it's possible to use your launcher with our custom versions, we want this because we have a modpack server and we want to use our custom server for updating, for example instead of the usually minecraft verions use just 1 with name "MODPACK" for example, and download this version from our custom server, i was wondering how can we do this with your launcher update system. Thanks

The version parameter can be anything after a named folder in your /versions folder. So you can do the following.

/.minecraft
--/versions
----/customName
------/customName.jar
------/customName.json

then you can start the craften launcher with -version customName

No, what i want its to the launcher download the minecraft directly from our server so the user doesn't have to manually do it. Thanks

This software is purely for starting minecraft with given sources. You can specify various url for the used libs but that's about it at the time. We also developed the craften terminal. Maybe we could implement your mods there and give your users the modpack option? https://craften.de/terminal Your users then only need craften terminal and your modpack file (will be just a few kb in size). The craften terminal will then download all the needed mods for a specified version and launch it. You can also directly join a server with a modpack if you want.

I've been searching a lot and I find this: http://www.minecraftforum.net/forums/mapping-and-modding/minecraft-tools/2639801-packupdate-a-multimc-modpack-updater It's possible to adapt this updater to this launcher? Thanks

Or something like this: https://github.com/killjoy1221/MCUpdater-Plus Thanks

@TheProKiller756 It might be possible to adapt the updater you find, it's open source after all. Feel free to do that, but keep in mind that Craften Launcher just aims to be a nice launcher that supports Forge and looks somewhat better than the original one.
