Ability to manage AT Launcher's modpacks right from MultiMC #405

Closed evieluvsrainbows closed 6 years ago

evieluvsrainbows commented 10 years ago

I would find it really useful if we could manage AT Launcher's mod packs since you have FTB integration, so why not add AT Launcher integration as well?

LawAbidingEnt commented 10 years ago

Yah this would be a really nice feature.

02JanDal commented 10 years ago

When I first did the FTB integration we didn't have the jarmod support in place, and the way AT and Technic do it required jarmod support, even for instances with just Forge (with other words: they did it wrong).

Now that we have Jarmod support we could revisit this, but we often have problems with the FTB support, so we would have to think about this a bit if we want to do this.

I see. I'll just use the launchers for now when it comes to Technic and AT modpacks. Hopefully you guys will add it in the future though as it would prove useful to many people who use Technic and AT modpacks.

AT Launcher support in a nutshell

Khitiara commented 10 years ago

I dont know about technic, and I have an irrational bias against it anyway someone else can figure it out

Khitiara commented 10 years ago

we have permission to do something similar to ftb support for AT Launcher you would still need to use it to download packs, but display and launching will be done by use sort of

02JanDal commented 10 years ago

This issue will be dedicated to AT Launcher, please create a new one for technic

RyanTheAllmighty commented 10 years ago

Yes this is all good by us (ATLauncher) as long as there is no downloading/installing of packs and it's used as a launching mechanism. Good luck, feel free to contact me if you need any changes done to support this as I'm all for it :)

Khitiara commented 10 years ago

in two weeks i will get started when i return the US

Aphenon commented 9 years ago

Was this feature dropped? i would love to have this.

RyanTheAllmighty commented 9 years ago

I'm sad this never made it in. The fact it's still open provides hope, but only very little since it's been left here.

Any update on this or how I can help in anyway make this happen?

peterix commented 9 years ago

Yep. We don't have enough manpower.

Currently, all my effort goes into this: https://github.com/MultiMC/MultiMC5/commits/feature/remote_version_files

Basically making a new instance format that can handle modpacks and direct resource downloads. Kinda like QuickMods should have been, only built from bottom up, not the other way.

peterix commented 8 years ago

Long time no see! I'm moving all the ideas to workflowy - a place better suited for the kind of structured organization and planning needed to actually manage hundreds of ideas.

The feature will most likely take the form of direct support - and import from the platform. Not tracking or launching of existing ATL instances.

So, this has been moved to workflowy (Ideas -> Packs).

peterix commented 6 years ago

So, I'm looking at this, and I don't think this can ever go forward.

  1. I don't want to reimplement other launcher's logic just to be able to launch some arbitrary instances from them. It would tie MultiMC to their internals. It did that with FTB, and I'm not a fan of the mess it causes in the code. The launchers go in different directions, and the differences are often irreconcilable.
  2. Import from platform is not possible.

I might do this in the 'direct import from platform' way on a private branch just for the heck of it... But it cannot be deployed.
