Hi I have try to make a vanilla modpack for 1.7.8 but if you put nothing inside your src folder, the launcher does not create the minecraft folder in your instance.

when I do the same with a blank .txt file in src folder everything work fine

Vanilla with this launcher is a little goofy, but I got it to work alright for me. It won't create an objects folder because there aren't any extra files needed for vanilla, but it'll create the manifest.json file, which is all you need. I have a vanilla setup in the sample files at http://github.com/oxguy3/craftboot-files if you want to copy mine (I think I put a 1.7.5 and 1.7.8 folder there).

same probleme with your files http://pastebin.com/B5gSdTFN the minecraft folder it's not created anyways it's not a big issue, we just need to put something in src

Oh must just be an issue with the launcher. I'll look into it, but yeah for the time being, you might just include a servers.dat file with your server included on it, so that you can both work around the bug and save your players a step (though be sure to define it as a user file in your modpack.json so that they can add other servers).

Since the issue is with the launcher rather than with the bootstrapper itself, CraftBoot will be able to automatically download an updated version of the launcher when I put one out, so no need to wait to distribute until there's a fix.

ok thanks

oxguy3 commented 10 years ago

I made an update to the launcher that fixes the bug. Next time you run CraftBoot, the launcher will have an "Update launcher" button that will allow you to download the new version.

thanks, but now it's always "pending update" http://i.imgur.com/eVJBNoO.png

EDIT: forget it, bad version number in my manifest.json

Hmmm, I'm not getting any problem like that; did you make any changes within your minecraft folder? EDIT: Oh okay awesome.
