    Luckily, you don't need to manually install the mods. We use the Technic Platform to deploy our modpack:

    Getting started with the Technic Platform
    If you have any issues with installation, please post here or in the Server Issues thread for help! If you get a message that says "Error Parsing Server Response", that usually means that the Technic site is under heavy load. Just wait a bit and try again.
    • Download the Technic Launcher: http://www.technicpack.net/download/:

    • Run the Technic Launcher
    • In the right-hand menu, select "Add New Pack"
      [​IMG]
    • In the popup that comes up, paste the following URL:
      Code:
      http://www.technicpack.net/api/modpack/nng-pack
      [​IMG]
    • Click "Add Modpack"
    • With the new NNG Pack selected, log Into your Minecraft account.

    • Technic will then patch everything for you. Next time you want to play, you can just select this pack from the list and log in.
    • Server address
    • The server address is:
    • Code:
      trisvill.com:25566
    • The server is whitelisted, so you'll need to post your Minecraft username in the thread located here so you can be added to the list!

    there is a new interface with the tekkit Launcher. So these instructions don't work unless there is a way to DL the old interface....

    So it is.

    Looks like there isn't any way to build a custom pack on top of a standard technic pack like you could do in the old version. We'll have a NNG custom pack put together soon!

    You can download our modpack and unpack it into the tekkitlite folder for now, so it just adds to and overwrites what's in there.

    Just want to let y'all know I haven't forgotten about updating the modpack. Since I can't patch on top of Tekkit Lite as easily with the new platform, I've had to go ahead and recreate our server modpack by bundling up all the mods Tekkit Lite ships with. The upside is, I can manually update all the outdated mods that were part of Tekkit, without having to fight with it. The downside is... I have to manually update all the outdated mods that were part of Tekkit.

    I've got all the mods updated and put together, now I just have to double check the configs and make sure it runs without error. Most of the updates were minor version updates - bugfixes and the like - so I'm not expecting too many difficulties. Hoping to have it ready tomorrow. (I just started a new job, so I've only been able to work at this a bit in the evenings.)

    Oh and if you have the new Technic Platform launcher and want to play on our server before I get the proper update out, as Witchunt said, you can manually patch without TOO much trouble:

    - Run the Technic Platform launcher and select the Tekkit Lite pack. Log into your minecraft account and let it download and patch everything for you.
    - Once its done downloading, patching, and loading the game, close out of Tekkit Lite.
    - Download the current modpack from http://trisvill.com/modpack.zip
    - Find your Tekkit Lite folder under (In Windows)
    Code:
     [USER]/AppData/Roaming/.technic/tekkitlite
    - Merge the contents of the modpack.zip into the tekkitlite directory, overwriting any files that are duplicates.
    - Launch Tekkit Lite through the technic platform again, and you should be able to connect and play on the server
