Ok, everything is working now!
the SKMCLauncher does not like Minecraft Forge, so I have to manually install it.
However, I do have TMI installed using the SKMCLauncher, over the manually installed Forge and Modloader.
Two things:
1. Invalid or corrupt jarfile /Users/ezekielelin/Library/Application Support/minecraft/bin/minecraft.jar
2.
Found something really weird.
Forge installation does not work with those dynamic launchers. I originally used the dynamic launchers because I was tired of trial and error taking so long.
I am now going to attempt to load up the redpower mod. I will post back here with my progress.
I don't use many mods, however I have wanted to try out buildcraft for a while...
Right now, I only have two mods, and I am still experiencing crashes.
Forge
Modloader
They are up to date.
here is modloader.txt after this crash: (with nothing in the /mods folder)
Any help would be appreciated, as I am flummoxed as to what I am doing wrong.
