Forge not detecting mods?

[Overpwn]

I downloaded forge because i just got my hands on some mods (Railcraft, buildcraft and industrial craft) that mention it is required to implement them, but when I look at the mods tab in-game NOTHING shows up. It doesn't stop the game from running and forge seems to work correctly (yes it's the most recent version, all set-up correctly) but my mods just dont appear and obviously dont work...

Then you didnt install the mods correctly.

Cant help without logs.

you just cannot say "I installed forge and my mods dont work." do u use 1.2.5 ? cause railcraft and all these mods aren't updated for 1.3.2 --> they're still for 1.2.5... so u definitely cannot use these mods with the recent forge like u said in your post... so what do u mean with "recent version of forge"? do u mean the latest 1.2.5-version? pls describe exactly thx

Well I have no logs because there doesn't seem to be any errors, first of all

Secondly I can't have not instaled them properly because you just drag and drop a zip files into a folder...

 

Nevertheless I did notice afterwards that indeed the mods aren't updated for 1.3.2 and just got redirected by some lame website so yeah I guess it does explain that...

On the other hand I've tried downgrading my minecraft, using MCNostalgia, which was successful as I could play in 1.2.5 without any problems whatsoever...

 

HOWEVER now I'm facing a new problem: first of all, I got myself a v3.3.7 version of forge to fit my older minecraft, which caused the game to crash when I launched because the forge version is too old for my railcraft mod... says I need at least 3.3.8! (lol just to piss me off ) so I searched a bit for a 3.3.8 and I cant find a download for it ANYWHERE...

 

Ph and at this point I also tested WITHOUT the railcraft mod in the mod file and it does work like a charm, minecraft 1.2.5, forge and everything, just without my mods obviously...

 

Thus, since it said it worked with 3.3.8+, I tried out with a forge v4.0.0, which caused to more success as the game freezes on the "Done loading" screen EVEN if I deleted the META-INF folder... strange.

 

I guess it's normal to some extent that forge 4.0.0 doesn't fit for 1.2.5 anyways so if any of you (or any one else who might want to join the conversation ) happens to have a download link or a 3.3.8 version on their computer I would love so much if you could share it off!!!! <3<3<3

 

I've been DYING to get my hands on industrial craft, buildcraft and railcraft and I CANT WAIT to try them out!

There are ALWAYS logs. Even during normal execution.

How come people continue to argue with me about this?

(I know but I've had a bunch of em since and I dont know which one is the good one so I decided it wasn't worth it since nothing special happened )
