I have been trying to install technic 0.88 for ages now and it will not work, i have all the depended mods and i am playing on windows, it always says that it cannot find the init.lua file but when i look in the folder its there, can anyone help?

Give us the folder structure.

all i need is instructions to install,
if someone else could install it then tell me how they did it that would be cool

folder structure
technic_master.zip
--> technic master (folder)
-->technic, mod-pack, .gitnore
-->technic, modpack.txt
-->all the lua files (including the init), sounds, textures.
textures--> png files
sounds-->the sound files

does this help anyone

Is the ZIP file in the mod folder, or its contents? It won't self extract the contents from the ZIP file.

oh and you must rename technic-master to technic

hmmm, ill try. be back in a min

nope, dosent work

Add a file named: modpack.txt in the technic folder

Try this:
extract only the folder technic with the lua files in your modfolder

tryed it, it dosent work, i use the latest dev build

or delete your debug.txt and (re)start minetest game. Then quit minetest, open the debug.txt go to the bottom line, copy the lines with ERROR in it and paste them here.

i made it work, somehow o.O

how?
