Installing Modpacks In .SLP Format

To install a Modpack in .SLP format, follow the below steps. If you have questions, visit the Resources Section of the site, or e-mail me.

Please note that this installation method creates an AKS file, which will install when you launch the file, and uninstall when you exit.

1. Unzip the file to any folder. (It is easiest to unzip it to a folder with the name of the modpack, so you can easily find it again.) Q.) I don't have a Unzipping program!
A.) Download one @ http://www.winzip.com/
2. Open Modpack Studio, otherwise known as MPS. Q.) I don't have MPS!
A.) Download it here.
3. Creat a new Project, and name it the name of the Modpack you downloaded.

New Project

Q.) Can I use a pre-existing Project?

A.) Yes, you can, but it is not recommended.

4. Look at the numbers of the SLPs you downloaded. The number is the name of the file.
5. Now, if you are viewing by Resource Type, click SLP Graphics. If you are viewing by File Location, click the Resource Type Tab, then SLP Graphics.

6. The list will expand to show many SLPs (Resources). Scroll down to the one(s) that have the same number as the SLP(s) you downloaded.
7. Click on the SLP's number. A window will open to the right. Now, click the Import SLP button.

Import existing SLP

8. A standard Open Window will appear. Browse to the folder that holds your downloaded SLPs and click the one corresponding to the number of the SLP you opened in MPS. Then click Open. A new image should be in the SLP picture box.
9. Click File > Make Install Script for [Your Project Name]. When prompted to save, click Yes. Click Ok at the next screen.

Q.) I want the Modpack to be permanent!

A.) Instead of following Step 9, click here.

10. Close MPS, and go to the folder that you saved the Install Script to. (The folder with the name of your Modpack, in the same folder as your Project.) Click on the [Your Modpack Name here].aks file to launch AoK and use the Modpack.
