Pixelmon Installation.

[ArchieSalt]

As the release of the Pixelmon server is on the horizon and I still hear that people have trouble installing the mod. I've decided to create this guide to help you out.

DOWNLOADS
Pixelmon 2.3.1 Install
Mediafire:
Link 1 - http://adf.ly/TkRSZ
Link 2 - http://adfoc.us/7513731052130

Minecraft Forge:
Minecraft Forge 9.10.0.799 and above
http://adf.ly/673885/http://files.minec ... .0.799.jar

Also make sure to download either Winrar or 7zip in order to extract the files from the Pixelmon zip file. You can download them simply by googling either of them.

1) Download each of the files shown above using the links provided.
2) Open the minecraftforge-installer-1.6.2-9.10.0.799.jar (If you are using a mac I suggest opening with right-click then 'open' as newer OS will prevent you from opening with double-click)
3) Select 'Install Client' and then click 'Ok'
4) Open your Minecraft 1.6.2 Launcher and where it has your username on the left, click on that and select 'Forge'
5) Click 'Play' and run Forge Minecraft fully.
6) Once everything has fully loaded, close minecraft completely and go to your .minecraft folder using %appdata% or simply search '.minecraft' under 'Computer' (Mac users will find their .minecraft folder in Users/(Username)/Library/Application Support/Minecraft)
OR

Even easier, start up Minecraft, go to resource packs, click 'Open Folder' and you're in your Minecraft folder.

7) Extract the two folders which are inside the Pixelmon 2.3.1.zip and drop them into your .minecraft folder. (Replace any folders if asked to)8) Open your Minecraft client and you now have Pixelmon fully installed.
If you follow all these steps properly, everything should work out fine.

Thanks. I haven't tried it yet, but I'm sure it will work. Does the same thing work with Windows XP? I have a laptop with Windows 7, but most of the time I use my house's main computer, which has Windows XP.

[ArchieSalt]

It works with windows XP and practically every other OS, just make sure to use the %Appdata% method when installing on XP

Use magiclauncher. It self installs and you can select/deselect mods by ticking/unticking.

Yeah, more effort than required...

And MagicLauncher stores lastlogin data too...

Is it so hard to switch profiles before login, especially since you can go on ordinary servers whilst the pixelmon mod is installed

Yeah, and one wrong button (previous/next pixelmon) and you've crashed.
The GUI gets in the way, and on smaller screens thats annoying.

And no, it isn't hard to switch profiles, thats why I have it set up like that.

What do you mean about the 'one wrong button (previous/next pixelmon) and you've crashed.'
So maybe I can look into it.
