It happens with any updated mod I attempt to put into the mods folder, I even tried doing it the old fasioned way to no avail. (I.E. Into the minecraft.jar folder) I've attempted to use the "Coremods" Folder as well but when I do it starts up but nothing happens. Any ideas?

RAR? Mods should be in a zip or jar.

Read the EAQ before posting! OR ELSE!

Winrar is a zip format for the Winrar program much like 7-zip but instead of calling it a .zip it's called a .rar

rar format != zip format.

Hence the different extensions and different names.

FML only looks for .zip and .jar files.

Either way, update forge.

I do Forge for free, however the servers to run it arn't free, so anything is appreciated.
