Technic now installs itself as a standalone install of MC with everything pre-installed. It still uses Minecraft's regular login, it's not bypassing the normal stuff. Point being, they don't keep up to date with the latest versions of the game. It's 1.1, it doesn't work with 1.2.3.
ah. thanks. well i figured that out shortly after installing, i was a bit surprised how zombies were coming straight at me instead of pathing around stuff. of course, theres no problem with that. infact, i've never been so immersed in minecraft, except for on my first ever world.
