Firstly, I apologize for my lack of advanced knowledge on matters like this, but I'll try to be as detailed as possible. I've always had trouble dealing with Forge and mod installation, to the point where I gave up until today(Also, apologies if this is not the right area for this thread.).
So, as mentioned, I tried to install Forge today to install the Portal Gun, and Dragon Mounts mods. I had what you might call a 'residual' Forge profile left over from the last time I tried to install it, but since it hadn't even loaded then, I decided to try to download it all over again. I found what was apparently a Forge version for 1.8, but it wasn't the exact same thing(I believe it was called FML, but I don't know the difference unfortunately). It loaded, which was more success than I'd had previously, so I put the .zip mod files into the automatically created mods folder. When I reentered minecraft it said there were two mods installed, and two running, but those were just the Forge mods. I unzipped the files, but the folders provided nothing either.
I opened both the installers for the Forge and FML profiles, and extracted them, and deleted the profiles in the launcher, and found another Forge incarnation, though I apologize, I forget if it was for a previous version, or a 1.8 version. It wasn't FML, the profile this time just said Forge. It loaded fine, so I tried the .zip files, and then the folders, and once again, neither worked.
Sorry if anything is confusing, I'll try to clarify to the best of my ability. Help is greatly appreciated.
