Ok so I downloaded and installed modloader ---> forge ----> BTW
I did it in that order now I did have to downgrade from 1.8 to 1.7.3 to do this and for some reason right after I click not now on the upgrade button it stays on a black screen...
(Yes Meta is deleted)

when you installed did you have a clean jar?
and how did you install BTW, did you put it in the mods folder or the jar?

Or is it the right version of modloader? (1.8 is out, haven't you accidentally used that version, instead of 1.7.3?)

No I searched down modloader 1.7.3 and I put the whole BTW jar folder in the minecraft.jar

Do you have any other mods installed? Can you check your modloader.txt file in the .minecraft folder for errors?

There is no other mods and I will try it again and look for a error on mod loader

There is no modloader.txt at least I don't believe there is sense minecraft just goes directly to a black screen...

Did you install Forge?

Did you roll back to 1.7.3 before installing any of the components?
Try doing that. Other than that, I can't really see why you'd be getting an error.

I can not find the .txt and yes I use forge for some reason it just wont work and yes I backed up to 1.7.3 I think I'm gonna have to wait for a update later on down the road if I am willing to do... I just don't know why it goes straight to a black screen

2.94 of BTW requires that you also install the 1.0.6 version of Forge after installing modloader. Give it a shot with a clean jar and it should fix your problem.

Since BTW 2.95 is out now, have you tried installing everything at the minecraft 1.8.1 level? You'll also need modloader 1.8.1 and forge 1.1.1.
Also what zip utility are you using to open minecraft.jar? You need to use WinRar or 7zip, as the windows one won't work.
If you aren't getting a modloader.txt file in your .minecraft folder it doesn't sound like it's working at all.
If you still have problems try these steps:
Delete the bin folder from within your .minecraft folder, then run minecraft, this will download the latest 1.8.1 version fresh.
Open minecraft.jar with WinRar or 7zip, add the contents of the modloader 1.8.1 zip file, then delete the META-INF folder.
Close minecraft.jar and re-run minecraft to see if it works and generates a modloader.txt file.
Re-open minecraft.jar and add the forge zip file contents. Now add the contents of the minecraftjar folder in the BTW zip.
Close minecraft.jar and run minecraft and it should be working fine, or at least generate some errors in the modloader.txt file.
