Launch.bat not working properly.

[RavingRHM]

Whenever I launch my Tekkit Lite server with the .bat the server came with, it start the server and looks like it is doing fine, but will not connect to the internet, it will only stay local. But, when I launch the TekkitLite jar file, the server works, and will let others join.

I would be fine with the jar, but some plugins mess up when I'm using it.

Why is this happening?

The plugins probably don't work with Tekkit-Lite. Or, you aren't using a newer build of BukkitForge, which might eliminate the problem you're encountering.

As for the jar working and not the bat, it seems weird, but, there may be something in the batch file that needs to be adjusted, such as port info or something of that type. Try opening it in word and seeing what all is on it.

All the batch file says is:

java -Xmx3G -Xms2G -jar TekkitLite.jar nogui

pause

Older versions of the Tekkit server used to work by just launching the batch, but this one doesn't.

And I'm assuming the plugin problem is a problem with running just the jar, because when I launch it, it tells me "BukkitForge plugins may misbehave when using the gui! Run the server with 'nogui'!" (Which I can't do because the batch file does not work.)

I have the updated versions of both BukkitForge, and Essentials, but still Essentials "misbehaves".

how much memory are you allocating to the server to run? Currently, it looks to me like it starts with 3 gigs and then drops to 2 gigs. You could try switching the 2 and 3, see if that makes a difference, or, make them the same number.

I swapped the 2 and the 3, and reran the batch, and it gave me this error:

Error occurred during initialization of VM

Incompatible minimum and maximum heap sizes specified

When I made them both '3', it would do the same thing as before; let me connect locally, but my server wouldn't show for others.

Are you using Tekkit-Lite 0.5.7 or 0.6.0?

Also, check to make sure your port is forwarded, and also make sure that the server.properties file is reflecting the exact same port number. Then, make sure your firewall also allows Java full access. Finally, go to ipchicken.com to get the internet IP address for your machine, and have your friends connect using that.

Lower both numbers to 2.
