Chrisitan Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 I have java 7 and every time i try and play any type of tekkit mod pack on my mac my it loads the mods and right when it closes out of the login screen and "fml" is setting up my game or whatever, fml closes first then the window. I've tried reinstalling java 7, trying all the mod packs, restarting my computer, deleting EVERYTHING tekkit and then redownloading and nothing seems to work! any help would be great! thanks! Quote
weirleader Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 what version of LWJGL do you have (should be in the logs)? Quote
Chrisitan Posted July 23, 2013 Author Posted July 23, 2013 i checked and the only thing in the logs folder was "techniclaucher_0.log" i think it had that because i was never successfully able to launch tekkit so it didnt get the version Quote
weirleader Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 sorry, my brain wasn't in gear earlier -- are you using Mac or PC? That's a good place to start... Quote
weirleader Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 okay, so I guessed right; but I should have asked that first. So that suggests you probably have the (very common) problem of a Java version that doesn't play nice with the LWJGL (that's the LightWeight Java Game Library). As it happens, you cannot run Java 7 on a Mac with the default LWJGL version. You would need to either downgrade to Java 6 (which likely means a complete Java uninstall followed by a Java 6 install) OR manually upgrade your install's LWJGL to 2.9 (I can't give you any help there, as I know very little about Macs). to check your version, go to the Terminal and type "java -version" The catch is that the Java 7 / LWJGL 2.9 combo seems to cause upside-down graphics unless you run in full screen. So keep that in mind when deciding upon a course of action. I'm sure a fix for LWJGL is in the works, but there's no telling how long it will take. Quote
Chrisitan Posted July 23, 2013 Author Posted July 23, 2013 So through all my efforts of uninstalling java 7 (which terminal still says I have) and installing java 6 (never ended up working) I cannot even open the technic launcher now Quote
weirleader Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 sorry to hear it's not going smoothly. A quick Google came up with this -- I don't know if it'll help or not. Perhaps some kind Mac user will take pity on us and save the day with clear and useful instructions. Quote
Chrisitan Posted July 24, 2013 Author Posted July 24, 2013 Ok something's wrong, I checked what java version I have at the java website, it says java 6. I use the "java -version" command and it says in running 7... Quote
Dewfire Posted July 25, 2013 Posted July 25, 2013 Sell your Mac and buy two pc's with the money? Quote
Chrisitan Posted July 25, 2013 Author Posted July 25, 2013 Haha good one. But I'm not ready to get rid of my Mac, I have absolutely no idea what kind of pc I should get Quote
weirleader Posted July 25, 2013 Posted July 25, 2013 you might want to keep an eye on this thread. Quote
Chrisitan Posted July 25, 2013 Author Posted July 25, 2013 Thank you so much I have some advice for getting the screen right side up to! Quote
Chrisitan Posted July 25, 2013 Author Posted July 25, 2013 Alright, so Imma spare u some time I've managed to copy the files from LWJGL when u download it and tried launching the game and it worked, only one little problem, the game is upside I don't understand what he means by that or how he got the game running..? Do you have any advice? It worked for him it i just don't understand Quote
Fido488 Posted July 25, 2013 Posted July 25, 2013 I really wish I had seen this before you went through all of the hassle of this. The fix is really easy. 1) Create a folder on your desktop and put your TechnicLauncher inside 2) Create a new text edit file and paste this into it export JAVA_HOME=/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.6/Home java -Xmx1024M -Xms1024M -jar ~/Desktop/[FILE NAME GOES HERE]/TechnicLauncher.jar 3) Make the file plaintext (Under format) 4) Save the file as TechnicRun.command 5) Open terminal and type chmod a+x Do not press enter 4) drag the TechnicRun.command file into the terminal and press return. 5) PLAY AND HAVE FUN! This solution evaded me for the longest time. Please please please pass it on to anyone else who is having problems with a mac. It is a hell of a lot easier than trying to downgrade java manually. Hope this helps! Quote
whynownot Posted July 25, 2013 Posted July 25, 2013 I am having a similar problem on a Windows 7 Home Premium Acer V5-531. I get Tekkit uploaded and it freezes at the "Mojang" screen. Quote
Fido488 Posted July 25, 2013 Posted July 25, 2013 I am having a similar problem on a Windows 7 Home Premium Acer V5-531. I get Tekkit uploaded and it freezes at the "Mojang" screen. You are probably having a problem with a particular mod and not with the launcher. Once the Mojang screen has appeared you are into the mod pack. Quote
whynownot Posted July 25, 2013 Posted July 25, 2013 The particular mod in question is Tekkit. Plain average Tekkit. Quote
Chrisitan Posted July 25, 2013 Author Posted July 25, 2013 I did exactly what you said and the exact same thing is happening. I open the technic launcher console and it just crashes for no reason. No errors. Nothing. I've tried literally EVERYTHING to get tekkit working and it just wont. Quote
Fido488 Posted July 25, 2013 Posted July 25, 2013 Completely restart from scratch. Move your current Technic Launcher directory somewhere else. Redownload the Launcher. Make sure you have java 6 downloaded from here: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/archive-139210.html Then try my fix to see if if helps. Quote
Chrisitan Posted July 25, 2013 Author Posted July 25, 2013 I found it guys! I can play! Someone made a script and a launcher to go through terminal to bypass the crash! I can finally play thank you everyone for the help it is very greatly appreciated! Quote
matcaird Posted July 27, 2013 Posted July 27, 2013 Fido 488 script worked for me on Os X 10.8.4 Thanks FIDO Quote
matcaird Posted July 28, 2013 Posted July 28, 2013 Hi Fido, this script worked for me. Thanks for posting. Can you tell me how to get it to run on my son's user account please, on my MBP, OSx 10.8.4. He is a standard user, and when he launches the script, it errors out with "insufficient permissions". Using the "get info" right click action, authenticating as admin, and trying to set permissions doesn't work as there is no option for 'execute'. Regards, Mat Quote
matcaird Posted July 28, 2013 Posted July 28, 2013 Actually, I sussed it using chmod. It appears 'get info' dosen't let you add 'execute' as a permission Mats-MacBook-Pro:~ ed$ cd desktop Mats-MacBook-Pro:desktop ed$ ls BukkitServerTechnicRun.commandtech Skypestart bukkit server Mats-MacBook-Pro:desktop ed$ chmod 777 TechnicRun.command Mats-MacBook-Pro:desktop ed$ Quote
