Launcher Version: Build 253

Operating System: Mac OS X

Java Version: Java 7

Antivirus Program:

Description of Problem:

Getting a white screen on launch, then nothing happens.

NOTE THIS IS FOR MAC OS

--------------------------------------

Step 1: What I did was this:

  1. Go to your desktop and have nothing selected (click on your desktop to be sure).
  2. Up at the top menu choose 'Go' - 'Go to folder'
  3. When the window prompt opens type inside of it '~/Library'
  4. This will then open up your personal Library which is normally hidden from view
  5. Inside that folder choose 'Application Support' and find the folder called 'technic' and trash it (because we are going to do a fresh install again so we don't need it)

Note* If you are worried about losing anything then back that folder up. There was nothing in it that I needed so I just got rid of the whole lot. I am pretty sure you won't need it either.

Step 2: Once you have done that move onto the following:

  1. Go back to your desktop and create a folder called 'Technic'
  2. Then download the 'Technic Launcher - Build 253' from here: http://www.technicpack.net/download
  3. Once that is done get the downloaded launcher file which is called 'TechnicLauncher.jar' and put it inside your 'Technic' folder that you just created on your desktop.
  4. Then open up the application called 'Text Edit' and once it's open choose from the menu 'Format' -'Make Plain Text'

Copy and paste this code into that file:

export JAVA_HOME=/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.6/Home

java -Xmx1024M -Xms1024M -jar ~/Desktop/Technic/TechnicLauncher.jar


 

Save the new file into the folder you created on your desktop which is called 'Technic' and call it 'technic_launcher.command'

 

So by now you should have a folder on your desktop called 'Technic' and inside it should be 2 files, one called 'TechnicLauncher.jar' and the other called 'technic_launcher.command'.

 

Step 3: Now do the following:
  1. Now open the application called 'Terminal' which you can find here - 'Applications' - 'Utilities' - 'Terminal'
  2. Once that is open do not do anything, just type directly into it the text 'chmod a+x' and then add a space after it - do NOT hit enter!
  3. Open the 'Technic' folder on your desktop and drag the 'technic_launcher.command' file into 'Terminal' right after where you stopped typing, so just after the space. You will see that it adds the file name and location into 'Terminal' for you
  4. Once that is done you can now hit 'Enter'
That should now be you, to start up the 'Launcher' just double click on your file called 'technic_launcher.command' and let it run. I hope this helps, good luck! Special thanks goes to Fido488 for coming up with a solution to this problem! Error Messages: Error Log:

Are you using double clicking on the technic_launcher.command to start the launcher?

Also, check the new thread. I added pictures. You might see where you went wrong.

No shit it doesn't work. Maybe you shouldn't be looking at a necroed post from 2013. There were other issues back then. You probably just have java 12 while you shouldn't be using that. Use java 8.

Change the file "technic_launcher.command" code to this exactly:

 

  


export JAVA_HOME=/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.6/Home

java -Xmx1024M -Xms1024M -jar ~/Desktop/Technic/TechnicLauncher.jar

 

So follow all the steps above and make sure the code you use is identical to the above. That should be it, hopefully. If it works let me know please.

This is the same code and it still doesn’t work for me
