OSX - No 'BetterThanWolves' Version in New Profile Dropdown.

Post by Mud »

I built a new computer, and am having issues installing BTW using a fresh install of MC. I found the Manual Installation page on the wiki, but my 'versions' folder does not contain a subfolder named "1.5.2." I've only played using the discontinued Legacy Launcher in the past. I do not have access to my previous install or any backups of it, so I'm stuck doing a 100% fresh install.

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

:edit:

I'm also hoping to do the install without MCPatcher.

::edit::
Got the 1.5.2 folder showing and went through the motions outlined on the wiki.

Now I have a 'BetterThanWolves' subfolder in my 'versions' folder, which contains a modified 'BetterThanWolves.jar' and 'BetterThanWolves.json' modified to direct to the 'BetterThanWolves' subfolder within the 'versions' folder.

When starting a new profile, the versions drop down menu does not contain the 'BetterThanWolves' version.

Re: Having Trouble; Fresh Install, New Launcher, No MCP

To get the 1.5.2 version using the new launcher:

start the new launcher
click "new profile" in the bottom left corner
click "use version"
scroll down to and select "release 1.5.2"
click "save profile"
click "play"

Now exit the launcher and then go to versions in the minecraft folder. 1.5.2 should be there now and you can follow the guide on the wiki.

Thanks for the help. Updated the OP with the current issue I'm having. Hoping I'm not the only person playing BTW on a Mac on these boards.

Something you are doing here is spamming this thread with new posts man, causing it to be flagged as having new content when it doesn't.

Not sure what it is, but please stop whatever it is as it's getting tiresome :)

Yes, I have it working on a Mac. Could you post a screenshot of the top part of your .json file, too, just in case?
