Having Trouble with 3.6 Install

[Splee999]

I've just tried to install BTW 3.6 onto a squeaky clean, just downloaded Minecraft 1.2.5, with Risugami's newest modloader. The game gets to the Mojang launch screen, but then it crashes. It shows an official crash screen, but I can't grab the text from it because it shuts itself before I can get there. I've tried the install a few times, to make sure I didn't miss any files or forget to delete META-INF, but I'm not having any luck. I've had this mod work just fine on almost every other version of Minecraft, and I hope to keep using it.

Anyone got any suggestions?

There's a modloader.txt located in your .minecraft folder. Please post it.

Also, a few things you have to make sure to do:

1) Install Modloader before Better Than Wolves.

2) Delete META-INF. (You said that you did this.).

3) Install everything in the MINECRAFT-JAR folder of the BTW folder, not just the BTW folder itself.

4) Make sure that you're using a 1.2.5 jar. (You said that you're using 1.2.5.).

Also, are you using any other mods?

[Splee999]

All right, I tried one more install with a fresh jar, making sure I used all of your idiot-proofing steps, a fresh modloader, and a fresh BTW straight from the MCF. It crashed the exact same way. One thing I noticed, though, is that the fresh file from the mirror MCF links to doesn't have the folders the mod is usaully packaged in. It just has all the files straight in the folder, which I have just been dropping into the jar. Is this normal? I remember BTW being packed into neat little folders in the past.

Also, here's the modloader.txt

Did you put the entire rar in or just the folder Minecraft-Jar?

I assume you are asking if I just smacked the rar straight into the jar, which I didn't. I dragged and dropped all of its contents into my jar, like normal. The only different thing was the lack of folders within the jar, which is what a fresh download is.

[walker_boh_65]

It looks like you might be adding BTW to the mods folder, not the minecraft jar.

Or maybe (as said above) not using the CONTENTS of the MINECRAFT-JAR folder.

Nope, I dropped the files into the Minecraft jar. And, as I have mentioned, the fresh download did not seem to contain a MINECRAFT-JAR folder, just the .class files and a few other assorted files.

Then my next question would be (as last time i checked FC didn't get rid of the folders) where did you find this BTW download?

It's the link to the BTW MCF page straight off of the BTW wiki installation help page.

http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/253 ... pd-apr-19/

It's the very first download link on the page, isn't it?

[Yamboyz1]

Try this EXACTLY:

1. Back up your saves and delete the .minecraft folder.

2. Run Minecraft.

3. Re-download BTW from the MCF thread.

4. Re-download Modloader from the MCF thread.

5. Open up your Minecraft.jar with 7zip. (Sometimes WinRAR is buggy.).

6. Delete the META-INF folder from your Minecraft.jar

7. Extract the contents from your Modloader folder to your Minecraft.jar. You can make sure that you extract all of them by using control+A then control+C instead of simply highlighting the files and dragging them. (Also, make sure to replace the files in the Minecraft.jar.).

8. Open up your BTW3.60 folder.

9. Open up the MINECRAFT-JAR folder in that.

10. Extract the files from the MINECRAFT-JAR folder to your Minecraft.jar folder. Again, control+A, make sure to replace, you've read it all before.



If that doesn't work, I can't help you, man.

EDIT: Don't forget to add back in your saves!

Yup. All idiot proofing steps followed to the letter, and MC is still crashing. It could be the computer I'm using or something, I don't use the one I'm on very often. (FYI it's not a Mac, followed that imaginary step as well.) Maybe it's a wolfaboo at heart. (Or CPU, whatever.) Thanks for the try at least.

[Dry Paratroopa]

I'm not sure if this is the same as extraction, but open up the modloader/BTW folders using 7zip as well, and copy them over from there.

Just tested the download you mentioned.
I get the normal BTW3-60.zip with the folders FORGE-SRC and MINECRAFT-JAR and three files in it.

Could you try to download it againand check if you get the right one?
If you still get only a zip with class files directly inside there's definitely something weird. Try downloading from another pc, if possible.

Okay, I re downloaded on my main PC and the mod worked fine. I guess my backup PC really is a wolfaboo. Thanks for the help everyone.
