.exe in the new launcher does nothing for me (work computer) and are there any plans for a fix for those of us that use Macs (home computer)?

Yeah, as soon as I get a second I'll look into a mac version. I'm sure that there must be an mcportable equivalent for Mac. If not, TrIn suggested an alternative way to do things which would probably work for Mac.

/re your work Pc, are you sure it's not being blocked in some way by virus checking software/etc?

MC portable for Mac: http://tarts.cc/files/MinecraftPortable-Mac

tarts.cc is not affiliated with me in any way btw

Should be possible to use the launcher from that and the rest of the files from the LinkTart Launcher but I don't have a Mac to test this theory on.

Ok, cool. Do you have a link to TrIn's thoughts at all?

Pretty sure, I've even tried a specified exception for the file. Nothing in the event viewer either, which is odd... the process just appears in the task manager before disappearing again... :/

 

[FrenchTart]

TrIn's stuff was via a PM on LinkTart but I'll put it online sometime if the above launcher doesn't work.

I have got this in the mcp_log.log:

Minecraft Portable 2.7

Started at 2012-08-06 14:37:40.091000
Data directory: C:\Users\[super secret username]\Desktop\LinkTart_Launcher\mcp_data
Searching for login information...
- No login information found
Launching Minecraft...
- Searching for Java binaries...
Error: Could not find Java binaries.

All I've done is extract the contents of the zip into the default folder and tried running the .exe. I presume it should be looking elsewhere for anything?


I'm not too worried about it not working here on the work PC but it would be nice to be able to get on at home on my iMac...

Sounds like you don't have Java installed/updated or don't have JAVA in your path.

 

[Mat]

It's all there and I'm running the recommended update but adding the \java\ and \bin\ locations to the path makes no difference. Nothing has ever complained about it before

Dont worry too much about it.

Regarding Mac/Linux clients, the easiest way to get the client to run is to replace the .minecraft folder within "APPDATA" (or the Mac/Linux equivalent), with the .minecraft folder from the LinkTart launcher (note, backup the .minecraft folder if you still play Vanilla MC).

Then it can be executed using the Mac/Linux version of the standalone Minecraft launcher. If this doesn't work I'll try and find a solution

I just checked the new launcher. With regards to my texture pack I already had 99% of the textures done for the mods before I quit so I shall post a compatibility update on linktart later today for you.

Only take me 5mins to sort files out just takes about 2 hour to upload them at my speed .

Also not going to post a change log as lot textures have been revised since I last updated the OCUK edition of my pack. In total over 50 changes including the new ores Bios was happy about .

How big is your texture pack? We could include it in the launcher perhaps, though not sure how often we could update it.

100mb yer best bet tbh is not worth adding it to the launcher. A lot people don't like texture packs and everyone has own tastes. This update I am doing is likely the last one due to me not continuing my packs anymore. The only reason I am doing this update is because tekkit used a lot of out of date mods and I always used the latest mods for creating my packs so I had the textures ready.

How does MineZ work again?

http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2012/08/04/no-end-of-the-world-minez-is-zombie-survival-minecraft/

you get spawned at the edge of the map and have to find stuffs to survive.

I am trying to update the link on the linktart docs page not letting me saying that it is currently being edited?

Error reads
This doc is currently being edited by Lee. To prevent overwrites, you cannot edit until that user has finished. Please try again in a few minutes.

Edit: I deleted the doc and created new one the updated OCUK edition of the pack now posted enjoy

If you like I could run this as an additional server on the LinkTart dedi - could have the setup similar to the HC server that used to run (e.g. it resets at regular intervals).

I'll give it a try now!

Live map should now be working. It was generating previously but there was an error in the config on the web side

Map isn't working here for me. Just a black screen Anyone else?

Just tried the MC Portable app and it isn't working. I installed it, then just replaced the mcp_data files with the files in the Linktart launcher.

Getting this:

So I finally get some free time to go on the server, get all this new launcher and mods and whatnot. This is what I find





Lost not only the walls and ceiling of my house, but about 7 dim chests, 3 full of UU matter. 12 MFSUs, 4 HV solars, few machines, my snow generator below, my geothermal generators below that, etc, etc. Basically everything inside that 16x16 area, top to bedrock.

The only thing I can think is that about 30blocks below my house I had a tunnel borer sat on some track more or less in the centre of that chunk. They are entities like a cart or boat, maybe that has some how caused the corruption?

2 minutes later walked here




everything is covered in long grass, so much so it's eaten parts of that wooden fence?

I can't get any Mac version to work so that's buggered it all up for us Mac users. Thanks

Does anyone have a solution? Quite annoying.
