@cathode: Your issue is the version Java you're using. Apparently the 2.2 version only supports Java 8. Which you can get from here: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jre8-downloads-2133155.html

But I'm also having an issue, because it requires an externalconfig.txt as well...and that's not autogenerated.

@craniumguy It seems like you have to host your own config.json (and branches.json) now, since cloudfare is blocking the requests from the patcher due their "human check". Don't know if that's intended or not.

In the meantime I got a gradle based fork up and running with a explanation in the README, maybe you can get it running there: https://github.com/Chefeification/Texture-Patcher

If there are any problems with the fork use the Issue tracker there.

We are aware of the problem regarding CloudFlare we are in the works with a fix but this will take time to do so. This was a problem we never expected to encounter but the bug was found a few hours are the server relocation and a fix was started then. We expect it to be working again at a maximum of a week to 2 weeks. Due to our provider having a holiday so contact with them is scarce at the moment.

@artdude543 Good to hear ;)

Will be uploading a new build in a few mins

[artdude543]

And here it be the release contains the customizable version and this download is for the Fanver version http://dl.soartex.net/1gakr

@artdude543 I got switched to okhttp (witch fixes the cloudfare thingy due its user agent setting) and head requests for file checks, it loads quite faster now. Maybe we should consider a merge?

[artdude543]

Hmm, leme talk to the other developers we are planning on re-making the whole patcher system at some point but your idea does sound a bit better than the current "hackish" way I have the bug fixed.
