Can't run client from startClient bat file

[Jadpo]

When I try to run the startClient bat file, I get this error

Error: Unable to access jarfile .\lib\mage-client-${project.version}.jar

[JayDi85]

Try to run launcher XMageLauncher-0.3.8.jar and start client by that app (you need to run update first). You can run launcher by command:

• java -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true -jar XMageLauncher-0.3.8.jar

[Jadpo]

The original launcher I downloaded from the webpage opens a command prompt file, runs a line of code, and then does nothing

[JayDi85]

• Place downloaded XMageLauncher-0.3.8.jar to any folder like d:\game\xm
• Create new file run.cmd and edit it with text editor;
• Enter that line into it: java -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true -jar XMageLauncher-0.3.8.jar
• Run that command file run.cmd by double click;
• If that's not work then go to https://www.java.com/ , download and install latest java and try again.

I created it, it ran as a batch file, and still accomplishes nothing. I have downloaded the jar file from the website as well as the entire github repository

[JayDi85]

You need only jar-file from xmage.de

Open run.cmd file and insert second line to it: pause

Run it and report black window here.

[Jadpo]

a pause command doesn't seem to change anything? Is my batch file wrong?

java -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true -jar XMageLauncher-0.3.8.jar
PAUSE

[Jadpo]

The prompt window still only appears for a half of a second or so

[JayDi85]

Yep, if you can't see black window then you are done something wrong.

After run bat-file you must see black window with logs (pause command help to stop and don't close window after run):

Example:

I understand that that is the way it should appear, but it doesn't seem to stop. Do you see an error in the code posted above?

[Jadpo]

run.txt

[Jadpo]

yes, i do have a .cmd version, but I can't post that

[JayDi85]

Error: Unable to access jarfile .\lib\mage-client-${project.version}.jar
You try run command file from downloaded github source files. It's a source and haven't real executable files.

You need to run launcher and update/download all other files from it.

[Jadpo]

I'm running it in a folder with just the launcher from the website and the .cmd file.

[JayDi85]

Try this:

• open folder with downloaded XMageLauncher-0.3.8.jar file;
• create run.cmd file and insert to it (only that one line):
  • java -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true -jar XMageLauncher-0.3.8.jar
• create run-runner.cmd file and insert to it:
  • run.cmd > logs.txt
• run run-runner.cmd, find logs.txt file in folder and report it here.

[Jadpo]

These are the files. I ran the runner batch file, and got no .txt file, as you can see

[JayDi85]

It's write access problem (by default users can't write data to program files without UAC request). Do not place files to program files. Make another folder like d:\games\xm or c:\games\xm and place launcher to it.

[Jadpo]

Moved the files to c:\games\XM and ran them, same problem. Moved them to Downloads, still nothing

[JayDi85]

Move to c:\games\xm and try run-runner step. Report it here (logs.txt or nothing). Also show your popup menu on run.cmd file (right click on it and make screenshot).

[Jadpo]

Still no .txt file

[JayDi85]

Try run it as admin (runner and/or run). If that's is not works then I can try remotely connect to your PC by https://www.teamviewer.com/en/ (download it, run once without install and send me connect codes to email jaydi85@gmail.com ).

[Jadpo]

I sent the email

[JayDi85]

All done. There were many problems like:

• need to save cmd files by text editor in ANSI format, not unicode;
• need to setup hosts file with 127.0.0.1 localhost
• need to disable ipv6 priority to ipv4 (use that fix -- download file "Prefer IPv4 over IPv6 in prefix policies", run it and restart pc.
