b.89 Launcher failure

[Shadowfireomega]

I am trying to help a friend get her maptool started, but something is going wrong with the Maptool Launcher.Jar, she has:
Java 6
Maptool pointed at java 6
build 89.
windows 7 32-bit

usually the error dissapears when the cmd prompt flashes, but we ran the launcher from cmd itself and this is what we got:

anyone know what is happening?

I do have some files and a video to help people install the upgraded version of the MapTool launcher. It also shows how to fix the batch file which is what I think your problem is. If you watch the first 2 1/2 minutes of video that would probably get you up and going. The video goes on with more details about the new launcher and making shortcuts, but that just extra stuff.

will this keep at b89, or will this update to b91? unfortunately we cannot upgrade to 91 until our DM does, which he does not plan to for a while for some reason.

Uninstall Java 6. Install Java 7 with b89 and later. Preferably 64 bit java if she is running a 64 bit OS.

Make her a Launch.bat file using the following:

Code: Select all

set STACK=4M
set MAXMEM=1024M
set JAVA=javaw
set VERS=1.3.b89

start "MapTool" %JAVA% -Xmx%MAXMEM% -Xss%STACK% -jar maptool-%VERS%.jar run

Post her Help>Gather Debug Information results here if that doesn't solve the problem.

The short answer with the least amount of changes needs it probably, edit the 1k bat file and put "set " before the vers line and run that batch file (all in my video in the link I provided).

Full Bleeds solution is the same thing but fancier You may have to do some digging for java 7 32bit (you said she didn't have 64bit) download, but it's probably a good idea, but should work with java 6 as well.

The link I provided is for B89. I just hijacked the B91 launcher and made it compatible for B89. (Again, all in the short video I made.)
