installed new version and game crashed, **FIXED**

[myrrdan]

I had copied the original minecraft.jar when i installed minecraft 1.7.3
I then made a copy of the minecraft.jar for the working mods i used.
I downloaded the new BTW version.
deleted current minecraft.jar, copied, pasted, renamed original minecraft.jar.
opened minecraft.jar, deleted the meta.inf.
installed modloader. (works with and without other mods)
installed btw.
started game.
it went through to where u can select world.
started to load, then saving chunks and crashed.
restarted game, clicked create new.
started loading, then saving chunks and crashed.
deleted minecraft.jar. copied etc original minecraft.jar.
deleted new saved world. (since it crashed on creation)
starts to load,
shows mojang splash screen.
the then brownish patterned background for a few seconds, then something flashes, looks like a white error screen, way to fast to catch, then i get the black screen.
I have tried with the working minecraft.jar files i had with the working mods, and just the original minecraft.jar.
and I still get the same error.
Any ideas?

Modloader version, i had same problem with modloader 1.7.2

Meta-inf?

[myrrdan]

Modloader version, i had same problem with modloader 1.7.2

oh, ok, i'll try to find the newest modloader..
though any ideas why using the original minecraft.jar still gives me blackscreen?

the meta-inf folder in the minecraft.jar . . . instructions say to remove it.

edit..
have the newest 1.7.3 modloader.

[myrrdan]

Fixed.
it was a compatibility issue with my textures.
I removed all texture packs.
reloaded the modloader, then btw and works like a charm!
awesome.
so question, is BTW compatible with texture mods or was it that a texture pack was
defaulted and it was crashing?
am i able to use texture packs now or no?

I don't see why texture packs would cause a problem, since the only things they change are the images the game loads, not the actual block id's or anything. Perhaps it's a problem with your HD Patcher? I run DokuCraft just fine with BTW.

As far as i know, hd patcher is up to date as well. I downloaded everything new.
Not sure why it did that, but hey, its working great now so I'm happy . . :)

*edit*

i'm not too bright.. sigh..
i realized after my last reply, that while i downloaded everything, I had forgotten to
actually RUN the patcher after i installed everything LMAO.
Works with textures..

So thank you for mentioning it, else I would never have tried them again lol.
Now if only I could figure out the elevator thing lol.

[myrrdan]

ok, and now theres another problem
I ran the patcher.
Loaded my game, and it had erased everything that wasn't standard minecraft.
I removed the texture pack i was using, and everythings still gone, and whats more,
I checked, and none of the items that are not standard are available...
Are there only certain textures allowed or have I missed doing something?

The patcher probably uninstalled the mod.

How did you install the mods and texture packs? There are, as far as I know, no limits on what texture packs you can use; they simply edit HOW the game looks, not what's inside the game itself, as the mods do. What I would suggest is this:

1) Download newest version of stuff (I'm assuming you've done this)
2) Install your texture pack on a blank .jar and run the patcher. Run minecraft to ensure your texture pack installed correctly.
3) Install all mods desired. Make sure to copy BTW directly from the MINECRAFT-JAR folder inside of the .zip into your minecraft.jar
4) Run. You shouldn't have to worry about the patcher, since it only interacts with the texture packs (Well, and any mods you've selected for it to interact with)

thank you for the suggestions.
i was going to. but after the last time and having all the btw items disappear, as suggested, possibly because btw was uninstalled. I don't want to risk it lol
i've finally got a 9 burner cauldron working via a switch
am in the process of trying to figure out a working way of creating an automatic
elevator.
i've seen lots of video's on youtube on it, but none of them explain it enuf for me to understand.
so needless to say, i don't want to lose my work LoL.
will check it out one of these days, as long as i stay out of my world i should be fine,
else i'll just move the saved game for now lol.
thanks again :)
