Windows .exe New to FTB, downloaded and played already, how do I launch it again?

danmines · Nov 14, 2012

Windows 7 64 bit
Java 6
FTB launcher 1.0.4
Minecraft 1.4.2

Just downloaded the launcher through the .exe this afternoon, loaded a seed and played for about half an hour, everything looked like it worked perfectly. Total noob question, but how do I launch it again? If i click on the regular minecraft icon, it brings back vanilla. When I was playing the icon for the program had the Java icon on it, don't know if that means anything. Do I go again through the FTB launcher? It'd be nice if there were a like a how-to for starting up the game. I try going through the launcher again and it's taking it's sweet time saying 'please wait while mods are being loaded', then I click launch, and nothing. I don't know what I'm doing, help please!

also, this is what the launcher console says thus far in my efforts

(for some reason the console log appears transparent when I paste it here,but if you click and drag it shows up)

Ashzification · Nov 14, 2012

Always go through the launcher

Lawbroken · Nov 14, 2012

*Edited post to show Error log that isn't colored white*

danmines · Nov 14, 2012

Ok, thanks! Is it normal for the launcher to say the whole "wait while mods are being loaded" deal? It seems like it's stuck on that and if I click 'Launch' nothing happens

Lawbroken · Nov 14, 2012

Is there anything happening in the console log?

danmines · Nov 14, 2012

The log seems different this time, and off the bat Fatal Error 1.3 is staring at me. And how do I change my console log so it isn't appearing white? D:

Problem alert! You should have Java 7, not Java 6.

Lawbroken · Nov 14, 2012

Danmines, Can you please copy and paste into notepad before here.

Dunno why but it is setting your text to white.

*Edited post to show Error log that isn't colored white*

danmines · Nov 14, 2012

oo, good idea, so java 7 would help?
also, the launcher at least seems to be loading properly to the pack selection screen at least. I click on pack A, click Launch and then nothing.
The launcher closes like and the console info changes, but no MC comes up.

Ashzification · Nov 14, 2012

Is there any more to that log?

danmines · Nov 14, 2012

after I click launch, the console log clears and that stuff appears.

Ashzification · Nov 14, 2012

Ok, go into the folder where you have your launcher saved. Look for FTBLauncherLog.txt
When you've found that, open it. If it's larger than about half a page, copy/paste it into pastebin, then post the link for the paste

danmines · Nov 14, 2012

good gravy that's a lot of text!

Well, this is the issue *I think*:

Code:

 04:16:39 [INFO] net.ftb.gui.LauncherConsole$OutputOverride.write:65 From Console: java.lang.SecurityException: class "ln"'s signer information does not match signer information of other classes in the same package

I'm going to google this. I will return when I have a respectable, hopefully helpful, answer for you!

danmines · Nov 14, 2012

most thanks! thanks for keeping a ready eye on the tech support forum! Lawbroken you too!

Ashzification · Nov 14, 2012

When all else fails, and life gets you down, troll the tech support sections and try to help your fellow gamer!

I'm waiting to hear back about job applications, so I don't have much else to do

You are making a profile with your Minecraft(Or Mojang email address) and password as well?

If not then the launcher wont download the packs.

danmines · Nov 14, 2012

yea, it's what I use to log into vanilla MC

Ashzification · Nov 14, 2012

What antivirus are you using?

danmines · Nov 14, 2012

the free AVG , uh, one thing I haven't tried yet is to uninstall/reinstall, should I try that?

Windows .exe New to FTB, downloaded and played already, how do I launch it again?
