All I want is help... can anyone give a good 'ol minecrafter a hand?

[ProtheAngel]

Yes, but I don't think it's not doing what it's supposed to, but I'm not sure. What is it supposed to do?

 

[Henry Link]

Force update is supposed to force a re-download the pack from the servers. Can you paste up the console log once you get the error? It is sort of hard to help without some information about what is going on.

 

[ProtheAngel]

Well whenever I press it nothing happens...

 

[ProtheAngel]

Also, what do you mean by pasting the error? I already pasted it here and in FTB paste!

 

[Henry Link]

You are correct I missed that post somehow. Anyway, seems to be a problem with Java. First you have a LOT of java installed. Second somehow on line 10 you told the launcher what version to use. Which isn't the recommend version (java 8 is). So I would remove all of the extra java including the jdk unless you do java programing. All you need is the java 8 runtime or jre. Also make sure it is a 64 bit version of java you keep. Then remove what ever setting you have in the launcher that is forcing the java 7.

Also the memory settings seem a little off or maybe reported wrong that should be 3072m not 3072 for max and min should be 256m.

1. Setting MinMemory to 256
2. Setting MaxMemory to 3072
3. Defaulting PermSize to 256m

 

[ProtheAngel]

That's weird... I don't have multiple java installations though, I deleted them all! Unless I need to uninstall them.

 

[ProtheAngel]

Oh wait I just realized I actually have a LOT of java installations on the task manager. WELP. Time for uninstallation.

 

[ProtheAngel]

OK... so I fixed at least one problem. I think. Now I have this:

And here's the paste ver. http//paste.feed-the-beast.com/view/27ab188d

 

[Henry Link]

I'm still curious about the memory settings. Is that 256m and 2304m?

Setting MinMemory to 256
Setting MaxMemory to 2304

 

[ProtheAngel]

How do you set the settings? I know you can set the RAM usage, but how do you set the memory usage?

 

[Robijnvogel]

How do you set the settings? I know you can set the RAM usage, but how do you set the memory usage?

Those are one and the same thing.

If there's an option to set java flags or arguments in the Curse launcher's options, you may need to remove those values described earlier from that section.

 

[ProtheAngel]

Ah I see. Well where is that particular section located? (The java flags)

 

[Robijnvogel]

I hoped you could find that on your own, since I never got the Curse Launcher working myself and luckily have never needed to. That program is a dragon... *

There is probably some settings- or options menu somewhere. Logical keywords that come to mind are "java" and "startup".

*It's good to note that I am helping you with general Minecraft launcher stuff here that is applicable to all kinds of Minecraft launches, not just curse voice.

 

[ProtheAngel]

I'm actually using FTB launcher! Anyways, I'll go search for it.

 

[TheDeviantOne]

I had the very same problem before with the flm. All I had to fix was my Java. I cleared all versions then downloaded java 1.8 64bit.
Make sure it's 64 bit otherwise it'll not work.

 

[ProtheAngel]

I have 64 bit java.

 

[DeathOfTime]

Sorry, thought I read the entire thread. Didn't realize I missed the 2nd page. could have sworn i clicked to go to it.

First off my main issue. Whenever I tried downloading a resource pack I accidentally deleted "pack.mcmeta" for the default resource pack and I was wondering where I could download it and where to place after the download the second issue I will discuss after my first one is resolved.

??? I remember there being a thing with old version of minecraft about deleting a folder within the jar when adding mods to it. That isn't need anymore. Forge does all that and is pretty much standard for mods now. The resource packs should just go in the "resourcepacks" folder of the insance. going into minecraft and opening the area where you choose the texture pack will give you the option of loading the correct place to put it from there.

Adding map 1 (FTB Trident Default Map)
Adding map 2 (Agrarian Skies Default Map)
Adding map 3 (Agrarian Skies Flat Map)
Adding map 4 (Agrarian Skies Server Map)
Adding map 5 (Direwolf20 Map Ep.0)
Adding map 6 (FTB Pax Challenge)
Adding map 7 (Direwolf20 Map Ep.0)
Adding map 8 (Direwolf20 Map Ep.10)
Adding map 9 (Direwolf20 Map Ep.20)
Adding map 10 (Direwolf20 Map Ep.30)
Adding map 11 (Direwolf20 Map Ep.40)
Adding map 12 (Direwolf20 Map Ep.50)
Adding map 13 (Direwolf20 Map Ep.80)
Adding map 14 (FTB Normal)
Adding map 15 (FTB Insanity)
Adding texture pack 1 (Soartex Fanver)
Adding texture pack 2 (Jadedcat Mixpack)
Adding texture pack 3 (Invictus)
Adding texture pack 4 (Faithful)
Adding texture pack 5 (JohnSmith Technicians Remix)
Adding texture pack 6 (Familiar yet Different)

Is that default? Most those maps won't be compatible at all with that pack. Some might even outright crash the client while it is doing the initial loading.

The FTB Launcher has found the following Java versions installed:

This is likely it though. It is using java 7. Not even sure that packs will work with java 7. You really need to clean out all those java versions. Go to the java site and get the latest 64 bit java and install it. Only after uninstalling all the other javas. (are you using something like MCafee. It will pull stuff like this. Auto updating software and totally messing up while doing it)


Edit:
Curses options for minecraft are in curse settings under the minecraft tab. java version used, memory allocation and I think even additional arguments for java can are there.

 

[ProtheAngel]

That issue is solved. That issue is for vanilla Minecraft. Although I didn't specify too well .
This issue is FOR FTB LAUNCHER.

 

[ProtheAngel]

I'm done. I give up. I can't get it to work. Nothing works. Thanks for all your help though. I have a new issue about commands in vanilla minecraft. It will be a new discussion though, so you can go there if you want.
