DragonAPI crash

[L0NExW0LF]

Been having a problem when trying to load DragonAPI and Geostrata into my modpack. Using a fresh instance I've narrowed the crash to DragonAPI. @Reika

Edit: I should add that it crashes on start up

.jar.zip.

Oops. Guess I overlooked that. Thanks for pointing that out.

.jar.zip.

Don't you have code that is supposed to detect that? I wonder why it is not always working

Mods can do that? .3.

This is supposed to do the trick

Sorry for getting off topic but, If I really wanted too, I could create a mod that changes everything in the minecraft folder to "Darude - Sandstorm" for example

Yes, mods do have access to the file system. They can act as viruses as well.

So basically, what you are saying is I can make a mod that makes it so when you right click a specific item, it will run a command on your computer to delete 32?

You could. You would be rightfully vilified, but you could.


As for the detector not working...I have no idea. The only thing I can think of is that it is missing the extension somehow.

That it some truly evil spooky shiz o.o

It's why you need to get your mod from a trusted source, FTB packs and modders direct DL's are the only safe bets. Even then, the modder themselves need to be reputable as well.

Well... If the code is in Dragon API and the .zip thing was stopping it from loading, how pray tell could DragonAPI's code work to remedy the problem when it can't be loaded?

It was not completely stopping it from loading, else this particular error wouldn't have happened. Problem is that with .zip files access transformers and some other stuff is being ignored.

The .jar.zip code runs well before the crash should occur.
