So recently It has came to my attention that not all server owners are able to use the server start.bat that FTB provides for the server download versions of the packs. I my self was fine but some friends I have have had issues.
The issue is created by java versions, Most people with an issue will just see a cmd prompt flash and then disappear really quickly with out even being able to read it. quite annoying in fact.
Below is a more complicated start up script that Handles a wider area of java versions and will start the server regardless of the version installed.
In the above code ( the bat file) you will need to replace JARNAME with the modpacks jar file name ( This being its own name for each pack is a whole other issue and point of frustration for me but this is not the place for that. )
So can we please have this handed out with the server files instead of the crap one version wonder we have now?
Please note I take no credit for the above code I merely found it when using Google. It has helped me a ton over the last 2 years so I decided to share.
EDIT----------------------------------------
I have updated the start lines to include nogui as bukkitforge warns against it. if you need it still just remove the nogui from the end of each line
