"Java JAR could not be launched".

I don't know if I have Java 6 on my Mac, maybe Willem or someone can try this out.

We haven't tested on macs (none available) but in theory it SHOULD work. I guess you don't have java 6.

If you can, try to start with "java -jar quakeinjector.jar" and pastebin the output for me, that would probably help.

Wow

FAQ Says It Doesn't

Can't check yet because I'm in three projects today.

Amazing

But I'm a bit afraid to check it out, my quake dir is already a mess!

"C:\Users\alex\desktop\quake" Cannot Be Written To!

#9 posted by meTch on 2009/05/29 00:03:07

but "C:\Users\alex" can, :S? is this something im doing wrong, other than having the quake folder on my desktop for ease of access?

Edit

#10 posted by meTch on 2009/05/29 00:04:20

that's "C:\Users\alex\desktop\quake" there only

like you guys don't have java6? I remember the mac version for 6 being delayed some time.

You can check your java version with java -version.

is that from the engine config dialog? what's the full, exact path you put? is that & a mistake in markup/ a typo? are you sure the path is writeable? which one of the fields?

I'm using the java lib functions for those checks, so i'm pretty sure they should work well with all paths, unless there's some fuckup on my part that makes it check the wrong paths in the first place.

just copy the engine and id1/pak0.pak and id1/pak1.pak to some new directory and start from a clean install ;-)

Megaman,

the "&..." stuff gets added her for some reason when i type out the full dir, it ends at the folder "quake". it is the "engine configuration" dialog, under the type box [the place where you type stuff of course] labeled "quake directory"; i put in the path and the comment next to it says "cannot be written to!"

Metch ... Using Vista?

Vista can be cruel.

/a guess ... even possibly a wrong guess

Java 6

There is a Java 6 VM for themac, and it should be installed on every Mac running Leoopard. But you have to specifiy which Java version you want to use as the default for running programs. Go to /Applications/Utilities/Java and launch Java Settings (don't know the exact english name). There, change the order of priority of the VMs so that Java 6 64bit is on top. Now it should work.
