Hello!
I've found something that I feel is rather odd; but I'm not sure if it's a Forge issue or a Java issue (or some completely random issue that I'm currently blind to).
Anyways, here's the log:
I've done a couple little tests, finding that it didn't matter how I started forge, (via external jar or inputting into the server.jar), and then I noticed the 'FileNotFoundException' pointing to a 'file' that was:
C:\Users\williamb\Desktop\Server_test\Server\Other_Servers
...which is clearly not a file; rather it was a directory.
Poking around, it seemed to be looking for the library files, which are in THIS directory:
C:\Users\williamb\Desktop\Server_test\Server\Other_Servers!\NinjaLand2\lib
So, I did a test by simply moving the NinjaLand2 folder (which contains the server and forge jars) to my desktop, (dropping three layers off the directory path) and there was no issue; the server ran perfectly fine.
So, yeah, I fixed it, but I was wondering if this is something someone could fix for others or something...?
Thanks!
Edit: Whoa! Wait! I just noticed that there was a '!' missing... and, well, apparently Java doesn't like exclamation points in the file path. Removing the exclamation point in the 'Other_Servers!' folder fixed the problem without having to move anything anywhere.
Didn't know that; my bad!
