That's why I'm trying to get it to work on windows (which it currently doesn't for some reason...) and then I'll use py2exe or pyinstaller to make an exe file which does not require python.

Okay, I'll see what I can do. I'll have to port my scripts to Python 2, though. Maybe I'll try 3to2.

Just get a clean minecraft.jar file (Currently at http://assets.minecraft.net/1_4_6/minecraft.jar ) then install a new version of forge again.

What do you mean by idiot proof? If you really think it could be helpful I'd be happy to idiot-proof it by handling anything the user throws at it and adding a GUI. One step toward idiot-proof, this one will download forge: http://pastie.org/5606751 (Python 3.x) And a GUI: http://pastie.org/5608431

Did you delete all of META-INF or just everything that started with MOJANG_C in META-INF?

I recently wrote a python script which modifies the minecraft_server.jar and minecraft.jar files and I was wondering why something like this hasn't been done before. It took me a very long time to figure out how to install Minecraft Forge into the jar file because the file always became corrupted when I tried to do it. Therefore, I thought it would be easier if Minecraft Forge just provided some type of installer like the one below. Here are the files: Python 3.x: http://pastie.org/5602598 Python 2.7+: http://pastie.org/5602602 (The script works on both the client and the server)

Thanks for the replies. It seems that updating to the latest version of minecraft and minecraft forge then using the IC2 beta worked perfectly.

Yes, MultiMC can't connect to the file server either.

Didn't work... but I didn't try fullscreen.

It goes back to the Minecraft home screen (Single Player, Multiplayer, Mods, Options, etc)

No, they do have the same version, though.

But it doesn't, I tried really hard to make it work...

What do you mean, I have a very old version? It's just one before the newest and I must have it to use Industrial Craft (as it does not work on the newest version)

For some reason it seems that I cannot play on an SMP server (of my own) with Minecraft Forge. I have Minecraft 1.4.5 with Minecraft Forge 6.4.2.448 (I have an older version of minecraft and forge because Industrial Craft doesn't support 1.4.6 yet). If it helps: I have Minecraft Forge and Industrial Craft on the Server. Here is the error: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1464781/ ...and a screenshot:
