I read the FAQ and searched the site for information.  I didn't find any articles so I'm posting this request for help

 

 

re: http://files.minecraftforge.net/fmllibs/

 

There are two files that are named in a way that fouls up FTB loading certain mod packs.

 

scala-library.jar.stash

bcprov-jdk15on-148.jar.stash

 

It's causing a major headache because the Launcher for FTB expects to find the files

 

scala-library.jar

bcprov-jdk15on-148.jar

 

not

 

scala-library.jar.stash

bcprov-jdk15on-148.jar.stash

 

 

If you know the dude who can simply copy them

 

cp bcprov-jdk15on-148.jar.stash bcprov-jdk15on-148.jar

cp scala-library.jar.stash scala-library.jar

 

The users who depend on the '.stash' extension still can be happy.

The users who depend on the '.jar' name extension will be happy if someone does this.

 

Thanks.

 

 

Mea culpa.

 

I realize that the issue is not new.  But...

 

But I do ask that the admin of the file server files.minecraftforge.net  please (I really am asking as nicely as I can) alter the filenames so that the Forge can get these files:

 

./instMods/cpw/mods/fml/relauncher/CoreFMLLibraries.class

In which the path to the libs used are hard coded (*sigh*)

The filename CoreFMLLibraries.class

Contains this ($ od -c CoreFMLLibraries.class) [ Octal dump ]

[snip..]

0001040 m - a l l - 4 . 1 . j a r 001 \0 026

0001060 b c p r o v - j d k 1 5 o n - 1

0001100 4 8 . j a r \a \0 D \f \0 E \0 % 001 \0

0001120 021 s c a l a - l i b r a r y . j

0001140 a r 001 \0

[..snip]

 

Those who use this Forge, are hoerked because the code tries to download jars that don't exist (as named).

 

symlink or cp the .stash (I won't ask) to .jar, thanks.

 

 

 

 

As I've mentioned in PM, it's the modpack's responsibility to ensure they have EVERYTHING needed for loading minecraft, even the libraries. That's our official stance, the change was done on purpose, and we are not going to revert it.
