I am trying to set up a server for some friends and myself to play on, I run OSX1.7.4 and have had no issues with normal Forge setup for SSP 1.3.2, and no issues with normal 1.3.2 server setup.

 

Where I run into problems when I attempt to add Forge to my server.jar it responds with

  Quote
Invalid or corrupt jarfile minecraft_server.jar
in Terminal. I can't find anyone else with similar issues or a help thread for similar issues.

 

Can anyone help?

 

Thanks.

The problem is with how you install forge. How do you do it?

 

I've tried two ways, the first being changing it from a .jar to a .zip. Then decompressing it with archive utility, adding the forge files, recompiling it back and changing back to a .jar. Which when I was doing it didn't seem silly but as I type this sounds very silly.

 

The other way I tried was to rename the server jar to minecraft.jar and use Minecraft Jar tool to decompress add the files recompress and then rename back to server.jar (I use Minecraft Jar Tool to modify the SSP .jar with no problems so i figured this could work).

 

Is there some alternative program to Minecraft Jar Tool I should use?

Assuming your minecraft_server.jar is in /Users/yourusername/server/minecraft_server.jar, and forge is in /Users/yourusername/Downloads/minecraftforge.zip do this:

Open terminal

cd /Users/yourusername/server
mkdir mctmp
cp minecraft_server.jar mctmp
cd mctmp
unzip minecraft_server.jar
cp /Users/yourusername/Downloads/minecraftforge.zip .
unzip minecraftforge.zip
(if it asks you to overwrite files, say 'yes to all')
rm minecraftforge.zip minecraft_server.jar
zip -r ../minecraft_server.jar .
cd ..

And then run the server as you would normally. I don't actually use a Mac (I use Linux), but that should work. The only bit I'm unsure about is the unzip bits.

 

Protip: try and find answers yourself before asking on the forum.

It's pretty likely that there is an answer.

Tired of waiting for mods to port to bukkit?

use BukkitForge! (now with a working version of WorldEdit!)

I tried this just a few minutes ago, and it went smoothly until it came time to repackage the Forgified MC_server.jar. I can't seem to compress the mctmp back into the MC_server.jar.

 

 

I tried a few times now with some mixed results, once or twice it would return with the "Invalid or Corrupt" line from before. However it did come back with

so I guess that is a small step forward, right?

Hmm I have never gotten this before until today when I tried to set up a #303 server. I used the same method I have always used and now it's giving me a problem. The same problem is happening with a #251 server as well. I'm going to look into this a bit more.

Lol yeah ;)

 

this time it looks like your FML is corrupted somehow - it's not getting any version numbers, so it's looking for minecraft version 'missing', but finds version '1.3.2', and then blows up. So try redownloading forge? Try using the latest recommended, and the latest latest...

So I asked my buddies to prepare the .jar on their side for me to use on the OSX side, and there were no issues using that.

The issue is that the stock archiving utility on Mac OS X 10.7.4 (and later or below) are only capable of handling .zip(as to my knowledge as a mac user) so you would have to go onto the App Store and download The Unarchiver, it is free and best of all supports unarchiving .jar files.

a jar file __IS__ a zip file.

Unfortunately MacOS doesn't think so.
