so im trying to run a minecraft server v1.3.2 and have it include forge so i can run the ars magicka mod

 

i have followed all the steps at least a dozen times over and im getting the the "java exception has occurred"

 

i download a new minecraft_server.jar

i download Forge minecraftforge-universal-4.2.5.317

i start server to create server files for folder then shutdown server

open minecraft_server.jar with win rar and move all files from minecraft forge file into minecraft server file.

Use this http://adf.ly/673885/http://files.minecraftforge.net/minecraftforge-universal-4.3.5.318.zip and follow this http://www.minecraftforge.net/wiki/Installation/Universal

okay so downloaded the file u linked which is 318 and followed the

Install Forge

 

Open your minecraft(_server).jar, open the universal zip, and drop the contents of the zip into minecraft.jar. Make sure you delete the META-INF folder in the minecraft.jar (DO NOT DO THIS ON SERVER) or your game will freeze at the "done loading" screen.*

 

from the website you included

and i still got the "java exception occurred" pop up

 

this is the error im getting in cmd prompt if i open using .bat

Press any key to continue . . .

 

also i tried the "vanilla server instructions"

 

Vanilla Server

 

Thanks to the work of cpw, now Forge can be installed without modifying the server jar! THIS ONLY WORKS FOR BUILD 315 AND ABOVE!!!

Place the universal zip into the same folder where your minecraft_server.jar is, then change the extension of the forge zip to a .jar. Run it.

 

which i assume the 315+ is referring to the last 3 #s of the zip file i was usng "318"

i might be making a mistake as to i am a noob but that came up with the same "java exception occurred"

 

please help lol =[

 

thanks
