How do I get H&H running.

Post by Vihart »

Hi, I havent played in a while and ive forgotten how to get the game to start.

When I click play, the loading bar in Java doesnt reach the end and it doesnt fully load. How can I fix this?

Okay, so I updated Java, and downloaded Endor. But im not sure what to do next...

Ive uploaded all the files into the folder, but I cant seem to find the folder* to start Endor/H&H.

Is it the file named, "Haven"?

Edit - I meant file*

Use run.bat to start the client.
Ender has instructions on how to edit it in his thread.

Okay so I added this to run.bat file:

Code: Select all

"C:\Windows\System32\javaw\java.exe" -Xms256m -Xmx512m -jar haven.jar moltke.seatribe.se
But it still doesnt work, when I click the file, a command prompt box pops up and instantly closes...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Edit:
Later I added start /d command....

Code: Select all

[color=#FF0000]start /d[/color] "C:\Windows\System32\javaw\java.exe" -Xms256m -Xmx512m -jar haven.jar moltke.seatribe.se
....and I got this message in a pop up box...
"Windows cannot find Xms256m. Make sure you have typed the nae correctly and try again.

In the command box it basically says that "C:\Windows\System32\javaw\java.exe" is not* recognized as an internal or external command.

Edit*

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

okay so I got rid of the silly "javaw" folder so its more direct.

Code: Select all

"C:\Windows\System32\java.exe" -Xms256m -Xmx512m -jar haven.jar moltke.seatribe.se

pause
...and I got this message, "unable to access jarfile haven.jar"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Edit:

So then I moved the run.bat file into the H&H folder and then I get this message,
"error, invalid or corrupt jarfile haven.jar"

Looked at the link, used every string of code on the page and tested it with my run.bat file. I also followed the link there and downloaded "mvguliks compilation of know res files" just to make sure but couldnt figure it out.

So im left with the problem, "error - invalid or corrupt jarfile haven.jar"

Even though the jarfile haven.jar exists in the same folder, so what does it mean?
