    Hey forum members. Probably like most of you, all coming from hMod. well i am to. Using it at the moment on my server. With that all cleared up i wanted to ask how Bukkit will work.

    For hMod all i did was install the server files to my server. I then located the bin folder. Did that chmod +x server_nogui.sh command. Once i did that command all i have to do is ./server_nogui.sh.

    Will this mod be the same? Hopefully a mod or leader can answer this but will a tutorial be made for the users that don't know Linux that well.

    Here's the steps:

    1. Download Craft Bukkit
    2. Put the .jar in a folder
    3. Open TextEdit and paste this in:
    Code:
    #!/bin/bash
    cd "${0%/*}";
    java -Xms512M -Xmx1024M -jar craftbukkit-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar
    *NOTE: Change the .jar to the name of the current craftbukkit version. If not, it won't start.
    4. Open Terminal and type: "chmod a+x " (no quotes, but space after the "x") and drag and drop the file you made in step 3 into the terminal which should look like: chmod a+x /Users/YourUser/Desktop/server (depending on what you named the file, no need for the .txt at the end either, nor .sh or .command)
    5. Move that file into the same folder as the .jar
    6. Double-click the file from 3 and 4. Done!

    It'll show some errors, but they're harmless. Just stop it, quit Terminal and double-click the server again and no errors will show as well as all the needed files and folders being there! Much easier than hMod in my opinion, plus you don't even need the minecraft_server.jar because it already contains all the needed files to run it.

    EDIT: Download the pre-built folder with the server file and README.

    Thank you! I have recently converted to Ubuntu and this was quite useful.

    No problem, I wonder if they would actually sticky this and have someone running Windows post how to set it up the same way for newbies. Though I might want to change the .jar name so people don't try to just copy and paste it and wonder why it won't work.

    Edit: Actually, I wonder if I should just make a base folder with the server file in it so all someone would need to do is make sure it's executable, put the bukkit jar in the folder and double-click it...yeah, I'll do that and post the link in my post and add it to my sig.

    it is insanely easy for windows. download that same .jar then open notepad and insert the code at the end of my post (changing the [file name] to that of the .jar). save it as a .bat file. run that. sometimes it crashes after the first load since it's building the config files, but if it does just run the script again.

    Code:
    @echo off
    "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Java\jre6\bin\java.exe" -Xms1024M -Xmx1024M -jar [file name].jar
    pause

    Sweet! Thanks for the code, I'll put that in my pre-built folder so it'll work for any OS. I'll also add you in the README for the code as my thanks :)

    There, now my sig also has the link to download the pre-built folder with instructions in the README and everything but the .jar :D

    thank you very much for the mention, however all I did was copy that code from the Hey0 x64 nogui file

    which is funny since it is using the 32bit version of java (ie program files x86)

    it cant just call /program files/ on a 64 system because the java is 32bit and inside the (x86) folder

    not necessarily, as i have the 64bit jvm installed so on Win7 x64 i am using Program Files (and the server can access more than 2GB ram)
