when i download craftbukkit and open it nothing happens? Help!!

See when i download craftbukkit and run it nothing happens what so ever please help me?

 

If you are double clicking on the file, something is happening, its starting the server but you can't see it. You need a Start.bat file to open your server so you can see it. I don't have one on me right now, I can post it when I get time later or someone else may come and post theirs.

 

You need a start.bat
Here is what you do.
1. Rename the craftbukkit file to just craftbukkit.jar
2. Open a text document.
3. Paste in the following
Echo off
java -Djline.terminal=jline.UnsupportedTerminal -Xms1024M -jar "%~dp0craftbukkit.jar"
pause
4. Save the file as a .bat in the folder where you server is.
5. Double click and run the file.

 

Never seen that in my life..

 

Adriani6 are you hating on me? Because I guarantee that is the best batch code to run a server with.

 

Lol no, I'm saying I never seen that one before haha. Why are people so.. fussy now a days.

 

What is this -Djline.terminal=jline.UnsupportedTerminal doing? And is this for linux as well? Or only for windows?

 

That is a part of a batch file. You can find a guide to setting up bukkit for the 3 main os's here.

 

I know but I have never seen that part
@Echo off
java -server -Xms1G -jar craftbukkit.jar -o true
pause

Would be enough, right?

 

runefist That is a good enough bat. My bat is:

Code:

@ECHO OFF
SET BINDIR=%~dp0
CD /D "%BINDIR%"
:start
cls
[USER=90771833]Echo[/USER] Starting:
"%ProgramFiles%\Java\jre7\bin\java.exe" -Xincgc -Xms2G -Xmx4G -jar craftbukkit-1.7.2-R0.1.jar
[USER=90771833]Echo[/USER].
[USER=90771833]Echo[/USER] Restarting server...
[USER=90771833]Echo[/USER].
goto start

Edit: Mr.Echo is always there to get in the way of bat files...

Also, looks like this is getting a bit off topic(from helping someone start their server to "Post your bat file!"). Lets wait for the OP to say if this is what he needed or not.
