[Modding] FTL UnPacker 1.0.1 - .dat un- and repacker GUI

[Ellenhard]

Hi, any idea why I can't run your program although I've Java installed and up to date (checked in on a Java website)? Just gives me an error. Should I put FTL_Unpacker.jar in some specific folder?

There are many .exe java files, maybe I should associate it not with java.exe. but with javaw.exe? I tried it, doesn't work anyway.

That's not good at all! I thought I'd tested it pretty thoroughly, apparently I missed something.
What's the exact error? Also, what OS are you on?
And FTL UnPacker was made to run from any folder, you can just point it to wherever your .dat files are.

Also, a random thought I had earlier, after the previous bugreport: If you're on Windows, maybe you could try running the .jar as Administrator. Perhaps Windows doesn't give FTL UnPacker enough privileges to run or something.

I've been getting an error when trying to run the program too:

"Could not find the main class: ftl.unpacker.FTLEditor. Program will not exit."

I'm running Windows 7 and have indeed tried running it as Admin (well, with UAC turned off, same thing). I dunno if it's the same error Ellenhard was getting but it's an error nonetheless.

I have the same problem as Disc10: "Could not find the main class: ftl.unpacker.FTLEditor. Program will now exit."
I got Java installed. Windows 7, 64 Bit.

please help, thanks

Thanks for this app. It is very useful.

Technically when I run it on Windows 7 not working.
On VirtualBox, Windows XP is working fine.

All right, I think I found the problem. I compiled version 1.0.1 against Java 6 instead of 7, please report if that does work.
I also updated the first post with this new version.

Do you get the same error as Disc10 and Splette in Windows 7? Could you try the new version, 1.0.1, and see if that does work in both versions of Windows? Thanks.

Yup, works for me! Quick work fixing that, you have my thanks.

Works fine for me now on XP and W7 too.
Thanks!

That's a relief, thanks for reporting back!

Apparently the problem was caused by you using Java 6, while I built and compiled FTL UnPacker on Java 7. The 1.0.1 update makes it backwards-compatible with Java 6, but I would still suggest upgrading to Java 7, since it's supposed to be both faster and safer. It won't matter at all with this little program, but in general it might be a good idea.
