What's going on with this?

[crude mango]

I was trying to update my forge to the newest version, but this happened. I'm just trying to figure out what's going on so I can fix it. Thanks!

[crude mango]

There's a new problem alongside this. I tried downloading the newest forge update, when these things occured. Does anyone know what's going on and how to fix it? Thanks!

[crude mango]

I actually think the problem is caused by a change in the update types here. I'd like some help getting it set up if anyone's available. Thanks!

@narrow meteor Hey Friar, I'd like some help figuring out what to do to download the newest forge update since I think you changed some of the forge download ways.

[narrow meteor]

Nope wasn't me.

[crude mango]

@narrow meteor Ok, but I usually use forge.sh to update forge on my macbook, and I'm not seeing it now.

either try this https://iboysoft.com/howto/cannot-be-opened-because-the-developer-cannot-be-verified.html or open the jar with 7zip or any extractor, extract the pack , rename and extract some packed files from the jar. the jar is now install wizard see here: https://github.com/Card-Forge/forge/wiki/User-Guide#install-wizard-jar

[crude mango]

@sacred leaf I may need some guidance through this. Can I chat with you via a friend request call? I'm just so used to forge.sh that I'll need a list of steps to get it done.

[crude mango]

@sacred leaf Never mind, my sister's husband took care of it.

Does it mean that https://github.com/Card-Forge/forge/wiki/User-Guide#manual-extraction-tarbz2 is gone? No tarballs anymore?

[sacred leaf]

Try downloading release version

[potent lagoon]

Releases are updated less frequently than daily snapshots, right?

I will try.

[potent lagoon]

Release version works fine. I also have older snapshot not removed from my hard disk yet, file called forge-gui-desktop-1.6.58-SNAPSHOT-09.20.tar.bz2 and this also works fine.

I would like to know whether .tar.bz2 snapshots have been removed forever or is this a temporary issue - should I wait few hours and then refresh dailysnapshots?

https://downloads.cardforge.org/dailysnapshots/forge-desktop-1.6.59-SNAPSHOT-10.11-installer.jar does not work. @crude mango if you managed to fix this, please share the solution 😄 in my case, I get:

@potent lagoon Sorry, I'm not very knowledgeable in forge coding, so you might want to ask the others. My sister's husband helped guide me through the new installation process.

[potent lagoon]

By trial and error I managed to fix this.

The correct command is **java -jar forge-desktop-1.6.59-SNAPSHOT-10.11-installer.jar **

Double clicking was not working, even after I executed chmod +x on the .jar file.

[sacred leaf]

Weird, could be how your java path file was setup, works here and I check the manifest.mf the correct main class is specified.. what's your OS

[potent lagoon]

Manjaro but I don't remember how I installed java...

pacman -F $(which java)
usr/bin/java is owned by extra/java-runtime-common 3-5

Since other users don't complain, maybe something is wrong with my setup. The most important to me is that forge works again.
