hi
want me to show you my files n shit
what version are you looking for?
1.17
what OS?
k, open windows powershell
do you know how to use cd ?
yes i was doing that in git bash
ok, cd to the directory that the BuildTools.jar is in
watch this
this is the shitty error i always get
its actually a bit different
point is it never works lol
ah yes this is the error
this is the same shitty installation that always happens
every
single
time
can you do java --version
yea
i dont know if its because im on a mac but thats a bit different from what i have
java 17 2021-09-14 LTS
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 17+35-LTS-2724)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 17+35-LTS-2724, mixed mode, sharing)
its the most recent one on azul
this jdk seems valid
yea i think you should reinstall java, or download a JRE instead
its not a java issue because i had this same error on a 1.16.5 installation
i need to see the stack trace and the class of the exception
select the text and paste it in discord
its fine i can read it

there u go anyways
git is unable to write to your gitconfig file
can you try deleting the .gitconfig file in your home directory
how do i get there
so C:\Users\james
right
alright looks like you guys got this sorted cya C:
thanks for the help
does it work after deleting your git config
just go to that directory
just my user?
oh lol i thought you were gonna say something else ok
ok im there
there isnt a git config
do you see a file named .gitconfig
do you have hidden files on
no
well get on that
i would show you where to click but im on windows 11
so it wont translate
do you have git installed on your computer
eys
yes
ive installed it many times
actually
now that i mention it
imma reinstall it
ping me if you are still having trouble
because this little rat buildtools has reinstalled the portable like 10 times
idk if that relates
it doesnt install anything
oh
its portable
it just downloads it and runs the binary
then yeah im good
yeah so you have git for windows
yes
go into git bash
there
git config --global user.name kovante
git config --global user.email >your email here<```
just do that
see if it fixes the configuration issue
2 dfifferent commands?
yeah two lines
yeah im lookin
y or n
your folder permissions are fucked but lets just ignore that for now
this is far from perfect but can you create a text file in your folder and rename it .gitignore
yeah
did you open it in notepad
yes
or did windows decide it was time to compress
well no
yeah close it
yeah for now
you have ntfs compression on no? it randomly takes hold of files to compress them i hate it so much
the ↘️↖️ on every file
yes
right click your c drive and go to properties
i was wondering what that was
we need to disable that thats windows' shitty compression
saves 1gb of space and makes your life a living hell :teef:
uh oh
it must be a superdirectory of your home folder
right click the users folder and go into properties
btw fyi ive been breached before and all my emails and shit was stolen and it was a very uncool process
thats why i think security is fucked
this isnt a security issue
compress will be in here
what'd happen someone lift your gpg key or smth
that is the user folder
oh that
yeah look its only on that one
THERES THE MOLE
now the question
will my pc explode
because as u saw
my storage is quite miniscule
@royal vapor
no it wont
windows compression is a piece of shit like i said
it saves <1gb and causes pain
disable that, wait for windows to apply to all the subdirectories and files
yeah hit ok
fuckin hell
close file explorer?
gotta love windows
i hate everything right now
like wtf is all this shit i just want to start a server with my friends with plugins
im like this close to just doing vanilla
what are you trying to do in the first place
are you trying to compile the server or are you trying to build a plugin against the server jar
compile
¯_(ツ)_/¯
i subrouted this before actually
i just used spigotclip
i mean if you dont wanna put up with compiling just use paper
spigotclip is... something lets say
(unsupported piece of trash)
oh
ok
well it actually worked for a second until it shit itself when i put a datapack in
😢
anyway good luck
im prob going vanilla
