How to setup java (to run Mod selector/other stuff)
How to setup java (to run Mod selector/other stuff)
Since i saw many people having trouble with java stuff here, here is a tutorial (for Windows)
Linux users don't have use of this, they are linux users after all.
1) You may want to uninstall all previous versions of java on you computer. This should be possible using the same method you uninstall others programs..THIS IS NOT MANDATORY... But we should all remove the old java 6 on our computers..
2) Go to Java SE Downloads and select Java JRE
3) Check the agreement box and select the Java7 for your OS.
* Important note : Even if you have a 64 bits OS, you should install the 32 bits (aka x86) version too. Why? Because your browser may be a 32 bits browser => it can only handle the 32 bits java plugin (which allow you to use java IN YOUR BROWSER and is NOT RELATED TO OUR PROBLEMS).
4) Now, install it. For conveniance, lets say i install it in C:\java7.
5) When the install is finished, you must try something. Go on your desktop, hit the Windows+R keys on your keyboard.
This should bring the "Run" prompt.
Type in "cmd" without quotes, press Enter..
6) A command prompt windows has just opened. (aka the ugly black box).Type in "java" without quotes, press Enter..
>if you see any strange text involving "syntax" or "class", your java is ready for Odom or the Mod selector.
>if you see that he cannot find java, it means that we need to UPDATE THE PATH VARIABLE
What is this? The PATH is a system value. This is a folder list where Windows search for a program (an exe file) when he doesnt find it in the current folder...
Let me explain..
Your OryxDomination proxy is in "C:\Oryxdom". If you launch the "LaunchOryxDom.bat", the current folder will be "C:\Oryxdom".
The bat call a "java" program. Since there is no "java.exe" in the oryxdom folder, you will get a "java not found" error.
Remember? We setup Java into "C:\java7". In this folder or one of his subfolders you should find a "java.exe".
In this example, the good folder with java.exe is C:\Java7\jdk\bin.. You have two solutions :
* You modify the cmd/bat file and replace "java" by <javaPath>\java (Where <javapath> is where you found the java.exe).. This is the easiest way but must be done in each bat/cmd you use. And it will work only on computers where java is installed in the same folder.
*or you can ADD (DONT REMOVE THE OTHERS) the good java path (here "C:\Java7\jdk\bin\java") to the System Environement variable named "PATH" .. Please see this page. http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000549.htm
@Nachos / @Janitor : Maybe this should be sticky?

@Nachos / @Janitor : Maybe this should be sticky?
It can stay here as a normal tutorial or I can stick it in the help section. We only stick very important threads that everyone should read.
If You can sort out every thing in this thread such as Errors and how to solve etc.. it may worth a sticky.
Goodjob

Does oryxdom work with 3.3? I know it was working back a few builds ago but I havn't been able to get it to work on this build.
Well, i can't think of any other error that can be related to java setup. 
The "java not found" is setup-related , thats why i talk about it.
The other errors are more tools-related..
Anyway, thanks for answering

Good tutorial, but I doubt this topic will get anywhere, it seems that with the current generation of pre-teens and teens (kids), they (almost all of them) seem to be all into "video tutorials" rather than reading and googling for answers. . .
It's pretty sad...

This is worth to be in sticky list
Sorry I am confused (Such a noob i am xD) how do we get to the oryxdom I am a bit confused at the part. (Wow I am such a n00b)
wattafak was dat
did you really bumped a 2 year old thread? ODom has been dead for months, if not a year. @Lovroman technically this thread also went in the tomb with ODom right?
