trouble installing latest version on linux

[redeyedmonstar]

anyone else having this problem or is it something I'm doing me?
Game will run after i install modloader and forge, but when i put the BTW files into the minecraft.jar it blackscreens.
So far tried it with forge 1.0.1 and 1.0.3, and with both sun java and openjdk

modloader.txt dump here from forge 1.0.3 and sun java (which is what i would typically use)

are you putting BTW inside the jar file?

Yep

[walker_boh_65]

are you putting BTW inside the jar file?

Yep

You have to open the MINECRAFT-JAR folder inside the BTW jar. And put all of those into the minecraft.jar (the read-me explains it better)

maybe i didnt explain myself properly in the first post, but that is indeed what im doing, assuming you ment the BTW .zip rather than .jar... there isnt a btw jar that i have seen.

that is what i meant, i guess i interpreted your problem incorrectly, and i believe forge is now in 1.04 you could try that

this indeed fixed it. I had in fact downloaded 1.0.4 yesterday when i was downloading this new release of BTW, then not actually extracted it and used it *facepalm*
Thank you very much for the quick replies.
