btw, how do i add the armor, weapons etc files to the server files, by using the eclispe prog, not the convertdata thing

 

[SheikAbdul]

why do you want to add armor , all the armors ingame are automatically converted from the client when you run convertdata.bat

 

[Kane Hart]

Just a note I hope you asked permission when hot linking images as bandwidth = money.

thats not what i meant, im using Eclipse, and i wanna know how do i add them using Eclipse, i know i can use convertdata.bat, but... u know, whats Eclipse for when it doesn't add the armor files etc into the server files

Thanks monsterbaster for this guide, but as Eragon said there is already a nice tutorial one the net with screenshot and stuff so i added the url to your post.

Don't feel that your guide is useless, it'll be a complement to the other, and you can maybe create a "video guide" like it seems to become popular here

Perhaps JAVA_HOME does not point to the JDK

If u know what is the problem , what is wrong, plsssss tellll meeeee

 

[T.xic]

lol u didn't add jdk to your eclipse, OR it isn't working, anyway java jdk is not configured so it has no files to compile with.

Perhaps JAVA_HOME does not point to the JDK

search, i know you'll find a guide how to solve this or just install java lol
