Need help with .bat files for Mac OSX

Hey, I am not very experience with this stuff. I need help to run a client (moparscape). Any help?

And if I need to provide you guys with any data so you can help me better, what? I pretty much need a step by step walkthrough. Hope you can help.

Let me guess... the script is to run some Java app. Right?

here is the link. maybe it will help.

EnduraScapeV1.rar

possibly you can figure it out, then tell me how you did it. Just dont use any other applications, like birtualbox or boxer or whatever.

I really need some help.

Yep, Java. My suggestion would be to read one of the many already existing threads that have been posted on the topic (for whatever reason).

I just dont understand how to find the information on how to do it. Like where in the textedit?

Line 4, column 36?

huh?

what do you mean by that?

Why does it always seem like it's a matter of life and death to get this answered immediately with all of these java .bat threads?

Just being about as helpful as anybody could given the lack of information you've provided. Why not share the instructions you already have, give us a good idea as to what you are doing, explain what was confusing in the other threads, ask us specific questions - something?? Nobody is going to guess at your problem with your cryptic description and take the time to guess at a step-by-step set of instructions like you requested that was not already posted to the 4+ other threads very similar to this one. Cryptic problems with cryptic goals and cryptic descriptions will get you cryptic answers, at best.

Ok, I saw the first thread charless provided me. That person had some data from the textedit which would help to run the .bat. How do I obtain that?

WIth the link I provided, just could you go through it and tell me how you did it, that would be easiest.

No, I'm not going to look for some text in another thread because you can't be bothered to post it here and provide a clear description of what you are trying to do. I would suggest putting in a little legwork and showing a little initiative before asking people to do things, as I frankly have absolutely no inspiration to help you at this point, especially given how cryptic this is.

I downloaded a client and I need to be able to run it. Unfortunately, I don't know what to do at all. How do I do it?

Is this some sort of spam ? :err:

What do the instructions for your game say to do? I'm not downloading and executing some file hosted on some random person's Mediafire account, sorry.

These Java apps look like they belong to some game. 4 threads and I had to Google that for myself because these thread creators seem unable to provide us with these basic details, truly bizarre.

I've kind of wondered that myself sometimes. Each time, the OP has a strikingly similar writing and posting style to the last time, it's always extremely cryptic, the author always refers to the problem as "running a .bat file" even though what he's really trying to do is run a Java app, and he's always extremely impatient. The other thing is that there have been a lot more than just those four threads - I didn't post every one that came up in the search.

Of course, if it's indeed a game, we could just be dealing with 12-year-old gamers, which could explain some of those features.

Must be past someone's bedtime. No more repeated begging for a solution.

your hilarious. its a game that I need to run on the mac. I dont know how.

I just dont understand how to do it at all. when I open it with text edit, I get all of these odd characters:

A very very small part of when I opened it in text edit.

D'oh! That is the game.

You're supposed to find the Easter eggs in that ASCII mess. Happy hunting! :thumbsup:

lol? what do u mean by that.

I just started building a space ship.

Can you guys help me with that. I really need to do that.

-t

dude. why cant someone help. I actually need some.

Truer words have never been spoken! If you are not going to answer the questions that have been asked, there is nothing we can do, sorry!

Its an online game that uses downloadable clients. I need to know how to run this downloadable client on my mac.

It has no instructions. On a pc, you simply just extract the info, then run it. But with the mac, I dont know what to do.

You could start by reading the advice given by the experts in here. They need more specifics which you are unwilling to provide (thus the space ship reference).

I think people would be more than willing to help you but only if you offer a complete and detailed description of what you need so they can exert their time and energy towards solving your problem (and not waste it).

What is the name and extension of the main executable? What was the name and extension of that file you opened in TextEdit and pasted here? How does this relate to a .bat file? Have you tried running the Java applet through your Terminal, as I'm sure was discussed in the other threads? Do you have any questions about the solutions offered in the other threads?

Need more info, still. Your problem would be solved much faster if you'd get busy writing and explaining so that we don't have to coax this information out of you.

Your face is a space ship.

I literally dont know at all what to do. SO thats why I am asking you...

http://forums.macnn.com/82/applicati...-files-mac-os/ same as this guy.

So, did you try the java command from the terminal like was mentioned in that thread?

I think the command is

java -Xmx512m -cp .:Theme.jar Gui

he had the cd title thing. IS that what I do?

He had

"cd" title

what is mine? the same?

This is like trying to teach my mom assembly programming... :hmm:

.bat scripts can not be run on Macs.

Java-programs can be in principle, but one might be limited to a single platform only.

Whether this Java-program runs on Mac, and if so how it is run, you should best ask the maker of that program.

ok, on http://forums.macnn.com/82/applicati...-files-mac-os/ he was told to type "cd" title than JAVA-xm5200 or whatever. Do I type title for mine?

The text you seem to be referring to is:

I fail to understand what about that is difficult to parse.

Check out ITT-Tech.

They can teach you about all those technological thingies and you can get a job in computers.

Macintosh:~ matt$ cd/Users/matt/Downloads/EnduraScapeV1-1.rar
-bash: cd/Users/matt/Downloads/EnduraScapeV1-1.rar: No such file or directory
Macintosh:~ matt$

Extract the files from the RAR archive using a program on the Mac that handles the RAR format (there are several to choose from, Google this), then cd into the *directory* of the app:

cd /Users/matt/Downloads/<foldername>

substitute the name of this folder for "<foldername>" and respect the space after the cd command. Then you can run the Java executable using the Java command given prior.

ok. So I extracted the file. I saved it to my desktop. How do I do it? And what is the directory of the app? Sorry, I dont know much at all.

Nevermind. I managed to figure it out. THank you all very much.

The answer is already in this thread.

How do you expect us to help you out if you don't bother to post what command you issued to get that error?
