Crossfire Forum

Well its been awhile since I've played Crossfire and it has REALLY changed alot but im having some troubles with the JavaEditor I have
had it before but that may have been a different version I don't know but here is my problem... Before when I downloaded the editor it was a .tar file and it still is but before it was an executable and now it acts like an archived file (AKA .ZIP) so what should I do with it to make it an .exe?

Help is welcome,

I assume you are using Windows, since you mention zip files.

You need to have JRE installed.
Open a command prompt ('cmd'), type: java -jar <path to archive>

Should open the editor.

You can also try right-clicking on the file, and choosing 'open with...', but I don't know how you can specify the -jar parameter.

Hope this helps.

JRE as in Java Runtime Environment?!? Also tried going to command prompt and it didn't work typed exactly what you said and it gave me all this...

C:\>java -jar C:\CFJavaEditor
Exception in thread "main" java.util.zip.ZipException: The system cannot find th
e file specified

at java.util.zip.ZipFile.<init>(Unknown Source)
at java.util.jar.JarFile.<init>(Unknown Source)
at java.util.jar.JarFile.<init>(Unknown Source)

C:\>

any idea what it means?

Help is appreciated,

Also on a minor note the game as no sound at all no music either and I remember sound and music.

Yes, JRE as Java Runtime Environment.

You forgot the '.jar' in the file name. You must give the full & complete path, including the .jar extension.
Or some libraries may be missing, which I doubt if you installed JRE from official distribution.

As for client, no, Windows version 1.6.0 has no sound, and yes 1.5.0 had sound.

Thanks Ryo I got it working.
