obsidionclam Posted February 21, 2020 Report Share Posted February 21, 2020 So the program downloaded fine I tried Jarfix and my java is up to date. The launcher gets up to "loading plugins" and just sits there. What do I do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted February 21, 2020 Report Share Posted February 21, 2020 Most likely: run it from a directory that you have full access to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Posted February 21, 2020 Report Share Posted February 21, 2020 Windows UAC will prevent applications from writing to certain protected directories. Try unzipping the download into your Documents directory. Gnome BODY (important!) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kintatsu Posted July 31, 2020 Report Share Posted July 31, 2020 I'm having a similar issue; I have Java Runtime Environment, ran Jarfix, and extracted the folder into a directory to which I have full access, but HD6.jar won't start. My only lead as to the cause is a "Header Error" message from 7Zip during extraction. How do I fix this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted July 31, 2020 Report Share Posted July 31, 2020 What is the full path to the directory that you unpacked the download? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Posted July 31, 2020 Report Share Posted July 31, 2020 OK...first off, let's stick with the Documents directory for the time being. Dropbox shouldn't be an issue, but let's work with one variable at a time. I was assuming given the thread you posted in that you're getting the splash screen when you double click on HD6.jar (indicating the HD is loading)...and that it's getting stuck right around the "Loading Plugins..." point. If that is the case, do you show a file "trace.log" in the directory that you're running from after the problem occurs? If so, please post the contents of that file in a follow-up. If you are _not_ getting the splash screen then you're not having the same issue noted in this thread and I'll need more details. What is happening when you double-click HD6.jar (details needed)? What happens if you open a command prompt, cd to the directory that you unpacked HD into, and enter the following: java -jar HD6.jar Post the output of that command in a follow-up.

HeroGM Posted July 31, 2020 Report Share Posted July 31, 2020 If the error is coming from the zip file have you tried re-downloading HD? It looks (from the graphic) you may have a bad zip header in the file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted July 31, 2020 Report Share Posted July 31, 2020 If they are getting the files out (i.e. able to double-click on HD6.jar), then the warning they're showing can be disregarded. If they're not getting the files out (the error is halting the operation), then they're _really_ in the wrong thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted July 31, 2020 Report Share Posted July 31, 2020 Getting a little ahead here while we wait for a response, but if you’re getting the splash screen when you double click on HD6.jar and it’s freezing up (not getting into the main app after a few seconds) while running from your Documents folder, the main thing that I can see is the ampersand in your directory name. It shouldn’t be an issue, but it’s possible that it’s causing problems when Java interacts with the native file system. If all of the above assumptions are true (and there’s a lot of them), try renaming the directory to something simple — just HD6 or HeroDesigner or something similar without special characters.

And changing the directory name fixed it! Thank you so much!!! Edited July 31, 2020 by Kintatsu Simon and Tom Cowan 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
