ok. ive been lurking here for several weeks, and finally made an account. before this gets flamed, and inb4 lrn2goolge, and all that, let me say, i know, for a fact, i installed, every mod i ever installed, correctly. followed every guide i could find, EXACTLY.
modloader, and settings api, all install without black screen issue. i have almost 2 years experience editing jar files for android OS hacking.
as soon as i try to install any actual game changing mod, the game does not load.
i really want miner helmet light, more then anything, but nothing works. i know the mods i am installing are updated for the newest version.
i open /bin/minecraft.jar
delete meta-inf
install the hd texture fix.
minecraft works.
install the simplemap/betterlights mod with installer.
minecraft works.
i install modloader and api setting mod.
no crashes or freezes.
at this point i will attempt to place any other mod, and they all black screen.
i have tried simply putting modloader, and a single mod.
black screen.
nothing i have read, or tried, or figured out my own, will work.
so. what do i do?
im not a lettuce head, and very good with computers and trouble shooting. following directions is easy. as you can see, i even tried only installing ONE mod, i did it correctly, and it dont work.
Troll says: YOUR STUPID RETARD WHO DUNNO STUFFYZ!! **** YOU **** UR MOM FUUUUUCK (A Completely inappropriate comment, that gives low feedback about the current topic)
I say: Is the current mod compatible with your version of minecraft? if its not it probably wont work.. Thats all my advice... other than that i'm clueless... I also don't remember seeing that mod in the One Stop Mod Shop thing...
(Replies appropriately and gives good feedback about the current topic)
NOTICE THE DIFFERENCES PEOPLE! TROLLS ARE OUT THERE! (You probably knew that already but o well)
(Sorry for the excessive cussing and highly exaggerated affect of a troll in it's comment :tongue.gif:)
Yea and i also think constructive criticism is good AS LONG as it provides good feedback, not just saying how stupid the person is... I think they call that flaming, am i right?
I DO THIS TO SPREAD THE WORD! A LOT OF PEOPLE SAY THEY ARE USING "CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM" AS AN EXCUSE ON CALLING PEOPLE STUPID!

all world gfx mods work, except the top of my furnace is always discolored, or missing completely.
mrmessiahs better lights and, simple map work ok.
i can install modloader,and the games still runs, and settings api, and the game still runs.
the following dont work.
teleport signs
carbonator
more stackables
sign tags
these are the ones i really wanted to use. i even tried alot of older versions to see if by chance they would work (like miner hat light, and tele compass, and writable books)
@donkeykong, i dont know what that is. i only know how to add and replace files, and i used a java command line program for android OS a couple times, but thats all.
You should explain how you fixed it and what was wrong so we can all update our mental list of pitfalls.
well. i dont know if it makes a difference, or if i am simply encountering bugs in the new update, or what.
i did the following, in this order.
delete meta-inf.
modloader
graphics hd patch
simple map. better lights, etc installer.
miner hat light
teleport signs
carbonator
more stackables
i also noticed that the load time for the game increased to almost 5 seconds on occasions, leading one who is impatient to believe it is bricked.
I see you removed 'sign tags' in that list. The install order of sign tags and teleport signs MATTERS as is stated in instructions. So that was probably your problem.

no. as a matter of fact, if you had taken the time to read my posts, and comprehend them (something we all learned in school when we were 5) you would see that i tried installing individual mods as well, singularly, and if they did not work stand alone, i reset the jar and tried another one. i tried sign tags, only to see if it worked. so before implying i didnt follow instructions, lrn2read.
also, none of those lists were all inclusive, or indicated the order of installation, sign tags is included in teleport signs, so it was included in the list. and only the last list was in order of install.

David, there are a few things that could do this:
Mods not in sync with minecraft version
Mods conflicting in a subtle way
Mods compiled for Java 1.6 and you only have Java 1.5
java is most current.
i tried installing ONLY one mod, as i mentioned in my post. and even then, none work. i try one. reset the jar file, try another, and do it again.
all mods are fixed for 1.2.01 beta update, most current version of everything. :sad.gif:
For example:
jar uf minecraft.jar ax.class
