I checked the values of the origfile, outputfile and patchfile variables but they point to files that do exist.
Any ideas?

I had the same problem; for me, it wasn't that the files it was trying to patch didn't exist, it was the program it uses to patch (bspatch) wasn't installed. So check if you have it installed. If you're using Ubuntu, Mint, Debian, or some other .deb-based Linux distribution, you can install the package bsdiff by typing this in a terminal:

sudo apt-get install bsdiff

If you're using another distribution, use your package manager to search for the name of the package to install. After that, it should patch fine. Hope that helps.

* The fastest way to check if you have bspatch installed is to open a terminal and type "bspatch" (without quotes), then press enter. If you get a complaint about it not being installed, it's not installed :smile.gif: if it is, you'll get a response like this: "bspatch: usage: bspatch oldfile newfile patchfile", which is just telling you how to use it.

Trend's ONLY response to the newest version was deleting it.

Any help for a poor soul? I've uninstalled/reinstalled multiple times to no avail :sad.gif: it just says it must not have been vanilla...HALP :ohmy.gif: thanks!

I love you. The only problem is that indev doesn't have rana, steve, etc. :smile.gif:

You're awesome. Thank you.

Does anyone know how to use this with an HGS game server?

I know how you can get a direct download URL.
You just need to create a freely hosted website (for example from co.cc), then you can use FTP to upload the files on that website, and use some coding to download it.
Hope this helps :smile.gif:

Of course, they are only in Survival Test, and plz help i dont have python, so i click on MCNostalgia2.0.1.exe but it gives this error:

---------------------------
MCNostalgia2.0.1.exe - System Error
---------------------------
The program can't start because python27.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------

Oh wait, i think i figured out, python27.dll is in the .zip folder of MCNostalgia i downloaded, now i want to know, where it goes :biggrin.gif:

Oh never mind, i just needes to extract the folders, well now i can see if Notch really added Herobrine in Beta 1.5 :smile.gif:

cart boosters!

That'ssssss a nice avatar you have there...

I can't get this working with MCPatcher. Anybody?

Do you think you could add 0.31 to the list? I would like to play that version again :smile.gif:
Besides, you got Indev to work, why not 0.31?

Hey, do you think you can modify the tool so that it can patch the files even when it's not in the newest form. I happen ti find it annoying to keep force updating so can you try? Please, I really love the tool

Sending minecraft jars are illegal. Use mcnostalgia to get from the current version to 1.8.1

No no no, you no understand, i need the SERVER jar, and you cant downgrade to get that. Not server.exe, server.jar. Its
not illegal, notch had it on minecraft.net when it was 1.8.1!

I seem to have an error. Every time I try to use the god damn thing, it comes up eith this message:

        print "An error has accord while running this program.  Please paste the above traceback into a code box in a spoiler box on a new post on the MCNostalgia thread.  Preferrably, however, is that you come onto IRC and ask about it and provide a link to the traceback."

I've reinstalled the game many a time, but still nothing helps. Any suggestions?

You seem to be opening it up as a text file. You need python to run this.

Is there a way to set our bin directory to something other than the default /AppData/.minecraft/bin?

This is great... If only it would work for me. My minecraft wont download .jars from Minecraft.net when doing force update, and when I try downgrading it says I have mods installed, even though I dont. So i am SOL

Minecraft has crashed!
