Please, fix Sonic Ethers Unbelievable Shaders with MCPatcher.

Quote from RyGuy

I want to use MCPatcher JUST for installing mods, I want Optifine to handle Better Grass, HD Textures, etc.

How do I get it to WORK?

(Also, how can I "reset" MCPatcher)

use unpatch button - and your Minecraft clear. dont use HDtexrures, HD Font, Better Grass etc and you can use MCPacther just to install another mods

Quote from RyGuy

I had a mod, a long time ago, called Dynamic Lights. Its still on that list (but grayed out)

if you have any problems with it, you can redownload it from http://www.atomicstryker.net/dynamiclights.html

If you want to use Dynamic Lights as part of your MCPatcher-OptiFine setup, you should use the OptiFine version of Dynamic Lights in MCPatcher. If this option is missing, you'll need to download the NON-MCPatcher version of Dynamic Lights from here (you'll also need ModLoader to work with the OptiFine version).

Once you download Dynamic Lights, unzip it and then locate the 'compiled_put_this_into_minecraft_jar' folder. Using 7-Zip or Win Rar, zip the contents of 'compiled_put_this_into_minecraft_jar', NOT the folder itself. You should have a zip folder of the same name. Then you must copy the 'dynamiclights' settings file from the 'configfile_put_this_into_.minecraft_folder' folder and paste it in the root of .minecraft folder.

Ensuring you already have ModLoader installed using MCPatcher you can now install the 'compiled_put_this_into_minecraft_jar' zip folder the same way before patching with MCPatcher. Remember to test Minecraft with the 'Test' button after you have patched before exiting MCPatcher.

Mod order on list is reversed. Mods on top should overight ones on the bottom, not the other way around.

This is a little more about Optifine and Modloader than this, but it says Modloader and Optifine both have a vl.class. Which one should I use over the other?

I always use the OptiFine's vl.class over ModLoader as it works for me. I assume the same principle is utilized by Magic Launcher, which requires OptiFine to be installed after ModLoader.

When I click the patch button it installs two mods I didnt want Extra Biomes XL and Mo Creatures. Why does this happen and how do I stop it?

Nono, I want to REMOVE Dynamic Lights from that list. I can't select it (grayed out) so I can't use the -. Is there a file for the list of mods patched that I can edit or something?

So I should remove the vl.class on ModLoader?

allways use this order: modloader, modloaderMP, forge, optifine

In that case, delete the 'mcpatcher-mods' folder and the 'dynamiclights' settings file in the .minecraft folder.

You can also edit mcpatcher.xml in .minecraft folder

How to uninstall mcpatcher?

my water and lava is the same help (water is default)?

Quote from GreenLightning

You can also edit mcpatcher.xml in .minecraft folder

Do you have advice or a tutorial on editing the xml file? Otherwise, I think it's quite risky tinkering with it without knowing what to do.

Oh wow, didn't rly count on the first tip helping o.o
But from the start:
- I've redownloaded it, yes
- I use Win7 64bit and have both Java 32 and 64 bit Version installed, the 32 bit Version only for using 32bit Browser Version - bit lazy atm to switch it.
- I didn't forget the .jar flag since i didn't even show known flags until just now, so i didn't change anything on it - and yes it was and is tagged as .jar.

So... Yes it worked, i now get the console window from the batch data and can actually see the Mcpatcher =)
Thank you very much so far !

Cool, now that everything seems to work, we just need to change what Windows associates with .jar files.
Unfortunately in Windows Vista/Windows 7 this isn't possible, so we need a third party program to change the file extensions.
I use ExtMan. In this program select the .jar file extension and click on edit. You should see a window pop up which shows different actions. For jar files this should be "open" or "execute" or something similar. Select this and click on edit. Then use the file chooser or enter the path to your Java installation and use the program \bin\javaw.exe. If your path contains spaces put everything in " " and in the text field add "-jar" and "%1" including the quotes. You should end up with something similar to this:

"C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin\javaw.exe" "-jar" "%1"

Now click on save in both popups and close the main application. After that you should be able to execute your jar file directly again using a double click and you can delete the .bat script

The guy who asked wanted to remove a special mod from the list in mcpatcher...
Therefore you just find the <mods profile="Your profile"></mods> tags with the profile name you are currently using and delete the mod tag which includes the name of the mod you want to remove.
Should be easy if you know how xml works (tags and so on)
Otherwise if you break something, MCPatcher will probably just ignore it. But if it crashes you can simply delete it and it will recreate it on startup (all your settings will be deleted though).

Thanks, that was helpful!

I tried to search for problems similar to this one, but I couldn't find anything, so here goes:
When I try to run MC patcher, it goes through the bit where it says it's "Analyzing minecraft-1.2.5.jar", but when that finishes, the window stops letting me click anything in there. it registers when my mouse moves over an option, but it doesn't register any clicking I do. I use Windows XP, if that matters.
Thank you in advance for any help you may offer

edit: never mind, I believe that this is a problem with my computer, because minecraft_server.exe does the same thing

I LOVE the better skies mod THX!!!

why does it say i have any outdated verson or mods when i dont?

my virus protection thingy says that there's a virus on the patcher and it erased it...does it have a virus?
