srgpepper42 Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Hi, I'm trying to install forge onto my game but I keep encountering this problem. I've Googled furiously, but I can only come up with other people experiencing the issue, with no solutions in sight. So I need your help. I have followed the installation instructions closely, have downloaded a fresh forge .zip and forced my Minecraft to update many times, and before you ask yes I'm deleting META-INF. I'm running Mac OSx 10.5.8, my game is the current 1.3.2 version, I'm using Unarchiver to open my minecraft.jar, and I've downloaded and tried the latest 3 versions of forge, all have the same issue. And I'm only trying to get Forge to run right now, I have absolutely nothing else besides Forge and Minecraft at the moment. What can I do to make this work? I appreciate any help I can get.

luacs1998 Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Could be a CodecIBXM crash, it's the number 1 thing we troubleshoot here. MERGE, not replace. Quote Read the EAQ before posting!

glau Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 srgpepper42. I don't see your error but, For mac; when you put forge in minecraft.jar, you shouldn't replace paulscode. You open it (paulscode in forge) , copy the files in there into the "paulscode in minecraf.jar" not directly to "minecraft.jar" initial_ZEN. -Force update (all mods in minecraft.jar will be deleted) -Install latest forge. Do the mac things right. Delete meta-inf as always... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

initial_ZEN Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Thanks for the responses. I decided to download parallels and install windows xp and run minecraft off that. It works on that with the updated java.. I just have to figure out how to get the sound to work on parallels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
