Hi everyone! Ill be honest: I only started modding yesterdayafter viewing a few lessons by mDiyo and Methuselah96. I made a simple modloader mod to start, nothing special, just a few blocks, and then I decided I would make it forge compatible (because the tutorial said so ). So, I went and found your lovely wikipage explaining how to install the source for forge (I already had JDK, latest version according to java.com). I got a clean download of MCP and the forge 3.3.8.152 src, and this is what I did.
1) extracted MCP7.0a
2)placed a clean bin and resources folder in the "jars" subfolder of the extracted MCP folder.
3) placed a minecraft server .jar (clean) in the "jars" subfolder.
4) extracted the "forge" folder from the 3.3.8.152 folder into the extracted MCP folder.
5) launched the install.bat thingy from the forge folder, and this appeared in the command prompt window:
=================================== Minecraft Forge Setup Start ================
=================
ERROR:root:FATAL ERROR

Press any key to continue . . .
Now if I'm doing something wrong to cause this, please take it easy on me, its only my second day modding, and I'm not the best at following instructions. Also, if I've posted this in the wrong place, I only joined the forums today, so I'm still learning my way around. I did a forum search, but didn't find the same problem I have on any other results.
Any help given is much appreciated!
EDIT: Just saw something on a different post, is forge compatible with 1.3.1 yet? because that could be my problem
