[1.6.4]Forge Src Install Won't Download 1.6.4 Server

[SkyeRangerDelta]

Hi!

I am trying to install the Forge src correctly and when I run the "install.cmd" it does all that stuff like the 42 library download and then gives me an error about not being able to download the "minecraft_server.1.6.4.jar" when backing up the server. I have checked the download links in the fml folder in "install.py" and they are all current (as far as I can tell). I have heard that you can try to manually put the server jar into the correct directory but people say that doesn't work either. How do I get the installer command window to download the correct server thing with no error?

 

Help will be appreciated!

 

Here is the full error text:

"Download of minecraft_server.1.6.4.jar failed hash check, deleting abcf286a14f7aee82e8bf89270433509 ba3145656b1480122bd8759cecd7b7a1

Something failed verifying minecraft files, see log for details.

Decompile exception: 1

Press any key to continue . . ."

BTW: I do not know where the log it is talking about is...

 

I am coding for 1.6.4 because that seems to be the most popular version for modpacks.

1.6.4 is no longer supported. Use 1.8 or at least 1.7.10 (or, IF you are using 1.6.4 for whatever dumb reason, the one you gave is not valid, use the *latest* version).

 

Yes, I know that it is no longer supported. I noted that I wanted to mod for it because it is the most popular for modpacks. I have no interest in modding for 1.8 or 1.7 until i finish this one, there are mods I want to make my mod work together with that only support 1.6.4.

 

Do you still know of any way around this error, or is it impossible to mod for 1.6.4 through this method anymore.

The statement that "1.6.4 is the most popular for modpacks" is bs. If you must though, use the forge version for 1.6.4 that uses ForgeGradle.

 

What is ForgeGradle? Where can I get it?

 

And if you look at FTB's and Technic Platform's launchers, most of their most popular modpacks use 1.6.4. I would gladly make my mod for 1.8 since it is the most updated, but none of the mods I want mine to work in cohesion with actually are not 1.8 or 1.7 at that.

Gradle is an automated build tool. ForgeGradle is a plugin for gradle that is currently used by forge to provide you with a workspace to make mods in. It decompiles and deobfuscates minecraft and various other things. The src download comes with a sample workspace to set it up, there are instructions available, you should be able to find them.

 

For 1.6.4 there is version #964 which has FG.

 

(Oh and about mods not being updated to 1.7... if they aren't by now you should abandon them, 1.6.4 is 2 years old!)

 

So I found Gradle, and I got my little folder setup where I am putting it all, and now when I build it, I get another error concerning not being able to unpack something. It downloads the first ".zip" and then tries to extract it and then dies. I'll go try to find the error message.

Download from: [redacted] and paste to your forge src's folder\mcp\jars.
