Server Start Failing

[LordWartog]

Whenever I click "Serverstart" the batch file, it opens for a second with http://prntscr.com/kz7kov then closes and nothing happens. I've tried re downloading and changing the max ram value to the "5G" as the example and it still has the same issue. Any ideas?

Can't tell much without logs, but if I were to guess blind, you run that from invalid location like onedrive or inside of archive.

Not to be an idiot but, how do I get logs for this kind of crash? and I am trying to boot it from the desktop. Is that not a valid location for this script?

[Yoosk]

There should exist logs directory and inside it serverstart.log

Now that I have the logs, I was comparing it to the "Max Ram" issue already posted but it appears either it was patched and no longer a problem, or went unresolved. my logs are extremely similar if not identical to theirs. @Yoosk

Would it be better for me to try and bypass the serverstart.bat by manually adding and running a Forge file and MC server 12.2?

[Yoosk]

Forge installer should be included in pack, script doesn't check for mc server AFAIK.

[LordWartog]

Is it in the open? or hidden in a folder somewhere?

[Yoosk]

should look like that

[LordWartog]

That is probably the issue. All of my installs have been void of the forge installer

[Yamza]

Are you installing to a host? Where ever you are installing to may be access restricted and thus not allowing you to run serverstart. Try running it as administrator(if this is on your pc)?

[LordWartog]

I'm installing from the Curse website, it installs to my downloads, I then use winrar to unpack it to my desktop into it's own folder. It's all my personal computer and running as admin doesn't change anything. Are there any places specifically I should check access? My computer in the past has locked certain areas giving access to no one (not sure why). @Yamza

[LordWartog]

So i found a possible solution (Currently testing), a solution to this problem is downloading the CORRECT/current forge, installing it in that file, and running it all from that jar instead of using the server start. The biggest issue is that it doesn't set RAM allocation as far as I can tell. Will update when I know more!

EDIT: This does work. There are a few errors that seem to be created this way, but as far as I can tell, if you don't have a Forge file, Get it, install it manually, then launch through the universal forge exe
