Running using the source code

If you want to run from source you need to install:

  1. The python interpreter. To run Region Fixer you need to install python version 2.7.x (x meaning whatever number but the bigger the better). Get 32 or 64bits depending on your platform, 64bits preferred. Remember your choice! You will have to download the next package (needed to run the GUI) with for the same platform and python version. Download it from: https://www.python.org/downloads/

  2. WX widgets for python or wxPython. This is only needed if you plan to run the GUI. As said before, choose the proper download for your windows and python installation! Download it from: http://wxpython.org/download.php#msw

For example if I have a windows 8 64bits I would have to download python 2.7.7 for windows 64bits and wxpython for python 2.7.7 64bits.

Getting started

First you have to download the source code. Te source is in github, you can find a download button at the bottom of the right column. Also here it is a direct link:

https://github.com/Fenixin/Minecraft-Region-Fixer/archive/master.zip

Decompress it using your favourite software in any place, but please, rememeber where.

Using the graphic interface

It's as easy as double clicking regionfixer_gui.py

Using the command line interface

Now run a CMD window. If you have windows 7/8 is as easy as write cmd in the start menu search and run it. At this point you have to change directory you are on to the one that stores region-fixer. To do this use the "cd" command. For example:

c:\Users\Fenixin\> cd Desktop
c:\Users\Fenixin\Desktop\
c:\Users\Fenixin\Desktop\cd ..
c:\Users\Fenixin\

If you don't know how, google it! There are a lot of good tutorials, youtube is also a good place to search.

Finally you can run region-fixer, for that you will have to run something simillar to this:

region-fixer.py c:\Users\Owner\Minecraft-worlds\broken-world\

this command will scan the whole world and report any problems found.

Region-Fixer has a lot of useful options run "region-fixer.exe --help" to see them all.

For more information on how to use it see Usage.

Linux

For linux the best way is to get the source from github using your preferred method, for example: git clone https://github.com/Fenixin/Minecraft-Region-Fixer.git

To run it you only need the python interpreter which is most probably installed already in your distribution. If you want to run the GUI you have to install wxpython. In ubuntu 14.04 you can install it by install the package python-wxgtk2.8 (I think... Please, if I'm wrong tell me the correct one!).

Mac

First I have to say I don't own a Mac and I can't really write a tutorial for this. Said that, you need the same as in Linux: python and wxpython (for the GUI). Once installed it must work exactly the same way as in linux.

If you have a better tutorial for mac I will be more than happy to post it here.
