Ok so I downloaded the bukkit server program to a folder on my desktop, then I added the java -Xms1024M -Xmx1024M -jar craftbukkit.jar -o true PAUSE to a notepad file, then renamed it run.bat ... but when I pushed enter it stayed as .txt . When I opened the files properties it said it was named ''technically'' as run.bat.txt , so as the wiki says to use quotes ''run.bat'' but that did nothing either. It says I'm able to click the run.bat file but it just opens the notepad text. Why won't it change no matter what I do? I renamed the downloaded .jar file TO craftbukkit.jar, but still nothing, anyone know why it's doing this? I did this before in the past and it changed TO a .bat file but now it's not doing anything for some reason. I'm using win7.
If you're using windows, here's what you need to do: 1. Open any folder. 2. Click the 'Organize' drop down. 3. Select 'Folder and search options'. 4. Select the 'View' tab. 5. Un-select the box 'Hide extensions for known file types'. Now you should be able to view the file type of your 'run' file. Yours should appear as 'run.bat.txt' like you said. But now when renaming it, you can delete the .txt part and rename it to run.bat
You could also retype it in Notepad, and when you save it, you want to go to the 'Save as Type' and select All Files, then name it run.bat. Then it'll be a batch file, not a plain text document.
Editing the bat file when you save Push ctrl + s. This is one of the solutions to your problem. run.zip
