Mac OS X 10.5.8 Installation Issue [Java version issue]

    OS X 10.5.8

    So yeah, I tried installing d20Pro on my Powerbook G4, but have been unable to do so. I did some research and found that Apple isn't releasing Java 1.6 for PowerPC based chipsets. It's for Intel based chipsets and even then, it must be 64-bit.

    I searched your site and found a post regarding adding a "-DBypassJavaVersionCheck" parameter to the d20pro.sh file...

    Contents of my d2oPro.sh file:
    However, it's not working for me.

    I added the "bypass" parameter to the .sh file and ran the java command to install via terminal. I receive this message:
    I also tried running the d20Pro.sh script via terminal [sh d20pro.sh] and receive the same error message as noted above.

    I even tried modifying the contents of the d20Pro application and had no luck there either.

    Am I missing something? I really don't want to have to install macports and openJDK [amongst other required software/system tweaks] JUST to use this application.

    Any help is much appreciated.

    Thanks.

    Never mind. I fixed it myself.

    I added the -dbypassjavacheck parameter but had to remove -Dsun.java2d.ddoffscreen=false from d20Pro.sh in order for it to work.

    Then I ran the shell script via terminal and it started up!

    Hello gesusfnchrist,

    I'm not quite sure that you needed to remove the "-Dsun.java2d.ddoffscreen=false"

    Instead, it looks like in your first attempt, you had used the wrong case on the "-DBypassJavaVersionCheck" parameter. From your copied script, it looks like you had it set to "-DbypassJavaVersionCheck". Unfortunately, these parameters are case-sensitive.

    As a test, can you try to add "-Dsun.java2d.ddoffscreen=false" back into your script while double-checking the case of all parameters to confirm or deny this and post back with your results?

    Good Gaming,
