Sorry for the double post LOL , didn't realize it.

I'll post it here , but I think it won't work , simply because this Client supposedly connects to other text to run , but it won't hurt to give it a try

@ECHO OFF

title jvm

echo jvm

echo Newest client running

JAVA -Xmx500m EGUI

P.S this may not be the right place to put this but it is all connect to the arignal question.

If you did tranlat/port it and it did something usfull there is also the question of "rights"/"access" control.

All files in Linux/Unix have 9 levels of access (Read, Write, Exaquit) for the User, Group and Others. Hence when you do a "ls" (list) in a termail next to the file there are a group of 9 letters (RWXRWXRWX) some of them displayed some not

So for a file e.g run.sh you will see one of the flowing in a list:

RWXRWXRWX run.sh

or
RWXR.XR.. run.sh

or R..XR..XR..X run.sh

or somethin simler. The meanings are as flowes

the first 3 letters are for the Owener/User
the next 3 letters are for the Group
and the finle are for Others

So if the first letter is R that means the Owner/User can Read the file.
if the second letter is W that mean the Owner/User can Write/edit/delete the file
if the 3rd letter is x that means the file can be exaquarted/run

so if the 3rd,6th and 9th letter is X then the file is exaquable by eveory one.

and so on I hope this helps

Hello Hurtboss,

Try renaming the bat file to run.sh, as others have suggested.

Then open run.sh in a text editor and remove the lines:

@ECHO OFF

title jvm

echo jvm

echo Newest client running

And add this line:

#!/bin/sh

This line makes it work like a bat file does under windows.

Next change the line:

JAVA -Xmx500m EGUI

so that the word Java is all lowercase:

java -Xmx500m EGUI

The reason for this is that under Unix (which Linux is based off of) most applications have lower names.

So you should have something similar to:

#!/bin/sh
java -Xmx500m EGUI

Now, if you are using a terminal, run

chmod u+x run.sh

This makes it executable, so that you can run it. (it sets the X bit that Steve Tompkins-MacQueen mentioned.) This is unlike Windows, where anything with a .exe extension will be launched as a an executable. This goes into a bit more depth if you would like: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions

And then

./run.sh

to launch the program. And that should be it.

If you aren't using a terminal, right click on the run.sh and select properties. Then find where it allows you to change permissions (or if it has a button that says "launch as executable" or something similar, select that and skip the next step). In permissions, make certain that it is set to be executable.

Then double click on run.sh and it should work.

Hope that helps

By the way, what game is it, if I may ask?

you can also try to run virtualbox in your linux system and install windows in one of the virtual machine and use your dos prompt and do anything you want in the vm, reinstall it if it get corrupted. unlimited OS.
