Well I've been playing the java blood bowl application for a short while, then i decided to clear a (i thought unimpotant) icon. Although after doing this launching the java from the [play] game launcher link it refused to work, coming up with a folder list with the heading " select java blood bowl directory" (i think) So i deleted all my blood bowl applications then re installed everything from the sites. The same problem continued 
So i kept on trying and now i have it so : Bbowl.jar from the 8.8A download launches manually but the Bbowl.jar from the 8.8B download fails saying "SPLASH ERROR > The original splash image is either corrupted, missing or changed.Replace the original splash image and restart."  Even though i had done nothing. And now when i lauch from the [play] game launcher link it says ->Error - Java virtual machine launcher - cannot find main class.Program will exit"
So basically, can anyone help me? Plz. I want to continue playing the java blood bowl. |

How about when "select java blood bowl directory" comes up, you select your java blood bowl directory? |

When selecting the java blood bowl directory you are just supposed to select the directory. No need to find any files in it. Just select it. |

Does your Java work on other program/sites? (could be an error with Java itself)
My machine have put some things on the desktop, maybe try to look there?  |

It sounds like you downloaded the patch (the 8.8b version) but didn't install it (by dragging it into the 8.8a folder). Nine times out of ten, the "Corrupted or Broken Splash Image" error means that you installed the patch incorrectly.
So to fix it (and this really isn't complicated enough for 16 steps, I'm just being as thorough as possible)...
1. Delete all copies of Javabbowl, bbowl, etc... off your hard drive. Really. Just start from scratch.
2. Download the full version - 8.8a. You wind up with a .zip file sitting on your machine somewhere. Remember where.
3. Unzip the 8.8a full download.
4. Put the 'bbowl' folder wherever you like and then leave it there. Do not move anything out of that folder. Just leave it be.
(Let's pretend you're using a PC and you choose to put it at "C:/bbowl". I'm going to refer to that below, but just remember to swap in the folder that you really chose to use.)
5. Now, really quick-like, just open that folder at C:/bbowl and double-click on bbowl.jar. It should open up and say 8.8a, allowing you to start a standalone game as a test.
5a. I recommend taking this opportunity to set your options as you like them. The only mandatory one is clicking on the FUMBBL Login option.)
6. Start up your standalone game and click through to the first turn. Concede and end the game. Make sure you get the end of game screen.
7. Close the .jar file. You've successfully installed and configured the old version.
8. Download the 8.8b patch. Remember where you save the .zip file.
9. Unzip the 8.8b patch .zip file.
10. Go into the folder that you just created and find bbowl.jar.
11. Copy the bbowl.jar from the patch folder and paste it into C:/bbowl. It will as if you want to overwrite the old, 8.8a version. Say yes.
12. Repeat step 11 for any other FILES (not folders)!
I could be wrong, but I think 8.8b is just the new .jar file and maybe a new readme. Nothing trixy.
13. Double-click on the new C:/bbowl/bbowl.jar to start up 8.8b. It should work fine.
Note that you can play like this. Just double-click on the .jar file and copy and paste in the roster and host information. It's really not that hard.
14. To get the "Play" link set up, try clicking on it. It should as you to find the bbowl directory.
15. Navigate to C:/bbowl and click on "choose". |
