Hello Koolsource Community!

If you are getting:

Outdated Server Error

Then it means you are using the wrong client version.

Why?

Minecraft was recently updated, but we can only update KoolSource to new versions of Minecraft when all/most of our Mods can be updated as well, this can take days, depending on the update and the availability of developers to port the Mods.

FOR FUTURE MINECRAFT UPDATES, PLEASE POSTPONE UPDATING YOUR CLIENT UNTIL YOU'RE CERTAIN THE SERVER HAS BEEN UPDATED

Download MC 1.8.1

If you were lucky, you would not have auto-updated your client. Fortunately, there is a simple solution.

The Minecraft client that currently works on KoolSource is the same client you have been using until the latest MineCraft update, you can download it once again here, or use your own archived version.

UPDATED
Download link: http://www.koolsourc...current_client/
Download the minecraft.jar file



Install Instructions

On Windows:

1) Hit the Start button.

2) Type %AppData%\.minecraft\bin in the white search box, this takes you to the MineCraft folder.

3) There you will see a file named "minecraft.jar" and a file named "version".

4) Overwrite the minecraft.jar there with the version you downloaded from KoolSource.


On Linux / Mac:

1) Start Finder / Nautilus

2) Go to /home/USERNAME/.minecraft/bin (You may have to select View -> Show hidden files to see this).

3) There you will see a file named "minecraft.jar" and a file named "version".

4) Overwrite the "minecraft.jar" there with the version you downloaded from KoolSource.



Done! You can now run Minecraft as normal, do not double-click the .jar there, that is not the way to start MineCraft, just use the shortcut you had on your desktop or so.

To let your client auto-update again, when KoolSource has upgraded, or for whatever reason, simply delete the "version" file I showed you above, and then start MineCraft.

1.0.0 UPDATE

[CPRobertson1]

When is the server likely to be brought up to 1.3?

Good question lol, like i said in the above post it is dependant on how available and motivated the mod developers are, we can't upgrade to the new version and risk everything getting griefed.

I can tell you it is definitely going to be over a week.

All the other servers that use the same mods as us are in the same boat. The only people that will have updated servers are the ones that are running vanilla or their own custom mods which they have already updated themselves.

I will keep you informed of our progress though .

[Kieranlrobertson]

another update had happened should we do the same thing till server is fix?

Client was recently updated to 1.4! We need a new server patch

[jsyverson]

Hey Ax I don't have that AppData file is there another solution?

[Deano]

The server will yet again take a while to be updated for the same reasons as last time, realistically you should not of updated your client until you had checked the server to see if it had been updated, this is why notch integrated patches to be optional.

[Kieranlrobertson]

thanks for information

[jsyverson]

Deano is there a way to back it up?

[jsyverson]

Ok i found the file Ax but I can't download the replacement from that retarded website.

App data is a hidden folder, so you may need to change your folder settings to show them so you can get into the AppData folder.

Go to your control panel and select folder options. Go to the view tab and there should be an option that says show hidden files and folders and then you should be able to see it ^^

[PigCop]

See you guys when the server gets updated

[John]

just type %appdata% into your Explorer URL bar if your on windows; that'll open the AppData folder.
