Hi all, I'm new to the game and figured I'd start off with the vanilla+ mod to get going. Sadly I can't figure out how to run it. I've tried all the steps here, multiple times. I can't figure this crap out and I'm about to kill someone, something, or both.
Each time I get to the same spot, I can launch the launcher (either through the bat or the launcher after editing the vmparams file). The launcher always loads, I make sure the mod is listed and activated, then I start the game. The game starts and I get the loading progress bar. It gets to the end then I get the same error every time, Fatal Index 0 blah blah blah. The end of the log says this:
"14364 [Thread-5] DEBUG com.fs.graphics.TextureLoader - Loading [graphics/ships/atlas_af.png] as texture with id [graphics/ships/atlas_af.png]

I have 2 versions of Java installed, just for *** and giggles. I have the older 7 (which was the original recommendation on the first post, but it's also out dated) as well as the version 8. I didn't even bother directing it to version 8 in any of my tries, nor did I copy and paste the version 8 into the core folder. I just have it there ... for some reason. I did find a 64 bit version of version 7, though, which was nice of CNET to give me so I didn't have to sign into Oracle.
Anyway, I'm going to bed. Can anyone offer me help so I can figure this out when I get up tomorrow (today)? Otherwise I might be bald by the end of the night.
EDIT: Oh, also, I had trouble editing and saving the vmparams file because of permission errors, though I eventually told my computer to STFU and know who it's master is. I'm also not sure if putting the starting and ending storage numbers as gigs or megs mattered so I eventually tried both to no avail. I'm also running 8 gigs and tried 2-3, 2-4, 2-5, and 1-4 ... in both "2g" form as well as "2048m" form. Also, obviously, to no avail.
Is it illegal to shoot your computer?
