The file was not recognized by my computer so I tried opening it with 7-zip, and now it shows the 7-zip logo next to the file instead of the blank white paper looking box it once was. How would I get the command file back to its original settings?
**Update** restored to before the changes were made, re-loaded java 7 and still the same result. I could not find any forge files or decks in the roaming either. I usually can figure out pretty much any issues I have come across when it comes to computers and getting programs and apps to work, but I am truly baffled on this one.
You can re-extract the files from the latest version over your current installation if you're concerned that core files have been altered (such as forge.command.)
If that doesn't work, I'd suggest a clean and portable installation in a different folder. Just extract the contents of the zip, and before running Forge itself make a copy of forge.properties.example, rename it forge.properties, and alter the following three lines in the following manner:
"userDir=" to "userDir=./User/"
"cacheDir=" to "cacheDir=./Cache/"
"cardPicsDir=" to "cardPicsDir=./Pics/"
Then run Forge. It should be completely unaffected by any previous additions or alterations you've made. I'm pretty sure this should work for you.
