Forge compilation and execution

[sky81]

Hello,

First I want to congratulate you for this great project. I like it very much.

I'm trying to compile and run the entire forge project on my local PC without git account. I just want to make some changes locally and see if they work.
So far I made this steps:
1. Install Intellij
2. I took the code from here:
https://github.com/Card-Forge/forge
Get the zip and extracted to some folder
3. Rebuild the entire project. No errors. Everything is ok

How, I don't see any exe file. When I try to run from Intallij, is not working.

What am I missing?

Thank you for your help
George

I am guessing they do that as a separate step ?

Java programs are typically run as .jar
(especially since .exe is a Windows-only thing, while Java is multi-platform even after compilation)
doesn't running the .jar that should result not working for you ?

I've try the jar files but with no luck
Try this one also: forge-master\forge-gui-desktop\src\main\config\appbundler-1.0-custom.jar but nothing happens
Error is this one: no main manifest attribute, in c:\forge-master\forge-gui-desktop\src\main\config\appbundler-1.0-custom.jar file

P.S. I have install: Intellij IDEA 2022.2.3
Click Open and navigate to folder where I extracted the zip file from this page
https://github.com/Card-Forge/forge

I've install Intellij and maven like described. They are working.
I download the Forge project as zip and unziped in a folder
Then I follow these instructions:
https://github.com/Card-Forge/forge/wiki/IntelliJ-setup
But at the end when I try to run/debug project I get this error:
Connected to the target VM, address: '127.0.0.1:49870', transport: 'socket'
Unknown mode.
Known mode is 'sim', 'parse'
Disconnected from the target VM, address: '127.0.0.1:49870', transport: 'socket'

Process finished with exit code 0

Does anyone knows what is the problem?
I cannot figure it out how to run the project

Any help is appreciated
Thanks

I manage to run/debug by deleting the VM options:
"-Xms768m -XX:+UseParallelGC -Dsun.java2d.xrender=false --add-opens java.base/java.util=ALL-UNNAMED --add-opens java.base/java.lang=ALL-UNNAMED --add-opens java.base/java.lang.reflect=ALL-UNNAMED --add-opens java.base/java.text=ALL-UNNAMED --add-opens java.desktop/java.awt.font=ALL-UNNAMED --add-opens java.base/jdk.internal.misc=ALL-UNNAMED --add-opens java.base/sun.nio.ch=ALL-UNNAMED --add-opens java.base/java.nio=ALL-UNNAMED -Dio.netty.tryReflectionSetAccessible=true"

But I get some warnings but eventually it opens. Some where in the arguments above it is an error:
om.thoughtworks.xstream.converters.ConversionException: No converter available

Anyway, does someone knows hoe to open in debug the AdventureMode?
I've try setting path to forge-adventure folder but it opens some editor and not the screen where I can choose AdventureMode

Thanks
