Hello! I've tried getting both the javaws version (I've not heard of encountered javaws before, so might be ignorance on my part there) nor the downloadable .jar file version. I downloaded the latter to my downloads directory, extracted the zip file, opened a shell, navigated to where the jar file was, and executed the command as per the instructions - all I get is the splash screen, and no indication of what's amiss. My system is Linux Mint (latest version) installed over what had been an ailing Ubuntu 10.04 install, on a PC with 2GB of RAM and twin AMD 4800+ CPUs. Minecraft runs perfectly well on this PC, using either Suns JRE or the Open one. I've tried selecting the jar file and then 'open with..' with both JRE's.
Any help/advice as to what may help/what I may be doing amiss (if anything) greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

I'm sorry you're having problems with getting MSP 3.01 running. You say you've gone to the extracted project directory and ran "java -jar mars-sim-main-3.01.jar", and only got the splash screen. That means that something is failing when the program starts up. Hopefully we can track this down.
Try (from the same project directory) running the following command:
This should display a stack trace of whatever error that is causing the program to fail.
Hopefully we can get this resolved for you. Thanks for letting us know.

Just spotted my mistake, and tried again. thsi time I got:
15-Feb-2012 23:46:40 INFO org.mars_sim.msp.MarsProject Starting Mars Simulation
15-Feb-2012 23:46:42 WARNING org.mars_sim.msp.MarsProject Could not load default simulation
15-Feb-2012 23:46:42 SEVERE org.mars_sim.msp.MarsProject Could not load the default simulation, trying to create new…
- I also obtained an error message window telling me it couldn;t load the default simulation etc, and now a configuration editor has opened. I've now selected Alpha Base, Add, and then create new simulation - and nothing seems to be happeneing. Java is using 0% CPU, and all I/m left with is the splash screen. No further messages in the terminal window.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
This is strange and it's not providing any additional error messages. It's just failing to create and start a new simulation.
All of the command line logs and the error message you saw are expected behaviour since there are no simulation save files on your computer. After the Simulation Configuration Editor dialog, it should create the new simulation and start it up, displaying the main window. For some reason it's failing to do this and not displaying any error logs.
I will try to recreate this bug on one of systems, but I'm not quite sure what's causing it. You might want to try creating a new simulation with just Alpha Base (same process you did before, just select all the other settlement rows in the table and click the "Remove" button). It's possible that it might be running out of memory creating so many settlements.
If we're not successful with this, I could send you a pre-release of the 3.02 version that we've been working on. I fixed a few memory-related bugs and it's possible that it might work better on your system (no guarantee).

Just tried again and deselected all bar Alpha, as per above, identical results to last time.
Might I suggest that if there's a save file you could send me, and tell me where to place it, that it may be worth trying starting it up with that in place?
I'd prefer not to try a pre-release, although thanks for offering; I don;t have quite as much patience with software as I used to when younger, so I'd rather wait until 3.02 is out properly and then try again.

Looks like the email I sent wasn't recognised as a valid address. I sent you a message through sourceforge.
If you could send me your valid email address to "scud1@users.sourceforge.net" I could attach the MSP 3.01 save file. We could see if that works for you or not.
Sorry for all the trouble,
Scott

I sent you an email at your sourceforge account address and attached a save file from the 3.01 build. Let me know if this works for you or not.
