is something wrong with windows (i use Vista) or java/shoddy? once it also said that the uncompression of shoddy failed... somebody help

Makn · Sep 27th, 2009, 9:35:12 PM

It worked!!

Thank you for the help so much.

Sorry i didn't come to this topic in the first place.

m0r0nz-inc · Sep 30th, 2009, 5:56:00 PM

Shoddy has always worked for me, but recently it been a bit dodgy, but only on the Smogon server.
Not only do my old accounts work some of the time ("password is incorrect", when I'm 100% sure it's right), but when it does log on, it just freezes before the server itself comes up, leaving only the login box.

Can someone give me some things to try?
thanks

cardiff9 · Oct 7th, 2009, 10:19:56 PM

When I tried to connect to the Smogon server, it always tells me that my password is incorrect, when it is correct. How do I fix this?

dragez · Oct 13th, 2009, 11:21:36 PM

ok i have a prob in its been happening for about 2 months now i cant access my shoddy it says 0/500 0/250 for all the rooms. In its just for this computer my dads at his house works fine and others please help i need my shoddy i cant live without it lol but seriously if its a java problem what is it i have it running is there away to restore my settings please help i looked at the advice before and got lost thanks

The Plant · Oct 17th, 2009, 3:16:28 PM

Thanks to this thread I got shoddy to open.

Kyukon Kitsune · Oct 18th, 2009, 4:31:25 PM

Okay, I can open Shoddy Battle, and servers appear. But they are all empty. When I try to join one, it says: "Connection refused: connection"

I have downloaded the latest version of Java, so what's going on?

Kyukon Kitsune · Oct 18th, 2009, 4:58:38 PM

I also cannot create a shorcut (if that has to do w/ anything)

I'm on a mac, changing the Java settings to fix the stretch issue... It didn't work on SE 6, so I switched to 1.4.2 and I got this message when launching Shoddy:

bearzly · Oct 21st, 2009, 7:13:08 PM

Make sure that you have the latest java updates from software update. And what exactly didn't work in 1.6?

pkmn-taicho321 · Oct 21st, 2009, 7:47:58 PM

alright I'm trying and trying to login to smogon U's server, but for some reason I just can't. I don't get any messages. I haven't been banned as far as I know. It just ignores that I've pressed the login button/pressed enter. Smogon U is the only server giving me this issue! please I would really like to get on to the server!

I got an error saying "Cannot launch the program" or something like that...

BUT I went to the site and clicked download again and it immediately opened... Then after I closed it wouldn't open from the desktop. I'm not sure what that means...

bearzly · Oct 21st, 2009, 8:28:33 PM

Java updates usually come through Software Update on os x

Hyphy · Oct 24th, 2009, 12:01:21 PM

I have the same problem that Felix91 is having, however shoddybattle won't even open for me when I redownload it from the site. Can someone give me some insight?

Escro · Nov 2nd, 2009, 10:10:17 AM

Shoddy runs fine, I can construct teams easily, but the servers all appear empty, and when I try and connect to one, it crashes.

The main window appears like this:

I know this can't be right. Can someone give me some help?

Shortkirby · Nov 2nd, 2009, 7:41:57 PM

when I download it it says what file should I open with but I don't know what to open it with

Radio Reevesy · Nov 3rd, 2009, 6:09:52 AM

Escro: have you tried turning your firewall off? I had exactly the same problem as you, until I turned mine off.

My problem is which programs and things should I allow to use Shoddy? I don't really want my firewall off for long periods of time. I'm currently allowing java, and when I do all the servers are empty and I can't connect. Shoddy only works with the firewall off. Any ideas?

Also I have the same problem as ekul and m0r0nz-inc about my password being rejected when I'm sure I entered it correctly. Is there a way to get my password changed?

Well I've tried that and I've updated Java but still no cigar. What gives?

WrongLane, I had the same problem when I transferred my files from my old Mac. For some reason, Shoddy and or Java is pointed back to your old "home" folder from the previous account, which I presume had a different name. Solution: in the Users folder, create a new folder that exactly matches the home folder of your user account on your previous Mac. That should do it. If not, try copying the hidden folder ".shoddybattle" to the newly created folder. Good luck.

Help! I have a mac/use OS X and when I start a battle the battle window stretches and I can't see my moves! What should I do!?!

This is a bug with Java 1.5 for OS X. Open your java preferences and in the Java Applications list in the General tab, make sure that Java 1.5 is not at the top of the list. Java 1.6 is the best choice, but 1.4 also works if you don't have 1.6.

What is the general tab? I don't really know where my java preferences is. My shoddy has always worked fine, and then the above problem showed up.

I am having the same exact problem. someone please help

I've reinstalled Java, I've cleared the cache and the temporary memory stuff. So, can someone help me with this? If it helps I have the error code.

banngr · Nov 24th, 2009, 6:06:01 AM

I've worked out how to fix the java error that stops shoddy from installing.

Go to Control Panel.
Open Java.
Open Network Settings.
Select 'Direct Connection'.

Try running the .jnlp file...it should (hopefully) work!

purple crobatchop · Nov 27th, 2009, 3:48:13 AM

1. Ok, I started off nicely with the normal menu (and I can edit teams in the other tab).
2. Then I noticed:

Quote:

Smogon University [0/500] (shoddybattle.smogon.com:50000)

3. Now when I tried to connect, it lagged for a few seconds and message like this came up:

And obviously I cannot get to the login page. Now what?
