Just cd into the correct directory where this updater file is in Terminal. Then type java -jar and drag the updater.jar into Terminal. You should probably run the first two lines of that batch file first, but I can't see what they're going to do.

I just downloaded the client and it (well, the updater, at least) runs fine if you change into its directory.

s nugget@mactopus:~/Downloads/QuarterX 2.0 Client>java -jar Updater.jar
Checking for update
Update not needed
Starting up client

But the client itself doesn't work.

s nugget@mactopus:~/Downloads/QuarterX 2.0 Client>java -jar Client.jar
Updating Animations
Downloading Update - 29%
. . .
Unpacking files...
Unpacking was complete
connecting to update server
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.jvnet.substance.skin.SubstanceRavenGraphiteLookAndFeel

The other lines in the .bat file are not relevant. They just set the window title and then open two web pages. The .jar is clearly the only important part.

I'm not hopeful that it can work in OS X. Sorry.

DOSBox could run it.

 

[devonjk]

You might also be able to run that thing in Wine. I've had success with CrossOver Mac running CLI programs. In CrossOver it's easy to do:

1. Open CrossOver
2. From the Programs menu, choose Run Command
3. Click the triangle labeled More Options
4. Click Open Shell
5. Terminal opens and executes a whole bunch of commands. When it finishes:
6. Run the Windows program like you normally would from a DOS prompt. You'll need to prefix the program name with wine - i.e. wine WindowsProgram.exe

well id say that has gotten the furthest. when i ran the "run" file it actually opened the two websites and everything but failed to do the updater.jar command. Which is the important one. Thanks though.

That JAR won't work in the CrossOver environment without Java also being installed. This is easy enough to correct - download the JRE for Windows from http://java.sun.com/ then install it. Try again.
