That's weird. The Java 8 feature set (which is the thing that keeps it from running on newer major Java versions) shouldn't have changed at any point.Funnly enough, it isnt enough with the last release of Java 8. You have to dig through every one of them to find the one that works properly with this dumpsterfire.
Did it throw an error? Is there an error.log file somewhere in the Lilith's Throne directory?i did download java 8 and it still didn't work
you can. If you download and use it - delete file from folderHow can I delete image, that I assigned earlier to an NPC?

it didn't even open. and ill attach the error.log to this.That's weird. The Java 8 feature set (which is the thing that keeps it from running on newer major Java versions) shouldn't have changed at any point.
One other possibility is that there's a later version of Java on the system. Java generally tries to use the latest JRE version to open JARs, so if you have both Java 8 and Java 17 installed, it'll try (and fail) to load the game with the latter.

It looks like there was a problem opening one of the game's image files (specifically, something in the "res" folder).it didn't even open. and ill attach the error.log to this.
Program Files

, as doing so can cause the game to have trouble reading and writing data.Java 8 is very poorly supported on both macOS and Linux at this time, and the way the game's compiled effectively requires that version. Counter-intuitively, it's often easier to compile Linux from source on non-Windows platforms than to try to get JRE8 running.Is it just me or does the .jar version not work on Mac anymore? I redownloaded this game after a couple years to have fun but it doesn't seem to be opening.
The game's source is available so you can just check the .java files. You can find the data (including generated text) here:Is there any way to unpack the exe file? I want to look into the lines generated during sex scenes, which I couldn't find in any of the files so far (searched using notepad++). I realize that the descriptions/dialogue in sex scenes are somewhat randomly generated, although some parts never change. Thanks!

Are you using an Intel Mac or an Apple Silicon Mac? I was able to build a JAR that would work on the latter using a modern version of Java, but I might be able to do so for the former as well.

Installation Instructions:
That should be it! Let me know if you have any questions.
- Make sure you have OpenJDK 17 installed (I'm using Zulu OpenJDK 17 on my Mac, but any distro should work).
- Grab the JAR bundle from the first page of this thread and extract it somewhere.
- Download the ZIP from the link above.
- Extract the ZIP and move the files into the Lilith's Throne directory (you can delete the old LT JAR—it's no longer necessary at this point. You only really need the
res
directory).- Double-click

Note to everyone else: The linked JAR will only work on Apple Silicon Macs since it only includes the JavaFX natives for that platform. If you want to produce a fat JAR for your platform of choice,You must be registered to see the links.
I tried what you said and redownloaded the game but it's still not working. I'm not sure if its because I'm on windows 11 pro.It looks like there was a problem opening one of the game's image files (specifically, something in the "res" folder).
Try downloading the game again (either version should be fine) and extracting it. Also, make sure that you don't put the game inProgram Files
orProgram Files (x86)
, as doing so can cause the game to have trouble reading and writing data.
Also, if you're upgrading from one version to another make sure to completely delete the "res" folder before extracting the new version. Sometimes they end up shuffling a bunch of that stuff around between versions, and occasionally that can lead to issues during upgrades unless you wipe the old game data out entirely. Your saved games are stored in a separate folder ("data") so you don't have to worry about losing them if you do that.
