[Tool] GD Stash

[Sun_Monster]

the requirement has always been the same. It does not really need a 64bit VM, but Oracle’s 32bit VM is having issues allocating the space for Items.arc while the 64bit VM does not (nor does IBM’s 32bit VM, but that is harder to get…).

You can run it with the 32bit VM via the .bat file. Open a command prompt, run the .bat from there and check the messages you get since this is not working for you…

Okay, time for some stupid questions:

1. What does “VM” stand for?
2. I tried opening the .bat file and I just get a black DOS-like screen that goes away real fast. What am I doing wrong?
3. I don’t see a gdstash.exe file any more since I upgraded. Is that intentional? What am I missing?

Thank you for your patience - I did say in my original post that I’m not as computer literate as I should be.

1. VM stands for Virtual Machine, basically a Java interpreter

2. hard to say, open a command prompt, navigate to the dir and then run the .bat from the command prompt, that hopefully gives you some info

3. sounds like you used the exe before and downloaded the Java version this time. In that case I suggest you download the executable again. Go back to the first post and make sure you use the right link

I just downloaded it today, and when I click the exe file, nothing happens.

Okay, I got it to work. Now I cannot import the database. Almost wish I hadn’t bought it through Steam if it was going to screw up the program like that.

Works now, just opened the batch file instead. Thanks.

Must be something with your Java setup then, the batch should result in the same thing as a double-click, just with more heap space…

sounds like you are updating a different stash than what the game uses. Did you switch from local save to cloud or vice versa ? The save location is different for the two options.

If you use local saves and do not have the stash open in game at the same time, you should see the changes you made in GD Stash immediately upon opening it in game.
Cloud save is way more finnicky, so I do not recommend using it with the tool.

When you start GD Stash it loads the stash file, so if you later change it in game, you will need to reload it in GD Stash to see those changes.

Thank you so much, that was very helpful.

Took me a while to realize, that I was doing nothing wrong.

Turns out, that for some reason my firewall decided to treat THIS version of GD Stash differently, it was isolating it, so none of the changes in GD Stash actually got saved. :rolleyes:

It´s all working prefectly again.

Me so happy now.

You are using a 32bit Java. If you are on a 64bit OS, make sure to use 64bit Java. Alternatively, start the tool via the included .bat file

where can i get the right one then? and when i click the file it the command prompt window thing pops up for like a split second then disapears

Which file are you clicking, the .bat file?

If you open a command prompt (Start > cmd), then navigate to the location of the .bat file, then run the .bat file, the error message should display and not disappear.

ive got all the stuff that was included in the zip in a folder on my desktop for starters, is that ok to do? and how do i search for it in the command prompt? im not tech savvy to say the least and yeh im double clicking that bat file and it just pops up for a second

[Conor12345]

is this what u mean? i dragged the bat file into the cmd thing and hit enter

forgot to quote u but read the above stuff please

[slipperypete]

Perhaps adding a “> startup-log.txt” to the bat file would help, so its logged to file? =)

In any case…

is this what u mean? i dragged the bat file into the cmd thing and hit enter

You either don’t have Java installed, or its not configured on your “path”.
Either google “installing java” or “adding java to path” should lead you to a solution =)

Look at the documentation in the doc folder, there is a link to download Java from (or just google it). The link leads to both 32bit and 64bit Java versions.

If GDStash is not opening, then Java is not in your path. Not sure why double-clicking the .jar would work then however.

the location does not matter

and how do i search for it in the command prompt? im not tech savvy to say the least and yeh im double clicking that bat file and it just pops up for a second

java is not in your path, which it should be after installing it… so I suggest reinstalling Java

[mamba]

yeah, will add that

[ibugsy]

Not sure why double-clicking the .jar would work then however.

Because when Java is installed, it does some registry magic to associate the Java executable with .jar files.

See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/25076766/running-jar-file-double-click-vs-command-line-execution

When it runs it this way, then Java is launched with a default environment set.

Hello there, I try to use this soft for the first time and I have a strange issue.

First I try to import in the DB all my green items and I got quite a lot of errors like
javax.swing.ImageIcon@199178 Item records/items/gearweapons/caster/a01_dagger003.dbr is already stored in stash

If I look in the DB and the stash, I have some items with same seed, mostly 0 so I assume it’s quest Items, and always the same.

Is it a limitation to block identical quests items to be stored, I assume I have to duplicate those items when I want them back ?

Since this is the first time you’ve run it, you need to import the GD data first, then import your items.

If you look at the Configuration tab and scroll down, you will see the Import Database button. Click that to import the GD database, then try import your stashes.

Note: You’ll want to import the GD database everytime GD gets updated to get any new items or changes made.
