Any help is appreciated
Maybe you should use Warp then? For the life of me I am unable to find a thread about it here, but it should solve this vexing problem (and automate updating Mafia, to boot). Also, WarpLauncher for OS X should work on a system WITHOUT Apple's JDK, which I have a hunch we'll be seeing come 10.9. Anyway... it can be found here: http://www.worldwizard.net/warp/I download my new .jar every few days but don't know where to put it. I can (and do) use the new .jar but it renders the mafia icon on my dock useless. Where am I supposed to put the new .jar file or better yet how do I set up the auto-download/install? I've looked a few times over the last year or so and can't ever get concentrated enough to figure it out
It did in the past, but not anymore. It is now compiled to Java SE 5 standards, like KoLmafia itself is - as i_eat_food said above.
The preferences file stores some Warp-specific settings. If you want to change the defaults, you need to launch Warp with the --prefs argument (easiest to do this from the Terminal). I suppose I could change Warp so that it only creates its settings file if it actually needs to - i.e. you're using non-default settings - if the current behavior bothers you. Another option is to make Warp put its settings somewhere else (along with the version.txt file it also creates) - which is easy enough to do.
