SMEdit - Please help

Hi all,

As you may have guess from the title im having problems with SMEdit, I am trying to add extra memory for it to run smoother as it jitters all the time, however when i run cmd.exe and change the path to StarMade and try either java -jar SMEdit.jar or java -Xmx1g -jar SMEdit.jar it comes up with "java" is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

I tried looking here http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12128195/java-exe-is-not-recognized-as-an-internal-or-external-command as Tomino as well as some other links have sugguested, and to be honest i have no idea really what there talking about with ant.bat and using these % signs etc, i did however manage to add java to the PATH Varible but didnt make a difference. I am sure im not the only one with this problem but i guess some people dont want to look silly, and for a while so did I, but its to the point where i can use it other than to look at small fighter size craft.

I thank you inadvance for any help anyone can give, and a HUGE thank you if it is in plain english not technical lol.

Thank you Lister for the reply, although could i bug for something else.

although i probably know more than the average joe about computers, when it comes to this stuff im really at a loss, and so although i did what you said, i started a new text doc in my Starmade folder where SMEdit is, and i opened the text doc and copied and pasted what you said to

@ECHO OFF
SET BINDIR=%~dp1
\"C:\\Program Files\\Java\\jre7\\bin\\java.exe\" -Xms1024M -Xmx6024M -jar SMEdit.jar\"
PAUSE

but this is where im lost, i only seem to be able to save a a txt doc or an all files doc, so i have saved it as a txt doc, there wasnt an option or smedit.bat or run.bat, nor do i know what those two things are or where to look for them on my system.

If ive not already dont something wrong, where do i go from here what do i need to do?

So i have managed to create that SMEdit.bat file, however when i run it i get this messge in cmd.exe

Error occurred during initialization of VM. Could not reserve enough space for object heap. Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine. Error: A Fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit. Press any key to continue ...



I used this in the bat file ...

@ECHO OFF
SET BINDIR=%~dp1
\"C:\\Program Files\\Java\\jre7\\bin\\java.exe\" -Xms1024M -Xmx3024M -jar SMEdit.jar\"
PAUSE



Hope this info can help in helping me.

i also tried with a lower xmx 1024 instead of 3024

yes i had already check java and made sure i tried both 32 and 64bit version, but no luck, so in a fit of rage i backed up all my ships deleted StarMade completly and started from scratch, and finally got it to work ... BUT ........

Now my problem it wont stay at 3gb everytime i run SMEdit its reverting back to 2gb (the default when i reinstalled it, which i thought was odd to start of with) but the only way i can get it to run with 3gb or whatever is through cmd.exe or is that the only way?
