MapBitter not working?

Hey! So I've taken it upon myself to create a map for Galimulator, and am following the instructions on how to do so at http://blog.galimulator.com/8-modding/2-maps.

Problem is, when I try to run the MapBitter.exe file on a .bmp file nothing happens, not even an error pop-up. I'm running on Windows 7, and I'd really like to get along with making my map. Thanks :)

Excellent question! If you happen to be on the discord, can you ping me there so I could help you get that started? If not, are you able to run MapBitter.exe from a shell (like powershell) to see if it prints anything before just exiting? :)

I don't have Discord right now, but I could get it if I don't get anywhere with Powershell. I should've tried that earlier.

Yeah, nothing came up in Powershell.

That's weird, it just didn't print anything at all? :|

Hmm, do you have a JRE installed? Does typing "java -version" in the shell print something interesting? If so I can send you the compiled java class and you can see how it goes.

I'd be happy to send you the java source code to it, if you even happen to know how to compile and run java code :)

It seemed I had an older version of Java, and I updated it, but that didn't seem to really fix the problem. I'm not pretending that I'm good at using java, but if you want to send it and give me some tips along the way I'm willing to try.
