You haven't even posted the .bat file. Depending on what it is, maybe just renaming it and fixing the permissions on it. It may require more massaging. We just have no idea. We can try to help once there is something to help with. Post the file, and/or link to a site and we'll see what we can do.

Also, 8 minutes? Take it down a bit.

No Java.

.bat is a DOS shell script, .sh is a Unix shell script.

As far as I know, there is no automatic way to covert DOS commands to Unix shell commands.

8 minutes plus at least two other posts in other forums.

Anyway, a bat file generally can't be changed to a sh file without rewriting it totally - bat files are DOS, sh are Linux/Unix shell scripts.

That file is a .zip archive. You first need to unarchive it (double-click on it in the Finder if it doesn't do it automatically). Inside that folder are 3 files: a .jar (Java) file, a Config.bat file, and a readme file. The Read Me says you don't even need the .bat file unless your client is crashing. The Config.bat file is readable as text, here is the contents:

@echo off
Title BattleScape Client
java -Xmx500m -jar client.jar
pause
exit

But, that won't run on a Mac as a .sh (shell script) anyway. What you're supposed to do with the .jar file to get your game to run, I have no idea, sorry (it won't launch using Jar Launcher.app for me).

If double clicking the jar file doesn't work, just try running the command

java -Xmx500m -jar client.jar

inside Terminal from the directory with the jar file.

i dont get it. so it will never work

i can't test this because I don't have the proper OS/Architecture to run java 1.6 on my Mac. You need to be on leopard on a 64-bit chip (most new Core 2 Duos, etc. i think). If you have Leopard, you may have java 1.6, so just try to run:
java -Xmx500m -jar client.jar

from terminal in the folder you've saved the client.jar file to.

If you get errors, you can post them here, but at this point if it doesn't work its unlikely you can do anything to fix it.
