Re: FAERUN: Map Update
 

Edi, thanks very much!
I downloaded, but am afraid it will be a bit until I can check it out (and enjoy!!) extensively, the evil RL is calling.

Re: FAERUN: Map Update
 

I am a dorkus... I cannot figure out how to use the new map. I see the old .map file and the old .tga file. But the new files are .rar files. What am I supposed to do to use the new file? Do I change it's name, etc.? Any advice would be appreciated. It looks like a fun map!

Thanks. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: FAERUN: Map Update
 

rar files are a type of compression, like zip files. d/l winrar to most simply deal w/ them.

Re: FAERUN: Map Update
 

Aha! Thanks. I will try that.

Can't wait to download this "improved" Version. The old one seemed to have some problems, so I didn't play it, but as soon as I'm on vacation ( just 10 more days, yay ), Faerun will be conquered by Ulmish steel. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Would you do a Warhammer map if I can somehow get a decent scan?

Re: FAERUN: Map Update
 

Of course, if people keep using rar then you have to pay to register winrar, on top of already possibly having paid to register winzip. (Although winrar handles zips, the interface, at Last check, left even more to be desired than pkzip did. Note : Pkzip also handles .rar files.)

Re: FAERUN: Map Update
 

How about WinAce? Handles .zip, .rar and .ace :P

Re: FAERUN: Map Update
 

Where did you get that from?
Ive been using Winrar for a long time and havent even been prompted to register.
AFAIK it might ask you to register after a VERY long time using it and even then it isnt obligatory...

EDIT: Im using a regular PC with Windows installed...

Re: FAERUN: Map Update
 

Under Linux,
both zip and unrar are free ... :-)

anyway I agree it could be better if all modders/mappers use winzip (that is the format proposed by the developers on theyr web site).

any way, I forgot to say that I like both the maps, the big and the small one ...

I look on my RPG stuff If I'm abel to find a good maps to scan and post ...

good play
Liga

Re: FAERUN: Map Update
 

Excuse me, but what exactly have you been smoking? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif I've been using Winrar, Winzip and PowerArchiver at various points and I've never had to register. The trial Versions I've had have just an annoying prompt that asks you to register (but you don't have to do that), but I've used them way past the trial periods with no trouble.

I can do things in the zip format just as easily as rar, I've just happened to set the defaults in Winrar to rar compression so it used that when I didn't changed anything.

Sure. I'm a little rusty on the Warhammer world, but I'm sure I could manage something. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif
