TDM-ModPack 3.30 BETA - Page 4

Captain Kwok · #31 February 9th, 2003, 06:24 PM

I hate to agree with Fyron, but I also prefer the .zip file Version for flexibility, if I had the bandwidth I wouldn't mind hosting a .zip verson, but unfortunately I do not.

It kind of boggles the mind to know that Users who can play a complex game like Space Empires can't use a simple program like winzip! Again hating to agree with Fyron, but this should be a must for any computer user!

Is something wrong with agreeing with me?

For those of you that would much rather have a Zip file of TDM 3.30 instead of an exe installer, I have decided to upload one for you. If you do not know how to use a Zip file, DO NOT download this. Get the installer Mephisto has uploaded.

The contents of this file are exactly the same as those of the installer. For some strange reason, this file is a bit larger than the exe, but whatever. Here it is:

TDM-Modpack.zip -- 10,477 KB
TDM-Modpack.rar -- 9,641 KB -- requires Winrar or Unrar. WILL NOT OPEN IN WINZIP

Mephisto, RAR files compress to about the same size your installer is.

Too bad people are hooked on ZIP and can't learn better methods.

Question: If I'm currently running a solo game using TDM v3.2 (with SEIV 1.84, of course), will the saved game still work if I update to TDM 3.3, or will I need to start a fresh game?

You can upgrade ingame, no need to restart the game.

Well, one reason many people may use zip is that they probably don't know where the .rar comes from. I'm one of them. I've seen it used for the past few months, but I have no idea of what program to use to "unzip" them. What's it called and where can I find it?

Yeah, as Capnq said (quoting me).

You can get WinRar at http://www.rarlabs.com.

I tried to e-mail the TDM-Modpack team, but the address I found was no good, so I'll ask here. Is it alright to usemodified Versions of the TDM AI files in my mod if they're credited? It would save me a lot of time.

You can use them, please see Tampas post above for details about it. Where did you get the "bad" Email from? I would like to correct it if I can.
