My Mod: The Mizendar Galaxy

[Wydraz]

.091 patch for mizendar

Includes minor AI and text fixes. Should allow Ai to use Aether engines and sails properly. Let me know how it works for you!

Finally got to download this. It looks really nice. However I have a problem.

I extracted the first zip fine, extracted the patch fine, but the second zip file doesn't seem to want to extract. When I go to open it it comes up with a window that says "Compressed (zipped) files. Insert Last disk of the multi disk set"

I figured maybe it auto extracts when the first one extracts? Is that correct? The mod loads OK, but I'm not sure if I am missing stuff in it (from the second zip) or not.

Sorry - I'm not very technical! But any advise would be appreciated!

Perhaps Wydraz needs some instructions with the mod link?

With more advanced archive utilities (ie: not WinZip), you can create zips/rars/aces/etc. that come in multiple parts (files), so you can get under limits like the 30 GB file limit on Shrapnel, stick them on floppy disks, etc. Useful for large files being downloaded on slow connections as well. My guess is that this is what Wydraz did when making the zips.

[Wydraz]

I don't understand the problem. All the zips are discreet files that should be unzipped into the same directory.

Also, I am not using WinZip. I am using Windows XP to create the zip files. All I do is drag and drop the proper directories, and all the files are zipped.

OK, perhaps the file I downloaded has been corrupted somehow?

That's the only thing I can think of...I'm running XP too.

Anyone else have a similar problem?

[Wydraz]

I would try and download the files again. I just did, and the opened just fine.

It would be better to use an actual zipping program instead of the built-in XP zipper, as it is not very good (worse than WinZip even IIRC).
