Zip

[Luger]

I was wondering if you gonna compress the game into zip. cause my dad won't let me get winrar.

 

[Kuroneko]

The game will be released in an installer

 

[Crow]

as in a .exe not .zip or .rar

so no worries

 

[Cernobylsky]

Ok, but what about people who aren t admins ? they can t use Installers... i think best is .exe and .zip....

 

[dRkILL]

Kuroneko is saying when the next version is released, we will send it out as an exe file. Being an admin doesn't matter.

Anyway, why won't your dad let you use Winrar? .rar files compress much better than .zip files. You could install Winrar, extract MS and uninstall Winrar without your dad's knowledge.

i think he means computer admin for windows XP. He is saying he is a limited user and a limited user cannot use exe files.

 

[dRkILL]

I see, I've never used XP without having administrator status. All of the computers I have that use Windows XP have all of the accounts set as administrator.

A lot of parents, perhaps wisely, don't let their kids run in administrative mode. (As opposed to me, where I don't let my parent's run their own computers in administrative mode).

Granted, the kid's probably more likely to do damage randomly unzipping stuff.

In any case, for the current version, I do have a ZIP installer, that's more complete than the current RAR - but it contains an installer exe, which you may or may not be able to run.

Tis the best I can do for ya, ATM, I'm afraid.

Tis true though, it probably shouldn't have been a RAR to begin with.

honestly, i can see some people hosting it as a .zip even if the mod team releases it as an .exe soh does it matter?

 

[Thothie]

Well no one's hosting a pure zip at the moment, which prevents some people from playing, so I guess it does matter.
