Ooh, that's clever. Linking to the ags game list's download url to get a more accurate download count.

Flippy_D · Sat 05/10/2002 23:34:06

Dude what the hell?
What on Earth is an .ace file?
How do I play it?
Why was this not a smaller download?
Gah?
Where are my trousers?

Ionias · Sun 06/10/2002 00:22:45

do a google search on "winace" its just a winzip clone.

Flippy_D · Sun 06/10/2002 00:26:45

I am not touching winzip. It kills my computer.

Esseb · Sun 06/10/2002 01:26:50

He didn't say to use winzip

.

Download winaze, or if you wanna do it the old way, unace.exe.

Flippy_D · Sun 06/10/2002 01:29:03

A winzip clone did it for me, thanks. And no I don't care how good the game is I'm sticking to DAP and normal download manager. Winzip crippled my PC for half a week before I got it out my system. Bitches, are microsoft.

Gonzo · Sun 06/10/2002 10:48:19

Microsoft don't make Winzip though, don't blame Bill!

Roy Lazarovich · Sun 06/10/2002 10:49:00

Here is what you need to do:

1) Download the file (or files if you want the talkie) using any download manager you want, or not using any download manager at all, however you want to download it, it doesn't matter

2) Go to the website www.winace.com, download and install their free program

3) Double click on the file and extract it using the program to whereever you want

4) Have fun

DGMacphee · Sun 06/10/2002 11:08:45

Isn't Winzip a hacker's tool?

Flippy_D · Sun 06/10/2002 12:45:06

Will it take over my current download manager though? that's what winzip did and it bugged the hell out of me because I couldn't use it.

Helm · Sun 06/10/2002 13:31:37

Flippy, you're unintentionally funny!

Flippy_D · Sun 06/10/2002 14:00:24

I'm intentionally funny....er, sometimes. I just downloaded SOL btw. Nice work.

Roy Lazarovich · Sun 06/10/2002 21:15:07

WinAce (and WinZip for that matter) is not a download manager, there is no reason for it to take control of any download manager, it's like saying the new toaster oven you bought has taken over your TV set and started showing chick flicks while your were making dinner

Flippy_D · Sun 06/10/2002 21:20:08

Funny you should mention that.....but seriously, it rendered my DAP useless and insisted on using itsself for downloading and unzipping. EVIL, EVIL, OUT DEMONS OUT!
And even then it retained some irremovable files....I had to get a friend to re-write like 7 lines of code to erase them.

Andail · Sun 06/10/2002 21:24:58

Hmm....maybe it would be a nice gesture if you gave some criticism on Roy's game instead of just babbling shit...
Like I'm doing right now

Me · Mon 07/10/2002 00:18:04

I had the game, like when it was first available, and I still can't finish it! The Walkthrough is no help. Where the hell is the machine room?

Roy Lazarovich · Mon 07/10/2002 00:53:35

*** spoiler alert ***

The machine room is underneath the motel, you need to get access to it by first draining all the water from the pool, and than blowing a hole in the pool's floor

agsking · Fri 11/10/2002 22:21:24

You could also link to the ags games page from your sig. BTW.

benbigbrain · Sun 13/10/2002 08:44:40

I think flippy's just trying for the most posts in one topic by one person competition.

Flippy_D · Sun 13/10/2002 13:30:23

Damn. He's sussed me.

Eggie · Sun 13/10/2002 17:20:21

GAH! Huge file!

and corrupt!

I've tried that but it seem to be replacing all the & characters with &am or something, and naturally it doesn't go well with the ags games page

Esseb · Tue 15/10/2002 00:13:22

edit: never mind.

Snake · Tue 15/10/2002 04:32:12

I downloaded NOTH when it was first available too. Seemed like it was going to be a kick arse game, but the unbearible slow fading pissed me off

When waiting for the first room in the mansion to fade in, I blasphemed, "FUCK THIS SHIT!!1!!1111!!!!" ...CTRL-ALT-DEL!1!!11!!!!

Roy Lazarovich · Tue 15/10/2002 22:28:35

I wanted to divide the game into several resource files but that didn't work well with the VOX file, so reluctently I had to leave it as one large file and thats where the slow downs come from

Flippy_D · Wed 16/10/2002 19:46:10

Yay, I just got powerarchiver800. Much better, so now I shall download it.

Snake · Thu 17/10/2002 03:43:15

Roy, I think it was because it was a dos version. I have the same prob with every ags game in dos that fades. If you had a windows ver., it would work

*hint-hint*

Flippy_D · Wed 23/10/2002 11:48:24

Good grief, even with powerarchiver800 the damn thing doesn't appear as an .ace file!! just shoot me now why don't you. I have a file called 37 btw

auhsor · Thu 24/10/2002 03:02:40

Winzip shouldnt cause any problems. Its never stuffed up my computer before. I use winzip for archiving, and getright for downloading, and everything works great.

Good game btw
