i downloaded it (which was wierd in itself, it was downloading super slow, then was finished in two seconds. :confused:) and when i double click it, it says invalid file type...... /what?
-
I think you need 7zip.
-
WinRAR can open 7zip files.
-
He still needs 7Zip. It is a lot better than WinRAR or WinZIP and is open source.

Just sounds like you should try to Download it again. It happened to me, too :)
-
what did you use to open it?
-
Nothing, it was a launcher of some sort. It was INFR1, are you refering to something else...maybe INFA?
-
my problem says "file contains invalid data", not "invalid file type" whoops. srry
-
Download it again?!?
-
sure
-
downloaded it again, it still didn't work, its the Cnet download
-
Cnet is so slow, it probably timed out. Gamespot has decent speeds, though.
-
id ont have a gamespot account either. cant someone just give it to me :wtf:
-
Yeah thats definately a failed download. Not sure why it happens though. Try deleting the file you downloaded and clearing your temporary data in windows and internet cache in whatever browser you were using. Then give it another go. But yeah if that keeps happening find another download mirror.
-
Create an account. I think that it would be really beneficial to have downloads.hard-light.net restored.
-
definitly, depending on how fast it is though

So do we. Not going to happen, though.
-
Bandwith?
-
I believe that it was broken when HLP3.0 was introduced.
-
can someone let me borrow their account the they can change their pass after i get it? im pretty sure they monitor what you get, you can check soon as im done to make sure i only got inferno, and if i got something else im obliged to give you my address so you can come kill me :D
-
It's easy enough to create an account.
-
my parents dont like me making accounts for sites, thats the problem. too much information has to be put in. im in agreement with them. :blah:
-
Tell you what, I'll email it to you. You have 7-Zip?
-
Tell you what, I'll email it to you. You have 7-Zip?
Don't count on it. This... 'thing', seems to protest highly against 7-Zip. Some Winzip fanatic, I guess.
-
i cant access my email- dad changed it without me and forgot password, but now he wont tell me cuz hes mad because he told me it and told me to memorize it. and i DO have 7zip.
-
and i DO have 7zip.
Oh. Finally, some progress. I, among many others, told you it's a good idea to get it. Keep it up.
-
Well how do you want me to send it to you?
-
I need a new email anyways, so my mom said i could make a Juno account. cole, lemme PM my email
-
I'm attaching the file now. I love unlimited attachment size! GMail rocks! :p
-
EDIT: GMail Won't work, How can I make a multi-part archive in 7Zip, it won't let me.
EDIT2: How else can I send it to you. No file hosting sites allow 199 Mb files. If someone could tell me How can I make a multi-part archive in 7Zip
it would help me and Titan.
-
:wtf: You're quoting the post you're writing? Ok, whatever...
But, to business. If you select all the desired files, right-click and select 7-Zip -> Add to archive, you should have a multi-part archive option in the lower right corner in the window. I'll check that it is there once I get home.
Edit: Ok, checked. Here's the manual.
1. Select the desired file(s) and/or folder(s).
2. Right-click and select 7-Zip -> Add to archive.
3. On the lower right you'll see the text 'Split to volumes, bytes:' and a drop menu. Sleect the desired volume from the drop menu or type it yourself (note that the volume is measured in bytes, not kb or mb, bytes).
Click Ok.
Result: You'll have the desired file(s) and/or folder(s) in neat little packages of the desired size. The files are named according to your selected options, for example as yaddayaddayadda.7z.001 ... yaddayaddayadda.7z.009 or yaddayaddayadda.zip.001 ... yaddayaddayadda.zip.009. They'll unpack themselves, if you have them all in the same folder, where you right click the file ending in .001 and select Extract. Funky.
-
woohoo. eyecandy!
-
I meant that that wasn't working for me.
-
What have you been doing, then? I tested it by creating floppy-sized packages from fso_3_6_10_20071022 and the accompanying files and it worked like a charm.
Edit: Were we talking about INFR1? If so, I'm downloading it now and might be able to upload it to my Useful stuff site. Separately or as a set.
-
new email doesn't work either. my dad locked all incoming mail and didn't tell me the password. and hes never around anymore, barely have seen him in 2 weeks, luckily, on the phone, he said theres only 1 more week of this.

I have inf_release1.exe, infr1scpv10.exe, and Inferno_R1_Update.7z. I drag around them all and right click>7Zip>Add to archive. I click multipart and select 75000000 (75 Mb) and it says...Wait a sec :wtf:
Wait. I tried it now and it's working. Strange... :drevil:
-
too bad my emails busted
-
I can upload it now. Can't do it for two days, I'm off to get my Duke of Edinburgh award, but will on Sunday or Monday.
-
your what?
-
His Duke of Edinburgh award?

His what?

As Promised...INFERNO R1!!!1!!1!111!1!1ONEONEONEELEVENELEVENTY!!!!!!!11!11
This is a multi-part archive, download all three, then open 7Zip, then open them with File>Open.
Part #1: http://rapidshare.com/files/66326279/Desktop.7z.001.html
Part #2: http://rapidshare.com/files/66821924/Desktop.7z.002.html
Part #3: http://rapidshare.com/files/66824896/Desktop.7z.003.html
-
Actually, it'll also work if you download them all into the same directory, then right-click the Desktop.7z.001 and select the extraction option you desire. Trust me. It'll find those other files and use them properly.

I'll upload the rest soon. RapidShare hates me right now.
Rapidshare? Many Internet connections don't like it. I can't DL stuff from there, for example.
I already have Inferno(obviously!)but there might be someone with my same kind of connection interested on it ;)

uhhhhh.........

Take "Desktop.7z.001", "Desktop.7z.002" and "Desktop.7z.003" and put them in the same folder. Right click on "Desktop.7z.001" and click 7Zip>Open Archive.
-
oh, ok.

... or "Extract here", the easy solution.

WHOOPEE!! cant wait. but i finally got battlegrounds 2 now. ill dowload these to my laptop, while i play battlefront 2 on the good family comp. :drevil:
btw- BFII is AWESOME
-
NOOOOOOOOOOOO! the mem stick im using only has 123 megabites, and inferno_R1.exe is 135! DOH!
-
I had the exact same problem, actually...
-
lol. i only have 7z on my own comp, but thats an old internet only laptop, i have FS on the family comp....
-

Try compressing it to a .7z file, either with the Full setting or the Ultra setting. That oughta do it.
-
family comp doesn't have 7z. i installed it myself (shhh!) on my own, but they'd notice when they right-click stuff and see 7zip right next to winzip
-
Then I'll repeat my advice, with the exeption that you replace .7z with zip. That might be enough and you can open it with Winzip and no one will ever know.
-
:wtf: 7-zip by default doesn't install the 7-zip menu or associate with files.. so just open 7-zip, find the files you want inside 7-zip, select them, and hit the "Add" button. If you want uber compression, set the options as follows:
Archive format: 7z
Compression level: Ultra
Compression method: LZMA
Dictionary size: 128 MB
Word size: 273
Create Solid Archive: On
-
how about winzip? oh wait- the trial version on my laptop has expired. :hopping: wierd part is, my family comp is trial too, but IT has had winzip for years, and it still works.
-
Why are your parents so scared of any software that isn't spoon-fed to them?
-
They should be more afraid of the software that is spoon-fed to them... IIRC, if Windows Vista doesn't get to phone home within 3 days, it goes to reduced functionality mode. Or is that only if it thinks a hardware change was made? Anyways, and there's Norton.... miserable piece of junk (I'm being polite). McAffee isn't far behind. Windows is full of holes, there's like a hundred different patches for XP now, and I'm sure Vista is quickly catching up.
Although, they are correct in being inherently suspicious of things they don't understand. If you aren't, you're leaving yourself wide open for crap like fake Anti-Virus or Anti-Spam ads (eg, "Your computer may be infected!!!11 Scan for free now!" - when the product is itself a Spyware). But, if you know a bit of what you're doing, you can get along quite well. Pretty much, advise from here is good. Just don't do anything an0n tells you. :lol:

cole, i love LIKE ( :D ) you for putting in some time towards helping me, but this it were i draw the line. EAT PHOTON BEAM CANNONS!! :beamz: :beamz: :beamz:
(the rest of you bedda' watch out, theres more were that came from!!!! IM TIRED OF THIS, YOU HEAR ME?!?!??! TIRED!!!!!!!! )
-
Sorry, but it just seems like they are super-strict. (please don't eat me :shaking:)
-
My guess is that they are (I'm putting this as politely as I can) not the most computer-savvy.
Or even if they are, it still makes sense. Think about it: they don't know much about us (unsure of what Titan has told them), and they see us as a potential threat. We know that none of the programs or files traded around here will do any kind of major damage, but they don't know that. They may think that one of us HLPer's would decide to hack their computer for fun or something.
Besides, I know I probably wouldn't trust a 12 year old kid (that is Titan's age, yes?) to download just anything to my computer. My parents wouldn't allow it till I was at least 16!
-
I figured that that was the problem, my friends parents are the same. My parents let me download whatever I want, because they know that I am responsible. I actually had to stop my mom from using LimeWire because of virus issues.
-
1) Use Frostwire
2) Virus scan everything you download that isn't a .mp3 or movie file. :p EDIT: Ah, heck, just virus scan everything. XD
-
even though my dad's job is to work with computers, he doesn't really like talking about them at home, and he can be a little..... emotional sometimes. and if i ask mom, she just says "ask dad, im busy" even if shes just standing there, doing nothing.
