Title: Downloading problems
Post by: Wildfire on August 25, 2001, 03:29:00 pm: Sorry for bringing this up but I have been trying to download mods from HLP.

Some go fine but for two in particular (newfx.zip and theend of score mod) I get taken to the file planet page.

From there I can't find anywhere where it says "click here to download" or somthing similar. Do you have to register with file planet becasue I think they expect you to pay.

Can somone help me out please?

Post by: Wildfire on August 26, 2001, 01:56:00 pm: I logged into gamespy but I still can't find any f-ing button that simply says download. It's all just "register" or "sign up" ****e and if I click on one of the links that look like the site the file can be downloaded from I am just taken to a gamespy homepage which is bloody useless.

If anyone knows who the mods belong to can they get them sent to the V archives or some other location?

Don't worry though - we'll sort something simple out.

Post by: Setekh on August 27, 2001, 03:41:00 am: What happens is that we can upload to the normal 3DAP servers (as opposed to FilePlanet), but if they are put on FilePlanet, they are automatically mirrored for us.
