That's why I said still up. The page linked to doesn't have a download link for them, just for a table cleaner program. And an avi to gif converter and/or bitstrip converter would be nice anyways. (And I'm not entirely sure if he did all the anis 'cause it was said to forget about some of the extra ones.)

[Stealth]

awww crap, i just noticed that now too

and i still needed to download the Bastion GIFs  

oh well, no point me doing them until i get the Galatea released, which i'm *still* working on

ALL i need is to find out how to link to files, i suspect it's javascript, but i dunno

[Galemp]

Isn't there a file:\\ command you can use?

[EdrickV]

The old local file protocol went: file:/// as in file:///C:\windows. Though some things used | instead of the :.

[Stealth]

the "file:\\" protocol was the first thing i tried (and i tried many variations of it too lol) but the best i could get it to do is for example if i link it to C:\windows\system\calculator.exe for example (yes, i know that is not where the Windows calculator is, but i'm doing it for an example)

when you click on the button, instead of popping up a calculator, it pops up a download window asking if the user would like to download the calculator.

The best i can do right now (which i may just have to go with!) is getting the user to install a small (relatively) plugin, which will allow me to override this 'download' thing.

That's why I said still up. The page linked to doesn't have a download link for them, just for a table cleaner program.

The page is supposed to be "temporary"; i.e. they're not up there forever.  I don't want to occupy space with something people are only going to download once.

Stealth, what do you mean you haven't downloaded the Bastion GIFs yet? I took them off because I thought you had them.  Now I'll have to reupload them.

CoffeeCup makes an excellent GIF converter program; that's what I've been using.  Problem is, it won't do AVI's that are too big, so I've been having to piece it together back and forth with Illustrator.  I converted all the ANIs from both halls for both Freespaces - I didn't forget the misc. ones.

The GIFs are now back up at (copy & paste)
http://www.geocities.com/ipw47/bastion_gifs.zip
but they'll only be up for a day - download them quick before I take them off again.  If you don't like this, yell at Shrike for me.  He was supposed to give me moderator privileges for the T-V war forum (and attachment permissions along with it) a week ago, and he hasn't done it yet.

These will be up forever, and ever, and ever.

Ooboy.  Thanks, Hades.  I'll delete the Geocities file.

no, i yell at Shrike for me  just kidding

actually i'm still waiting for my FTP access, but i guess he's handled (handling) that, so it's just a matter of time till i get word from Gamespy... i guess lol

i still can't figure out the file linking thing... i'm going to speak to a Windows professional tomorrow afternoon, see if he can help me

FYI, that Zip file appears to be damaged. WinZip complains when I open the file in it. (It seems to have extracted all the files, but some of the files I've checked, misc files 1 and 4, seem to have bad frames in them that may be due to the zip problems.) In any event, BitStrip can't handle the file I wanted to convert (that golfcart one) any better then the other programs so I guess I will have to try and convert it in sections from frames extracted from the original files, since I can't find any other bitmap strip makers then the two I have.

awww c'mon Hades!  Fix the ZIP file

[Solatar]

Not my .zip. I downloaded EXACTLY what Goober5000 gave out. Then uploaded it.

[Stealth]

ahhh ok.  Goober? it's your fault!

Hades, check the Terran-Vasudan War Project forum

[Goober5000]

Ehh, worked fine when I uploaded it.  Must've been a bad download.

You don't need it right now anyway, so I'll just FTP it when I get access to the T-V war site.

[Stealth]

definately don't need it now,.... but be prepared to get the final release of the Flash Mainhall later today.

[Anaz]

[:thepimp:] you know, that when my mod database goes up, that this can be put into it? [/:thepimp:]

[Stealth]

no it won't...

this is a seperate project, and i'm heading it, and me, Goober, and Hades don't want it on!  so there!

EDIT:  thanks for asking though

[Goober5000]

Now waitaminnit - that sounds like it would be okay.  He's just offering yet another site to host the FSDesktop download on - and that seems fine enough, as long as the proper people are credited.

[Stealth]

we don't need an alternate download location.

it will be hosted on HLP (Gamespy's servers), as well as mine, (fiber-optic connection)... we don't need more than one primary and one mirror site.

we'll think about it though... but i doubt we'll need much publicity... it's not going to be that popular

nonetheless... Goober and Hades, you guys make the final decision as to have it listed in Analazon's list or not

[Stealth]

oh wait a minute... sorry if i came out as rude Analazon... your last post, (with the 'pimp' smilie in it) i thought you were TELLING us you were going to host it on your list thing, i didn't realize you were asking permission to.

Sorry about that... i just didn't want you telling us what to do, i didn't read it correctly
