Emerald Mine Club Levels

SoulCR · Post by **SoulCR** » Sun May 07, 2006 5:51 pm

My hard drive recently blew up and I lost EVERYTHING. I re-downloaded most of everything I had from rocks and diamonds but for some reason the emc clubl levels will not unzip.

I use winzip but it won't recognize the .tar at the end of the file. Is there a trick to it or something? I have downloaded it a couple of times now and the same error comes up. I've never seen a .tar file before, all the rest of them end with .zip

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks in advance.

Download them from the Rocks 'n' Diamonds page of my site:

There it's packed as a zip file. And they include a level fix by Yoshi348.

".tar.gz" is an archive format used on Unix; I don't know for sure if you can unpack it with WinZip (I thought so, but probably I was wrong).

What will work is "7-Zip" (http://www.7-zip.org/), which allows you to extract various archive format, and also tar and tar/gz formats.

Using the Zip archive from Martijn's site is also a good solution, of course. :-)

I will change the archive types from tar/gz to zip soon, as it's no problem to extract zip archives under Unix, but seem to be a problem to extract tar/gz archives under Windows. To make it as easiest as possible for all, I will change it all to zip as soon as possible (or with the next update).

For me, it's no problem. I always use the Total Commander in Windows (XP). But normal zip files would be better, as everyone knows them and can unpack them.

Thank god that someone more than me uses that program

I'm loving it. I also thought .tar.gz files worked in winzip. Seems like I might change the mass-download filetype for files on the archive. I'll change it to .zip instead of .tar.gz

Thanks everyone for the help. What is strange is that I downloaded the 7zip program, unzipped it, forgot where I unzipped it too and tried to unzip it again. This time the winzip came up and it extracted it fine. Talk about weird!!! I know for a fact that it wouldn't extract it yesterday....maybe my computer doesn't like Sundays. LOL
