:wall: When you try to unzip.."File skipped, unknown compresson method."
strange...

i've tested the archive several times with winrar and winzip before uploading it...
i did not encounter any problems!

Same here. I can unzip with no problems, with both Winrar and Winzip. Make sure you have a recent or the latest winrar or winzip. Really old versions will have problems sometimes with uncompressing files made with the later releases. My old Pentium 2 box has winrar 2.90 and occasionally it won't open some files, but on any of my boxes with winrar 3.30 or later, it'll uncompress them fine.

I liked the first one alot more.

It's an okay game, not too hard...

I used winzip, Ultimate Zip and WinRar, all three failed-

"Failed to extract filename.ext!" on almost ALL of the files.

can you fix this? is it corrupt or sumthin?

what OS and what version of winrar do you have? Go to http://www.rarsoft.com/download.htm and get the latest version there. Winrar 3.42 will open this fine.

Definitely something is odd with this file though if a number of people are having issues. I just tested opening it on win2k, win98 and linux machine and it opened fine. However, when using a very old winzip, I did run into errors. So be sure to get the latest version.

I think you're right there, gildedgirth. I had no problems opening the file using the latest winzip with XP.

Is there a version of this aimed at chicks, where you have to seduce lithe young Ewan McGregor lookalikes?

Heheheh...let me know if there is ;)

also got problems to decompress the file here. with winrar 3.00 and powerarchiver (winzip freeware) v6.00.5
both worked well with numerous files for years
old linux' unzip worked fine.

only the 2 .BAT and the directory uncompress fine.

using linux tool "zipinfo -v":
-it shows that these 3 items use:
"compression method: none" (too small files perhaps?)

-all other file have:
"compression method: deflated (enhanced-64k)"
"compression sub-type (deflation): normal"

a classic zip file that I have hanging around (presumably winzip-compressed) show:
"compression method: deflated"
"compression sub-type (deflation): maximum"

From what I see, you are using some special compression scheme (enhanced-64) that only some of the unarchivers understands.
The solution may be for all of us to upgrade to latest Winzip. Or to use the linux unzip tool :).

My opinion is that you should recompress the file according to standards. It seems to be some weird configuration option in your Zip archiver (winzip?).

Hope it helps.

Try TUGZip.
