Title: DBL Map Pack 2.55 Complete. Post by: [:] Narauko on January 20, 2005, 01:53:49 am Hey guys i know its been ages since u released it, but i recently had to reinstall Ghost Recon and didn't use the complete download last time. Anyway...My question is when i download the DBL Map Pack 2.55 Complete it downloads fine but when i unstuff it my comp doesn't recognise it as an installer and install it says there is no default application for this and i should choose one, it says application when i check info.

Narauko. Title: Re: DBL Map Pack 2.55 Complete. Post by: Subucni on April 21, 2005, 03:04:51 am I tried opening from expander but that didn't work either. Is there anywhere I can download an unzipped version?

please read http://www.damnr6.com/yabbse/index.php?topic=7977.0 and try it out. It helped everyone so far, who had problems. Bye, Mauti Title: Re: DBL Map Pack 2.55 Complete. Post by: Sucubni incubuS on April 22, 2005, 04:47:48 am I've been there. It said to download in OSX which is where I was already. It also said to drag'n'drop on expander but that doesn't work either.
No troubles downloading but the resulting file is unusable. Any ideas (or uncomressed sources)? Thomas Title: Re: DBL Map Pack 2.55 Complete. Post by: *DAMN Mauti on April 22, 2005, 08:36:42 am Well please check the filesize and post it here, may your download was interrupted. Further make sure that the *DBL 2.55 complete file has suffix .zip and not .sit. What does Expander say!?
Once the file has been unstuffed you have to double click the file - it's an installer. Bye, Mauti Title: Re: DBL Map Pack 2.55 Complete. Post by: Subucni on April 22, 2005, 03:24:37 pm The file info is below. I can download it with no problems with IE or Safari and Expander has no problem expanding it.
(http://www.tickle.it/Darkness/Miscimages/Two.jpg) The __MACOSX folder is empty (just a way of leaving a note maybe?) and if I doubleclick on the document this happens: (http://www.tickle.it/Darkness/Miscimages/One.jpg) Thanks for all your help so far Mauti. I appreciate it. Thomas Title: Re: DBL Map Pack 2.55 Complete. Post by: :MoD:Shade on April 22, 2005, 05:03:26 pm I had that problem once in fact my post is still up at the top there. I was using Firefox and it was doing something to the download so that it wouldn't work but I switched web browsers and it was fine. I don't know if that's the browsers fault or what.
Title: Re: DBL Map Pack 2.55 Complete. Post by: BFG on April 22, 2005, 06:08:27 pm Subucni - the .zip is missing of the file if you add it on (so that the file is called *DBL Map Pack 2.55 Complete.zip ) then your comp will recognise the file and Stuffit will open it... - im guessing you have allready tried clicking on "choose application" browsing to Stuffit and trying to open it that way?
Title: Re: DBL Map Pack 2.55 Complete. Post by: Subucni on April 24, 2005, 02:40:40 pm Stuffit doesn't recognise the document as a stuffed file whether I put .zip on it or not.
I don't think there is anything else I can do at this point. I still think the best way is to find someone who can give me the uncompressed files or find another download site that maybe has files that I can get to work. Any more ideas guys? Thomas - Can't make up my mind whether that Tennessee quote is as funny as it is scary! - Title: Re: DBL Map Pack 2.55 Complete. Post by: BFG on April 24, 2005, 03:48:52 pm Hmm dosn't sound like your having any luck with this!
Just a last question to see if we can solve it: When you click to "choose application" to try and unstuff the file what error does stuffit throw at you? ps. hehe its a Tough call... but i think scary wins it ;) Title: Re: DBL Map Pack 2.55 Complete. Post by: Subucni on May 05, 2005, 04:22:29 am I reread some of the threads where the guys had solved the problem and it occurred to me that it is probably a system software problem. I can run this map pack in Mac OS 10.2.8, right?
The reason I ask is that I finally got a slightly different result by booting up in OS 9, downloading and unstuffing the downloaded file. The difference was that there is now a copy of the mappack file in the __MACOSX folder. It doesn't work either but at least it's there! When I copied the unstuffed folders and files to my desktop computer ( OS X.2.8 ) the mappack inside the __MACOSX folder had dissappeared again. I'm guessing this is a permissions problem?! I still think I would be better off downloading this without compression. Do any of you have this on an ftp site? I have never used emoticons but this one seemed so appropriate: ::wall:: Thomas Mauti have you seen/played Toyspring's Bike Or Die for PalmOS? Title: Re: DBL Map Pack 2.55 Complete. Post by: Subucni on May 23, 2005, 07:48:54 pm I finally solved this by downloading to another machine. I think the problem lies in the combination stuffit + OS X.2.8.
Be very afraid - now I have the dbl's I am coming after you all! So what if you have a few years experience to beat me with - I'll bite your ankles as you walk over my body! See you in my sites, T Title: Re: DBL Map Pack 2.55 Complete. Post by: z][t-Primary on July 24, 2005, 03:47:17 pm yeah i had this problem too, and i had to unstuff it using the Finder expander thingie on my mom's PB, which had OS10.3 as opposed to my 10.2. (10.2 uses Stuffit)
Title: DBL Final Post by: Subucni on October 11, 2005, 07:03:19 pm Well, I hadn't solved it after all! I have since switched to 10.4 and my G4 tower still cannot unpack these files - I just had the exact same problem on downloading the DBL Final file.
Luckily my little G3 iBook manages it no problem and then passes it to it's big brother. Still a mystery... Title: Re: DBL Map Pack 2.55 Complete. Post by: BFG on October 11, 2005, 07:28:57 pm Subucni, are you using the latest version of Stuffit? everyone im aware of has solved it by making sure they are using the most uptodate version to expand the file.
