Unable to Dnld LOD cars
Hello Beroc.
I have not been able to download your C2 cars from your site. I did download 2 of them before your Bloodmixer was made available,but since then I havent.
Heh heh ,if you noticed that your bloodmixer was downloaded the most times, that was probably me trying to get it!
Anyway im not a computer head at all, so any help from you,or any of you great car makers would be most appreciated.
If I Download the zip I get the zip but its empty,no info in it.
Thanks for your help
Peace!
Rich NYC.

Hi Wetdog2
Um im not to sure about computers as a whole, can you give me an example as what might be a pop up killer? I do have download excellerator. But just to let you know I get pop ups all the time, so I guess I dont have a killer. I can download from all the other Carmageddon sites, just not Lord or Destruction.

Thanks for your help Bro,can you fill me in on more info about what my cause a zip file to download ok, but not have the infomation in it?
Thanks a million!
Peace!

Re: Unable to Dnld LOD cars
A couple of things for notification.... LOD's downloads do not work with Popup killers (killad, my fav), will not work with netscape v4, will not work with Gozilla or download managers..... I havent tested it all on a Mac yet, you think I could do that, since I am a Macintosh Tech though...LOL
Also, it will not work if you right click and say, save file as.....

Re: Unable to Dnld LOD cars
Well, if you get popups all the time, when then you probably don't have one. I'm not aware of computers coming with popup stoppers, so that's probably not the problem. And i tried the downloads, and they worked fine. So it's something with your computer or something. I can't explain the zip being empty... or not being able to download anything. Sorry, bud.

You have any programs running that close popups automatically? If so, turn it off.

Re: Unable to Dnld LOD cars
Hi!
Well I dont know what version it was, as my friend downloaded it on my computer , and I just ignored it,till my nephew told me to get rid of it just to try a download at LOD. After I got rid of it, the downloads worked fine.
Thanks again you guys for your time and patience.

Re: Unable to Dnld LOD cars
Sometimes I use a download accelerator if I'm impatient enough, even though I have a cable modem. But still, it works just fine. Which one were you using and what was wrong?

Whenever I try to install one of Beroc's TDR cars, I get something about CMDLG32.ocx.

Re: Unable to Dnld LOD cars
Well, you shouldn't really be trying to install it. All you have to do is extract it to the right folder. Unless that's what you mean.

Re: Unable to Dnld LOD cars
It only happens with Beroc's early cars, like the General Lee, Max, and the Mack Truck. And those come with something called Carmainstall Version 1.2.

Re: Unable to Dnld LOD cars
Early cars like that tend not to have correctly written .txt files anymore. When they were new, the were fine. But a while ago a patch changed how those should be written. I bet $6 and my right nut that's what's it.

Re: Unable to Dnld LOD cars
Well, does it only happen with Beroc's cars, or does it happen with other cars? Like, say, the fellows at Planet Maim. Do they crap up your system, too?

Re: Unable to Dnld LOD cars
the General Lee, Max, and the Mack truck all have .exe isntallers.... but do have correct car.txt files. But you will still need the system.zip file from LOD. All it does is install a common dialog box .ocx, and a visual basic extension.... oh... and a virus, but don't pay any attention to that... LOL... J/K

I did download System.zip, but when Max was installing, I got the same message.

Re: Unable to Dnld LOD cars
heh... don't suppose you installed it? LOL.... it contains those files, installs them into your windows/system folder, so when the proggie looks for em, it finds em.... no error to it... I have seen other errors, but of course cannot duplicate them to fix them... and....... there are other methods to installing thos particular cars.... of course covered in the FAQ section of LOD
