I don't think I understand completely. What are you trying to download and what are you using to open it with?

what are the file extensions? you need the correct program to open up and view the file, I suggest you take some lessons on how to use a computer first before attemping game programming

now now Bossk, about 2 years ago i was the same way

i would download tracks for mcm2, and try to use them by telling the zip file to open with mcm2.exe

of course it didnt work, and i somehow had the smarts to look on google about .zip files (im suprised i even knew what a file extension was back then) but i got it all figured out :D

That went sour pretty quickly.

Anyway. . .

Did you figure out the problem? If you are refering to http://www.gametutorials.com, then as micepick said, you need a program for opening zip files. Once unzipped, you will get a directory, and in the directory is some code, documentation, and other junk, all of which should be readable in notepad.
Chess is played by three people. Two people play the game; the third provides moral support for the pawns. The object of the game is to kill your opponent by flinging captured pieces at his head. Since the only piece that can be killed is a pawn, the two armies agree to meet in a pawn-infested area (or even a pawn shop) and kill as many pawns as possible in the crossfire. If the game goes on for an hour, one player may legally attempt to gouge out the other

masterdev, maybe you should study the way PCs work today before embarking on a voyage of learning and discovery into the land of game development...

That was uncalled for. Just because you think someone is being a moron doesn''t mean you have to be too.

Same goes for you. You can use computer (even if you are using AOL), I''m sure that you can use a little common sense too.


masterdev: Go to Folder Options->File Types and associate the file type you are trying to read with the application it was made for. For instance .doc files should be opened with something like WordPad or MS Word, .zip files should should be opened with something like WinZip.

I can''t see anything more productive happening in this thread, as smart_idiot put it, this thread is quite sour. If you are still having trouble masterdev try posting a *clear* and *concise* question, using a descriptive title, and without resorting to ALL CAPS or whiiiiiining.
