    Nimloth2 - 2007-02-12

    I downloaded the complete mac version and can't open it. I'm not on a mac but a pc with windows xp. Have I downloaded the wrong one? It was a big download and has gobbled up a lot of my month's bandwidth, so I don't want to delete it just yet. The downloaded file extracts with Stuffit but doesn't produce a folder just a page-like icon with .dmg in the title. I can't open that. Please help!

      Think you want the xwin-installer.  Been awhile since I've been active here, unfortunately.  Couldn't tell you if you need that as well as the mac ver or not, but I can tell you that the mac ver + alephone doesn't fly on a PC for EMR, like it does for other maras.

      A .dmg file is a Mac-specific disk image.  I don't know of any way of opening that up on Windows XP (although there may be a utility out there somewhere).  If you manage to figure out how to open up the disk image on Windows, I could give you instructions on what files to add to make it work.  However, the easiest way to get it working on Windows is to download the xwin-installer package.  It comes with a Windows installer (please note, however, that the Windows version is still on 3b8).

      If you have bandwidth limit, I would suggest waiting awhile until the final release is out, and then downloading the full EMR Windows installer.

        Thanks for the info. I guess I'll wait for the finished version. Any idea when that will be?

          Thre's just a few more bugs I need to fix, and then one last run through the entire scenario.  I don't want to say a date, because that puts unnecessary pressure on myself.  :)

            OK, no pressure from me ;-). I'm happy to wait. I miss my Mac though *sigh*.

              The official 3.0 release for Mac has just been released, so the Windows and Linux official releases should be out soon!

      This probably isn't the right place to post this but what the hell.

      I just have to say that the wait has been worth it! EMR 3.0 rocks! I'm only half way through and am trying not to play too fast because I don't want it to end. Everything is so much better than when I first played EMR years ago, I love the fog, textures, creatures, everything! What more can I say but thankyou :-).
