Yeah, when I tried to unzip the file using win self-extractor a message came up saying 'the data is either invalid or corrupted!'
Do you know whats wrong?:(

Mac the Janitor 06-19-2002 06:55 PM

No, actually, I don't know what's up with this. I think it might be that I made it on a mac but then made it into a zip; maybe it had to be made on a windows.:( :( :(

Are you going to fix the zip problem, cause' I really want to play this game. Mabey if you post it again it will work... it's worth a shot.

P.S. Do you have any updates for us?

tybie_odd 06-20-2002 10:03 PM

This game sounds fun! I can't wait.

What program did you make it with? How long did it take you? and where did you get the program? I wanna make a game too! :)

Mac the Janitor 06-20-2002 10:06 PM

Oh yeah! I forgot to ask! Does anyone have a program that will convert files from mac to make them windows readable? I'll post it again, but I don't think there will be much change. :(

PS: Can anyone read .tgz files or .sit files? I can try those too.

EDIT: Hey tybie_odd! I'm glad you asked. I used the program named Cocoa DR3. It is the very old version of Stagecast; I used Cocoa instead because it was free. ;) You can find Stagecast at http://www.stagecast.com I think there is a page devoted to Cocoa somewhere at http://www.kidsdomain.com It's very easy to use!

oddling 06-21-2002 12:25 PM

Sal the Mudokon 06-21-2002 07:38 PM

I downloaded the first one, didnt work, downloaded the second one, didnt work, but told me to download it again. I did, and it STILL didnt work... I think I'm going to cry...:(

Mac the Janitor 06-21-2002 08:45 PM

I'm terribly sorry, guys. Hey-I just got an idea! I'll post it as an online game! Maybe that will work!
Please tell me if I should...

Xavier 06-22-2002 11:01 AM

I want to play so do what's neccery :D
I think it's a good Idee

blood 06-22-2002 11:43 AM

I have been trying to confuse the demo in to thinking it has to use a different aplication to run it. I am nearly there so hang on and I might get it to work. Don't keep your hopes up though!
So far I have got SOME info out of it. :)

Mac the Janitor 06-22-2002 03:33 PM

Cool! What have you gotten out of it so far, blood? Please tell me if it works.

blood 06-23-2002 02:32 PM

Sorry Mac, I only got some info on notepad but it needs to be decoded and I don't have a decoder. At the moment all there is are rectangles, poorley rendered but it will improve once I've worked it out.
:(

Kaimana 06-26-2002 08:51 PM

I hope it comes out just as odd as any Oddworld Game:)

Hey guys, I'm back!

Sorry I haven't posted for the past few days, I've been in California since Sunday. I got back at midnight last night, and I was dog tired; I could barely type! Anyways, I'm back, and I will be putting RUPTURE FARMS: SCRUB ESCAPE on sligpatrol.s5.com sometime soon. (It's not on there yet; I'll tell you when it is, though)

Kaimana 06-27-2002 02:36 PM

Well, the Scrub Escape level is finished and has been for quite a while; unfortunately, I just figured out that only Macintosh users can get the Cocoa plugin and play it online. But a while back, Apple sold Cocoa to a new company. They improved it and renamed it Stagecast Creator. In Stagecast Creator, you can convert old Cocoa files into Stagecast files. Also, PC users can play Stagecast games online. I plan to buy Stagecast, convert Slig Patrol, export it to an online game file, and put it online, so everyone can play it. Since Stagecast has many more amazing and cool capabilities than Cocoa, I will make many, many improvements to Slig Patrol, and make it much more enjoyable! :)

Please be patient. Remember the last thing I said?

I said that I will tell you when it is online. I am still working on it. Just because I am not replying to this anymore doesn't mean that I abandoned Slig Patrol. I am still working hard to put it online. Again, please be patient!

On a lighter note, I have worked on the website, sligpatrol.s5.com. I have the ranks and characters pages up, but I am still hunting down some pictures for it. I will be adding new pages soon that focus on the items and hazards of the game. Hope you guys like it! :)

blood 07-14-2002 12:34 PM

Thanks Mac. CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:fuzgrin: :fuzgrin: :fuzgrin:

Mac the Janitor 07-15-2002 05:03 PM

No, thank you. If you hadn't asked, then I probably wouldn't have posted my plans here, and everyone would think that I'm a big stinkin' liar and made the whole thing up.

Hey, here's a list of the things that I can do to upgrade Slig Patrol once I have Stagecast. Please tell me what I should and shouldn't do.

1)Backgrounds(this would take a long time)
2)Slig feelings
3)No multiple screens; it's just one big screen: "camera" follows you(this would save a lot of time)
4)Every single Vendo weapon (so even sligs can use lil hackers and Snuzis)
5)Power-up Vendos(I'm not sure about this one)
6)Health (bird style)
7)Gut splatters (AO style)
8)Mudarchers and Tomahawkers
9)Possessed creatures
10)Slurgs and Fleeches

Once again, please tell me what you think of these ideas, and wheter or not I should put them in Slig Patrol.

scrabinator 07-15-2002 10:36 PM

Mac you should do what you want. I would like all these things except for number 5, the power-up vendos. But you should do whatever you like. If you put the power-up vendos in I'll still like the game.:D ;)

Edo 07-16-2002 04:25 AM

Well done, Mac. I have an iMac. Is the game online in cocoa? If not that's fine, I have a pc too.

Mac the Janitor 07-16-2002 03:00 PM

Really? Wow, I thought everyone here had a PC!

Well, the company that hosts sligpatrol.s5.com won't let anyone play it online, it just says "Cocoa Error" no matter what you do. I tried going to customer service and telling them the code they need to put in for the game to work, but sadly, the "send" button didn't work. So, frankly, I'm quite pissed.

You might still be able to play it via the .zip file that I attatched a few posts back. Try it, and then please tell me if it works. Thanks!:)
