ODDWORLD Internet Explorer! Download Now!

***Cloverfield*** · #1 12-20-2001, 03:06 PM

After much delay, my "launch project" is now online (OK, so it's an after launch project now).

You can now download a customized Interent Explorer with an Oddworld theme.

If you are an Oddworld fan this is for you!

One of the main advantages to this over the Hotbar's that I have is that you don't have to have the advertising bar. Secondly the background image is non-obtrusive which is good if you have to share your brower with others who may not be fans of Oddworld.

- Info Page
- Download Page (includes instructions)
- Frequently Asked Questions

I have also included in the browser links to many Oddworld fansites, Xbox sites and Gaming sites, so people can easily access the information they need.

I put a lot of work into this one and obtained the correct permissions allowing me to do so. I hope that people will enjoy this version of Internet Explorer! Plus it's the perfect opportunity to upgrade if you haven't already done so (you can still install it if you already have IE6 too).

I never knew this would be the luanch project, but it looks cool

***Xavier*** · #3 12-20-2001, 03:59 PM

Oddsville · #4 12-20-2001, 04:01 PM

Wow, Abe Babe this is great. Good Job!

***Xavier*** · #5 12-20-2001, 04:18 PM

a Little question... Is Oddworld News in the links
(sorry I can't instal it, but I have doawnload it)

***Alcar*** · #6 12-20-2001, 04:59 PM

Well i've downloaded all 11Mb onto my computer, finally after 1 hour it has been downloaded.

But i spent the hour playing AE so it was okay, now its just installing it onto my computer so i will probably have to restart.

By the way Abe Babe i never imagined it would be this that was the launch project, great job!

***Alcar*** · #7 12-20-2001, 05:26 PM

Oh it looks beautiful Abe Babe, how did you do it.

Also thanks for placing Oddworld Universe in the Fansites links.

You must of spent alot of time on this.

And it was well worth the wait.

Also Xavier, yes Oddworld News is included in the fansite links

hey abe babe, this looks very good! congrats on this 'little' after launch project..

Lampion · #10 12-21-2001, 04:12 AM

It's Fantastic, Abe Babe, congratulations! This project should make you fan of the month again, for at least another two months!

***Alcar*** · #11 12-21-2001, 04:18 AM

I can happily say that i was the first one to download it!

*trys not to brag too much*

Again Abe Babe in an instant OWI posted news about it. It is really great, by the way when i place my mouse over the link to my site, it says: Oddworld Universe wishes you a merry christmas, was that you.

Cause if it was then people actually go to my site! oh my god, proof at last!!!!!!

*can't be bothered to try not to brag too much*

Now i have to wait until my family finds out i downloaded 11Mb, hope they don't flame me for it

***Cloverfield*** · #12 12-21-2001, 06:26 AM

Thank you guys for the feedback. I really appreciate it.

Xavier... sorry Internet Explorer 6 won't run on Windows 95. I have added a System Requirements to the info and download pages so that people will know about this.

I tried to put all the good fan sites in (there are a couple of non-English sites in there too, including Oddworld News), I have probably missed some, so if so, people can email me for inclusion in a later release.

The downloading time can be a while if you are on dial up or if you don't have that version of IE previously installed. If you are on cable/DSL it flies through though. That's why I set the minimum as the standard download, so you don't have to download lots of other stuff if you don't want to.

Abe Babe...

***Alcar*** · #13 12-21-2001, 09:36 AM

Yeah it took over an hour for me to download it, lucky everyone at my house was asleep.

But i loaded up an unfinished save file and finished AE again in that time.

Damn...Modem........Lucky...Cable

Oops got to stop thinking to myself again

***Xavier*** · #14 12-21-2001, 09:37 AM

I got the cable My mother will instal it maybe this week or the next week! yeah !

***Alcar*** · #15 12-21-2001, 09:43 AM

Then your extrememly lucky, i have only had the internet from the beginning of this year.

My parents like always were resistant to it.

Hey anyway Xavier, seeing as your online, go to oddchat, or do you have ICQ, MSN or AIM

Gluk Schmuck · #16 12-21-2001, 09:43 AM

Hey, this is nice...
Mesa like a lot!

But how do you move the toolbars around?

***Alcar*** · #17 12-21-2001, 09:45 AM

To move the toolbars around you need to right-click any where on the top part where the nice picture of an oddworld scene is.

Then click on the thing that says: Lock Toolbars, now you have the freedom to move toolbars around.

Do any of you got Oddchat, MSN, ICQ, AIM

***Xavier*** · #18 12-21-2001, 09:46 AM

Thankee...but Abe still shows in the top-right when the top toolbar is the standard buttons!!!

***Alcar*** · #20 12-21-2001, 10:01 AM

Oh yeah, i tried to get Munch to pop up as well, but i failed.

I'll try some more

***Alcar*** · #21 12-21-2001, 10:04 AM

Ok worked it out,

1-enable urself to move the toolbars
2-Drag every toolbar up into the very top toolbar
3-now when you load a page there is munch

But i prefer the abe, its better set out, hope this helps

It's great to hear that it also helped someone get their internet working.

Everyone's feedback is much appreciated!
