About Depths of Oddworld

[Munch's Master]

Now I know that it's closing, but lemme just explain: I have saved the main page on my computer as a HTML thing on the desktop, but will I need to save every other page I want as well, and if so, in what way? Please help if you can.

[Xavier]

you mean you try to download the site?
why's that?

[Munch's Master]

I tried to save it on my computer because seeing as the site will soon be offline, I don't want to permanently lose it.

Isn't there a member on here named, 'depthesofodd'?

[andy86]

Just looked this up, try a program called Web Whacker, or any similar program.

1 quick question: When the 30 day trial ends, do you lose any sites or web pages you've saved with it?

[Xavier]

just burn it on cd, the program wont be able to delete it.
anyway it would surprise me if that program deletes the whole site you have saved

[Munch's Master]

I'm not using it. I don't want to get caught up in legal stuff over it, 'cause I tried installing it but it said stuff about licence fees, copyrights etc. that put me off. I'll just copy and paste what I want into Word.

[Xavier]

try "WinHTTrack Website Copier" I used it and it's rather good.

[Munch's Master]

Nah I'll just save it onto Word, I've already put a load onto it now.

[Edible_Spam]

Use Getright... the evaluation never runs out.
Download the entire site, is legal just as long as you don't sell copies.
Programs don't delete files you downloaded with them - thats illegal!!

[Slig stopper]

The domain hasn't expired yet!!! I would quickly get as much pictures/information as you want, it would probably expire at 12 Midnight.

[Munch's Master]

I'm doing that right now, but I also think i have found a way to save the site without having to use another program, I'm not sure htough.

[Munch's Master]

I don't mean to double post (very sorry mods, it's just nobody would have noticed if it had been edited so noone would have cared.) but I feel this is an important question on this topic:

Can any of you still get on Depths of Oddworld? Please answer, as your answer will tell me if my trick has worked.

[Xavier]

the site is still there, why?

what is your "trick"?

[Slig stopper]

Works for me too!! Strange

[Munch's Master]

Hmm, strange eh? Well I'm not complaining. Oh and my trick wasn't really a trick, more of a test. I did various precautions to try and keep the site, I bookmarked it, saved the homepage, made a folder and saved the hompeage again in that, copy/pasted it into Word, saved it as a HTML doucment etc. etc.

[misty]

coolness much! thats really all I have to say... buh bye.

[Dark Oddworld]

I just went to see if its still there well.....it not.

I'm really going to miss that site....

[Xavier]

Indeed, it is off...
I guess this is the symbol of the start of a long long and quiet period

[Munch's Master]

No, it's gone! This is a real shame, it was a great site. I just wish he'd keep it up, it doesn't have to be updated, just kept on.

[big bro boogie]

Maybe he was sick of paying bills too.

You're right there, man.

[Munch's Master]

Yeah, I forgot about the bills. So now we will sadly but probably see the Odd community (and perhaps (but hopefully not) these forums) go into a slow decline. Unless OWI gives us news of the movie.

[Xavier]

what was the info you liked in it?
*taking notes for upcoming site*

[andy86]

That site looked beautiful. And it had loads of pics, like TOGG does but divided up by level area etc. I like pics. Since TOGG already hosts them any site using them could just borrow from there but maybe categorise them again.
She could spell and stuff too. I liked it.

For future reference, no offense or nothing, but you can't actually edit web pages or how other people see them by making copies of them on your harddrive. Unless your harddrive is on the internet.

[Munch's Master]

What did I liek? I liked the way it groupeed the images by species and it had a fairly big species list with images and info on each. It had some good videos that I wish I could still get. They were among the best bits of it. It also had plenty of info on the games, cheats, tips, a walkthrough link, game shots etc.

Errm... So you mean it was like OWW(OddWorld Web) and OWOSP(OddWorld Official Site Page) merged together. Good combination, in fact.

I think you can be a little patient, Xav will come with something new soon. (1 or 2 months)

[Munch's Master]

Yeah i can wait. Besides i have 2 months of free time as school is over, I have my own fic, I go away for 2 weeks on Thursday, blah blah. Basially I'm occupied enough to wait for the Oddworld Archives. Oh yeah, I forgot, i also liked the fact that the sire had lots of downloads, like wallpapers (especially), the screensavers (damn I wish I'd saved them) etc.

[Xavier]

I'm afraid my next site won't offer any pre-chewed infos...
it will all be rough material

[ObscureSkillz]

Munch's Master, could you post the pages you saved? I have a plan.
