(I have download a .img file with Hotline Client in PC and it doesn't save resource fork , or is there a patch so it would save resource fork to another file ?) http://www.hot.ee/macgames/
Captain Z Mobile Ops Commander USA 637 Posts	Posted - 19 Nov 2002 : 08:18:03 Warning: All .img files are not created equally. There are two different types of .img files. The first type is more common on the web, and that is Apple DiskCopy images. To open them, you need DiscCopy (any version) or Mac OS X. The other type is much more prevelent in the Hotline Community, which utilizes Aladain ShrinkWrap image format. If you get an error opening a .img file using DiscCopy, try using Stuffit Expander, and it should work. ------------------ Captain Z - Mobile Operations Commander 68K Macintosh Liberation Army 23 68K Macs Liberated Visit Captain Z's Starbase of EV Stuff Edited by - Captain Z on 19 Nov 2002 08:18:40

Pansy General Starting Member USA 14 Posts	Posted - 19 Nov 2002 : 11:54:05 Thanks for the help, guys, BUT..when I try to run it [Disk Copy 6.3.3] or drag and drop something on to it, an error about not being able to update the disk image driver comes up. Signatures suck

~Coxy Leader, Tactical Ops Unit Australia 2822 Posts	Posted - 19 Nov 2002 : 19:25:27 Maybe you missed the good Captain's post... try Stuffit Expander, particularly if they're from a Hotline server. ~Coxy - Leader, Tactical Operations Unit Mayor of NuBus City v3.0
Pansy General Starting Member USA 14 Posts	Posted - 19 Nov 2002 : 20:02:53 Oh no, I am already aware of Stuffit's ability to open most of them. Sorry i forgot to mention this. But what is this nonsense about updating disk drivers? Signatures suck
candyPunk Full Member USA 856 Posts	Posted - 20 Nov 2002 : 15:38:00 I've had many a corrupted image in my time, at least it had always seemed that way. There have been downloads that took hours and hours that just wouldn't open, no matter what app I used. Anyone share my frustrating experiences? { candyPunk } { Captain of Observation, 68k MLA } { 68k Macs liberated: 4} { My baby: Q660av }

kybernaut Starting Member 2 Posts	Posted - 02 Dec 2002 : 17:02:02 Classic OS is very picky when it comes to *.img files with damaged or lost resource fork. The following usually worked for me: 1) Open the files on on a computer running Mac OS X 2) Don't try to mount the files but burn them right away on a cd using Toast 4.x. This even works on Basilisk (68k Emulator). greetz kybernaut
Pansy General Starting Member USA 14 Posts	Posted - 18 Jan 2003 : 16:48:53 Now, how would I go about burning directly from Basilisk? that would be a nice thing to do! Signatures suck
