Why Is Fleet Operations Not Packed In Zip?

posted on May 7th, 2005, 10:34 am

make a good running version of Fleet operations and zip it and give it a special ID like, Star trek Armade 2: Fleet operations Zip version

Than it woudlent be compaitble with anyone who doesnt have zip, so what is the point in the end if you cant play with others.

And also because, in order to install FO u need original A2 CD, this means that if u have that stripped down version u can get from kazaa or some other places it wont work. And the only reason anyone really would ask for zipped files is because they dont have an original A2 CD.
The way ths installer works now is simpler, and more compatable than zipped stuff would ever be

i think all he means (the same as me) is stick the .exe in a zip file, same installer etc, just in a .zip, i don't see why this would f*** up compatablity etc?

i didnt think that bacuse I dont see and f***ing point to it. The file is already compressed.

but the zip should cut some more time off it? it don't really bother me as i have a 2mb connection

a ziped or rared version would be larger then our current installer. the installer uses the best freeware compression we could find -> we already love the 56k users
besides that: get a download manager!

but you can leave the sound files out and pack them in another package right?

we already did that with the music. the sound files themselves are very small and that would be no use why should it be better to download 10 seperate files and give you extra work?

Get a download manager! ^_^
(i think i will put that line at the end of every post in this topic)

lol, get a download manager... better : get a mac!
but can't they make a installer wich you don't need the CD?

surley that would make the download time even longer

i think its fine the way it is :shuriken:

i don't think so becouse you don't need to insert the CD then..
