Fake Plastic Planet

Post by **Programmer** » Fri 30 Mar, 2007 9:50 am

This is a message for whoever is sharing this deck on the peer-to-peer exchange (please check whether it could be you!)...

This is one of the decks whose zip file is corrupted. As discussed in previous threads, because of a bug in the early versions of the P2P utility some people, without realising it, are sharing corrupted zip files that no-one will be able to open.

If this is one of your shared decks please follow the instructions given in the previous threads to fix up the problem, for this and any other decks you might be sharing.

Thanks!

Yep, I support this one, noticed there's several decks around behaving this way. Do a simple test: enter your Orphalese directory, look the For Sharing folder and try to open the ZIP files with your favourite ZIP manager (WinZIP, Windows ZIP folders, WinRar, Power Archive, KGB, whatever). Any file not passing this test calls for deleting, update the program and re-share. Pretty easy, IMHO. Best.

I wonder who it could be? [cough]

I removed/reshared almost all my shared decks so it should work better now...

Just as feedback: the P2P system is working very smoothly and quickly for me. Kudos!

Hi Ralf,

Thanks for that, but there still seems to be a problem - are you sure you got the new version of the beta before adding your shared decks back? I am still getting the zip error with this deck which could mean you created it using the buggy version again, or it could mean that someone else is sharing a corrupted version of the deck, or it could mean that the bug is not completely fixed in the new version. It would be great if you could confirm - thanks!

Last night, I shared my decks under version 8.0.0.5 (WinXP SP2)

So today, I uninstalled 8005, deleted the for sharing folder, installed 8008 and shared 1 deck: Fake Plastic Planet, with Ralf as the author... :)

Hope this helps!

PS: I'm testing 8008 in a Vista virtual machine right now... film at 11...

I just downloaded and installed FPP with no trouble - thanks!
