Post by lgrapes » Sat Jul 03, 2004 2:27 pm

Can someone help me? I don't understand how to download custom levels :oops: It is probably really easy but I am not getting it...very confused.

When I save them they disappear...I did a file search and when I found them I could not open them. I tried to unzip but nothing happens.

I just know that I am not seeing something very simple...someone please humor me...

I presume it's a zip file you're trying to open?

If you have Win. XP you should be able to right click it and extract all files. If not you may not have an extraction tool eg. Winzip.

You can't see zip files if you put them in you RTW folder without unzipping them first.

What file is it your having trouble with?

Hi Pauline,

Thanks for your response... :) I have never had to unzip files before so I probably just need to review it on my system and figure out what I am doing wrong. I do have Windows XP so, I probably just need to look up the tutorial for it.

I am a nurse so I understand the workings of the human body but obviously not the workings of my computer. I am pretty savvy but I can't seem to figure out what I am doing wrong :oops:

I hear ya. I have been having a heck of a time with finding my files after I download them. I thought when you had to unzip a file it had like a zipper on it. None of mine do. I do have Windows XP also, so I guess I will just have to keep looking. It is frustrating though cause I want to play BigZips new level, only I can't find it. And I wanted to check out the level with the house, only I can't find it. I followed the directions about right clicking the download paperclip, but I don't get the option of Save as. I will figure it out eventually, but if someone could give some hints that would be great. I will try anything.

Hey people :) if you right click on the download tex below the paper clip and choose Save Target as, a box will popup, simply select the wonderland folder and save it in the custom levels folder.

If you're downloading the files to the same place you downloaded them before the new game came out then they are problably in the RTW folder and not RTW deluxe folder. They are seperate on my hard drive. The new one didn't overwrite the old one. So new downloads need to be redirected to the new RTW deluxe folder.

Have a look in Explorer to see if yours are seperate.
