DasMatze Downloads

[TheChicosAStar]

Well I hate to start a thread for this, but after many unsuseccsful attempts I couldnt see what was wrong. So here it is, I go to his site and when I download all the files are "corrupt". Either some of the ovls are missing or all. (e.g. Animatronics as Ride Events all ovls are missing and the pdf is not working)

Try renaming the .zip to a .rar. Amazingly, It worked for me :)

So why did you? Why not post the problem you are having in the threads for those sets? - heck, maybe reading those threads might give you a clue...

Either some of the ovls are missing or all. (e.g. Animatronics as Ride Events all ovls are missing and the pdf is not working)
Since the animatronics are Frontier's, not DasMatze's, he couldn't actually re-distribute them legally (as pointed out in that thread). There would not be any OVLs for that set you gave as an example.

As for corrupted file downloads, that is usually due to a download accelerator (some ISP's offer them as a "powerboost" type feature) though the problem is usually solved by a simple, basic, common knowledge, done since the day the internet came to be, solution: delete any temporary internet files that might be a partial download and delete any previous downloaded copies. If you don't know how to do that, then you can simply type in a new name to save the file as when you start the download- that doesn't affect the contents, but Windows/MacOS will assume it is a different download then what you might already have (Both Windows and Mac tend to "go with what you have" if you -redownload without deleting...)

I had similar problems with some of his sets. The problem for me was the ZIP program I was using to extract. Are you trying to unzip an .RAR file with a .ZIP program? If it's an .RAR extension you will NOT see all of the files listed if you try to open it with a program that only recognizes .zip and not .rar - and it won't extract properly. Try a different extractor.

I had similar problems as well with DasMatze's sets, but after I downloaded them again they were fine.
