DOES OPERATING SYSTEM TYPE EFFECT VX ACE?

Posts

Pages: first 12 next last
So here's a hypothetical. Say a friend has windows 7 and I have windows vista. When I compress the game I use the usual rpgmaker vx ace method. When my friend goes to download my game he cannot.

My question is, is rpgmaker vx ace effected by the operating system? Aka, if I compress a game with windows vista as my os is there a possibility someone with windows 7 might not be able to download my game?

This is based on an ongoing discussion I'm having with shun. No matter how much shun tries to download my game he comes up short. I'm trying to find a way to help but so far I've been pretty clueless!
No. It should be fine to play on any current OS, since it's the newest version. You will have to include all the RTP files, or your friend will have to have the RTP installed in order to play the game, but otherwise there should be no issue.

He says when he attempts to download it he doesn't get the full file. Yet when I downloaded it and someone else did we were able to get the whole thing.

It's frustrating,Lib! Sadly, I don't know what I can do about it.

I'd really like to get rid of LockeZ. His play style is way too unpredictable. He's always like this too. If he ran a country, he'd just kill and imprison people at random until crime stopped.

It's not an OS thing, it's just either you not finishing the upload or him not finishing the download. One of the two of you is being dumb! If someone else is able to download it, then there's a 99% chance it's him.
Have you tried to use either winzip or winrar instead of making a compressed file? It's pretty easy to do and might work instead.

That's putting it bluntly but honestly. Marrend suggested shun is trying to use Opera to download it and Opera cannot read octet stream files. So that's likely the issue right there. Not that makes shun a dumb ass. Hell, I don't even know what Opera is so if anyone is mentally challenged it's me! (On second thought, "wisdom" and "intellect" are different things. So I would argue I'm "ignorant" instead. At least ignorant people can learn. lol.)

I did make a zip version but was surprised it was as large as the standard compressed version.

However, that was before I updated the demo again.

But I would not mind offering the zip version as an alternative. Just might take me a bit to set it up.

what the hell is an "octet stream file"

It's hip internet slang for trafficking drugs! Just kidding. I have no idea. lol.

I'm guessing it is a file on a streaming site like mega upload or game front where you can download stuff.

well I can download your game just fine

And apparently "octet-stream file" is just a generic name for any file type that a web browser can't open in the browser and has to download instead

so

he's dumb and probably quit halfway through the download

I'd hesitate to call anyone dumb (unless I know for sure) but it did seem like a case of someone trying to make a toaster work by sticking a fork in it. Metaphorically speaking of course. lol.

Now I can get back to more important things....like porn and videogames! Yes, I live like a king I tell you.

I know for sure: every single man, woman and child who lives is dumb sometimes. And the dead ones used to be dumb.

I have no substantial proof to argue that point.(I'm an obnoxious prick with no foresight often enough!) I'm also pretty misanthropic towards humanity in general. As a collective our species is rather parasitic,self indulgent,and self destructive. That and dumb people often breed more than smart people. (Aka,smart people weigh the consequences of having sex but dumb people simply shag and don't give a damn.)

However, there are good & intelligent people out there. Just not as many as I would like there to be!
Even smart people have been known to make stupid mistakes on occasion. Some of those mistakes have led to children and loveless marriages. Hell, some smart people want large families too. Matters of the heart are always complicated and more often than not override the brain.

;p

Hopefully your friend will work it out, though.

Indeed. Having a high IQ score doesn't always save us from self inflicted stupidity. lol.

As for matters of the heart, I don't know jack. I've hurt others and have gotten hurt myself. All I know for sure is I'm a straight kinky male and I don't want offspring due to the phobia I just might be a terrible parent. (Though I generally get along very well with the kids of my friends. Go figure!)

Concerning shun,I'll try to work on some sort of solution in the future though at this point I'm stumped.

Try using Google Chrome instead on Internet Explorer to download
something. I had a problem with Explorer once for something
that was related to RPG Maker.
If need be - say, if he has a bad internet connection - you can look through Mozilla or Chrome apps to find a download manager that will pause the download if the connection breaks and unpause when it connects again. That way the download won't be interrupted and restarted each time the connection disappears.

It might be part of the issue?

I can download just fine. It's my friend having the issue. I actually use google chrome so we think along the same lines!

Maybe. Though I get the feeling the way he tried downloading it was a bit "odd" in the first place. Then again,what do I know? I'm the one here asking the questions. I would highly suggest Chrome to him though! That's my app of choice for downloading stuff.

There's also the possibility that your friend's internet is flaky. A browser might consider a download complete if it doesn't receive data in a reasonable amount of time. You find out that there's a problem once you try to install or unzip it.

I thought about that too. My internet connection isn't the greatest but I can at least easily download stuff most of the time. (Aka, my apps know the difference between complete & incomplete + my connection is rather steady.)
