KGWHD Packs - What are they?

hurtz · 29 October 2007, 15:25

Sorry I have to ask this question, but it does not seem to be covered anywhere else. What are these packs exactly? What does killergorilla do that makes these unique? Is it just a matter of saving us the headache of using whdload with the original disks / media?

Also, once I've downloaded all the packs + updates, is there an easy way of extracting them so they end up in the correct folder names in ClassicWB (under games, drawers 0 - Z)?

Its ready packaged with the games, no need for any installing or
disks.. .www.whdload.de - But ready to run.

Unpack with your favourite unpacker hehe.

But unpack them on a real Amiga or in Amiga emulation. Windows packer,like WinRAR, can't handle some exotic Amiga filenames.

Yes, KG's packs save us a MASSIVE headache and make them easily available for use on Amiga systems. Plus they have neat icons as standard too.

As for using them in the ClassicWB, just download a pack and unpack them Amiga side using the program Dopus already provided and setup for all archives.

All you need to do is select a given pack and click "ArcExt" button, or double click the archive in a Dopus window and you can copy the selected contents wherever you want.

OOh somehow I missed this thread!

Thanks for answering people

Bloodwych has pretty much covered the exact phrasing I'd put.

Maybe I should add "What are your packs?" to the FAQ

KG did you test KQ6 in french ? i need someone else to test it to convince
jotd to correct it.

killergorilla · 30 October 2007, 14:06

No I haven't tested it yet, I've been busy sorry.

I'm installing some now so will give it a go.

Oh and stop posting this in every thread

That would be great! Took me a while to figure out why I would want to use your packs. (Which are totally awesome by the way!)

Silly question maybe but can you edit the pack? I.e cut it down so you only have the games you want?

How would I do that?

Besides the site above, if you use the utility MASS DOWNLOADER, you can browser inside an archive and download what you really need inside that package.

Since a site with single whdload games exits, you don't need this.

JFYI
