So, if you wanna be extra kind, from now on you can upload videos directly in your folder in _Youtube folder :)

I tried to transfer the Omega Intro AVI.zip file to this _Youtube folder twice and I just keep getting a 'Critical file transfer error' message. I still have the file. Awaiting instructions.

Omega - review (formatted), intro avi (sitting on my hard drive), and screenshots. The archive from the link you PMed me for the game is fine.

I kept four of the original screenshots, resized and compressed them but also replaced some. You can take a look and let me know what you think.

See previous post for questions I had about the review. I put the hyperlinks in the review, but that can be altered.

About AVI, just upload it in your folder on FTP then, (hopefully that's possible) and notify us and we'll take it from there. Although I don't see what could possibly go wrong... Did you tried to upload AVI in your folder inside _Youtube or in _Youtube itself?

As for links in review, I'm not sure about those. We would prefer to have someone submitting original manuals etc. I'm not sure about this... Let's see what others have to say.

Copies of the manual and reference documents are available on replacementdocs.com.

There is also a website that has the printed material available online in a hypertext linked format, which I found to be extremely helpful. This format allowed me to have both the easy-to-navigate reference material and the game up on the screen at the same time.

How would I go about working that into the review? Or is that something Abandonia has special rules about?

Please advise,
Thanks

Well, we can't add material taken from other sites without permission, it would be nice to get in contact with them.
Without an official permission we could just link to the site, not a great solution though.

Sorry for the stupid question but have you uploaded it directly or moved it from your folder? Because the restricted permissions don't let you move files.
In any case if you can't do that just upload it in your folder, we will move it later :OK:

Checked the screens, all seems ok!
Thank you very much Ohne :)

I uploaded the avi to the Ohne Mitleid folder. I have been trying to upload from my hard drive to the ftp site, not anything unusual.

It seems I don't have public write permissions for the _Youtube\Ohne Mitleid directory (numeric value 775) while I do for the other directory (numeric value 777).

It's unfortunate about the documentation, but this is seriously a game where you will not be able to play without it. Trust me, I tried.

I should have solved the FTP permission problem, please keep me updated :)

Then if it's not playable we need to find a solution together, we could contact the site for permission or create new documentation.

I would like to try the other before doing the "upload it as it is" solution.

Send me the link or the content by pm, let's start with this :)

Well... now I can't login at all!XD Filezilla, I get a "Critical error! Can't login to server". That is too funny!

That would be because we just had our passwords changed for the FTP. So the old one wont work any more.

That would explain it then. :doh:

I guess I should work on supplying more material to post!

Dark Legions - disk crack

The disk version is not cracked. I have a cracked disk version which only requires your usual 'Enter' key press to bypass copy protection.

The review for Jazz Jackrabbit is done. I also have the CD iso (55.6mb), source unknown. It offers installs in a bunch of different languages. The original shareware version has six levels. This one has all six and levels A, B, C, X and 2 bonus levels. Level X is a preview of Holiday Hare.

The problem I have with the CD version is the manual. The shareware manual is really well done, offering level and enemy descriptions. The CD version falls flat in that area.

I apologize for the delay in completing this. Even though my life may seem unremarkable to most, it does sometimes get in the way.
