Well i just finished downloading part 2 of the game on ModDB But there are two files.
blackmesa.zip.001 and blackmesa.zip.002?
What am i supposed to do with these?! Please help me! i want to play this game! :fffuuu:
Place them in the same directory and unpack them.
It is a split Zip file. Some parts of the files have been put in each archive so you’ll need both files to unpack or the files will be corrupt or your unzipping software won’t even allow you to unpack them.
I got WinRAR, but there is no option to unpack it
Place both files in the same directory, then open blackmesa.zip.001 in WinRAR. Go from there.
C:\Users\usuario\desktop\Black Mesa Source\blackmesa.zip.001.001: Unexpected end of archive
WHAT?!
Do you have blackmesa.zip.002 in the same directory?
Yes i got them in a single folder.
Join them with freeware tool Hjsplit
I already tried that and it just gives me part 1, the same weight the same everything hjsplit is not going to work
Okay, potentially stupid question. How big is blackmesa.zip.002?
1.702.648 KB (Equals 1.6GigaBytes)
Well, if the first file is 2,700 MB, then the only thing I can think of is that one or both of your zips were corrupted in downloading. My suggestion would be to redownload at least one of the files again, then try it again. If that doesn’t work, redownload the other. If that still doesn’t work, then I’m out of ideas.
What did the devs had in mind with this kind of installation crap? Dammit how hard is installing a damn mod!, i guess the only way out, is torrent.
I think it might be an issue with the file name, try removing the extension .001 from the end, seems it was duplicated somehow.
It’s not really that hard. It comes in two files through moddb. Opening zip.001 in something like WinRAR or WinZIP will automatically find zip.002 and continue the unzipping process (unless there’s a corruption in either file). I’ve seen much harder installs.
Then i guess 001 is corrupted because, when it reaches 15k files read on WinRAR, It says unexpected end of archive, if i open 002 it says Error file is either unknown format or damaged
Well, either redownload the files, or if you don’t think you can keep a steady connection, go with the torrent. But I’ll say it now so you don’t come back with more “wut were they thinkin,” if you use the torrent, like all other installations, you only need to touch the BlackMesa-Setup.exe. Nothing else. You cannot screw this up.
Yea i think torrent cant be screwed up…
PS : WUT WERE THEY THINKIN
