RAR file....
« on: April 25, 2013, 03:38:32 am »
Okay, i know how to download maps, I know you need to extract the files within that map and place it in exports. I did that. But the moment i tried to extract the files nothing showed up expect for this window that says  "To open this file, windows needs to know what program you want to use to open it". Which makes no sense at all, do I really need a Zip file to open it? I don't recall having this problem before when I use Firefox, heck I don't even remember downloading a Zip file to unzip a map, all I had to do was extract and export. Or perhaps I'm not doing the extracting part right? I just don't know... Why is it a RAR file instead of a fhm or a 'normal' file? :/

.rar is an extension kind of like a Zip file, only you need to use a different method to extract it.
I recommend http://www.7-zip.org/
7Zip is free and easy to use. c:

Winrar is also a useful program for unzipping files, it's the only program I use for maps.
When the message "To open this file, windows needs to know what program you want to use to open it" just search around for Winrar or 7Zip after you download one of them and choose that to open the file.

Bouncy Lion is right, WinRar is amazing to use for .RAR files, I use it all the time and does real well with the FH files that you download from here.
