I've bought some motions long time ago, and i remember i couldn't open them an extract them with Zip it, Stuff it, etc.. nothng worked. Then , i don't remember what i used...maybe it was a freeware or shareware unzipping program and i was able to open them. that was long time ago and i had given up poser for a while so i deleted the files. Now once again i want to open those zip files and use the motions But i don't remember how i opened them. Zip it can't open them, Stuff it can't. What can i use to open them? The only thing i've tried was JIMZip, it works...but if you try extract ALL the files to your comp ..it only extracts 1 at a time. it's tedious.

Here's what it worked with but i acn't extract all. just one at a time

I don't have a Mac, so I don't know much about these programs, but you might give them a look-see:

MacZip
Panther Unzip
Info-Zip

Depending on the size of the archive, you might be able to send the file to a Windows user who could un-zip it, then re-archive it, perhaps in a SIT or RAR format that you might be able to use. I'm (reasonably) sure that's legal, as long as the person receiving the file deleted the files and doesn't attempt to install them.

If it's really a zip, you only need to double-click to unzip. But did you perhaps buy a Renderosity CD with this zip on it? I'm curious because of the "into RenderosityCDMake". Never having gotten such a CD I don't know how they name the CDs they burn with products or the directory structure on them... but if you're trying to unzip in place from a CD, it would complain because the CD is read-only. If so, try simply dragging the zip file off the CD first. However, you should consider getting the dittoGUI free utility; just set the destination folder to Poser's main directory, and drag any zip file onto it then click "ditto". Easiest way to install you can get. (And you won't have to copy the zip file off the CD first.) Now, if your zip really isn't on a CD, then most likely the file is corrupted... in which case you should try to find an original copy. (You should still be able to re-download from your Renderosity account page.)

Speaking of Eclipse Studios, when they say "automatically" (as in the email submission form to download free samples is supposed to automatically send you a password), what do they mean? I'm actually considering buying some of their motions (would like to try some of the freebies first, though), but I'm wondering how long I'd have to wait to download the purchased product. Sorry for hijacking the thread.

the files i got from eclipse, not from renderosity, not on a CD , i downloaded them. you sa y they might be corrupt? well maybe, but at least i can get them by extracting one by one. so i'll do that i guess.

is RenderosityCDMake a CD by any chance? If it is then you can't unzip to it as it will be RO.
