Anyone else out here that can't get the free item this week? It keeps coming up that the file doesn't exist :( My poor dragon wants to be rich! Also, I have a question. I have the LE dragon. I was wondering if the poses and textures that I've seen out there would be usual on him?

The "Real scales" textures in the marketplace here were designed for the LE dragon. (another shameless plug ) Rawn

Well I got the dragon horde but it was a monster to DL. It may say 7mb, but the file was really over 25mb! As far as I know the poses will all work, textures will definately work.

Got the download and came to over 14meg (12:20p Central Time) - This was the windows exe that I downloaded. Installation actually knew that I had P4 and P5 and gave me the option of installing in either [did P5 works fine].

ShadowCat: I had that very same file size the first time 'round, and after download, the file would not open. I redownloaded today and the filesize had shrunk to the 14mb and it installed correctly. I think the bigger file may have been replaced with a correction while we slept last night.

I read over at 3DC that the original archive had maps that were too big and the coins prop has a bug in it so they fixed it. I never could have gotten it at 25 megs. LOL Even at 14 megs I set the download going, changed clothes, went food shopping, came home, changed clothes, put the groceries away, made a cup of Java and grabbed my cigs and went to my PC just as it finished.

Well I got it & it loaded. Just tested it & the only thing not working is the hills of coins prop (I can make my own) I started the DL, saw the file size, & went to bed. I refuse to DL again.

shadowcat:
EricTorstenson solved the problem with the "hills of coins" prop. It's a very simple fix; a } bracket was left out at the beginning of the file, in the version number section.
See this thread for details.
