Hey there!

So uh, I did not see a place I could post a question about forge, im having difficulties opening it and I was wondering if anyone would be willing to help out.

The error im getting is first of all its just a .out file which I've never seen before, I tried to open it in java and I had a problem it couldn't open. (And yes its above java 6.) Not sure what to do in the slightest.

We have changed the archival format used for the Forge distributions from ".zip" to ".tar.bz2". There are utilities for Windows, Mac OS and the various *nix's that can be used to decompress these ".tar.bz2" archives. We recommend that you decompress the Forge archive into a new and unused folder.

Some people use the Windows application 7zip. This utility can be found at http://www.7-zip.org/download.html. Mac users can double click on the archive and the application Archive Utility will launch and extract the archive. Mac users do not need to download a separate utility.

I've never dealt with this format before..I wouldn't know the first step into going into decompressing the archive, if your not too busy I would appreciate the help :/

I got it! Took some doing since its completely new but thanks for the tip ^^

However there is another problem with the images, it freezes when I try to put the images in saying theres three hours left..10-15 minutes later the download has not moved is there an HTTP proxy I could just download from?

This message has a link to a picture archive that could prove useful.
