first time user question.
« on: December 18, 2009, 04:11:05 AM »
hi, I heard about this game on another forum and when I tried to download it  (from the sticky) it was just one file, that didn't work. where do I find the file(s) I need to play it.

I think I need a bit more detail around "didn't work" if that's possible.

The single file you downloaded was probably just an update file, you need the whole program which you can find here: http://pinkpetal.org/index.php?topic=176.0

sorry 'bout the lack of details. it was 1 o'clock in the morning when I posted. as juroh said I just got an update, not the whole program.

ok, I got it, and all the files that are supposed to make it work, but it still says it's missing a file (SDL.dl or something like that) so I should reinstall. (if it helps the comp I'm using is 5 years old, at least, and hasn't had Internet for 3-4 years, so no updates)

Did you download 1.29 yet, it should have everything needed to run at least the full version should.

OK you will need 1.29.0.0 It can be found in this topic http://pinkpetal.org/index.php?topic=19.0

Once you download that make sure to reinstall 1.29.4.0 then 1.29.4.5

ok, the first link is just one file (it's actually the file i mentioned in the op). and neither of the computers I have access to can read it.
the file reads as an unknown file type when I go to down load it. while .4 version reads as a compressed file.

You will need something like 7zip or winrar to open it. 

Here is a link to 7zip

in case nothing else works, begin by DL'ing 1.23 then the update for that to 1.29 i know it's a long way but the game is worth it so far :)
The line between lunacy and genious is very thin.
So far i haven't been able to find it.
