Unpacking OXZs

Post by Fatleaf »

How do I unpack an OXZ to be able to look inside it? Every time I unpack it with winrar all I get is a garbled mess! What am I missing?

Rename the suffix from .oxz to .zip - then extract (I think).
I would advise stilts for the quagmires, and camels for the snowy hills
And any survivors, their debts I will certainly pay. There's always a way!

To reverse that process, you must re-zip only the contained files, not the outer folder, then rename it back to .oxz (I think). <grins>

Start here. :wink:
Most games have some sort of paddling-pool-and-water-wings beginning to ease you in: Oolite takes the rather more Darwinian approach of heaving you straight into the ocean, often with a brick or two in your pockets for luck. ~ Disembodied
