can't download mikero's tools

[Kronky]

Hi , I am trying to download mikero's tools and the only place to download them is the dev.withsix.com but that website is completely messed up.

it takes forever to load the website and sometimes it gives errors.

 

Does anyone have a copy of the tools ? I want to work on a map and i need to decompress an Altis mission.sqm to use as an example.

 

Thanks

Just Altis ? grab it from my Dropbox Here :)

Thanks. However once i am done with the file and i want to put it in the map_name.pbo i noticed that the file is encrypted or binarized do i have to  that also or can i keep it plain text ?

[Richie]

Keep it as plain text, it'll work fine

[Kronky]

What is the reason that the maps that come with the epoch server have their mission.sqm are rapified or compressed?

I mean what would you call that ? compression of the file or encryption. I noticed that the sizes are different after i derap them with mikero's tools.

 

I am just trying to understand more about servers.

Awol posted why but i can't remember now, there was a reason, both ways work so don't feel you have to change it back, plain text is fine.

Well I was able to finally get a few files down from there ... lol.

I will keep it in plain text then. it feels its so much easier.
