Downloading ThinkTanks 1.1a for Mac?
by Ed Rawady · in ThinkTanks · 08/07/2003 (12:19 pm) · 8 replies
I've read about a full version upgrade--to 1.1a--for ThinkTanks (Mac), but I can't find a link to download it anywhere. I'm a registered user of version 1.0 and it would be nice if there were an obvious link and/or clear instructions at GarageGames.com for people like me to obtain version upgrades.

Note that we have added an in-game message to the game. If you start up the game, and click okay, it should take you to the right place.

I'm another Mac user having problems. I have the full version of ThinkTanks installed (v1.02) but every time it downloads the update, it's a 1.1 file that's .z encrypted, and my computer can't make sense of it. Don't see anything to download when I'm logged on, either.

BTW, you might also try Safari if you aren't already. That web browser seemed to have better luck downloading than IE when no mime type was provided at all.

Hi Peter. That's a problem we were seeing with the mime type. Our server initially didn't have a type for .dmg files so I made it application/encrypted. That worked for IE on my machine, but you probably have some exra encryption module installed that is using that mime type. I just changed it to application/octet-stream which should hopefully work better. Let me know...BTW, you might also try Safari if you aren't already.

Clark - you might want to just Stuffit the DMG file... that's what I typically have done in the past, gets around any browser issues. Or you might try renaming it .DMG.BIN and see if the server/browser then sees it as a raw binary.d

That actually wouldn't help here. The issue is server side having to do with the mime types not client side (although some browsers can cope with the wrong mime type). There shouldn't be any problems now.

(Dunno if you've seen my September review for Macworld yet, but I gave ThinkTanks a four-mouse rating.)

Indeed it has. Thanks, Clark. I tried updating again yesterday and was rewarded with the .dmg file straightaway (and yes, I'd been using Safari all this time). Thanks again for the help. Great update to an awesome game, btw!(Dunno if you've seen my September review for Macworld yet, but I gave ThinkTanks a four-mouse rating.)
