You have to use WinZip... any other compression utility for windows wont work.
Google "WinZip", download the evauation version. then use winzip to extract the files.

Finally.....  I think I said that but they probably didn't listen.  Use the Evaluation Version if you want... I have been for like a year! :D

Mustaine:  Yes you can zip folders inside others, does not corrupt them.  Like Waffle said, don't use anything else... just use WinZip.

why use winzip when I have winRAR full version, and windows XP natively supports plain *.zip files?

well for the heck of it i did it anyway, just out of curiosity....

thats quite a collection from over the years....

I was surprised to see 11 sights I made years ago in there too.


I don't mind at all they are being used, and actually lol'ing they are still out there, I didn't even have them any more I thought until I looked to be sure.

Thank you Mustaine.... and yes your stuff is still being used!  Anyone remember Lephturn?  His sight is in there as well, and I use it alot.  Like I said before... credit is due to you guys who make them.  I have et to make a gunsight that actually works, but for me if it is more than a dot.... it is too much.  Enjoy your past bro!  Hope they are some good memories.

Zip inside a zip is utter pointlessness. You don't save ANYTHING so why even bother with it in the first place? Causes a lot less hassle just to put the uncompressed folders in one ZIP without trying to compress them individually.
Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

Working now. I love some of the Mk.8 one, I just wish the sight image wasn't so dammed small in the F4Us. I REALLY wish they'd fix that.

I agree Sketch.  I thought the packs were to spread the love and make people's AH experience more enjoyable.  I guess some people are more worried about getting their almighty name recognized.  Don't sprain your arm patting yourself on the back too hard stud.

Nice sight pack Sketch!  Thx for taking the time to put it together for everyone.  Can I post a link on the BoP boards, or are you gonna start crying and pull yours too?:rofl :lol

Thanks Ranger and yes it was the point to help out some people.  I have tossed that pak out there alot of people just looking for sights that are new to this game... not my fault I am a pack-rat with this type of stuff.

Sure you can post it up on there, Heck even put the pack on there as after a while it gets removed after a certain amount of time without downloads... put it where ever bro.  And I don't cry... I give you a thumb to the eye and stomp your toes and run!! :D
