whats this?

azezil

just bored in work so i started rooting around the server to see what was on it, found a folder called STar Trek - Bridge commander! (much to my delight;)) but it contained a load of files like

flt-stbc.001

there's 40 of em, n two others

ftl-stbc.nfo, ftl-stbc.sfc

what are they then?

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

try opening em in winrar

that usually works

*shrug*

Kali

aye winrar should do.. if not then try winace.

azezil

No joy with winace, winrar, or winzip.

Lenny

They're zipped in some format, someone must have warez them by the looks of the file names. tut tut tut

Frank Grimes

azezil, did you try opening that .nfo file in notepad? It might tell you what they used to compress the thing.

I think you have to get some program that creates a bin file out of them and then u burn them on to a cd. I got a game like that before and I went googling about the file format and as I recall it turned out I needed to burn them on to a cd first. Still haven't got around to doing it so I don't know if it would work.

Try googling for the bin or cue file formats and see what it says about them. Maybe they have some program now that can pretend that one of the folders on you hardrive is the cd drive and u might be able to install it from there.

inother words

I don't know what the nfo file was like in azesils case but in my case it was about as helpful as you.

It must be hard being as l33t as you. Being condescending and elitist all the time must be time consuming although not feeling the urge to help people must be one burden off your shoulders.

Social noob :rolleyes:

Would it have been so hard to just reply with "The nfo files usually contain any information you need to extract the files"?

ok, off isnt warez banned from these forums - if someone found such a game on a server surley it would be dodgy and where did u get the idea that i am always like this ? "all the time" ?!?!?

pffffffft

Typing flt-stbc into Google groups first post says that it's "Star Trek Bridge Commander", which would put it on the Warez catergory.

Aye, FLT are a release group. Think they're one of the groups that got busted a few weeks back, not sure though.

There should be a *.bin and *.cue file with it though, I think.

ahh but you were the first person who mentioned anything about warez.. as far as im concerned this is a topic about opening files... i honestly dont give a **** what type of files they are, and i see no links to said "warez"... hell it could be 600mb of star trek porn in which case you poor sod azezil

my god are you serious? or perhaps the fact its in a directory called "Star Trek Bridge Commander"?

anyway azezil if you havent got it by this stage you aint going to.. discussion closed due to the above "points"... enjoy the game or watch it destroy your hard drive if its full of viruses
