Any ideas ?

I can download, but can't register. I go to this page, but there isn't a link to register. Does anyone have the URL for the gmax 1.2 registration?
:EDIT:
N/M. The link only works in IE for some peculiar reason. &*%^*

I am downloading it as I type this! Finally, a decent program that will work with Microsoft's fine program Windows 98. Unlike some things (cough, DarkMatter's DatGen cough). I can not wait to use gmax! Hopefully I will become a master lot builder! I am still looking for a particular niche in this site. I am so excited!

"fine program"?!?!?! Stop denying that your computer isn't good enough to run XP

Denying that my computer can not run it? What? I think it could, but XP is very expensive and I can not afford it at this moment.

Ah, I have windows XP and cannot run DM's DatGen 
But you should be able to run GMax under Win98.   People have been using GMax for years, long before WinXP.

Yup! If you have a dial up modem that is, as I do. A download manager might help especially one that can break up the file and download multiple parts simultaneously, and resume broken downloads. Or you could see if it is available on a cd somewhere eg. on a computer magazine or in a software store. Sometimes they have demo disks for sale.

Simdowman, why did you post that?23.gif

BTW, if you cannot run DatGen, it's probably because you need, to get the .NET framework from here

As far as download managers go I prefer NetAnts....Also just d/led GMax(2min40secs on cable)and I'm gonna play around with it some. First stab at anything like this and I will post results.

Thanks for the link, Rybolton, I finally got to downloading it and am now fiddling: this is not my first 3D modeling, as I have designed several levels and missions for Descent 3 previously, but I still have a long way to go to achieve anything extremely impressive, I think.  1.gif

That's the download speed I get, and I have 10MB/s university ethernet! Maybe their packet shaper is limiting ftp downloads.

FYI if you have a slow connection like this, use some kind of FTP program (FileZilla, CuteFTP or WS_FTP) because you can resume from this ftp. My connection broke the first time I tried downloaded, then I used CuteFTP and it broke once but automatically resumed the file for me. Took a lot ass time to do it though. Just walk away from the computer and do something for oh say, 4 to 5 hours.

5.2 Hours; 2&2/3 mins.; the two extremes. Can someone give me a d/l time estimate for a 46.6KB/S dial-up for the gMax 1.2 installer (19MB)?

I have the same problem. Tell me why and how to fix it. Is it because you need WinZip?

If GMAX downloads correct you should get a RED icon with GMAX underneath.Click and it will want you to register with discret.After all that go get BAT at main.

Geez! I ask a question, I get ignored. Happens all the time to me. I got singled out by another question. What is an estimate time of the gMax 1.2 installer (19MB or 19,000KB) with a 46.6KB/S dial-up (what I've got)? I estimated 6min., 47s, or 7 min., or at most 10min., but I'm not sure. That's why I'm asking the whizzes here at Simtropolis.

Well, when I click on the link to download it, I just get the classic The page can not be displayed screen. Every time. Maybe something's wrong with the server. I'll try again later.

I've downloaded GMAX but it won't install, every time I try it I get this, even when I download it again.

Does anypone have a registration key? Seen as it is a free program I see no problem in distributing the code, because I have tried for 2 days to get the code, and all I get is :
 
We are currently unable to process your registration.
Please try again later.
 
For the last 2 days that is all that happens!
 
Can someone post a code, please 44.gif
 
 
EDIT: 1000 posts!
