I would need help to properly repair these archives, if it's possible:
They were corrupted on a CD actually.
E3L5
And implantgunold

It's been quite a while since oldunreal had an overhaul, but we are moving to another server which require some updates and changes. The biggest change is the migration of our old reliable YaBB forum to phpBB. This system expects you to login with your username and old password known from YaBB.
If you experience any problems there is also the usual "password forgotten" function. Don't forget to clear your browser cache!
If you have any further concerns feel free to contact me: Smirftsch@oldunreal.com

Re: repair damaged archives
don't think that there are much chances. No way to fix the cd?

Re: repair damaged archives
What did you do yourself?
There is software available that can extract undamaged files from a damaged .zip container. If the damage to the .zip is small then you will be able to extract most of the files. But please note that .zip files have no redundancy, so of there is damage not everything will be recoverable.

Re: repair damaged archives
Well...Delacroix said he managed to somehow repair one of the archives, I am waiting until he can send it to me or tell me what method he used, but he said the second archive was not recovarable for him, but if it can be solved by other programs I would like to know... I can try something though.
EDIT: One program wanted me to pay for it, it could only analyse it all, but it seems both archives are recoverable....
EDIT2: Tried another program, but the files with bad headers were skipped, while the other one told me that it could be fixed even...
This is the archive "fixed" but still..it didn't repack E3L5A and that other file...
