    • Where can I download a pre-unstuffed copy of EV or EVO? (help a desperate man out)


      The computers at my school have a security program called OnGuard, that disables all installers and some other stuff. They don't mind if I play games between classes, though. I've been trying to install Escape Velocity on my file server there, but of course the security program disables all iinstallers, so all I could do is download it unstuffed. I haven't yet found a place where I can do that though. That's wheere I need your help.
      If one of you could upload your EV or EVO folder (minus plugins), and give me the link, I would be ETERNALLY GRATEFUL.

      Since my mac at home is old and broken beyond repair, school is the ONLY place where I could potentially play EV. I'm actually considering buying a new iMac just to play EV and EVO, but I'm broke and under 16.

      Help a desperate man out, Please! Just upload your EV or EVO folder (don't bother with the plugins or utilities like Schmelta-V), and give me the link. THANK YOU!!

    • I don't have a real e-mail account that I can use at school. BUT, I set up a free web hosting account at (url="http://"http://www.tripod.com")www.tripod.com(/url)

      All you have to do is login...
      Username: Yoda8472
      Password: iwantev

      click on "file manager",
      then in the "upload via" pull down menu in the top center of the screen, select "single files (8)".
      Then enter in the pathways of all of the essential files in your EV folder, and upload them.

      Then I will log in from a computer at school and download the files, and (hopefully) be able to play EV.

      Thanks a lot. 😄 😄 😄

    • Oh, BTW, I think I can decompress .sit files at school, I just can't run installers. If it would be more convenient, just compress the whole EV folder into one .sit and upload it to the tripod account.

    • Yoda, how about I just tell you how to disable OnGuard? I know, since I'm an admin for my school network, and have been hacking/detecting loopholes in it for three years. Email me at achmizs@hotmail.com.

      OnGuard, eh? I remeber that evil little program. Fortunantely for you, there's an easy way around it. When I used to run into it (back in high school, this was every day), I'd just pop in a System CD or a Norton CD or something from my computer, have that Mac boot up on it, then take the OnGuard extensions (there are 3, I think; mayber two... OnGuard Locker and OnGruard Startup for sure) out of the extensions folder... then just reboot! Voila, normal Mac. Just put them back in the extensions folder and reboot when you're done using the computer. (Or, if you're like me, when you're on a break from school... they never noticed...)

    • Sounds good. I have the Mac OS 8 system tools disks, that should do the trick.
