RZX link not downloading properly
Hi, the link to the RZX file of Mushroom Soup doesn't download properly. Any fix ?
Re: RZX link not downloading properly
Hi @saucysarah,
Looking at the server, the file has been renamed which is why you can't download it. @pavero looks after rzx files so I'm not going to touch it, but he should be able to look at it when he is next logged in.

Because we don't have permission from the author to host the files on the SC site, so even the RZX file is 'hidden' too. I have added 'distribution denied' tag.

Re: RZX link not downloading properly
I don't think it's appropriate to mark this title as denied, since nobody denied it.
But when a game is hosted at Itch.io, I agree it's better to ask the author's permission first, because many titles at itch.io are for sale (or asking for a donation).

Re: RZX link not downloading properly
Whilst we sometimes forget, we generally don't host game files of any type when the title is hosted on itch.io unless we have the authors permission. Often the author just wants one central place for files so they can keep track of stuff. We include links to the itch.io.page on the games entry page.

As a sidenote it was also unavailable on the maps speccy site too, indicating what PeterJ has said I suspect, aka the author just ones one place for people to get it from.

Re: RZX link not downloading properly
Yes, it's not ideal, but we don't have something like "Availability: on itch.io (author's homepage) only" ... and the way how to easily hide all RZXs and other files for these titles ...Einar Saukas wrote: ↑Thu Feb 29, 2024 6:55 pm I don't think it's appropriate to mark this title as denied, since nobody denied it.

Re: RZX link not downloading properly
Well, I have checked it again. In this case the author @Ottersoft doesn't ask about donation at all on itch.io site. So maybe we wouldn't have to denied this RZX?
Re: RZX link not downloading properly
Oops, a bit late.
While I would like people to get the game from itch (so I can obsessively see if people enjoy it )
I just want people to play and have fun so I don't mind it being hosted here.
I'd grab the newest version though as the first had a text bug.
Thank you for the thought though and I hope everyone who plays, enjoys.
