I suggest you post whatever is in that text file and paste it on the forums. You may think this rule is foolish, but its to prevent any trojan linked downloads or any spyware, etc.

NOTE: If this thread is closed, then whoever closes it has 100% right to because what you did is against the forum rules.

It's a txt file, not an exe? What's the harm in that?

Just rename the .txt to .nw, and it will be working fine.

Binding a trojan virus to a file is not hard, which is why they made this rule. You can easily bind a trojan with any file and send it off to people. Of course, they wont know what you sent them, well, until that person notices there computers being taken over. It's all about precautions, Kjetil. You can never be too precautious.

VeX_RaT_Boy · #5 08-28-2004, 01:29 AM

It's a .txt and can do NO HARM at ALL by opening it in a text editor.

Darlene159 · #6 08-28-2004, 01:31 AM

It isnt an Exe file, it is a txt file...as far as I know, it is allowed on the forums

I was giving an example in my previous post. Like i said, you could bind any two programs together, no matter what file type it is. This one's safe but just a heads up on other cases that people send you something.

MysticalMatrix · #8 08-28-2004, 01:40 AM

Are you sure? I'm pretty sure .txt files are harmless o.O

VeX_RaT_Boy · #9 08-28-2004, 01:41 AM

They are. They can't be executed in any way. Files like .exe and .pif is baad.

It's virtually impossible to bind a trojan to a text file. You must live your life in fear of things you don't understand. Before you enforce things - understand them, oi.

Like a wise man once said...

"Nothings impossible."

Anyways...were getting off topic, so lets drop the issue i brought up and bring up the issue with what was posted.

Oh, is that why we are allowed to post .nw files? Please stop trying to enforce rules, especially ones you do not understand. It is not your job.

-On Topic-
invalid level? and what/where is Vendetta Cafe?

Agreed. Backseat moderating is incredibly irritating.

I THINK IT IS TIME FOR ANOTHER HOMEGROWN RULE.

MaverickOriginal · #15 08-28-2004, 05:45 AM

jesus, not one post noticed that its the level made out of ASCII

ThinkDifferent · #16 08-28-2004, 06:36 AM

the file signature seems to be "damaged" just change the EVNW01 into GLEVNW01 and change the extention to .nw, it should work then.

WanDaMan · #18 08-28-2004, 10:15 AM

That's normal if you recieve levels through hotmail. Make them send as a ZIP nextime though. Do what KJ said (Rename the file to NW)..
I open NW files as text documents; it's easier to check if there is any stolen / abusive scripts in the level before you upload, I suggest you all do that too

(At the bottom of the text document it shows the scripts / signs in the level)

It's not ASCII, It's the graal tile formations (Each tile number)..

If you believe you can achieve, then achieve you will. If you believe nothings possible then everything will be impossible for you.

And that, is just how it goes. Back then, things we have now seemed impossible to the people of that time. If people like Edison thought like you did, then everything we have now wouldnt have existed.

Brad · #21 08-28-2004, 06:40 PM

gambet you annoy me

It's true that nothing's impossible; I mean, it is possible there is some omnipotent being. This being can do anything. So nothing's impossible because he can make it happen!

Anyway, Gambet. Don't act like you know better because you don't and everybody disagrees with you.

WanDaMan · #26 08-29-2004, 01:07 PM

It's not a text file, it's a level. When sent over hotmail (Not in a ZIP file) it dosn't know the file so it sets it as an text file.

Open a level in text document / word pad and you'll notice the same. try open a detailed level.

Aknts · #27 08-29-2004, 07:44 PM

Yes Wan we know its a level but its a .txt file so its not binded with anything but text. It turns into a level when you name it .nw so do that. You won't get any virus', trojans, worms or anything, if you open it with a text program such as NotePad and WordPad.. or open it with Graal you will have no problems.
