Server Haks on a Mac

[psychologic]

Hey folks, potential new player here. I've gotten all the haks downloaded. First time ever running NWN on a mac, so this has been a challenge. I can't even click on the hak links, I have to save the linked file to desktop first lol. Anyhow, everything seems be alright except for the CompleteRCs (part 1&2). When I try to extract them, I get the following error repeatedly...

Extracting from /Users/arch_angel/Desktop/Download.php.rar

This mean anything?

And problem solved. Thanks a bunch!

I have no idea what that means. But its nice to see another mac user. My guess is the hak did not download properly and its corrupt. Are you using an Intel Mac?

Not sure any of us are MAC savy here. Perhaps Googling MAC and WINRAR will turn up a way to extract that file.

We also have at least one current player that's fought this battle .. "chilango" ... perhaps he'll spot this and post too.

Yeah I'm on a Mac Mini (for now).

The problem (I think) is how it is extracted, using various default mac extractors. It will try to do them separately, and not as a single archive. I re-downloaded, and extracted both at the same time, from the desktop, directly to the NWN/Hak folder, using UnRarx, and was successful.

I'll sticky this for others.
