Said the self-contradictor.

He isn't being contradictory, he said that stuffit was not needed, but that it can decompress files which are better than the more common file.

I'll stress that point by saying that if anyone were to release anything in the open wide Macintosh world that used those formats, then they would definitely receive a lot of complaints. Using those formats nowadays is just having an excuse for telling someone to download a bad piece of software. I would blame the author for using such a compression format, not the user. Zip files of course can be unzipped nowadays without needing to download anything. Password archives can be left to The Unarchiver, a better alternative.

My point is that you should not need to download some other piece of software to install mods, and if you were to release them out in the public, then why would you password protect your zip files?

No one needs Stinking Stuffit.

edit:

And I'll be quoting my old post from CH.

If you must download some program that unzips various amount of zip formats to fix your problem, do not download Stuffit (which is a piece of trash, by the way). It's amazing how many people use stuffit, put up with their 'trial's and annoying software updates, and junk it installs on their computer, and especially use 'sitx' or 'sit' formats when they find out people can't unzip the file and the lame excuse being "download stuffit" or "shouldn't stuffit have came with your OS?" (course not, since it's a piece of trash)

A good alternative for unzipping files is The Unarchiver, which handles various zip formats (even 'sit', which is a zipping format you SHOULDN'T be using anyway, edit: you shouldn't be using sitx either)

Some people are a showing disagreement to my post because they think the user should do extra work in order to install the mod. I am showing a disagreement to the posts above because I think you should make the installation process easier for the user. Which really makes more sense?
you got a point nil. <.< thanks for opening my eyes.

is that i've grown up using it since when i was a little child! <.< i remember it on my old OS9s XD but well... yeah,
i already had the unarchivier and... meh. the only problem is that it does not creates archivies. <.< anyway i'll keep using DropTar and DropsStuff if needed.

EDIT: PS: @ sparky, yeah. it must! o.o

FAIL! nonononononono!

Drop Tar is tar -cf archive.tar [filename] [otherfilename] in terminal.

No it is not. stix or sitx or whatever is worse than .zip compression.

Why do you say that? .sitx files are smaller.

crazyshroom · Post by **crazyshroom** » Thu Feb 19, 2009 4:12 pm

idk but .stix's take more time to extract and zips are more popular

Rofldonutburger · Post by **Rofldonutburger** » Thu Feb 19, 2009 5:49 pm

Your computer lags. And I would say .sitx is better than .zip.

File: 44.2MB
.zip: 19.4MB
.sitx: 16.1MB

I think stuffit is just slower.

Rofldonutburger · Post by **Rofldonutburger** » Thu Feb 19, 2009 6:06 pm

It takes longer to upload than to compress. Overall, .sitx are better.

tokage · Post by **tokage** » Thu Feb 19, 2009 6:09 pm

Meh. I have stuffit expander and archive utility which I believe came on my mac.

Heh heh, this reminds me of when I had to get an update in order to open .dmg files.
The funny thing is, the update WAS a .dmg file lol.
Some nice person put it up as a .zip thankfully.

But why are we really discussing this in the first place?
I mean, there haven't been any problems with file downloads.
We are pretty much having a debate for..... fun?

ZOMG DEBATERS.

Bump. Yep and what's wrong with fun

PS.
-.sitx's are a better Im out

.zip and .sitx compressions of map files are the same or only slightly different. I find .zip to be much easier to use and more convenient overall, so I prefer it over Stuffit.

No. Not a bump. Not even close. Sorry to ruin your fun.

After reading this, you do have a point. Why are we talking about archiving things? Another question: Who brought up this question? And third: Why Stuffit?
