how do i install this it keeps trying to extract it as a 7zip file instead of using it as an executable please help.
That's how it works. It extracts to a folder and then you go into the folder and hit click me to start or use the launcher. Take care and enjoy!
-mike
speaking of 7zip, this download showed me i have 7zip! i used to think i only had winrar.
yeah but it fails to extract whenever it tries it comes up with an error message about how it failed to extract
I'll download and test it though it might take a little while since my download speeds are slow. Also if it is not working there, you can always try the homepage at Sandboxgamemaker.com Thanks for letting me know about a potential problem. Take care!
-mike
ill try that and also try the multiplatform version thnx for the help
I just finished downloading it and it extracted fine for me. Perhaps for some reason it didn't download all the way for you? That is the most likely problem. Let me know if there are any more problems. Thanks and take care!
-mike
i downloaded it from the home site and it worked fine and im sure it finished download every other time
When its finished installing my anti-virus program says its an commercial and has spyware that can be dangerous etc... :C
I have version 2.4, I tried to downloaded 2.5, it seemed to download ok butwhen it was done it would only play 2.4
hey is it possible to port things from another game engine like source i just wanted to know
i dont think so..
Can I make guns in this game??
yes, you just need to know how, ask calimer (maker of platinum arts) for a code or somthing, i'd give you codes but i dont know how to script, code, or anything else with words and numbers on making games like platinum arts.
I can't wait to see the newer version of platimun arts sandbox.
Go to youtube And see The snekpeaks.
