Folks,
I've been using the Dropbox public folder option to store the Warzone: Ressurrection AB file with out incident. I needed to push out an update today and now, Dropbox no longer supports public folders. Okay, I can live with that. HOWEVER, when I share a link from dropbox, the heuristic name causes AB to declare the file as invalid (since its not a .ab file). Any ideas how to work around this? |

Your best bet here is, sadly, probably to switch to some other hosting for the files.
I would personally recommend Github. While it's nominally made for techy types, they have great free file hosting for public projects, and there's a desktop client so you don't need to know the particulars of the backend software that they're using (git). Their project storage also lets you keep the full history of a text file and split/merge different versions based on what you're working on. |

Folks,
Given the fact that Dropbox change broke the WZ download, I've temporarily uploaded the file to the Warzone official Facebook page. I am also working with Prodos to get them to host the datafile on their Warzone Downloads page. jmt |
