    "The archive is either in unknown format or damaged" 😥

    I just tried downloading and extracting once again and the files are still working. For some reason, as soon as the files are uploaded, they are never ready for community download until several hours later. It's a problem on LanuchBox's end. Perhaps because the files are large, they are being reviewed or scanned for any unauthorized ROMs or malware. Please try downloading again, one at a time, if you haven't already. Thanks!

    Pretty cool, but I can't get it to launch my PDFs.  The problem seems to have something to do with telling Edge or Adobe where to find the files, but I'm too tech illiterate to figure it out after two hours of trying.  .

    To have the PDFs Launch with the PDF reader of your choice:

    1. If you'd like to use Adobe Acrobat (or some other PDF Reader) you can easily add it as an emulator in LaunchBox.
      1. Install Adobe Acrobat on your computer.
      2. Go into Launchbox, right-click on any image and select EDIT.
      3. Select Emulation from the left menu
      4. Add Adobe Acrobat as a new emulator as seen in this image.
      5. Add a Platform (such as Dungeons & Dragons) on the 2nd tab.

    1. In LaunchBox, select ALL images that pertain to PDFs
    2. Right-click on one of the images and select EDIT. The BULK Edit window will pop up.
    3. Select EMULATOR from the Field and change the value to either Adobe Acrobat or Rocket Launcher
    4. I use Soda PDF reader connected to RocketLauncher.
      1. I've included the required Rocket Launcher scripts in the download archive.
      2. RocketLauncher already has built-in AHK files for Soda PDF which makes it super easy to run properly.
      3. Soda PDF has a nice 3D page-turning effect which makes the manuals more realistic.

    Amazing pack.  I'm truly thankful for your hard work in cataloging all these documents and making them look good.  Any plans to expand to 3.5e? 

    Sorry for the late reply. I'm not sure why I didn't get notified of this post. Thanks for your kind words. Yes, I do have plans to do 3e, 3.5e, 4e, and 5th editions but it will take quite a bit of time to collect all the data and photoshop all the images. Fortunately, those versions don't have as much content as this one. I have 1 more release planned for this version as I am currently reworking all the boxed sets. This will likely take a few more months then I can start on 3e/3.5e. In the meantime, I hope you'll enjoy this latest v3.9.0.

    I downloaded the 2 files and was able to successfully extract the data. Just a note... with RAR archives, you only need to extract PART 1 and it will extract all other parts automatically. No need to extract the individual parts. However, that still doesn't mean there isn't a problem, so I am pasting the missing image you need here. Cheers!

    Many thanks for this huge undertaking.
    The Part1 rar extracted fine.
    However, I got a Data Error message related to TSR9260 when extracting the Part2 rar.
    In the extracted folder under LaunchBox\Images\Dungeons & Dragons\Box - Back, the image TSR9260 - Official Game Adventure - B11 - King's Festival.png appears as a 0 byte file. Everything else is ok.
    This may be just me but I thought you might like to be made aware.

     

    Thanks for letting me know. I will investigate and upload a new archive, if needed. I'm not sure why this has become such a problem with the LaunchBox Forum servers. I have a updated set of spine images ready to go anyways.

    That's pretty fun!  I like the Tempest image.  Being a black background makes it not so busy.  Also, because I have a bunch of misc apps/utilities/crap on my desktop, the 'tunnels' make nice dividers for organizing them a little.  Oh snap!!! It just changed.  Must be on a timer of sorts.   The sounds are fun and not annoying. Yet. :)  Thanks @malarrya!

    Glad you like it! Yeah, the default for desktop background change is every 30 minutes, I believe. You can use the VBS script to cycle through the images to get back the Tempest, then just turn shuffle off in the Windows Background settings menu.  I'll probably add a few more images in the future. BTW, if you like Dungeons & Dragons games at all, check out my D&D Platform... it needs more love :)
