+GeoStoney Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Hello everybody, i have a short question: I created a Wherigo Cartdridge and uploaded it to Wherigo.com. Unfortunately i lost the original .urwigo file. Is there any possibility to "de-compile" the .gwz file to be able to open it in the Urwigo editor? I remember a post here in the forums that i just have to rename the .gwz file but that did not work Thanks for your help! Chris Quote Link to comment
Ranger Fox Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 I don't know about importing it back into Urwigo, but I do know you should be able to rename the .gwz to .zip and extract everything. Quote Link to comment
+GeoStoney Posted December 21, 2011 Author Share Posted December 21, 2011 Thank you! I think that was the hint I remembered. I had to rename it to .zip! I will try it out later, thank you! Quote Link to comment
+GeoStoney Posted December 21, 2011 Author Share Posted December 21, 2011 Too bad... I can only download the .gwc file for my decive. Renaming it to .zip does not work Any other ideas? The cartridge was so much work and I dont want to create it again Quote Link to comment
Ranger Fox Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Since you own the cartridge, edit the cartridge's information and add Creative Commons rights to it. You can then go onto your cartridge's listing page and download the source. Once you're done, go back to the Creative Commons area and undo the changes. This is the hack to get around not being able to download your own cartridge's source. Quote Link to comment
+jonny65 Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 The _cartridge.lua in *.gwz you can't import in Urwigo, if the GWZ was compiled with Urwigo ! Only the Lua file from the original GS builder works with the import function of urwigo. Sounds crazy, but this is the fact. You can reproduce this, if you make a testcartridge in urwigo, compile a gwz, rename to zip, extract the lua and try to import in urwigo > failure. Then make a testcartridge in GS builder, compile a gwz, rename it to zip, extract the lua and import in urwigo > this works. But don't solve your problem Quote Link to comment
+GeoStoney Posted December 22, 2011 Author Share Posted December 22, 2011 So I will have to start over and re-create the cartridge Quote Link to comment
Ranger Fox Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Unless Windows is monitoring that directory for system restore... Add to Urwigo wish list: include the .urwigo file within the GWZ. Quote Link to comment
