Title: Can't seem to unzip jeronij's TPW

When I try to extrract the files (Using WinRar) it spits out an error saying that the model files names must not exceed 250 characters.

If I drag and drop them from WinRar to Windows Explorer, it allows me, but brown boxes appear in the city.

Any ideas?

try to unrar in c:\
then modify the filename, move them back to upper folder if they are deep inside a folder hierachy, then copy them to your plugins folder.
In windows XP ( at least, not sure on Vista ), if a path to file ( drive + folders + filename ) is more than 240 characters, it won't work
If the full path to your plugin folder is already big, it might be problematic

thanks wouanagaine!

I just moved it to my desktop and it worked like a charm.
