Please, install RealityFactory to C:\RealityFactory instead of C:\Program Files\RealityFactory which the installer proposes by default. This will avoid a lot of troubles. Please, also read the FAQ. Thanks.

QuestOfDreams: I realise I am hijacking a post but I would like it if the fourm admin can keep this in the thread for newbies searching. I've been around long enough to know that to any regulars I would be considered a fly-by-nighter. That is fine.

Every attempt that I had made thus far to get to files hosted on filefront has been a failure. Perhaps the links were old links. Finally I get there and am fronted with a list of files, is there an index somewhere here as to what the files contain or do i just have to guess by name and download them?

The point being that access to those files earlier in my travels, and also to other information which is hard to find would have meant that I wouldn't be currently rebuilding my first level to make it more accurate.

Just a noob with a genuine hobby interest looking for answers not found in docs.
Info on my purpose here can be found at viewtopic.php?f=12&t=4831

Ofcourse man, RealityFactory searches an EXE file from Local Disk C, but you have a folder there, not an EXE file. Change your shortcut directory.

Actually, the files on filefront were sorted by type until the owner of that site changed and removed any sorting features. Unfortunately, I haven't found an appropiate web hosting for the files yet.
Most of the files are actors, demos (mostly .exe files) and old releases.
