Cannot extract files contained within HUMAN_source-files.zip.001

posted to: Stamping Setup
Getting an 'Unexpected end of data' error message for this archive alone when extacting using 7z v19.0. Everything else extracts fine however I don't have access to the skin textures for the brushes.

    Hi Goose n3b ,

    This is a so-called split archive:

    put all the Human_source-files.zip.xxx in 1 folder (there can be other files in there as well, if I'm not mistaken).

    Then unzip (only) the .zip.001....the rest will be 'pulled in' and unzipped automatically.

    If you still encounter problems, let us know.

    Hey!

    So all archives are within a single folder, each the size of 1GB, I am able to extract all of them except the first one successfully due to this error. Same error happens using 7zip and WinRaR. So I can extract all portions of the split archive except for the first archive due to this "Unexpected end of archive" error.

    Hi n3b ,

    Do NOT extract al .zip.xxx files!

    Only the .zip.001

    Remove the ones you already extracted, just to be sure.

    Hey Martin, 

    What I had meant to say is that by extracting .zip.001 only, all subsequent archives within the split archive extracted successfully except for the first one (.zip.001)

    Hm...,,

    Did you try re-downloading the .zip.001 file? Maybe there is an error in the downloaded version you have (although that doesn't seem very likely to me...but it's possible I guess...) I can't really think of anything else to be honest...haven't heard of this specific issue yet either...

    There have been previous discussions of this sort before, I think you may find an answer in one of these threads:
