hello all, i have a library containing sprites that I wish to uplaod and offer as a subscription... well when I added myself as a subscriber and downloaded the file...

It came up in dreammaker as expected with the readme.dm file up, but then the characers.dmi file is not in the side bar.. whats wrong how do i package it properly?

My settings were as follows:
"What would you like to distribute?"
>>World Resource files

"Save as?"
>>C:\WINDOWS\Desktop\spritelib1.zip

"Additional files?"
>>

"Demo files?"
>>

"Start file?"
>>readme.dm

Crispy	Your problem is that "World resource files" refers to the .rsc file, which contains the project's resources (such as images). Package it as "World source files" instead. A subtle difference, I know, but a very important one. =)

Jerico2day	yep tried em all none seem to work, it must be a setting somewhere tho... the files themselves are: readme.dm characters.dmi with readme.dm just being commented information, theres absolutely no code which is why i think its not being packaged.... any ideas?

Crispy	Packaging as source code should work. If it doesn't, though, package it as source code anyway and put characters.dmi in the Additional Files box instead of readme.dm

Jerico2day	that didnt work either... what i had to do was go into the folder where my project was stored, zip the files manually, remove the .rsc file and now it works!
