Well, close to a pun; the word is hullabaloo.

Anyway, here's how .zip files work with DM: You have to create the .zip, go to your hub entry, and provide the location of the .zip file so it will upload itself to the hub. Then people will automatically download the .zip any time they click the Run link for your game. There's an easy way and a hard way to create the .zip.

The hard way: Open up WinZip and manually create the .zip file. Include your .dmb file, the game's .rsc file, and anything that gets loaded at runtime that wasn't specified with a 'file' format (single quotes).

The easy way: In the Build menu of Dream Seeker, select Package Files. Tell it to package executable files, and then give it information about your game. It will create the .zip for you.
