Changing SMZIP to ZIP

[Akira]

I have been noticing that this has been a frequent inquiry, so for those who don't know, here's how:

Now that you packed the song to a SMZIP package, you have been wondering how can you convert this to a ZIP.

The SMZIP format is actually a ZIP file that contains the automated instructions so that it can be installed to Stepmania, hence, to convert a SMZIP file to a ZIP file...

Simply rename the SMZIP extension to ZIP so it can be a ZIP file

to see the file extension just in case you can't see it,

in your windows Explorer, choose Tools then Folder Options

Choose the View tab and uncheck "Hide extensions for known file types"



now you can freely rename the file



cheers

Does this work for macs too?

As long as you can open zip files, I don't see why OS matters.

I could've sworn that you could open an SMZIP file with just WinZIP. It works just the same.

It's a little easier too.

7-Zip File Manager can also change extension file types, but your method may be the easiest.

It's for the purpose of uploading it into the simfile database, not the general file usage
