Help uploading my song...

SSBM5800 · 09-22-2006, 07:54 PM

When I put my song in the "File" part, it says: "The simfile must be in .zip, your file is in .smzip" and when I uploaded it into the "Simfile" part, it says "No file was uploaded".

How the heck do I upload my song?!

Rename the filename extension to [blahblahblah].zip

And you should be fine.

Or use WinZip to compress the file. Whatever you like.

How do I change it from .smzip to .zip though?>_>

Send it to the desktop of a comp that DOESN'T have SM installed.

It'll say [songname].smzip.

Change .smzip to .zip and it'll be fine.

what you do is install the package to stepmania....create a new zipped folder open up stepmania's folder and look for the song...when you find it drag it to th zipped folder and rename

Change .smzip to .zip and it'll be fine.

Just set windows so it show extentions... like it SHOULD.

I need to do that now. [leaves]

.smzip is more trouble then good, anyway.

WinRAR would make your life alot easier

just right click the folder, add to archive, and save it as a zip and wooohoo! all done!! the BMS server can read that no problemo

TheFlyingSquirrel · 09-24-2006, 11:04 AM

btw, it says right there that you HAVE to make it a zip.

TheFlyingSquirrel · 09-24-2006, 03:01 PM

Well he can advertise simfiles in his sig.

I should say that now before the Road of loQ is selected by TougaKiryuu.
