Need some help about zipping & JGSME.

[1480]

I've just created a variety radio station (Thank you Digital Trucker for the great program and the patience) that I would like to share with you fine folks out there. The minor issues are I need someone to PM me or put on or link a thread in regards to how to : A. How to compress the file with my WinRAR program (yes its bought and paid for). B. What do I need to do to make it work via JGSME? Thanks ahead of time.

How big is the file, and where will you be uploading it? That makes a difference in how you zip it.

As for making it JSGME compatible, you need to have the following folder structure:

(Mod name)\Data\Sound\Radio\(Station folder)

About WinRAR:

1st start up WinRAR itself, and go into Options/Settings/Integration.

Then push the button that reads "Context menu items"...they mean the context-menu you get, when you right-click on any file, in windows explorer.
In your case, make sure you select at least the "Add-to" and "Compress..." options.
Click OK and OK.

Now you're set for the future, not only for this mod,



Right-click on your (JSGME-ready) mod, and select "Add to archive...".
In the General menu, you can enter a file-name, whether it has to be in ZIP or in RAR format, and the level of compression, for example.

Normally, the new compressed file you just made, is saved in the same folder as where it was created (if you compress a file that is on your desktop, then the compressed result is also to be found on the desktop).

Thanks for all of the help, so quickly, I might add. Here is the problem, it's 313MB compressed (best) and I started to U/L w/filefront. ETU 2hrs 30mins, anyplace faster, I have DSL about 600 kbs, if that helps.

I break mine into 256MB parts. Each one takes a little over an hour, and I have 512 upload speed. Is 600 your download speed? If so, then your upload speed is probably half that, or even less, which would explain the two hours+. Otherwise, you just have a slow pipeline for some reason.
