I made some pretty fun plazas, and wanted to share them on STEX, but every time I tried, it said, an error occurred, and because of this, I can't upload anything...Why is that?

My other question would be, how can I attach pictures here (screenshots)?, on the forum, in a new topic. i found an older answer, but when I clicked on the link, an error occurred, as usual, (happens a lot with me...), and couldn't find an answer.

Help!!!

Well, that effectively answers the picture posting question, so here's the file uploading one:

You cannot just upload lot editor files or anything like that to the STEX. You need to put them in a zip file. There are several programs you can use to do this, but WinZip is probably the most common one. It's shareware, but it works. After 90 days it'll start bugging you to register when you open it, but you can just ignore that and keep using the shareware indefinitely.


If you always take the same road, you will never see anything new.
If you can read this, you deserve a cookie.

    It was a zip file, and then I tried in rar, but nothing, just doesn't allow it...

    No rar on STEX please. Zip only.

    You will need to use Internet Explorer to upload to the STEX, Firefox has some trouble uploading.

    Also before uploading please make sure you have your ingame screenshots ready (250x182 pixels), required dependencies list and a description that explains to downloaders what the file is, what it does, and what they need to know to make it work properly in the game.

    Thanks
