Extension Not Listed

[mr_h]

I was trying to make a Savage Worlds updated version of my World War 2 skin and I've run into a slight problem. After making a copy of the extension and modifying it for Savage Worlds (replace chatbox, add icon, update xml files), I put the new .ext file into the extensions directoy. When I load up FG, the extension is not listed as an option.

All my other extensions are there, and if I Remove them from the directory they disappear from the options until I put them back.

Any thoughts as to why this one extension file will not work properly?

Thanks

(The extension can be found here. (https://boxofgeeks.net/~mrh//SavageWorlds/skin-ww2-sw.ext) )

Try adding:



<ruleset>
<name>***</name> -- replace *** with the name of the ruleset this extension is used in.
</ruleset>


to the <properties> tag in the extension file extension.xml.

Important to note that the <name></name> tag IS case sensitive. So whatever name you put in there, make sure its spelled and capitalized the same as the ruleset that displays in the list.

Hmm, added that tag and still a no go. Confusing, epically as before it worked but I never had a ruleset tag in there.

if I rename your ext file as a zip it will not open, it only opens if I rename it as a rar file.

in my (limited) experience with FGII. It does not like the compression ratio of rar files. Try rezipping your files with winrar, but select zip as the archive format and see if that makes a difference.

Hmm, I'm not sure if doing the Zip or cleaning up my extension.xml file did it, but it seems to work now. Thanks.

Yea. It has to be a ZIP file. FG2 can't read RAR.

Bear in mind it doesn't like Zip7 either. You really need plain old zip. I always use the Windows OS to zip modules and extensions for that reason.

WinRAR works great as well so long as you remember to set it to ZIP and not RAR.
