Can anyone put my custom decal into an extension?

[cyphus5]

Can anyone help me out? I've followed the instructions from the FGCon "mydecal.ext" guidelines, but something I'm doing isn't working. When I finish the process there is no button to turn on the custom extension in FG. I'm a complete noob when in comes to coding, and I'm sure it's something dumb I'm missing.

Anyway someone would put together me a custom decal extension with the image I made? To me it seems like a lot to ask, but I thought I'd at least give it a shot. Hell, maybe you can tell me what I'm doing wrong. I'm pretty much just replacing the decals in that tutorial extension with my own and matching up the file names, then using using 7zip to rebuild the .ext file.

Shoot it over and I'll take a look - [email protected]

if you have done everything as above then most likely you zipped up the parent folder as well as the files. dont zip the parent folder and make sure you only use .zip compression.

I've noticed when I use 7zip, FG never sees my file. I just end up using the normal Windows Send To -> Compressed Folder instead and it's fine.

Yeah, if you are using 7Zip you need to use ZIP compression, not 7z compression.

[Talyn]

Well, of course. But 7zip's .zip files aren't even seen by FG on my system.

Then see post #3 above. 7Zip has been used very often to successfully create extensions/modules/ruleset packages. The two main gotchas are what damned and I have mentioned. But, do it whichever way works for you - that's always the best approach. I was posting mostly so that anyone who reads this thread, especially the OP who said they were using 7z, will know not to use 7z compression. I'm all about educating everyone on these forums. :)
