Help plz
ok i have created alot of AVS presets..
i would like to distribute them...
but i dunno how to compress them...
what program do i use to compress it into that weird extractor that u get when u d/l a plugin etc...
also when i select a picture to upload it, it says the picture is not in jpeg format but i have saved it to be in jpeg format....

That doesn't really help.

Send me the files (put them in a zip file and post them here), and I'll make a nice sexy installer with a splash screen and everything.

ok, i'll upload it to my site instead....

No problem. I will get to work on the Mad Masda installer. If it's OK, I'll make a couple images (thumbnail and full image) for it by taking some screenshots. No offense, but the ones in the zip file are a little weird-looking. I'll let you decide for yourself which one you want.

Here's a splash screen I just put together. It will display itself in the middle of the screen for a few seconds when the installer is run, it will disappear, and a window will pop up asking the user if they are sure they want to install it. I used a screenshot from "Spooky Square" to make it.

Oh yeah and I need to know if you have any kind of "readme" file that I should include. Don't make me do this over. Writing .nsi files isn't easy. Especially with all the files you have in there. :)

true dat true dat

nah i'll make a readme...
pretty much self eplanatory really
just extract to winamp folder and u done
;)

Well, if you want the readme in there, just let me know. I'll put it right into the installer, and it will ask the user if he or she wants to view it once the installation is done.

If you want it in the installer, post it here.

nah actually...
dun worry about it..
those damn readme's are freakin annoying when i am installing the plugins!!!
:P

once the product if finished pass it ova here plz
:)

All done. Just PM me the the username and password. ;) I can't seem to upload the file because it's a few bytes over the limit.

whenever i try to upload my presets this message appears
it's really starting to piss me off...
right off

ERROR The small image file you have uploaded is not a gif or jpeg image file.
ERROR The large image file you have uploaded is not a gif or jpeg image file.

i have it in gif and jpeg format and neither works...
