plug-in help

Hey everyone. tonight I decided to download "great spell shop" plug-in since 3/4 people liked it(according to the rating.) I download it, put it in my plug-in folder, zipped it, but when I expanded it to make it into a folder, it has an error report of some kind. It did,however, make a folder, although there is only another "gretspellshop.sea.sit" thingy in it, no Data001 or anything else. 😕 what should I do? I need help,

First of all, I wouldn't put too much stock in what the rating says because it seems that very few of the users bother to vote. Damsels latest version has over 800 downloads and about 26 votes.

Have you tried to expand the inside folder marked ------.sit? The folder I have is marked "Great spell shop plugin v0_ 4 " and has the data file, the 3 folders for music, movies, and sounds plus a readme. The readme should be removed before you place the rest in the plugins folder.

Yes i have have tried to work with the file in the folder, but no luck. Here's what the folder that expanding the zip file has in it.
THe top folder i get says "Great_spell_shop_v.0_4_sea". inside that is another folder called "Great_spell_shop_v.0_4_sea" and a .sit file named "Great_spell_shop_v.0_4_sea.sit" inside the folder is a "Great_spell_shop_v.0_4" folder that has nothing else in it. I am guessing that the error that occurs loses the data001. I cannot expand the .sit file. I have zipped the new .sit file and then expanded it with the same results as before.

KrayzKid, I'll email you the unstuffed plugin. It's about 375k. I'll send it unstuffed.

Dang! We(my family) have a anti-virus thing on our e-mail and it doesn't like some types of attachments. I'll have to wait untill my dad gets home tonight. Though he might not want it to be opened. The last time(i think it was the DiD that wasn't working) he didn't want to open it cause all i knew of you guys is what i can find out on the forum(not much). I should be able to persaude him like last time. Thanks for sending it anyways.

thanks for the help, RD. It worked, great plug-in KJK. I think that the reason it won't work for me is because I have a Windows(hates that fact). After going to the forums at the makers of Stuffit's forums, I found that "there is a possiblity that certain characters used within names of files contained within the archive will not translate correctly when expanded on a Windows operating system." that is ther reason i get the error. It seems that there are those certain characters in TQFTMC, MSD, and Ghosts of time,although Evil on Yaru Island works for me. Thanks

Most people use underscores instead of spaces when moving files between Macs and PCs. Spaces get all goofed up when going between platforms. So obviously underscores do work. 🙂
