Help with uploading an oxz [solved]

Post by Rorschachhamster »

:D
Ok, I think I did everything as needed and in the documentation... but:

:oops: Luckily, there is an error very soon after this. Any ideas?

I'll just add the manifest.plist:

Code: Select all

{
	"identifier" = "oolite.oxp.rorschachhamster.Dragonships";
	"required_oolite_version" = "1.79";
	"title" = "Dragonships";
	"version" = "1.0.2";
	"category" = "Ships";
	"description" = "Three different low tec ships in a style based loosely on WW2 airplanes and a lot of artistic freedom. Without use of shaders";
	"download_url" = "http://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/File:Dragonships_1.0.0_2015-9-30.oxz";
	"author" = "Christian Sturke aka Rorschachhamster";
	"file_size" = "6947646";
	"information_url" = "http://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/Dragonships";
	"license" = "CC-BY-NC-SA 4.0";
	"upload_date" = "2015-09-30 22:09:27";
}

The huge download size suggests that you probably have entered something bogus into the file size box in the manager. Maybe. Should not be a show stopper anyway.

The download url should be http://wiki.alioth.net/img_auth.php/9/9 ... 5-9-30.oxz, not http://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/File:D ... 5-9-30.oxz.

Your current File: url is a text page where you can check the uploaded versions of this file, together with the direct link (http://wiki.alioth.net/img_auth.php/9/9 ... 5-9-30.oxz). You should use this in manifest, and set the file size in Bytes without commas or spaces in the admin page also.

This thread is a better source of information than the Wiki.. it pulls together all the bits of info scattered around the forum and Wiki, along with better explanations and cautions. :wink:
