Examine the files you already have. It's very straightforward.

i see that all the new add-ons hace a "Server.CS" then description but how do i get the CS or what do i have to do to get it?

- Add a description txt. file with the same format as the ones in the other add-ons
- Add a server.cs with exec("./Example_YourAdd-on.cs"); in it (This is sometimes a client.cs instead, depends on the type of addition)
- Make sure your main file is named "Example_YourAdd-on.cs", the same name as the one you put in the Descritpion.cs (Title line) and the same name as you put in the server.cs exec line
- Make sure you package all the components in a ZIP file (Not RAR)
- Name the .zip file "Example_YourAdd-on" (nothing appears to be case sensitive mind you)

If you did all that and it still flunks out then I really don't know. That would fall back on the type of add-on you're trying to port, in which case you might need client.cs instead of server.cs. Not sure about the specifics.

What's the point of the description?  Is it shown in Blockland?

[Shocklink]

k, now what about GUIs that save info every few often, how do i port the GUIs?

btw Muffin, Thanks for the info.

Do you have to do anything different to port scripts?

- Put everything together no folders
- Add Description.cs and put all the info in there
- Name the script server.cs
- if your dealing with sounds or shapes make it like ex. "./shape.dts" ; or "./sound.wav";
- zip it all and call it what ever
- put zip into add-ons
- Done

I have no idea but it is definitely required.

For the record, you only have to have a description.txt in the zip; as far as I know, you don't need to have it match any filenames or anything.

It just has to be there and maybe have a few characters in it.

this should be stickyed for the folks in forums so we all know about this

Badspot, May you please Sticky this Topic, Thank You.

Its pretty easy to work out, its the reason why every thing is in the Add-ons folder for examples.
