Hi all,

So, I think I've finished a game worthy of the Program Announcement page. I'm trying to put it in a zip file.

When I moved the exe and media from my project folder to the zip file, it took the media out of the folders I had them in and placed them right next to the exe.

I realize that's what is meant to happen, but what happens when my program looks for the media in a line like this:



When the game is uncompressed on another computer, the sound can no longer be found under the "sounds" folder.

thanks for the help

Coding is just better with music
God Bless!

Why don't you just right click your entire project folder(current project not db projects lol) and add to zip or archive? That should preserve your archive into the same structure.
