Creating a zip to upload to map database..
This is a little tutorial on what you should be doing to create a zip for upload to our Map Database..
Covers all versions of Delta Force..
The files you need to include.
a. A text file, so the person downloading knows what's in the zip, it should contain your name, map name, game version, game type, and any info that
is required to run that map. example..
##########################
Map Name: Multi Story Car Park V1.0
Game Type: 8 Per Side Player TDM (16 Player) and 16 Player DM
Author: Eagle Eye
Game: DFBHD full Version
Notes:

b. bms file, the file the game uses
c. mis file is optional, the file the Med uses
d. pcx file. BHD intro pic file...optional, but needed for posting..
e. til file. BHD tile file.
f. bin file. BHD custom made bin file.
g. wac file. BHD wac file
The compression software..
We only accept the zip format for compressed files.
Go to wizip.com and download the trial.
http://www.winzip.com
Try not to use the Windows XP native Zip, it's not very good, and only seems to decompress correctly when you use XP itself..
Install Winzip.
Using Windows Explorer, create a Folder somewhere, the temp folder is always a good place. Name this folder the same as your map.
Locate your files in your game directory with windows explorer, and copy them to the folder you just created.
Open the new folder, highlight all the files, right click, and look in the context menu for winzip, you should see a number of options, choose add to
"xyz".zip (xyz will be the name of the directory where you have the files you highlighted) . Now look in your directory, you will find a new zip file
..rename it to what you want..now upload it.
Don't forget, you will need a valid screen shot for your upload.
Regards
EE
