Use a program called 7Zip and save the output file with a .sd7 extension at the end of the name "filename.sd7"

When using 7zip to pack your map files, make sure that there is a base folder named "maps" then put your map files within this folder.
To save it as .sd7 instead of using the default .7zip extension, rename the filename so that it has .sd7.
And you should be good to go, drop it in your Spring/maps folder and viola, new map :D.

Nah, Crusader it wasn't a stupid question. I did want to know that. Many thanks! guys. Just curious, how to rename bulk compressed files, am not so sure about this [LINK REMOVED BECAUSE THIS IS A BOT/AD], is any built in utility option there? don't want to use as a separate function. Thoughts??

While I'm suspicious that you might be a bot or corporate shill I'll address your question.dannajackson61 wrote:Nah, Crusader it wasn't a stupid question. I did want to know that. Many thanks! guys.

7z offers decent system integration and you would never need to "bulk rename" anything as you can always just right-click the archive and view it's contents from the 7zip menu.
For people developing their own maps they can use the "spring data directory" option and not even have to deal with 7z until they are ready to publish.
just create a directory called "MapArchiveName.SDD" in the folder you keep your maps in. So you'd somethind like:
/maps/MyTestMap.SDD/MyTestMap.smf
/maps/MyTestMap.SDD/MyTestMap.smt
/maps/MyTestMap.SDD/MyTestMap.smd
Re: creating a .sd7 file
do you also respond to "enlarge your bulk" spam if the email is personanlized?
Re: creating a .sd7 file
I used to. I would correct the spelling and grammar errors and improve the copy for them... I treated it as good practice for a career in copy writing or technical writing... and I was a very lonely person.knorke wrote:do you also respond to "enlarge your bulk" spam if the email is personanlized?
I never even got automated responses to my helpful suggestions so I stopped.
In this particular case, the spam-bot reminded me of some useful information that could be shared with the original poster... I had totally failed to realize it was an epic rez and unlikely to be useful to the OP at this time... now I just think it's funny and want to leave it intact so people can be entertained.

No dannajackson61, I do not treat every link as a bot ad... but when it is the first thing a user posts, and they do so in a rez thread, and the "content" of the post contributes nothing to the discussion at hand and another user reports the post as commercial spam... I really have no choice... if you were just a little more careful I probably wouldn't have caught you.

Sorry about this, I've just never seen an ad bot behave this intelligently before and wonder how long you will keep acting like you know what I'm talking about.dannajackson61 wrote:copy that!SinbadEV wrote:
