Frustrated and in need of help

[HayleyGilbert24]

Hi all. So recently I've been trying to combine ZTD files so I can save up more space for more ZTDs. However, I tried several different methods and they all fail. For example, I used WinRar, GIT, and even watched a tutorial online and it still didn't work. I also renamed the zip file to a ztd file according to the instructions and the items never show up in my purchase menus. I'm almost considering asking someone who is more technological than me to combine files for me if I send some to them. I don't know if I'm either doing it incorrectly or I'm just cursed. It is so frustrating. I really could use the help.

If you used winrar did you save it as a .rar file as those do not work in ZT if you change .rar to .ztd.

Post one of your attempts here and cricket or I will see what we can suss out.

Looks like you are like me Hayley I so far have never mastered it 

But just do as Fern says she and Cricket will be able to guide you through it no doubt

Try a small one of say 6 or 7 first and post that. A huge file might be difficult to attach.

Here is one of my attempts that I tried last night

 

objectpack.ztd

The first thing I noticed is that you have an extra objects folder under the scenery/other folder.  In this case, with combining objects, the only files you should have under scenery/other should be the .ucs files.

 

I did a test.  I put your objectpack.ztd file in my game.  And, as expected, nothing showed up.  I made a copy of the file and removed the extra objects folder.  Then your items showed up.

 

I'm not quite sure how you managed to get that extra objects folder under scenery/other tho'

I might've added that by accident. I think I was going too fast in adding files that I didn't pay attention. Thanks for catching that. ❤️

Ok so i removed the folder and tried it out and it's still not showing up :/. Do you have file that you fixed by any chance? Maybe there is something I did incorrectly again.

Thank you so much. I think I need to keep practicing and learn as I go.
