This is for future reference and should be a no-brainer step by step guide.

Step 1 is simple. To even get the game through to be listed it MUST have sections A and B filled out like so:



Only then may you click step C, which is submit.

Step 2, you have to find you game you want to upload. Click "Browse" as indicated in red.

Hopefully those following this aren't colorblind.

Step 3, double click on the zip file containing your game or demo you want uploaded. No arj, pkp, pk3, pk1, rar, or tar files. ONLY ZIP FILES.


Step 4, you'll be taken back to this screen. Hit "upload" now.


Step 5. Wait around. If you NEED this guide, wait around for probably an hour. Do NOT hit back on your browser or refresh. Let the page finish loading. Then check the gamelist. If you can download your game, mission accomplished!


May this forever save people the trouble of having to repeatedly explain to every newcomer HOW to upload a game.

Well, from this I learned that:

1) Fenrir is running Windows 98
2) Fenrir has WinAmp
3) Fenrir named his OHR directory "Hampster"

Thanks for the referrence though.

Once again, fenrir saves the day. I am sure it is pretty much self explainatory though. It is Fen's want to help the comunity as best as he can that inspires me.

-Cool desktop... Big grin

I speak for everyone when I say: Thanks! (I guess...)

Wow Fen... I didn't know there were simple step by step instructions to upload a game. And all this time, I thought it was common sense. But as you said, hopefully it will help the newcomers to this site. Which I guess not everyone knows how to upload a game. Good idea though.

Insider information:

The person fenrir wrote this guide for still hasn't managed to upload his game. There probably isn't a whole lot of hope for him.

This is pretty irrelevent but he's clearly running XP. The Windows icon on the start menu and the sidedbar on the "Choose File" window are the tell-tale signs.

OR he could have Windows 98 with Object Desktop. EGADS.

Interesting wallpaper there...

Always great for Fenrir to state the obvious. Should have called this thread "Uploading for Dummies"

Hunter, I can't help it if the people whom this was supposed to help are computer illiterate luddites.

And I am considering making quite a few more of these including "posting for dummies" and "IRC for dummies", so look forward to them. They'll be ten times funnier I promise. Just as good as the last step even!

I'm not blaming you, fenrir, I just think it's crazy how bad Diablo89 is at this.

Shew, now I know it wasnt I you were talking about, heh. As any constolation, there are plenty of dummies out there... Why are you looking at me?... Neutral This thread could probobly be closed now because any other comments would be something else like -thanks again, Fen-Cool idea, Fen-Cool wall paper, Fen! All of those mentioned by us already. Please come up with a list of complements for dummies. Big grin We need that as well.

PS: CP for dummies series! Cool idea, Fen!

Peace out.

Today we're going to cover how to post. First click on the appropriate button called 'reply to post'. After a while, this screen will pop up with a text area for you to write in:



Second, write something. Something that should express your opinions as best as you can write them. Be poetic. Be intelligent. Put lots of thought into your post. The following example is acceptable:



Now you can't write ANYTHING you want. Be sure to use good {s}grammer{/s} and proper punctuation in your post. Also refrain from writing anything that's clearly meant to start a fight, such as the following:



What a terrible post! Not only is it completely unintelligable, but it also neglected to use any emoticons! Emoticons are an acceptable means of adding in emotion to your post, so people know you aren't a heartless robot or evil spammer! Use lots of Emoticons to show you're not a mindless newbie! Then other members will love you!



If your screen doesn't look like this after you've finished writing your post, you've clearly done something wrong, and people will not like you:



Now press the submit button located at the bottom of your post. And wait a few tenths of a second. You should see the page start to load. Now QUICKLY hit either F5 or Refresh in your browser window about 5 or 6 times to make sure it posted. You know it's posted when your desktop should look similar to this with the loading bar filling up.



This concludes this week's episode of CP for dummies.

I can only imagine how reviewing for dummies will look... OMFG! THA WUD BE SOOOO FNY!11111 Hehe. Anyways, Fen, you are bettering the community and helping the nonintelligent people do better. And whenever you do the review one, it will possibly make our review list have new authors. Hehe. OMG... That will be great.
