For one, please get into the habit of typing in proper English. You're in a forum, not a hostage situation. You have all the time in the world to post.

As for your problem: first, you need to save your project to an archive file. That is, a pk3 or a WAD. You could just run that zip you uploaded, but it's considered better form to save zipped projects with the .pk3 file extension. Second, your sprites must be in a folder labelled "sprites". They can be in any subfolder of that folder, though. In a WAD, they should be between the "SS_START" and "SS_END" marker lumps.

Using archives is the most fundamental part of modding. You might want to start at the beginning. Figure out how to properly use your archive-editing utility (SLADE), and read the wiki pages on [wiki=WAD]wads[/wiki], [wiki=PK3]pk3s[/wiki], and [wiki=Namespace]archive namespaces[/wiki].

Seriously?!

Dang, why didn't anybody tell me that earlier D:

[phill447]

[Sonnyboy]

Asshole.

[InsanityBringer]

what?

[NeuralStunner]

Menial worker.

... Oh. I thought this was a "declare your occupation" game. (I was a bit confused by InsanityBringer saying he's a "what".)

[wildweasel]

Asshole.

Was this necessary?

[Xaser]

Asshole.

The key to responding to a "WHAT"-inducing post is being funny. The humor seems to have sailed over my head or sank into the ground this time, one of the two.

Also, take your pick.

[Sonnyboy]

Asshole.

Was this necessary?

No, it wasn't really necessary. Still, I don't see why I should be expected to withhold contempt any more than any user here, especially when it's toward a new guy being a total dillhole to people trying to help him.
And I obviously wasn't trying to be funny. =P

Because as a longstanding member you should set a good example?

[Sonnyboy]

Okay, look, the last thing I want to be is disagreeable, but with that post it seems to me that you're putting some special responsibility on me. Mr. Darkfox, for example, is a longer standing member than I am, and while he's been quite a bit nicer lately, I wouldn't say that he even remotely serves as an example for how new members should act (regarding his tendency to whale idiots).

And he has one warning to his credit when said behavior was taken too far. We as a community do not hold double-standards.

[Sonnyboy]

No offense, but I don't see what that has to do with this.
I wouldn't classify calling him an asshole with "GET THE FRAK OF MY GODZDAMN FORUM", and I never said that if I were to explode in a way such as PDF I wouldn't deserve or expect a warning. I don't think that "randomly lashing out at a newbie" is the same as calling him an asshole, if he's going to act like one.

[InsanityBringer]

Look, if you didn't like his tone there are many many more things you could have said which actually made sense in the context. But just going headfirst in and calling him an asshole is going a bit too far.

(for the record, I do not support PDF's "Get the fuck off of my forum!" at all, and it really irks me when people say "oh, I don't mind it at all. I kinda like it")
