How to handle locators if not hosting to Maniapark?

[knaveskye]

Hi all, I have tried using both file Den and drop box and using the URL they provide with no success. Can someone tell me exactly what files must be in the zip and what ones cannot, as well as if it matters if the name of the zip has spacing. For example I have a Section 8.zip, inside is Horn.ogg, icon.dds and skindiffuse.dds. In the same folder, I have Section 8.zip.loc, which contains only the URL for the file on Dropbox. Where am i failing the process?

When you tried to download from Fileden does it say something about a private file? If so you need to make the file public.

Dropbox confirmed for locators working well!

Ok, i might have found the issue, will have to test when i get home. Ive been naming my locator file "File.zip.loc", but it was already a locator file. So it was really "File.zip.loc.loc". Im going to rename them to just "File.zip" and see what happens.

Confirmed here as well. And 10GB/day for free accounts is plenty of traffic.

Configure Windows to show file extensions (the option you're looking for is called "Folder Options" IIRC).
