1) What are you including in the starter file?
2) Can you download the Starter File, open it, rename it and get it to work? 3) Are you seeing the file on the server? Where do your friends run into problems? Do the have Firewalls or Anti Virus programs running? Can they download the file? Is it the exact same file you uploaded? Can they open/extract/unzip the contents? Are the contents correct for what you uploaded? Where are they putting the file/folder on their computer? Is that the correct spot? Can they open the league? Does it show in the "Load Game" screen?

Okay going to try and answer these as best as I can
1) I just put what was in the tutorial. I can take a screenshot of the files that appear when downloaded if that helps 2) All that I know is it is possible to download the starter file 3) Yes they are finding the file on the server no problem, and they are downloading it no problem From what I can tell they download the same file that I upload. They cannot open the file however as it say something along the lines of Application not found (Not 100% sure). When it's downloaded we have just left it in the Downloads folder they cannot open the league at all and they cannot see it in Load Game, only when they go to browse and find it downloads Thank you for your help. |

Are you compressing the file? This is also called archiving and zipping.
Can you type th efile extensions? is it a .tar? .gz? .tar.gz? If you are compressing the file you need to ask your friends if they have a compression program. I use 7zip, it is free. Just google 7zip and you will find it. It sounds like you are zipping your files but they do not have a program that can extract the zipped files. That is my first guess.

It is a file or a folder?
Try OOTP17.lg move the period. If you are directly uploading that folder it is probably very large. 1) What is in the folder? 2) Do you now how to do screen shots? 3) If so, can you post a screen shot or type a list of the files in the folder? I put the .dat files (I think there are 14) and I put the settings folder in my manual uploads. The .dats basically are the league without images and some details. The settings folder had the GM and commissioner information. If you just include those files and folders your GMs can create the league on their computers. Once that is done you can worry about images.
