I might post this in the brag board, nobody ever looks here.

I keep trying to get files on the DB using SM package exporter but I'm not sure how to go about it. Help?

[kommisar[os]]

get winrar

[atalkingcow]

Omg, ewww dont winrar it!!

Nothing annoys me more than when someone rars it!

Just go to...

Start>
Allprograms>
Stepmania>
Stepmania tools and packages exporter>
Create package>
Songs>
Check the songs you want to put on the DB
Click "export as individual"

Enjoy your smzip-ed files. ^_^

Although, it will take a bit if you do multiple songs at once, and there is no loading bar, so just be patient.

wtf are you talking about, winrar is the best for this
rarlab.com

it is extremely easy to use, it's 100% free, and yea, it's the simplest and best way to go.

also wtf is sm package exporter lmfao

That exporter crap must be new...

Dude, on most comps jyst right-click and select send to>zipped folder

The end. Really easy.

And winrar isnt free, there is a free demo tho

[masamursha]

yea it actually is free

it is supposedly a "demo" but my 40 day trial has lasted for almost a year now lol.

so much for being a demo

[[TeRa]]

the demo lasts forever, you just get a message everytime you open it after the 40 days are up, deal with it, its the best program ever, i love it.

get it now.

[MixMasterLar]

my 40 days hasnt been up yet so I didnt know lol

and zip ftw baby, who cares what's better more people use zip on here

[shad0wlord]

With winrar open:

1) options> settings
2) Compression
3) Create Default (in compression files)
4) ZIP (in archive format)

If people would just bother to use the damned sm package exporter, the songs would be in .smzip format, and would automatically unzip and install themselves. But noooooooo, you all have to be ignorant.

*leaves*
