Letting people download levels

How do you do it??? I was wondering where you go to make your level downloadable.

When I want to put something in download, I go to Mediafire, which is a site where you can put downloads. There are many other sites for this thing, and I recommend you to use Mediafire, Sendspace or Dropbox.
Please DO NOT use 4shared.

If you are completly done with your level and tested multiple times, make a ZIP file out of your level folder with custom graphics and music. Then upload it for example either MediaFire or SendSpace.

MediaFire Link: http://www.mediafire.com/

Sendspace Link: http://www.sendspace.com/

If you upload those files completly, copy the link if you see one and then paste it to your new post where everyone can download your level from your topic message.

It's not weird it's shit because it forces people to register.

Basically Dropbox is pretty good same with Mediafire and Sendspace but Mega also is nice.

Sendspace and Mediafire are horrible.

Sendspace's files expire after thirty days, while Mediafire has excessively long downloading times.

I would recommend DropBox.

Sendspace only does that if no one downloaded in those days they delete it then because they free up space again.

And Mediafire doesn't have long downloading times just your PC can't handle it.

I also recommend DropBox, but I can't see the problem with MediaFire. I've never problem with it

Yes, always. Also don't double post.

The report button will suffice, Christian. No need to backseat moderate.

I didn't double post. It was probably a glitch.

Postby **Shadow Yoshi** » Fri Jun 13, 2014 11:31 am

You did double post. Take a look at the last two posts of the first page.

Oh sorry

Yes. Is this a problem?

Also, I still recommend DropBox over Mediafire, but of course, it's entirely your decision.

No you don't have to most people just upload their stuff there without. A account only makes it that you always have them there like on the computer.

No I was just wondering.

EDIT: I uploaded it but it came out as a notepad file containing all of the levels code.

I still need help!

The following level name I'm going to use is just an example.

Do you have a file named "Goomba Garden"?
In that file, do you have "Goomba Garden.lvl"?
In that file, do you have your optional MP3 soundtrack?
In that file, do you have your optional custom graphics?

All of these things are required to be in the same file.

And where did you upload it? (I assume Mediafire, though.)
