Importing a game from zip file to Editor - Internal Zip Structure Error
prajwal.be.21

Hey Gio,

I'm getting this message when I try to import a zip file into the editor. Since I lost my projects in local editor, I was trying to get the zip file I got (while downloading source code) on to the editor but there is an error with following message: 

Unable to import pongoal.wade: project name does not match internal zip structure.

Trouble is I'm just providing the same zip i got from donwload/source code from the editor and it still shows this error. Also same happens when I try to use wade editor from your online portal.

If you can help me with this then I'd be great, Gio.

Hi prajwal

I'll quote what it says in the editor under "Import Zip File":

A valid project ZIP file for projectName must be called projectName.zip and must contain, in its root, a folder called projectName. Additionally, the root of the ZIP may contain a file called projectName.wade

I'm guessing that the above conditions aren't met in your case? Like you have a project called myProject but the zip file is not called myProject.zip?

Hey Gio,

The project name matches and in the zip file, it has a folder (with our assets and code) and a .wade file, both named with the project name we provided to the editor when starting off...

 

I have unzipped these files and played them on localhost but when uploading project's .zip file back to editor, this error shows. This zip file I got from download/ source code.

@Krumza, do you have the same issue?

Gio

If you can send me the zip I could see what's wrong

Cool, attaching the zip folder here.

Ah I see... thanks for sending the zip, I have managed to reproduce the problem and will add a fix for the next release.

As a temporary workaround, I think if you remove the .wade file from the root of zip, it should probably work. But you may need to reload the editor after importing.

Sorry about this, I will get it fixed asap.

Thanks Gio! Got it working just fine after following the steps you provided. Cheers!
