.wsz format

KayNine · 14th April 2001, 16:49

OK now I have a skin for which my friend said is quite cool.He wants to put it on his site but I still have to convert to .wsz format.Now according to the help thing at Winamp.com you have to zip the whole thing and rename .wsz I tried but I couldn't get to work.Any ideas?

1) download wizip.
2)collect skin files, and save them in winzip as a zip file.
3)Go to start menu -> setting and click on folder options.
4)click the view tab at the top.
5)Look for the box that says 'Hide file extensions for known file types' Make sure it is unchecked.
6)locate your zipped skin
7)either right click, and choose rename, or single left click on the filename itself.
8)rename you file to 'whateveryouwant.wsz'
9)submit to winamp.com

ROFLMAO

*chuckle* I'm not gonna make fun of it; only thing is, if I'd made it, I'd charge 10 bucks to download it. Mike'd be rollin in dough.

Well thanks guys,I lost a bit of interest,lost a little more and then I regained some so I finished it.Thanks a million for all your help and sorry for waiting 6 months to show my appreciation.Since I'm here and you seem to know what to do,how do I submit.I think you go to winamp.com and go to skins and then submit.Am I right?

Thanks again

PS Visit 10-David.com for SWAT3 stuff and to see my skin before it reaches Winamp.com.On second thought,don't :-)

The Only Lynx · 30th June 2001, 11:26

ok, youre forgiven

ampburner · 30th June 2001, 12:26

about .wsz... wouldn't it be nice if AVS presets distributed with the skin (placed inside the wsz) would be automatically extracted to the ...winamp\plugins\avs\skinname folder when the skin is first loaded?

Oh well....NS are busy enough, I know. Just my $0.02

Wildrose-Wally · 30th June 2001, 12:35

That can be done if you PiMP the file with the AVS presets in a "Skin Pack", but than you would have to submit through plugins, as it would be an *.exe file

ampburner · 30th June 2001, 12:38

and nobody would download a skin from the plugins section

pimping skin for my website would by a good idea on the other hand

Doggy Dog · 30th June 2001, 18:41

I include presets with my skins.

Wildrose-Wally · 30th June 2001, 19:22

A lot of people do that, the problem is to get them installed in the right file while during installation of your skin. I'll see if I can send you a sample by email.

BTW, help me out please:
