Bug Games needing supporting media

The game is not loading
"Yeti Pentathlon"

Well this game is not loading and I think that more games could have the same issue so I am just reporting it

That looks like an ibp game tar that has been zipped! If you gave it the tar, it should read that.

Did you zip it, or was it like when you downloaded it from that site?

I just tried that game, and it will not load, but it loads on my IPB arcade, all I got from the site is the tar

Right; the vbarcade ibproarcade importer is looking for a tar, not a zip.

Now, parsing the file uploads is tricky, because of the many possible formats people might try, but i only want to support that if that is an officially-received state of a game - although its not hard to unzip it first before sticking it in the upload folder.

I imported the game_yetitourYL.tar
But to upload it here I had to make it a .rar or .zip

Could it have something to do with the way that game is handled, when you click on play on IPB, it asks for language, English or Deutch, then it asks for a nickname

Ah okay! should have mentioned that first then ill try it as a tar then lol

This is what I was thinking first but I don't know it would depend how it's coded

Oh Sorry

Hm, its full of all kinds of junk in the gamedata folder. Like 8 swfs and an xml. what a mess. Hate having to dump all that somewhere. Well, confirmed i guess.

It should do this in the next version - reimport everything, they will update whats missing.

got this game to import, play, and score completely on local version
