Problems loading my project :(

I literally downloaded the zip "Localization kit" from the game page, and among all the files, I only switched "text_translated.lua" and "text_credits.lua" to the actually translated ones, and it keeps saying :

There was a problem loading your project:

flate: corrupt input before offset 6

Please try deleting the ZIP file and uploading another one.

 This is my first LocJam and after translating everything, I came to a point where I have no clue what am I doing wrong. Please, if anyone can tell me what I need to do after finishing the translation of those two files,  "text_translated.lua" and "text_credits.lua",  I would love that. Thank you so much. ♡

"flate" is a compression issue - how do you create your ZIP file?

Please consider using 7zip.org

I just did that! Thank you, but now even though there is no "error" message, i just get a black screen when trying to run the game.

Now you have to look at code errors, have you used the tool to check your syntax? https://sellaroli.com/apps/nem-translation-tool/

Omg!! I feel so stupid for not having use that tool earlier, it actually was a syntax error, now it is working! Thank you so so so much :D

hey, may I know how did you realize it was a syntax error? I am having the same issue when trying to upload my file.

when you use the Sellaroli tool errors will display with a red warning square in the margin!

Thank you, Gnou. I noticed it is not that, then. What else could it be? Currently, I just have this interesting black background.

There are a few issues that happen with files: did you unzip the whole kit to work with the files (you cannot upload a password-protected zip)? did you recreate the game.zip file when you changed the sprites? did you remove the unzipped game folder from your files? did you make sure you didn't have several subfolders in the main zip file?

(+1)

1: yes, I unzipped it and then zipped it again without password. 2. We didn't modify the sprites. But should I unzip game.zip anyway? 3. Which one is the unzipped game folder (the one from question 2?) 4. I'll try removing the ones I find.

There is a game.zip file inside the not-enough-time-LocJam-103.zip file - it contains among other things 1 image which is part of the game's plot. You don't have to unzip it, but you will need to write around it (in reference to the album title in t[196]) although that wouldn't get in the way of finishing the game.

When you zip up again the main folder let's say [not-enough-time-LocJam-103], the first folder you see should be [not-enough-time-LocJam-103], and in it are the game files - if there is any other layer it will break the game.

PS: if you keep having issues please consider making your game files available so I could look at them directly!

Hello! Have you dealt with the issue? Because I have the same problem(

Also, you cannot upload a password-protected zip file to itch. You must unzip the kit, edit it an then zip it back again.

Didn't think that, thank you! but as I said in the other comment, now my problem is that I keep getting a black sreen.

Hello, dear locJAM team. Will the translation be checked if I send only zip file (because I failed make a link).

I'm confused, checked by whom?

Just edit your submission, you still have plenty of time :)

Hi, our team is also having issues loading up our project , I couldn't find any syntax errors in our .lua file, but I might be missing something as I don't really know anything about code. Anyone know what could be causing this?

there could be many issues - please post your zip file!

Thank you for your reply! It's public now

Your game files are not attached to the project - I only see the page.

(+1)

Sorry about that! I think a teammate has contacted you in our behalf.

I'm sorry, but can someone help me with this problem. I tried a lot of things and i can't find what's wrong. The first time i uploadedm i had a black sreen and now this.

There was a problem loading your project:

No file provided to embed

Learn more about HTML5 games or edit your project to add a file

looks like there's no file... try reuploading again!

(+1)

thank you for answering. I did reupload it several times and now i have 2 submissions and they are both not working.

are you still getting the "No file provided to embed" error or is it a black screen?

(+1)

i changed the file and now it's black screen with a big red cross. It's just hard for me to understand which submission i am editing. I noticed that i uploaded rar file. ANd now i uploaded zip and have black screen with red cross

I think you are using the wrong format - make sure for "Kind of project" you pick HTML game

and yes it should only be ZIP archive

(+1)

I checked it. I do have it. I chose html game

ok I have never seen the red cross error so I'm not sure what it means... can you set the Kind of Project to "downloadable" and send me the link?

(+1)

done. thank you

ok you had a few syntax errors and forgot to zip the game.zip file but this works! https://drive.google.com/file/d/1M2k5p0aeiO2IVxL7PXOqc-wHt4YLc0tz/view?usp=shari...
