[HELP] I Need Assistance With Importing Mod Folders To PokeMMO

[Donoduzit]

Im having trouble importing mod folders to PokeMMO. When I try to import certain mods they show up as folders, when I click choose it opens the folder wanting me to select a certain document (which is greyed out) and not the entire mod folder. I am a MAC/iOS user and have only come up with this problem with mods that show as a folder rather than a document. Is there any way to fix this issue or am I out of luck. I would really like to complete my list so I can get back to enjoying the game. Can anyone help please, thank you.

 

Ive been able to import:

• PokeMMO Gen 5 Follower Mod
• Sparkling Shiny Follower
• DS Trainers
• Music Overhaul
• HD PokeMMO Items
• Gen 5 HD Battle Sprites
• Monster Icon Mods

 

PokeMMO not allowing me to import:

• Mega Evolution
• Z-Moves Mod 
• PokeMMO 3D Sprites Mod
• PokeMMO Encounter Counter Mod
• Kanto Graphics Patch
• HQ Pokemon Anime Cries
• Faster Strings
• HD Poke MMO Maps

HD Poke MMO Maps

this is old mod, dont work anymore

 

 

for the ones that work, there is a problem with MAC/iOS when zip files they create a new folder holding the files you zipped, for example, in order to a battle sprite mod to work the mod.zip need to have inside the folder "sprites" and info.xml and the icon.png

exactly that

if you open your zip file and inside is a folder named "my mod" and inside the other ones, it wont work

and I saw when people zip with mac it create an upper folder and inside the files you compressed, if thats the case you cut them and paste a folder up, so when you open the mod.zip you instantly see those 3 files i told you

try that with the ones I told you that works

Im having trouble understanding your solution on how to fix the issue. You are correct when I download some zip files they automatically create a folder, containing a folder "sprites" and info.xml and the icon.png. Ive tried placing all items in one folder, this does not allow me to import due to the download being created as a folder and not one document. The other mods I have downloaded such as: 

• PokeMMO Gen 5 Follower Mod
• Sparkling Shiny Follower
• DS Trainers
• Music Overhaul
• HD PokeMMO Items
• Gen 5 HD Battle Sprites
• Monster Icon Mods

Comes as ONE "document" not a "folder" and allows me to import directly through PokeMMO. 

 

Is there any way to make the downloaded files transfer to a single document and not a folder?

This is the remaining list of Mods I'm not able to import to PokeMMO:

 

• Mega Evolution : AdamantSceptile
• PokeMMO 3D Sprites Mod: Battle Sprites Reloaded
• HQ Pokemon Anime Cries: High Quality Pokemon Anime Cries Gen 1-5
• PokeMMO Encounter Counter Mod: Gilan's Encounter Mod

Is there any way to make the downloaded file a single document (or zip file) and not a folder?

when you download, for example, adamant sceptile's mega evolution mod.

it already comes as a zip.

just don't unzip it and place the zip directly at the root of your mods folder.

 

you're probably confused because you understand what to do with .mod extensions, but not what to do with .zip extensions.

there are two valid mod formats:

.mod and .zip

they are basically interchangeable.

so just put the .zip into mods folder, as if it were a .mod file.

 

 

 

ps: gilan's mod is special, you should probably watch the instruction video on his thread.

Im using MAC/IOS  when I download it does not come as a zip it comes as a folder. Im not confused at all was just having technical difficulties. Was able to figure out the solution by clicking on folder selecting all files and just compressing the files under the folder into one .zip file. So when I click on the selected Mod Folder I want to Import in PokeMMO the folder I choose shows the compressed .zip file I created and lets me successfully import the mods. Thanks for the help but I got this G.

this will hard to explain because not just english not my first lenguage also im not a geek with all the correct terms

 

check this out:

 

your mod mandatory look like this when open it

 

if you are able to copy this form for all those other mods that dosnt work, in a .zip file, the mods will work, also of course dont forget to place them into the "mods" folder inside PokeMMO/data folder - then they will apear on the mod manager and you can just activate them

 

 

BUT

if your .zip file looks like this:

then it wont work

 

maybe try different zip methods, sorry I cant help you more because im not mac ios user and this info i have its only for recurrent errors i saw here on the forum

all this work tho

[JDChaos]

I googled iOS and zip files auto extracting.

The first post says this.

 

By default, the Safari browser is set to extract ZIP files and not save them. Here's how to change that: To disable the auto extraction of zip files, go to Safari, preferences. Under the general tab, uncheck the “open safe files after downloading” box. Close the preferences window.

 

If you don't use safari, try checking google. This is not a PokeMMO issue and can be solved much more in depth using the whole internet for information.

Also I wouldnt suggest you to mix different sprite mods between, they mostly not compatible between each other
