i need help

okay so i wanna post a demo in the showcase buuuuttt i can't find a place to turn your folder into a zip so i can drop it in mediafire

 

Have you considered: googling

 

very much so

 

You CAN put the folder in a zip folder. But I'll never tell.

 

can you please just tell me

 

Okay, have you tried working the shaft?

 

i don't know what the shaft is

 

Right click anywhere -> New -> ZIP archive
Something like that?
Then you could drop stuff into the archive.

sorry i'm new i know a lot about computers but i have no idea how to transfer it to a zip folder and also i have a laptop so right clicking for some reason does not work

 

It's a mac. They don't have right click. Do the thing that changes what the mouse does in some games. Or Google it.

I think you may be overestimating your capabilities

 

I don't have a mac computer so I don't know, but apparently command+clicking does the same as what right-clicking would?

 

It's control+click.
At least the default is on every mac.

Also what you need to do on mac is a little different from windows but really it's something so simple I'm suprised you didn't know about it.
Right click the folder and click the option for "compress folder" and that's honestly all you have to do.

 

sorry i didn't know the correct keys i can't believe i've had a mac for 7 years and never heard of it

You aren't allowed to call yourself computer knowledgable and never hear of the Macintosh "Right-Click". If you missed this fundamental of computing, I don't think modding is for you.

As a Mac user myself who works in this scene, I can safely say you're gonna have a bad time.
- You probably don't have the setup to run windows .exes, which means either you aren't testing or you are planning to post only the OSX port, this won't get you anywhere.
- You have to find and use an external Zipper Application outside the system one to exclude the Mac Resource forks in your .zip files, these are invisible to macs but show up in windows as dump files that will completely confuse anyone extracting your file.
- Paint programs for Mac suck. I have yet to find something that can work as well as paint.net (which turns out to be the only non-native program I can't run so far).

It's possible to be an above-normal modder using only a Mac, I'm the living proof, but you on the other hand show proof that it's too much an undertaking. Don't take this as a personal insult, it's just a warning of the additional challenges.
