well, i always make de .ya file on my home pc, and then upload the .ya file to Packages dir.

I never upload the files that "created" the package

If you're talking about a mod file editor, "Yet Another Mod Editor" is pretty nice. Check it out at the downloads over at BoardMod.

To the best of my knowledge, at the present time there are only 5 commands that the Package Manager responds to and they are:
<file></file> - selects the file to work with
<search></search> - search for the text defined in the search parameter
<add></add> - add after what <search> found
<replace></replace> - replace what <search> found
<before></before> - add before what <search> found

Basically the steps you follow to write a package file are simple.  Lets say you want to modify 2 different files and you want to add 2 things to each file.  The format you would follow is:
1 - <file>name of file #1</file>
2 - <search>the text line you want to modify</search>
3 - <add>adds text after the search string</add>
     <Before>adds text before the search string</before>
     <replace>replaces text that the search string found</replace>
4 - <file>name of file #2</file>
now you would do the same as in steps 2 & 3

Best thing for you to do is to look at any package file in your packages directory and you bet get a better understanding of what I am trying to explain to you.

DUR!!!!!!

I know how to make the .MOD file, I want to make a .YP file!

Cos I have a .mod file, a .php file and a .txt file, and I dont know how to add them into 1 file, I dont understand the numbers after

^dir/packages[sommat]235894598356
^^^^^^^^^^^^^      ^^^^^^^^^^
Not entirely correct         How does it decide this?

So could some1 tell me how to make the .yp files?

*Sigh*.. At the moment I wouldn't really use PackMan. Matt really messed it up lol. It's super faulty. But anyway, use any numbers you like, and to make any file just use this, renaming the .php file of course:

Code Select Expand

dir|^|Sources
file|^|Sources/MyMod.php|^|896|^|1009249195


[Dataforce]

so its just a random number?

How come when I changed the contents or my Modification.txt, it didn't recognise it any more, it just decided not to extract it...

[Big P]

Code Select Expand

dir|^|Packages
file|^|Packages/modification.mod|^|13641|^|1011576039
Use this then! Remember to use the making of new files the last thing you do. That might bring about a problem ortherwise...
