I am having difficulty creating my own .ftl files. When I download them or create them in Superluminal and patch them in GMM, they work just fine, but if I do the following for say ship.ftl:
-rename ship.ftl to ship.zip
-unpack ship.zip to ship
-compress ship to ship.zip
-rename ship.zip to ship.ftl
-patch ship.ftl with GMM
then it doesn't work and I get the following message GMM:
"Warning:Unsupported folder: ship"
I tried this trick suggested in another thread where you apply the command
zip -d ship.zip __MACOSX/\*
but it didn't resolve the problem. Any ideas about what is going wrong in this process?

Perhaps this is because you're packing the "ship" folder itself, instead of its contents. An .ftl package should contain two folders: one named "data", and the other named "resources". Anything other than that won't get recognized by GMM.

Haha, yep. These stupid mistakes are killing me. Thanks again.
