While trying to contribute an install.xml for this: 

After submitting the install.xml and testing the download, the LML downloader unzipped all the files in the same folder rather than the structure that is available when you use download, or even when you use the LML downloader just to download the files without installing it. Any reason why this would happen?

Thanks for reporting, this looks like a bug in the new LML merge service for the website and not LML itself. I'm taking a look and I'll let you know when we have an update.

@mockdotThis issue should be fixed; but let me know if you are still having this issue.

Works well now, thank you!

The other issue I am running into now, is that I am testing different install.xml builds and uploading them to see if I can get them to work the best way possible, although after using the "edit" feature to update the install.xml and try to download again to test the changes made, I keep receiving this:

Hey mockdot,

Thanks for contributing LML install.xml files, your efforts are highly appreciated and have uncovered some bugs in our merging system. Basically, when you upload an install.xml, our system makes a new file behind the scenes and merges your install.xml into it. Whilst this looks easy, it's slightly complicated by the fact that the origin file can be any archive format (zip,rar,7z,etc) and our system has to handle that.

I'm currently performing some maintenance to fix some of the issues uncovered.

Glad I could be of help! It looks like it's working stable now since the last few minutes I've been testing.

Is there a possiblity to add several index.xml for resources that have several .zips? I saw at the beginning I could select which .zip I wanted to make the install.xml for, but once that is created it did not allow me to create it for the other. For example for addon and another for replace options.

Right now there's two limitations, one you've just identified as well as the fact that right now the filesize is limited to 512MB due to a limitation on how we're sending the files back. I'm working on overcoming this limit and managed to pinpoint that as causing errors earlier. I'm hoping to fix this tonight, as the fix should be relatively easy.

 

I will have another look at some of the website code to see how difficult allowing multiple install.xml's for 'subfiles' on the same download/file pages. I think this was engineered so this could be added later, but I will have to take a look at that and get back to you.

Thank you, that sounds great. Trying to teach people to use LML more and make their mods install easier.
