The VG Resource

I believe I have found a bug.

For some reason, the site is refusing my .zip while stating that it only accepts .png, .gif, and .zip.

I thought I was displaying a debug message for that particular error but apparently, I was only doing so if the submission required a .zip file. I just adjusted the output to include that debug info here as well. Can you try it again and screenshot the error if it's still not working?

It now displays this when submitting my zip file.

Thanks! That message confirms my suspicion. It seems like you created a RAR archive and then changed the extension to .zip or for whatever reason, your archive software is using the RAR compression algorithm when creating zip archives. Either way, the server is rejecting it because the actual file format is incorrect despite the extension being right.

That's strange because I've been using WinRAR to create zip files for a while now... interesting. I guess the good old "Share -> Zip" option on Windows is what I'll try next. I'll be sure to report back if any more issues arise.

Thank you for your time, and have a great day!

WinRAR should be able to create proper zip files just fine but it’s been a very long time since I’ve used it so I’m not sure what’s going on here. Thanks for following up though!
