I'd like to upload more than one zip file for a UI, how do I do this?

you can upload files as patches or add-ons that will show up on your main UI .. if that helps ?

Ah, so those become add-ons to the add-on. It seemed to throw me back to the normal upload-an-add-on so I got a bit confused.

Edit: I must be missing something here, all I get is 'A preview image is required for this category but was not attached.'.
All I want to do is have an optional version with preset values for 1440x900, not upload something that needs an image.

as far as i can remember you can't upload an addon for an addon.

best way is to include different versions in your main zip file imo.

you can just include the different .xml's and then guide people to rename them accordingly (rename XXXres.xml into Skindefinition.xml etc)

other way is to make sub folders for different SkinDefinition.xml modifications and they will all show up in-game skin menu.

I don't remember but think add-on's needs jpeg and the patches don't need any jpeg to by pass the system requirement from lotrointerface system checks.

You must include a jpeg,this is whats telling you about the preview error.

That's why I now include a low quality jpeg in every zip I upload,but like I said I don't remember if patches catagory needs jpeg's.

What you need to do is go to your main UI then use the "upload addon" option that is in small text under the big download button on the right hand side. :)

All right, that's what I tried early but I got a bit confused when it needed an image. Thanks!
