I just made my first NewGRF, and now I would like to upload it to https://bananas.openttd.org/manager/new-package. So I created a .tar file containing my .grf file and a license.txt file, I uploaded the .tar file under "Upload files", I filled out all the relevant fields under "Complete the description", and then I clicked "Publish", but when I clicked "Publish", I get an error saying "Expecting at least a single file defining the Content Type". How do I fix this error?

OK, I figured out what was wrong. To upload the file, I had to click on the "Add" button, not just select it using the "Choose files button".

Sorry about the confusing UI / UX ..

People keep promising us that they will make it better, but we have yet to see the Pull Requests that do If anyone reading this wants to make that UI better, pplllleeeeaaaasssseeee do. It is just some simple HTML with some really simple Javascript atm, so it isn't difficult to pick up where our limits of webdesign ended

That's the way, the HTML form element for file upload works. Step 1 is to choose one (or more) file(s) for upload and step 2 is to upload it/them. Without reinventing the wheel in JS a file upload works that way on every website. And besically that's good because one can by accident have chosen the wrong file, maybe one wants to upload several files at once and not one after the other.

But, at least, there may be ways to make it more comprehensible how it worksa and what to do.

Tschö, Auge
