I'm not quite sure what you're asking. It looks like you're asking if that is the correct URL to put into the field where you are trying to upload it. If that is the case, you're not supposed to do it that way. In spot in the admin panel where you upload games, you are supposed to browse to where you have the files on your own hard drive, not where they can be found on the internet. The script is set up to actually uplaod them from your computer. We have not added in the capability to go out and download the files from another website just yet. Something we are working towards, but not gotten done yet.


Adam has been hard at work adding in a new feature for 2.1, and that took a backseat. It might be a while before we get that added in. Sorry, but this new feature is something we feel is far more valuable to the script, and it is grinding along rather slow. It required a major recoding of the whole script. It does not change the flow much, but it did require major changes in the way it was worded, and a hefty increase in the number of files to accomplish it. It's so big that even after we release it, it will probably take months to fully get it done because it will take member help in areas that we can't finish. Don't worry, peeps won't need to help code, but it pertains to something else we will need help with. I've probably already said too much though lol. My original point though was that it probably will be a while before we get it coded into the script to be able to tell it "here's a URL, go get it" the way it sounds like you're trying to do.

If that is not what you're atempting to do, please explain so that my just now waking up brain can grasp please?

Wait a min, the pre uploaded games? Again, not something you get off another site for that selection either. That means games you have uploaded to your own server via FTP rather than through the admin panel of the script. In that case, you only put the name of the file, not the URL to it on your server. You will also need to enter the height and width as those are not automatically sensed for preuploaded games.
