Help Building WIG Cartridge

[+MindlessEngine]

Hello,

I have a few homemade WIG cartridges using Wherigo//Kit.

It's been a little while since I've done this & I just finished making another one.

The issue I've run into now is that when I build the cartridge on Wherigo//kit, it is a "lua" file.

I need it to be "gwz" & "zip" in order to upload it to Wherigo.com.

Does anyone know how to do this?

I've found a way in the past, but I can't figure out how exactly I did that.

Thanks!

I moved this thread from the Geocaching Topics forum section.

Figured out the issue.

Works great if anyone else runs into this issue!

You can also make ZIP, GWZ , or GWC in Wherigo kit. After logging in, click on your profile in the top right and then choose one of the "Cartridges I Own" to create a file.

Forest-Ghost is right.  I have a few options in Kit for downloading the cartridge: ZIP, GWZ, and GWC.  You'll need either of the first two to upload to Groundspeak's Wherigo site.  The last one is for loading directly to a Wherigo player app.  Don't extract the lua file from the ZIP and attempt to upload it to the Wherigo site.  (The GWZ is just a ZIP file, but with the file extension renamed per the way the Wherigo site preferred it.)
