I am working on my first texture pack right now. The only problem is that when I try to pick it on the texture pack selection screen in Minecraft, I just get the default texture pack picture (the pack.png) and with no pack description, And when I use it it's just the default textures.
This doesn't just happen when I edit the textures, if I take a texture pack the worked normally before, unarchive it, and compress it, the same thing happens.
Does anyone else have this problem or know what to do?
I'm 90% positive what is happening is that it is creating a folder inside the zip file, and then inside that folder is the texturepack stuff. I've had this problem using 7zip. If you're using 7zip, open up the folder for your texturepack, select everything in it, right-click and select "add to [foldername].zip" instead of zipping the folder itself. I hope that makes sense. Assume that the gold brick is a folder, what you're getting is probably:
MY AWESOME PACK.ZIP
..... MY AWESOME PACK
.......... armor
.......... art
.......... environment
.......... etc
And what you want is:
MY AWESOME PACK.ZIP
..... armor
..... art
..... environment
..... etc

Edited my previous post to have a diagram of the directory structure of the zip file. Anyway, once you've made your zip file inside your texture pack's folder, then you can just move the zip file out of that folder and into your .minecraft\texturepacks\ folder and it should work fine.

Yeah, I am using 7zip. I'll try that, thanks.
Edit: It worked! thank you!
