Hello everyone,

I’m having trouble installing a kit in ZIP format. I specified the following URL of the kit on GitHub in the “Dependencies” section of the `game.project` file in the Defold editor: [https://github.com/Dragosha/cards-fx-kit/archive/refs/heads/main.zip](https://github.com/Dragosha/cards-fx-kit/archive/refs/heads/main.zip). The kit is downloaded and saved as a ZIP file in the `.internal` directory, but it doesn’t appear in the editor, and I’m unable to access the kit’s contents.

Is there a specific process or setting I’m missing to correctly install and access the contents of this ZIP dependency in Defold?

Thank you in advance for your help!

that is because the zip file does not have the file game.project or if it has it does not define include dirs

Thank you for the response!

The ZIP file does contain a `game.project` file, but I noticed some issues with file extensions within it. Specifically, some files in `game.project` are named with extensions like `.collectionc` instead of `.collection` and `.renderc` instead of `.render`. Could this be the cause of the problem, or is it normal for these files?

Thank you for any further clarification!

This project is not intended to be used as a dependency. Just download it and open it as a game. If you want to insert something into your game from it, just copy it to your project.
