Title is a bit innacurate.

I want to provide you guys with my level thus far to sus out, criticise and tell me if I should stick with my day job (I don't actually intend on doing this as a job, but you get the idea I am sure.

I'm not going to bother learning to model actors if the majority of viewers find it a pointless endevour. If feedback is ok or encouraging then I will follow that path.

Forum has nothing regarding it. eBook explains software that is provided but unstable. Should I just Zip up my ACT, 3DT scripts, ini and sound?

Maintaining the direcory structure there are 17 files over 8 folders at a total of 14 MB. Should I just ZIp these modified and new files or should I package it. A Plus side to zipping is that if someone wanted to they could easily edit the level to see what I have done (wrong).

If you believe packaging it would be better is there a tutorial out there other than the ebook?

When I made my demo, I just deleted all unneeded files and Zipped the RealityFactory folder. I couldn't handle the RfPack also. :?

Use GameBuilder.exe in your reality factory tools folder.

The eBook which we all get directed to does not use it as it states it is somehow faulty. Is there a tut for it or will the appropriate doc suffice?

It was faulty when the e-book was written. It was fixed in the last release of RF v0.76.

Just read the manual (Getting Started -> Making a Demo). It's really not that difficult ...
