Trying to upload a pack, but there is no option for the actual file the pack will use in the upload section.
I think this is a problem that needs fixing.

Heh, okay. I see.
A pack in a zipped folder is difficult to moderate since a moderator will unzip the folder to look into whatever files are there trying to check everything if each is worth approving before the whole pack in the zipped folder submitted by a user gets moderated. Too, much work for a moderator I guess. More so if the pack, in this type, has many resources inside it. Well, maybe if the file size is restricted.
I also think it will entail more work when a certain part of the pack is unacceptable, the user will need to remove the file manually, recreate the zip file, and upload. The same goes with adding new things to the pack...
While with the current set-up, you can easily add/remove files via button clicks in the update/manage page...
Do you think moderating stuff here is any different?
You get a zip file, download it, import its content and test it in-game.
OK, here's what I am thinking of for now. What about if while the user is uploading his stuff, he can choose any file type restricted to those used for warcraft 3,eg., blp and mdx file types. He must not be restricted to the number of files he will include in his pack. All of these stuff then, when uploaded, should all be placed in a zipped file or whatever to be downloaded as one pack.
EDIT:
Also, the individual files could be downloadable as it is.
My goal with this feature would be to make it easier for users with a huge resource pack to upload it without spending hours clicking at buttons.
