Dear all, I am trying to run an experiment on Multitasking abilities and therefore using the Cued-switching paradigm and a Multitasking one. For that, I am using the already built Psytoolkit experiments ( Multitasking and Cued Tasks Switching Paradigm). However, there are some screens (mainly from the instructions) from which I would like to change some text, like in the one attached, in which it says both 'press space to continue' and 'press q to start the experiment', but only the 'q' will lead you to the start of the experiment. Therefore, I would like to remove the last line 'press space to continue'. What I tried in order to achieve that was to modify the picture in the 'stimuli' folder, keep the same name, then rezip the whole folder of the 'experiment' and then upload that zip file to Psytoolkit when creating a new experiment. However, for some reason that did not work and I got the error 'This zip file did not come with a .psy file! Therefore, this is empty'. But I did not change anything else, and the .psy file is still there... Do you have any idea why is this happening? Or if there would be any other option to modify a file in the stimuli folder? Is there maybe a problem in a way I 'zipped' the folder? Does that need to happen in a specific way? Thank you!!

Hi there, Question : when you open your newly zipped file, what do you see ? One folder with the name of your experiment or all the files of your experiment including the .psy file ? - If you see only folder with the name of your experiment, it's because you zipped the wrong folder. You have to zip the files of your experiment, not the folder that contains those files.
<-- Zip in one file all the files that are in the same folder than code.psy (the number and the name of those files may vary according to your experiment), and not the folder called "My experiment" in my case.
- If you actually see the files of your experiment, including the code.psy, check for every typo that you may have left. Otherwise I don't know...
But why not just uploading your new picture in the experiment rather than downloading/uploading the whole experiment ?
