here's the Deployment sub if you want to do more browsing for answers: http://forums.rpgmakerweb.com/index.php?/forum/143-rpg-maker-mv-deployment/ 
It looks like you might be able to get it to work by copy pasting the remaining files into the new folder. Though I'm not too sure since I haven't done this myself. 


Another thing you could do is upload it onto a server and let people play it online & through the web browser: 
Create a Dropbox account. Upload all your project files and folders into your Dropbox -> Public Folder. 
From there you can get the public link for your game and use that link to play the game through the web browser. 
This will only work if you're only allowing very little people to play your game, ie friends and family since Dropbox will ban your account for too much bandwidth activity. 
 

Here's what I mean:

Spoiler

Orange -- If you want to upload through your browser without installing Dropbox to your PC. 
Yellow -- If you have the Dropbox program on your PC then make sure you copy all the files into the Public folder.
AFTER you upload the files you need to hit [sHARE] and get the public link for the Index/HTML file. 
Use the link to the index.html to play your game.

I've moved this thread to MV Deployment. Please be sure to post your threads in the correct forum next time. Thank you.


You also need to tell us what device you want to deploy to if we are to help you.


That said, a lot of cases where deployment fails is if you included filenames with illegal characters - windows accepts a lot of letters in filenames that are forbidden for most networking systems, like spaces and a lot of special signs.


Check if any of your resources contains such an illegal filename and if yes, rename it.

Thank you Andar! I had to fix some file names.
