Default Re: Correct way to download and install user mods

OK they will be the simplest as usually they are just zipped up. It rare for a sceanrio designer to create and installation program for them unless there are quite a few.

You want to extract them to the Scenarios folder of the game. In some cases third party scenarios will use slot numbers already convered by the game itself. In that case exact them to the temp holding folder that is sub-folder of the scenarios folder first then look for an empty sceanrio slot then rename the files that have been extracted to the temp holding folder with the new slot number

For example you will typically see three files per sceanrio named like this

spscn323.cmt
spscn323.dat
spscn323.txt

If you decide slot 500 is free ( it will be for now ) then rename these to

spscn500.cmt
spscn500.dat
spscn500.txt

then move them to the main scenarios folder and you will be able to view them in the game
