Mods? Maps? Need some help

That's probably because most people don't think of the zip file as the mod. The mod is the dm file contained within the zip, so it is true that you only have to put the mod in the Mod directory.

Only for very simple mods. Any mod with graphics will need to have its dependencies extracted as well (i.e. any subfolders in the mod).

If he is using the default winXP extraction utility and using the method that I have described, it will automatically retain the directory structure.

Thanks guys for hanging with me....

I think I was confused about the extraction portion of the mod.

I have played other games EU3,MTW,RTW ect and the mods you just extracted from desktop and they where listed seperate.

So I was really confused because I knew just enough to not understand (if that makes any sense).

BTW what is a Rar file? I know what a zip is.

Thanks agian!!
