How to get Mods to Work

Outcast161 · 09-22-2002, 01:27 PM

I've recently been downloading many different mods but I dont know how to get them into my game. Any help would be much appreciated.

put them in your gamedata folder. make a folder up.( say jo ) put the mod in there when you go in your game go in settings-mods and file name jo will be there. you have to make a new file all the time you download a mod. some mods dont need a new file the already have a file of there own.

Every thing what Jedi Outcast said is true but first step is to look in the readmy.txt file- it is always help...

I always do that and my mod's always work greate. :P

yeah look in read me first.

it is best to put them in gamedata folder. so when you want to play with a new mod you dont have to delete it and put in a new one.

NEVER put a mod in your base directory,

and also makesure each mod directory has a description.txt with the mod's name in it so taht it will appear in the setup menu

There should only be one GameData folder.

C:\Program Files\Lucasarts\Star Wars...\GameData

Is the default location I believe.

Inside of the gamedata folder there is one called base, that's the one thats not supposed to have mods in it. So if you are installing the dark forces mod, you would make a new folder called darkforces inside GameData, and then put the stuff in there.

mods go in GameData not base. yes this is true. unless its a stand-alone pk3 file (like a single skin or model) in which case it DOES belong in base, and you can just move it out of the base folder when you dont feel like using it...

What mods are you using?

The final structure should look like:

JA install folder/GameData/Mod folder/a .pk3 file

In the mods list look for the mod with the name of the mod folder.
