Newb Needs some help

[Vermel]

Goodafternoon.

 

I tried adding the chriz4_mod but it does not seem to work. I have downloaded Winwar winzip.

 

This is what I do, I download the file, then unzip it to desktop and it shows as chriz_mod4 it is a RAR file 10,724 KB. I then drag this into the games data directory following this path C:\Program Files\LucasArts\Star Wars Empire at War Demo\GameData\Data and start the game and it's the same old demo???

I don't see any other ships to build or a research building nothing.

I'm stuck please help.

 

Thanks

Vermel

You don't move the actual .rar file. You have to extract the file/s in them. Its either a XML file and a ART or just a xml. extract these 2 folders to the gamedata/data folder. Just right click on the .rar file and press extract to...

then it should work

dont forget to put the swmod.exe in the game data folder, not the data folder

So you need to have a unzip program for mods to work? Which one is best to download? i never knew you need a program for mods. I thought. Can anyone help me this is confusing i've never have used or downloaded mods.
