WinRAR or 7z?
 
I am planning in in-stalling DarkWraith`s New UIs_TDC_6_9_0_DarkWraith`s MOD.
should I use WinRAR or 7z to compress the files?
Thanks:yawn:

Either would work. I've used WinRAR for years, so that's what I use, but both oughta work.

Winrar works for both so I would use Winrar. Winrar is also the fastest and offers the best compression in most cases. The only place where I would recommend winzip is with pictures, winzip offer much better compression with pictures vs winrar.

Use WinRar for compressing data, games, video
Use Winzip for compressing images

Just some FYI I compress all my mods using ZipGenius. If you use that app to decompress it's guaranteed to work :yep:

WinRAR it is!

He didn't ask about Winzip, he asked about 7zip, which is far better than either "Win". After I discovered 7zip I threw out all five other programs I had been using, including WinRar.

video tutorial
 
Is there a video tutorial installing the above mentioned mod. I read that I should chose the language for the UI (metric or imperial ) then place it in the MOD folder. Is that the MOD folder in SH5 or in the actual
in the downloaded files?

What I really meant to
 
sorry guys after I read my last message I didn`t even understand what I wrote. Here is the exact wording in the text that came with the MOD. :hmmm: select appropriate 'Dials.dds' (or use your own!) and place in 'MODS\NewUIs_TDC_6_9_0_ByTheDarkWraith\data\Menu\G ui'. Do this before enabling mod!
If there is a folder inside called 'TDC' then you have to copy the files in that folder to 'MODS\NewUIs_TDC_6_9_0_ByTheDarkWraith\data\Menu\G ui\TDC'. Do this before enabling mod! :salute:

If there is a video tutorial out there that would be a great help.

Do you have JSGME?

Harbinger1 03-10-12 12:36 AM

JSGME
 
yes, that`s what I have been using to install other MODS.

I noticed you said other mods. New UIs_TDC_6_9_0_DarkWraith is fully compatible with JSGME and majority of mods are so use it.

Extract the files and copy the mods (primary mod and the addons ) to your main mod folder and activate using JSGME

What Steve said it gold.

7Zip is the only program I use any more and I've tried em all since the 80's. (PKzip for DOS)

PKzip for DOS, gosh, that takes me back, wasn't it fun trying to remember all those DOS commands to extract the files properly.
