Download Question regarding 7zip files

ramileus · 02-10-13, 02:42 PM

Here is my update.

Two computers. One has SH5 on STeam and i was unable to get mods to work on that SH5, i thought it may be the 7zip.

Well i bought a downloadable version of the game and put it on a second computer (seperate). That computer also has the 7zip function. I was confused by the mod tutorials because they did not "appear" to be using 7zip. So i thought i was doing it all wrong.

Well i just tried it out, installed jsgme then a couple mods, put them in the mods folder which is inside the sh5 game folder. Ran the jsgme application and moved a couple mods over and they appear to be working in the game now. I am hoping they are stable but time will tell.

Anyways that is my experiment with sh5 and mods, thanks again for the help.

I still cannot get mods to work on the steam version of sh5 btw...oh well.

Webster, I've found out that ZipGenius will also corrupt mod files when extracting them.

7Zip is the only one that does what it's supposed to and does it without breaking anything.
