When the app has loaded all the patches you will see a treenode entry for each patch file it loaded. If you expand that treenode you'll see the file the patches are for. That is the file you need to backup. You can also click File-->Backup



Do I just put it in the MODS folder or I also have to activate it with JSGME? Can you be clear please?

It's understood that if you want to use a mod that you have placed in the MODS folder you have to enable it via JSGME



Can you be more detailed on this statement? Depends on what mods? If I only install your NewUI mod in addition to the Generic Patcher, which one do I need to pick? I appreciate your help, but please be clear!

When you double click that link it opens the application for unzipping you currently have set in your window's registry. If you open the first folder you'll find a file called Readme.txt that was made by volodya71. It's pretty clear what the folders are for if you open that up. If you have my FX_Update mod installed then you need to choose of the folders for FX_Update. If you don't then you need to choose one of the two other folders. If you want magnetic detonator range set to 3m (vice stock 2m) then select the folder with 3m in it.

See above in yellow. I was prior Navy and the expression "quit nukeing it!" comes to mind currently. Those who were Nukes also will understand that expression!

See? Not really... If you say put it in that folder, but don't say to activate it, I thought the patcher just needed it to be there to load something from it or something. You're assuming we know how your app works in the background... If you had said "load the mod using JSGME" then it would have be clear that you needed to copy it in that MODS folder first and then load it, but that's not what you wrote. That's what I meant by "ambiguous".

Thanks... It's the FX Update part I didn't know what it was... I'm new to this forum, so I'm not familiar with all the mods you've ever written. A link to that mod in the readme would have been helpful to understand that.

You assume everyone knows what you know or that what you know should be obvious to everyone. You shouldn't... keep that in mind the next time you write a readme

I'm done "nuking" it for now... but I've never seen a mod or application so badly documented before.
