HELP WITH DOWNLOADING MOD

THEBERBSTER · 04-23-13, 03:02 PM

Hi Guys
I have not used JSGME before and although I have Mods I would like to install I have not had the courage as a 67 year old to date to venture into this somewhat complex world.
I would like to download ACCURATE GERMAN FLAGS as my 1st mod.
The DATA FOLDER contains 5 folders
1st Folder SEA has a 2nd folder NBB_BISMARK which has a dds file called NMS_BISMARK_AO01.dds
3rd folder TEXTURES has 4th folder TNORMAL which has a 5th folder TEX which contains 3 dds files
FLAG.dds
GERMAN.dds
GERMAN_m.dds
So I can understand what to do in the future could someone explain what needs to go in the MODS FOLDER so JSGME can get the correct information so as to enable correctly.
Hope someone can help.
Best wishes to all Peter

In this case just put the main folder, Accurate German Flags, into the MODS folder. Then turn on JSGME. You will see two columns. The Mod will be in the left column. Click on it and then click the arrow button to move it into the right column. It will sort them out and put them in the right places. You don't have to do anything else.

What happens is that JSGME makes it simple. Without it you would have to put each of those separate files into the right place. With it you don't have to.

Hi Peter,

as a general rule, always put in the MODS folder the folder containing <data> as subfolder. In other words, the file structure should be:

MODS/mod name/data
