[jacobdouds]

Try to use correct english.I mod will come with either two sets of files, the Rfh set or the Win set.If the zip contains Files like Rules.txt, they go in certain folders.Rules.txt goes in datamodelArtini.txt goes in datamodelTextStings.txt goes in datastringsE_Output_text_Pickup.txt goes in datastringsetc.They will usually already have those paths set.the ones ending in rfh and rfd just all go in you emperordata folder.<|NB: You may have to make these folders yourself - there is not normally a model folder until you make one yourself|>

oh..and the ones i have only have the .rfh and .rfd files, no .txt files. Is that the main reason why it dunt wurk?

[jacobdouds]

hehe, relitives.

Um, the ones ending in rfh/rdh, all of them just go in your emperordata folder, so throw them in.

Odd, are you running version 1.09 of emperor?

Also, if they are text files, open them, and resave them, it can help.

These mods, may only do small changes, try with a big one, like the Kwisatz Haderach, as this makes noticable changes, you may not notice the smaller changes like price and buildtime.

What mod are you using?

How are you adding the files in? That is, to where (and using what program) are you actually dragging the icons of the files or whatever?

I'm using Winzip. I download the files and open them with Winzip then i extract the files into C:WestwoodEmperorDATA

[nemafakei]

Well, after you have extracted them, is there a file Rules.ini in C:WestwoodEmperorDataModel ? You may be extracting that particular file to C:WestwoodEmperorDataDataModel.

[Desert_Eagle25]

'DataDataModel' ???

[jacobdouds]

Yes, if it is set to extract to data/model and you set it of in data, it will repeat itself.

You should have this path.

May be different for your computer.

C:WestwoodEmperorDataModelRules.txt

if you have that, and the rules file is what came with the mod, it should work.
