I've made a mod for Weapons.txt but...

[Arreon]

I don't know how to make it work in any format other than just a plain folder (no zip, wz, 7z, etc.)

Could someone help me with a step-by-step procedure? (please number the steps). I really don't want to mess this one up.

1: open the folder you have the mod in
2:Select every thing
3:(7zip) Right click on the folders selected and select add to archive
4:create a new zip file, preaty much an options are ok as long as its a zip
5:rename the file from .zip to .wz

Then you can use the file like any other mod, if it don't work then try to make your zip fom the folders up or down in the directory stucture and/or use diferent compression options.

I tried every step you suggested but I'm still getting the same message:

The mod specified does not exist

That and losing more than half the data.

Arreon, do you have an IM client? I might be able to help you through IM. Alternatively, join the IRC channel and say my name.
