How do I get a mod to work???

[NEXUS]

Hello, I have made a simple mod just to get used to the new mod making procedure, I unzipped base.wz, changed a few files, zipped up just the changed files, and used the proper command line and even tried the autoload folder, but the mod does not work! it is just the same as if I am not running any mods. I know that it is not a problem with the changed files, as it is a graphics change and I would tell if it is working just by looking at the game,it is not loading the mod at all!

I am wondering if I messed up with the un-zipping/zipping up process. I used 7-zip to un-zip, and used the regular zip program that comes with Windows Vista to zip back up the file.

Any help would be very helpfull, as I would like to make some mods and maps for the community.

did u copy the files, edit them, and then save them in the global file? or did u just edit the orgianl files without making backups? also did u zip them and then save them as .wz files?

I unzipped the mp.wz file to another location, editied it, and zipped it back up, then renamed it to be a .wz file using normal compression.

I did not modify the original files, these were left alone, as I wanted to make a mod that can be activated with a command-line, like the ones on the fourms.

Did you zip the "mp" directory, or did you zip the files and directories inside the "mp" directory? You need to do the latter.

Thanks, I got it to work now. I was zipping up the folder, not the files in the folder.
