What operating system do you use and which version of Defcon (steam/windows/mac/linux)?

Then it should be pretty straightforward. You can just extact the mod from zanzer7's site into the C:\Program Files\Defcon directory and you should end up with C:\Program Files\Defcon\Mods\<mod name here>.

Or, you can just create a Mod/mod folder in the Defcon directory and put the files there. If you end up with C:\Program Files\Defcon\Mods\Mods\<mod name here>, you did it wrong.

To install a mod, follow the directions above.

To apply an installed mod once you have DEFCON running so you can play it, follow these... (see the animated pic)

Start DEFCON
Go to Mods in Main Menu
Select Mod
Click Activate
Click Apply
Go back to Main Menu
Start New Game.

Image

Mods listed in RED mean they have a map that isn't the same as the default map and others that join must be using that same mod. Mods in white mean anybody can join or you can join any other server while using that mod.
