1. Find and extract "main.DAT" in your defcon directory
2. Edit any files in the "data" folder
3. create text document intitled "mod" with the following information:
Name - mod name
Version - mod version
Author - your name
Website - your website URL <Optional>
Comment - Description

4. move the text file and "data" folder into another folder with the name of your mod
5. save all that into your mods folder

What program do I need to extract the main.dat file? I opened it with notepad, but it only had letters rar, an arrow and a lot of strange symbols. I have rar extractor, but it doesn´t help extracting it.

Try WinRar maybe?

...btw, isnt there "too" word missed in your "location" line?

It´s just neighbour love
I managed to extract the main.dat file, there´s no longer a problem.

Well, i just mean "Too near Russia" seems a bit grammatically strange for me, while something like "Too close to" would suit better... But my english isnt perfect so i can be wrong.

way better then WINRAR and its free.
yah. amazingly sexy
im gonna go take a nap, then try to fake my way past a french unit test.
