How to activate mods...

[djdemo]

Please help the technologically weak of mind...

HOW do I activate mods? I really want to get the plolar projection mod working, and I can't for the life of me figure out how to achieve this.

Depends upon what version of Defcon you have. If you have not applied the beta 1.2 patch, then you will have to create a directory called "data/" in your Defcon folder, and drop the mod in there. If you are using the beta 1.2 patch, then you will have to create a directory called "mods/" in your Defcon folder, drop the mod in there, and activate the mod via the menus in Defcon.

the christmas mod has step-by-step instructions about how to get a mod working

in this case
for 1.1:
download polar mod... (or polar cold war mod I referenced in other thread)
unzip...
go into polar directory copy data directory and dump it into c:\program files\defcon
so it should look like
c:\program files\defcon\data\earth\...


for 1.2:
download polar mod... (or polar cold war mod I referenced in other thread)
unzip...
mkdir mods in c:\program files\defcon
copy polar directory and dump it into c:\program files\defcon\mods
so it should look like
c:\program files\defcon\mods\polar\data\earth\...

let me know if this gives you *any* static at all

To those not familiar with command-line-type stuff, "mkdir" of course means make a new folder.
