BlackSwan Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 Hey all, I have been playing the game for a few weeks now (it is getting addictive and certainly feels refreshing after countless hours spent in the boots of various WW2 soldiers in every kind of 3d-battlefield imaginable) and I would like to use some of the mods from cmmods.com, but the Read Me files always say that I should locate the "Z" folder inside the main folder where my game is installed. Unfortunately, there isn't one. Is it because my CMSF is from GamersGate and not from Battlefront? Does the GamersGate version use a different folder? Thanks in advance, B. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackSwan Posted September 11, 2008 Author Share Posted September 11, 2008 Oh, and when is the Marines module coming out? It is September already! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slug88 Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 There isn't a z folder by default, no matter which version of the game you have. You're supposed to create a folder and name it something that starts with the letter Z. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stikkypixie Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 You have to create the Z folder yourself. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paper Tiger Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 You have to create the Z folder yourself Are you guys sure about that? I have successfully installed some mods and I didn't have to create a Z folder. I think that one of the patches did it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scipio Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 The Z folder is not a must, but makes things easier. The reason is that, when you start CMSF, it loads the datas in the 'data' folder in alphabetic order. Since the original *.brz files are always named version***.brz, all mod files must start with a x, y or z - OR you create a folder named 'Z' and put all your mods into it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackSwan Posted September 11, 2008 Author Share Posted September 11, 2008 So if I want to uninstall any mods, I just delete the Z folder? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jak170 Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 no, just delete the file that you put into the Z folder. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackSwan Posted September 11, 2008 Author Share Posted September 11, 2008 Well, not wanting to sound like an imbecile, but I created a folder named Z myself and put the mod files there, but nothing seems to have changed (trying to use US Ragtag Uniforms mod). Help? EDIT: OK, I've solved it. Z has to be in the Data folder itself. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SgtMuhammed Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 BlackSwan, You can put the mod files directly into the data folder if you want. The Z folder just helps organize them and help tell the computer that those files are the newest. You can create multiple Z folders (Z1, Z2, etc.) and swap different mod sets in and out. There is a lot of really nice work out there so be sure to check it all out. Also, don't be afraid to try your own hand. You can't break anything that can't be easily fixed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
