I just DLed v436 patch, but it came with no instalation instructions, and the file has no extention. (Its description in properties is "file" )Should I just move it to my system folder? I seem to remeber there being more to it than that...

hmm...it should still show up as .umod or a .zip with the .umod file in it...does it attach the little "U" icon to it?

Try giving it an extension...UMOD or ZIP.

If the ZIp is the correct one then Extract it into the System folder and double click on it.

If the UMOD is the correct one then move it into the Sys...blah. Ya know.

If it doesn't recognize the UMOD extension as "Unreal Module" then move it into the system folder and run Setup.exe install xxx.umod where xxx is the name of the file.

I think it was a bad download. I'm getting it again from another mirror. I'll probably be back.

i doubt myself correcting ChrisToth, but i don't think you have to extract/move the umod in the system folder at any point...

You're right Zodiak...
That's just my preference. I keep my umods in the System folder.

But for the setup.exe method you need to do that. (Or you need the path...)

I pissed. I'm realy pissed. Twice now I've had to wait in line at FilePlanet to DL v436, (different mirror this time) and the second one was exactly the same! I'm so confused. Ok, I vented a little, I'll go frustrate myself some more now....

.. <------that would be me...


Man I feel dumb. I figured out the problem. I just recently got this computer, and I neglected to install winzip.

Yeah, laugh it up. I deserve it. Sorry for the waste of space that this thread just became.

If you wanna be 1337, do this: in explorer open tools --> folder options --> view and turn OFF hide file extensions for known file types

that is just a sucky microsoft thing that is on by default

Already did that, there was NO extension until I DLed Winzip. I don't undersand it, but I'm not wrong. NO extension.

BTW, If that's the kind of thing that makes one l33t, then I'm no longer impressed with the title. That's kiddie s**t. [Speel] Try configuring IIS, DHCP, DNS, and WINS with no instruction some time. Or Slipstreaming a service pack on a badly configured i386 distribution folder! Or probing into to the complexities of TCP/IP! [/Speel]

Sorry, I'm a little stressed with scholl right now, had to vent. I feel better now.
