How to install maps/mods

Post by Spawn » Sat Mar 25, 2006 5:59 pm

I have no idea how many times I've explained this on Msn/mail :P

INSTALLING MAPS & MODS

Image

Right click the shortcut you use to start CJ, then click properties

Image

Then click "find target" and your Contract Jack gamefolder will appear.

Image

Open the folder named "CUSTOM"
(The reason why I have red icons on my .rez files is that I have Winrez installed)

Image

I'll use the pegasus mod as a example, even if this mod comes with an installer..

the reason why there are 2 folders, "MODS" and "RESOURCES" is simply because:

1. A custom made map is new stuff for the game, the files doesn't already exist in there..
As you can see in the image above,
we can put the "pegasus-maps.rez" in the "RESOURCES" folder

2. A Mod is a modification of already existing files in the game (for instance. .a gun, jetpacks etc)
and it should be placed in the "MODS" folder in a folder that
has exactly the same name as the rezfile.

In this case: "Pegasus-Mod.rez" is placed in a folder called "Pegasus-mod"


TO RUN A MOD

Start the Contract Jack Launcer

Image

And a extra button called "custom" has appeard. Click it!

Image

All you have to do know is to select the desired mod with an X
click ok, and play :thumb:

(to be able to join a normal game, you have to unselect the mod again in the launcher)

additional:

Some versions of CJ (german and maybe others)
doesn't support custom mods, this can easily be fixed by
replacing the Contract Jack.exe with the one from the english version :)

Thanks professor, this will help a lot.
So many times we had to help players out of tuning up CJ!
