The Thing

Description
The Thing is a multiplayer-only mission inspired by a movie of the same name directed by John Carpenter. The mission takes place during the events in the film, where the scientists in an Antarctic research facility comes into contant with an alien that can perfectly imitates human.

Mission detail:

All players take on the role of scientists. 1 out of 20 players are randomly selected to be the Thing, who can regenerate and absorb another player, turning him into one of the Thing. The humans must band together to survive while the Thing has to discreetly kill the unaware scientists one by one. It's a game of lies and deception.

I've been downloading addons for two days and despite my best efforts I can't get this mission to work. I have the map, all the addons I see listed but I get an error that says downloaded content deleated and it needs something called SAB.EXT and I can't figure out what that is.

Are you playing alone? The Thing is chosen randomly from the player pool. And if you're playing alone there would be 1 Thing and 0 Human. Thus "The Thing Wins" message.
