How to get mods to work in multiplayer?

[bowfin35]

When I leave the mod as a zipped file, it doesn't show up. If I extract it then it says it needs to be zipped to work in multiplayer. Is there a special way of zipping the files I don't know about?

you just use any normal zip program like winzip, and it must be zipped for any situation for it to work in this game, are you hosting the multiplayer or trying to connect to another person or a dedicated server, because if you are connecting to one, then the server needs to be running the mods too.

make sure you put your zip files in the right mods folder ..my documents,my games .fs17 mods folder should work then

I'm hosting a server. I zipped them up by right-clicking and zip. Yes, I Put them in the mods file, they all work in single player. The only ones that I could get to work were the ones from the mod section in game.
