Not to hijack this thread, but how about maps? Thanks.

tango 777, if u have already created a media folder, create a levels folders in there, drag and drop dds and stg files only in there, if there are other files they go into media if added info is needed message me

Thanks folmant. I will try this.

...and you must add the following lines to the Config.xml...

        <MediaPath Path="Media" />
        <MediaPath DoPrepend="true" MountPoint="_t/" Path="TextureCache" />
	<MediaPath DoPrepend="true" MountPoint="_m/" Path="MeshCache" />

I have a "zipped mediea folder".. Do I need to unzip it? Also the other folders(levels) do they need to be zipped?

[folmant]

tango u can unzip it but u dont use any of the files in there right click create folder and create your own media folder

Ok I must not have my head on strait. I have followed the guids and tried this until I.m blue.I can't create another media folder in the main file. I get a replace or can't have 2 media folders. At current I have a media zip folder.

you can name the new folder whatever you want- so if it wont let you name it "Media", name it "ModMedia" or something like that.
the new line of code in the config would say "<MediaPath Path="ModMedia" />" instead of
"<MediaPath Path="Media" />", but it will work the same as long as youve gone into the config and edited it appropriately.
i currently have three folders for the various maps and textures used by different modders. works perfectly fine

alex this is how you work around the hole xml edit thing as alot of people get confused with that

[Huntsman-Cammando58]

tango make sure you read it correctly, you have a media.zip you then right click and create a new folder inside mudrunner's directory and then rename it media OR whatever you want but read the guide through wherever it says to put in the directory of that media path you have to put in your folder so say modmedia as alex said
