Having trouble installing Infantry Skin Mod
#1

I've seen two versions. The stand alone file doesn't come with anything but the .rar file and I am not sure where to put that and don't have the text to put in my static.ini file. The other one with the elevated machine guns, cows etc. I did exactly as the README stated and the troops still do not appear in my objects. Am I looking in the wrong place? Doing something wrong?

Your explanation is a little unclear, so I'm doing a bit of guess-work here - you must OPEN the rar file with a program like Winrar. INSIDE the rar file are the files you are looking for, including the README, etc.
You need to explain more - the one with the elevated guns.etc? Where did you put the folder? What does the folder structure look like?

My apologies for the lack of clarity, I wrote my OP in a hurry. Ok, I did not have winrar initially (didn't even know it existed). With that remedied, I placed the Infantry MOD folder inside my Mods folder along with the other mod folders and pasted the required text at the end of of my static.ini. I did the same earlier with the Mod_DLV_Infantry folder and text. When I enter FMB, I still get the same objects list I had before. Sad

Okay, so we need to check a few things, first:
When you 'unzipped' the rar file, you must be careful of the structure that Winrar uses when it extracts files. Check that your infantry mods are both in your IL2/MODS/folder.
So, it should read: IL2/MODS/Mod DLV_Infantry, and the other should be IL2/MODS/Infantry mod, if you have the default folder names. Inside each of these folders will be your 3DO folder, with all its sub-folders. If that is correct, your only other problem will be with your static.ini.
Possibly you entered something wrong. Did you back up your static.ini?
So, its one of 2 things. Either, your file/fplder structure is wrong, or you messed up with the static.ini.
Let us know where you're at before I carry on... :wink:
Its no good me posting my static.ini for you, it has way too many edits from the normal one... 8)
If you post your static here, I'll see if I can find the problem... :wink:

All is right where it should be. Here is the static.ini. (fingers crossed)Smile
