"The missions or campaigns that you download may include other files, such as historical skins that the mission designer wants to install with the mission, the readme file in the download will tell you where these files go. "
Thanks for your insight and sharing your knowledge on this subject. But, I have noticed a 'difference' in the instructions supplied ('detailed' to none). From a newbee perspective, there is no 'pattern' to follow. Where do all of the ancillary bits go? How would I know that? I've tried the 'corollary' approach, I probably had a better chance of winning the lottery!
I'm sure after the 100th download and install, I'll look back and wonder how I couldn't have seen the obvious! But for now, the obvious is obscured by the actual! I don't think anyone can give a 'one size fits all' answer, there appear to be too many variables! But try to look at it from 'our' end, nothing but variables!
There seems to be a need for some 'standards' in the community for this. What a pity, someone out there makes a 'killer' mission, and kills it because of a lack of instructions, so that only those with the 'knowledge' can implement it! Everyone loses then! Just my opinion......... and 'opinions' are like..............
Help!
