However, even the simplest installation requires 3 files to be deleted. When you install a map and are sure you won't play it again you will need to delete the files that you installed, along with some others that are created by the game. Uninstalling a map and its associated files should be part of your normal file management routine. To uninstall a source map, you need to delete the BSP file AND any other files you installed. That means that when you try to open a file ending in ".7z" it will open with the correct application.Īt this point the instructions fork, depending on whether you are installing a map or a mod and for which game/engine. Once you install this application it should "associate" itself with the ".7z" extension files (and probably some others, but that's your choice). It opens all the file formats available from PlanetPhillip.Com and RunThinkShootLive.Com To manage compressed files Phillip uses and recommends a free application called 7zip. In September 2009 the site changed the format it uses to save even more space and bandwidth. Just to complicate things there is a variety of compression (sometimes called "archive") formats. For small files that's not very important but for larger files that are downloaded thousands of times, it's very important. Firstly, it puts all the files or folders into one easy-to-download file and secondly because it significantly reduces the file size, which means it downloads faster. Lastly, there is a difference in installation steps depending on which engine the game uses.Īll the files you download from either or have been compressed. There is also a difference how a mod or map is launched, but this is discussed in the appropriate section.
A map has 1 or more files that need to be copied to different folders. However, some mods, don't have any new content.Ī Mod will be supplied as a folder, which just needs to be copied to the correct location to work.Ī map is simply a level that contains all the same elements as the game and just gives you the opportunity to play in a new area. But the basic idea is that the game is changed somehow. It could contain new content (textures, models, sounds, weapons etc), it could be the way it plays (weapons have more or less power, new moves are available etc).
Essentially this means that the game is modified in some way. The word "mod" is short for modification. The Replay Experience Experiment aka TREEīefore we starting installing and playing, let's have a quick look at the difference between a map and a mod.
