how do you install the build mod?

[colmaniac]

Hi, I have down loaded the base mod and the update.

How do you install it? The instructions are not clear, it says to alter a file but doesnt say what to modify it to.

Also I have followed the unclear instructions as best i can but running the game it just goes to the splash screen and then nothing.
Some one please help Thanks

mod is still not loading, I have tried reinstalling the game adding 1 mod then the updates at a time the game wont start. Also there is no read me file on how to install the mod.. If any one knows an easy way to install it and run it let me know <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

If you mean the editing of BuildSettings.h with that: You don't HAVE to edit that file at all. A lot of the game settings are in that file and you can use that file to easily tweak the workings of the game to your liking. You can turn off mods you don't like there. But you don't have to.
