Couple Questions

[Blader]

i got the winrar part but where do i find the unrar??? this is very confusing.

?
If you've installed WinRAR, just double-click on the mod RAR file to open it. You can then extract it where it needs to go (generally "C:\Program Files\Mount&Blade\Modules\").

it says if you download and install a mod you have to start a file all over again?does that mean my old files get deleted?sorry about all the questions.

Ever heard of a trial version? Just download it, it will work. After a while (a month I think) it will start saying that "YOUR TRIAL PERIOD HAS ENDED BUY NOWZ!!!1" when you start it up, but apperently the marketing people behind WinRAR are kind of, you know, idiots, and you don't actually have to buy it, you can just close the end-trial period window and keep using it.

I don't see why you could be so confused about using WinRAR, it's literally the exact same thing as WinZIP except the filetype is different.

Start a file over again? I'm going to make a leap here and guess you're talking about saved games? If so, each mod keeps it's saved games separate. They can't be copied between mods, though you could use the import and export features to copy the stats of a character from one mod to another.

Thanks i get that part now. So if i download WinRaR i just download and install the mod and extract it to C:\Program Files\mount&blade\modules ??

"TY"? What's that mean? At the risk of sounding like an 'old-fogey'... Ever thought of using a dictionary, if you can't spell, rather that covering it up, with 'Internet slang'? Anyone agree with me, here?

First off, internet slang is discouraged on these forums, but not prohibited.
Flaming, on the other hand, is strictly forbidden in the Apprentice Guild, as stated in the board rules sticky. You are very clearly flaming him, and the final sentence is asking others to join in.
You need to read the rules specific to this forum.

You've earned a 7-day posting ban. You can read the forums during that time, but not post.

Harsh. Honestly, the first time that I saw ty, I was unsure if I was being thanked or flamed.

There is a difference between simply asking what something means and flaming the person. He was flaming, and further asking others to join in. Better to cut it off right there.

You'll also notice it was only a one week posting ban, compared to the usual two week posting bans.

As the rules of this board state, flaming is absolutely not tolerated on this board, more so than the rest of the forums. End of discussion.
