RAR.files

[73A]

Hello 

Not that hot on finding my way around the inside moving files on the computer.

Question is where do you put these RAR files in which folders,any one can help me.

For map-rar you have to open packages. In Win 10 its normally a hidden element!

So open this by using "view" and marking "hidden elements" (see attachment!)

Then go to this folder "C:/ProgramData/eSim Games/Steel Beasts/maps/packages" and open it.

IF the map packages actually are stored in C:\ProgramData...

This would depend on the user's choices during the installation process.

 

Also, not all RAR files contain map packages. RAR files are just container formats that apply strong data compression to minimize storage space and download time in bandwidth-constrined networks (e.g., "the internet"). They are just like ZIP files, just a different file format, and they can't be used directly. You need to extract the data from them first.

So, it totally depends on what the RAR file contains before you can decide where their content need to be extracted. On the SteelBeasts.com Downloads page you should usually find a Readme file that comes with the archive which describes what the package contains and where the data should go. In addition, the user's manual (chapter 2, Installation) contains a boring but highly informative section about the file structure. It describes where which files are to be found. (and therefore, implicitly, where new files need to go)
