No textures/meshes/sounds folders in my data folder

[mhouk2]

As you've read I dont have these in my game data folder, yet the game runs?

 

on what? maybe dreams? willpower?

 

but in all seriousness this makes installing mods near-impossible

what file path are you looking in, and did you get from disk/d2d/steam??

The "data" folder doesn't have "textures, sounds" etc folders in itself by default.

It's taking the resources from the .bsa archives also located in the "data" folder. Example: Fallout - Textures.bsa

If you want to install a mod that has textures, meshes etc, you:

1. If the mod does have a "textures, meshes etc" folder, you just paste it into the "data" folder.

2. If the mod only has files, and does not have folders, you need to find out it's folder path. A weapon texture path is like this: Data>textures>weapons>huntingrifle>huntingrifle.dds

 

You can probably find the installation instructions in the readme.txt that came with the mod, or in the mod description.
