Noob modding questions

[DaVinci]

Okay, after much frustrating research, it appears I need to modify my user.scripts.txt file. However, this file doesn't appear where it's supposed to. Do I need to create one? And once I have the file, what needs to go in it for this mod : http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=441595 to work? All the other examples I saw were to activate mods that had inserted .pack files into the Shogun 2 data folder. But this mod only inserts a .rar file. Please help! I know someone in here knows how to do this, since the .org is awesome. Someone please end my pain...

End the pain? End the disknowledge!
You got a .rar file ... ok. Here we go.

General explanation: A .rar file is an archive like ie. a .zip file, means a compressed folder or single compressed files.
Compressed files must be decompressed for the usage (other words for decompress: extract, unpack, unzip).
For decompressing you need an according program installed on your system, ie. 7Zip or Winrar or Winzip (which can be found via google-search in the net).

Simplest method in case of a mod usage: (... after you have installed ie. 7Zip, which i personally recommend, as it is complete free and very capable)

- Move the .rar file (could also be a .zip file) to the folder where it belongs, in case of TW games usually the data folder.
- Right-click the .rar file, check the context menu and find/apply "extract here" (the compressed files will be decompressed in this folder).
- Ready is the installation (you can if you want remove the .rar file from the data folder, but it won't do a harm if it stays).
