Stick 'em in th'mod folder wherever you stuffed Spring. It's not a compressed file, iirc, just a file type used by Spring.. Unless it's a map, then it goes in th'map folder. That should do it.

If you've got an alright connection, downloading mods via the spring downloader or the lobby is probably the most efficient way of doing it. Less effort on your part.

Mechwarrior 4: Mercenaries from the folks over at Mektek.net.

Yes, it was originally a Microsoft product. Yes, they have effectively tripled the amount of options in the game over the original version. Yes, its completely free and still being updated now.

Ustxu Iceraped the Frigid Crystal of Slaughter was a glacier titan. It was the only one of its kind. A gigantic feathered carp composed of crystal glass. It has five mouths full of treacherous teeth, enormous clear wings, and ferocious blue eyes. Beware its icy breath! Ustxu was associated with oceans, glaciers, boats, and murder.

Maybe we should make a list a ask Toady to make it sticky... people just do not use the search function.

yeh ive only been on this forum about 2 years but in this time theres been dozens of who knows some good free games threads. I agree that asking for a stuck thread or list where you can add free games might be a good idea. Although there are already several websites dedicated to this sort of stuff.

I haven't been able to get any vomit this release. Not any I can pick up, at any rate.

Instead of UFO AI, get UFO: The two sides

It's still in beta, but constantly updated. And it should work without original XCom too :)

Holy Chris, is there a thread on this?  If not, why the hell isn't there a thread on this?
