my mods don't work! i have winrar and i tried putting them in the cc folder but it says cortex command cannot be modified. i have a mac if that makes a difference. please help!

It does indeed. What you need to do is right click on the Cortex Command application itself, and click view package contents. Click contents and then resources. Drop it in there. You may wanna make an alias of Resources.

yea i did that and it said it failed to load data file. does it haft to be a .rte or a .rar?

.rte. Just double click on it upon downloading, then follow my instructions. If you have any other questions, just pm me.

Or its an old mod that is not compatible with B23.

Indeed, in which case you need to convert it, although the mod converter doesn't work for macs.

Thank you!!!!! it worked and the first mod that i downloaded was the dark storm mod and i love it. thanks for all your help!

No probs. Now you know how to use them, I'll provide a list of good factions mods, since you liked Darkstorm.

UniTec, a bunch of resprites mixed with new stuff, pulled off beautifully.
Copperheads, a slightly WIP faction, still worth playing. The picture is out of date.
Whitebots, a faction that will be in the game, this is probably the closest you can get to it, although I suspect the blaster pistol and laser rifle already ingame might be early versions of whitebot weaponry.
Vault-Tec, based on the Vault-Tecs of Fallout 1 and 2.

There's more, but I'm too lazy for now. Just keep searching the forums, you'll learn in time what's good and what isn't.

huh something weird happened, well since i have a mac all i had to do to get to the command screen was hold down control but now it wont work. it stopped working as soon as i put in copperhead and unitec. got any suggestions?

Command screen? What do you mean?

never-mind i just made a new cc
