hey everybody i had a little problem with the neo faction mod v.4. i downloaded it and everything was fine until i started playing and the new guns and models weren't there. it just shows the normal guns and models i put it in the single player folder under user maps and then to the multiplayer but none of them made the models show. the mod simply doesn't show in any of the other folders i put it in. does anyone have any advice for me cause i'm knda confused.

Welcome to Levels4you
First go to your Red Faction mod folder.
Create a folder called "NF4".
Put the NF4_1.0.VPP into this folder.
Open Red faction browser, click on SETUP.
Go to "misc" panel, type "-mod NF4", and hit OK
Some mods will work by simply putting them into your Multi/Single folder, but stand alone
mods like NF4 require their own folder in your Mod folder. Remember you will not be able
to join non-NF4 servers, while running this mod.
Btw, most mods will have installation instructions in the read me file.
There are a few simple rules. The mod files need to be in their own folder, the same name as the mod, within the rf/mods/ folder.
eg.
redfaction/mods/neofactionV4/neofactionV4.vpp
I am not familiar with the neofaction files and am not sure if it is just one vpp or not. If not you will have to decide for yourself what to name the mod folder, based on the filenames for neofaction files.
Once you got that sorted, RF mods need to be run from the commandline. You can do this from the RF launcher/setup and then click on the Misc. tab at the end.
The commandline for this mod would look something like this;
-mod neofactionV4
You must include the minus[-] sign for it to work. You can also launch a map with this commandline if you know the name of the rfl.
-mod neofactionV4 -level neofactionmap
There are also some external progs that can run commandlines for you. Freedumbs map and mod launcher works good.
[edit] lmao diesel, by a minute! And you got screens! Now what i said will make sense aswell. [/edit]
If I ever get to where I am going, will I know when I am there?

Great tutorial, Ska-diesel.
Should be a sticky.
Or maybe exported to REDtech.

thanks guys the mod works now. although i find it kind of strange that the HMG and the assault rifle, which used to be fully automatic are now only semi automatic. is that how it was meant to be or is it a glich?
