How to Download and Package the Mod

1. Download the Mod Files:

   • On this page, click the green Code button near the top-right.
   • In the dropdown menu, click Download ZIP. This will download a file called something like bpl-armory-main.zip.

2. Extract the ZIP File:

   • Locate the downloaded ZIP file (usually in your Downloads folder).
   • Right-click the file and select Extract All... (on Windows) or use a tool like WinRAR or 7-Zip to extract it.
   • Once extracted, you’ll have a folder named bpl-armory-main.

3. Navigate to the Mod Root:

   • Open the extracted folder (bpl-armory-main).
   • Continue navigating through the folders until you find the mod's root files. The root should look something like this:

     gui/
     weapons/
     xenopediagraphics/
     ammos.xml
     items.xml
     researches.xml
     weapons.xml
     modinfo.xml
     

   • You should not see an extra folder at this level. If you still see subfolders like bpl-armory-main, keep going deeper.

4. Create a Proper ZIP Archive:

   • Once you’re in the folder with the mod’s root files, select all the files and folders in that directory (e.g., gui/, weapons/, modinfo.xml, etc.).
   • Right-click the selection and choose Send to > Compressed (zipped) folder (on Windows) or use your preferred archiving tool.
   • Name the ZIP archive whatever you like (e.g., BeepleLabsArmory.zip), but ensure the archive starts directly with the mod files (not with a folder).

2. Copy the ZIP Archive:

   • Move the ZIP file you just created (BeepleLabsArmory.zip) into the mods folder.
   • Your folder structure should look like this:

     Xenonauts/
       ├── assets/
           ├── mods/
               ├── BeepleLabsArmory.zip

What If Something Goes Wrong?

1. The Mod Doesn’t Show Up:

   • Ensure the ZIP archive is correctly structured and starts with the mod's root files (not an extra parent folder).
   • Make sure the ZIP file is located directly inside the mods folder.

2. The Game Crashes or Doesn’t Work:

   • Double-check that all mod files are intact and correctly packed into the archive.
   • Ensure you’ve downloaded the latest version of the mod.

3. Need Help?:

   • Open an issue here on GitHub (click the Issues tab at the top of the page) or reach out to the Xenonauts community for troubleshooting.
