Board won't let me ask about custom content

I tried posting a question on how to get it to work in a level and everytime I hit submit it gave me a message that I must have 10 post before I can post a URL/Link

There were NO Urls or links in my post of any kind!

Where do I ask the ?

Thanks

You didn't attach anything is what I meant

I wasn't trying to attach anything.

I wrote a message just like this only it was asking how to do a particular thing

about custom content

Hi gr8places,

could you maybe e-mail us the exact message you were trying to write, and I can have a look at it. (or try posting it in this post, see if maybe it works here)?

I tried already it wouldn't let me.

Did I get 10 posts yet? maybe I can show you on the 11th LOL !

Can I reply to my own post? should be 10 now.

Now that I have 10 posts let's see what happens.

I can't get custom content to work.

I download a test level
I create a subfolder in the appropriate custom contect folder and download
the custom content to it and then extract all files from the downloaded zip file.
I load the level in level editor
click shift + m
write the name of the extracted file, click enter
choose save and exit to play the game, but nothing is loaded, no custom content.
What am I missing?

I've tried making sure that there's only one file in the created subfile
and I've tried renaming the level after saving

Thanks anyone

Extracted Folder

Well, I'm not writing "extracted file" in the space so what does it matter what I call it?
Whole sentences John, I need whole sentences! LOL

Type in the name of the folder you extracted. For putting the model in you use the corresponding letter in the level editor:
model1=A
model2=B
model3=C
model4=D

When you download custom content it is already in a folder, you shouldn't need to make a folder yourself. You just need to put the said folder and it's contents (in tact - don't take the files out of the folder) inside the appropriate CustomWhatever folder in RTW. Then in the editor type the name of the folder you downloaded. As long as you make sure you don't have two folders, i.e. one inside the other, then you shouldn't have trouble seeing the custom content.

Of course, if you're downloading a level someone else has made which contains custom content, you just have to download the custom content as above into the right place and you're ready to go. You don't need to do anything in the editor then, it's all already done.

Hope that makes sense.
