Mega Glest Windows 8 Mods Army of the old world

[N.Tech]

Hello,
I contact you because I would like the add a techtree to my megaglest game. I'm interested in playing with the"Armies of the old world" and the faction "Dwarves". Unfortunetly, in spite of my effort I was not able to do the necessary modifications.
i downloaded the files on that website (I founded in the wiki page) and I put it in the techtree file in the Megaglest file.

The files are called 7z. Is that normal? it doesn't sound like a commun file to me, I was expecting sth like an installation file.
I have Windows 8. Maybe is that a problem?

Thank you for your answer.

7-Zip is a file archiver with a high compression ratio. Download here for free http://www.7-zip.org
To install extract the file and open the directory %AppData%/megaglest and there you can find the folder "techtree", put it there.

Other file packers such as Winzip and Winrar will likely support the 7z format as well. On the other hand, 7-zip is free, not limited, open source and supports a lot of other formats as well, so you might actually prefer it.

The directory name is "techs" (not "techtree"), so %AppData%\megaglest\techs - you can copy and paste this to Windows (file, not Internet) Explorer - is where these files need to go. However, they might not be usable unless they have a complete techtree directory structure.

If they are just factions (i.e. there is no "resources" sub directory in at least one of these archives) you will need to copy %ProgramFilesX86%\megaglest\techs\megapack to %AppData%\megaglest\techs\, then rename the copied "megapack" directory to "old_world_dwarves" or similar, and rename the megapack.xml file in it to "old_world_dwarves.xml", too, then delete all the sub directories in %AppData%\megaglest\techs\megapack\factions\ and unpack your two archives into this directory, ending up with something similar to
%AppData%\megaglest\techs\megapack\factions\armies_of_the_old_world\ and
%AppData%\megaglest\techs\megapack\factions\dwarves\

Not exactly straight forward I guess.
