Spring RTS Engine

I consider my self a pretty big computer geek, but have never heard of an sdz file before. I do use 7zip and .7z files all the time though. I would recommend just having the file be a .zip or .7z instead of .sdz if it doesn't really make any difference.

Hot diggity, that was it, lol
Stupid MS Edge browser renamed the file .zip, chrome downloaded it correctly though and now its working!

Thanks

mainmod folder is from mainmod.zip from the basic example mod in the tutorial instructions at https://springrts.com/wiki/The_Complete_Guide_To_Making_A_Spring_Game This'll give you the engine and lobby, but no games or maps. It's probably best if you download the basic example mod and a smallish map...

I am new user to this engine but a veteran software developer. I want to get help and bring attention to what might be some issues. 1) After install there was no shortcut on the desktop nor anything in the start menu. 2) Running spring.exe from program files didn't allow me to do anything, no games ...
