How do i play MODs that have a bunch of files?

[andino1152]

What i mean is, MODs like Expand and Exterminate come in 1 sd7 file which i place and play in the mods folder, but other mods like CA or PURE come in these zip files with a bunch of folders. I dunno where to put the files and stuff and i was wondering if anyone could tell me because i dont see any MOD tuts around. Thanks. Also, do most mods support the AI that spring comes with? Any help would be appreciated.

By any chance are you using internet explorer? IE likes to change .sdz (spring mod format) to .zip files, if you dont want to manually rename mod.zip to mod.sdz every time you get one you should try firefox: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/ or opera: http://www.opera.com/

If your running Vista your going to need to go to:
Control Panel\Folder Options -> View tab and deselect "Hide extensions for known file types"

Then simply rename the extension to .sdz.
