How do I make Spring run my mod?

[Yaaar's Revenge]

Hey everyone

I have just started out using Spring after converting from Gamemaker for the last 6/7 years, and I have been following the guidance of the tutorial of how to make a mod. I have been trying to get my test mod to work - but with no success.

I am having difficulties with changing the files in the .sd7 files - When I try adding or editing files in the .sd7 mod file in the /mods folder of Spring - it says "Operation is not supported" when I try to add my files to the archive.

The other approach I used was to extract the files, and add my own then re-archive it, but it produces it as a zip-style file - when I try and change it to a .sd7 file, I put it in the mods folder and Spring does not see it and says it is corrupted when I double click on it.

How can I solve either of these two problems and start making my mods? Thanks all

Make a directory in spring/mods called yourmodname.sdd.
Place your mod files there normally. no need to zip between each change.

directory? As in a file or a zip-file? Sorry I'm not very good with lingo ><

directory = folder

Ok thanks - so I just dump my files into the folder then? No need to archive anything right?

Not until you wish to distribute it.
