.sdd is what you use when you have the mod/game uncompressed.
So you can extract the contents of any mod/game and place it in a folder with the .sdd extension.
http://code.google.com/p/conflictterra/downloads/list

For example you can download ct-1.02.sdz and extract the contents using 7zip into a folder called ct-1.02.sdd and it should load up just fine.

You only need a working modinfo.lua (so long as it includes cursors)

e.g.:

Code: Select all

local modinfo = {
   name = "A(bsolute Minimum)",
   shortname = "A",
   game = "SpringABC",
   shortgame = "ABC",
   description = "Mod with the bare minimum to run",
   url = "http://www.spring.com/wiki/ABC",
   
   modtype = "1",

   depend = {
      "Spring Cursors",
   }
}

return modinfo
I'd guess you're missing the required cursors, but if that doesn't fix it, please post the infolog.txt.
