I thought it would be cool to try modding, and figured this would be a good game to do it on, so I read that Modding Tutorial III. Then downloaded all the files needed(WinMPQ, DatEdit, MPQDraft). I feel stupid for asking this, but DatEdit is a .rar file, in the tutorial it simply says to run DatEdit, but I cant, because its a .rar file I guess, so do I need somthing that will run the .rar file or what?

.rar files are similar to .zip folders in that they are a compressed folder. You'll need a program like WinRAR or 7zip to 'unpackage' it. Good luck with your modding!

ok, now i have another problem. DatEdit now works fine, thnx for the help. Now for WinMPQ, it says on one of its read me's, that i need Visual Basic 4 to use it, do I really have to go through all this, is there somthing else to use. Im looking for it right now though, if you know where to get it, post a link.

Eh? You mean the option isn't there in Weapons.dat? What version of DatEdit do you have?

You have an old version of DatEdit.
