Unable to Properly Install Final Mod Pack?

[Iron Sights]

Hello all, new forum member here and longtime Xcom oldschool fan speaking.

I have run into an issue installing the newest Final Mod pack in the newest version of Nightly.
Before I explain I would like to note that just before I installed Nightly I made sure to follow the forum link from the official download section to make sure I had the newest version. I then did the same with the Final Mod Pack.
(All downloaded yesterday 2-4-17)

I made sure to properly unzip the Final Mod Pack to the mods folder inside my openxcom folder.
Anywho, the game launches fine but when I go to look for new Interceptors or weapons or equipment that were added, nnone were listed.
I went to the mods section of the game and enabled several things but did not see "Final Mod Pack" there.
Nor did I see anything regarding additional weapons or equipment or Interceptors.

Is there something I missed in installing or enabling it?
As far as I know, I followed the directions off the installation video on the front page of the website.

Can I get any details for installing or enabling the newest Final Mod Pack?

Much thanks in advance

Were you installing over an older nightly or the 1.0 version?  There are a number of things that can go wrong with that, and the best way to deal with them is to completely wipe everything openxcom from your computer and start again directly with the newest version.

Do you use windows?. In windows you have two folders for your mods and saves.

From https://github.com/SupSuper/OpenXcom#directory-locations

Code: [Select]

User and Config folder:

C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\My Documents\OpenXcom (Windows 2000/XP)
C:\Users\<user>\Documents\OpenXcom (Windows Vista/7)
<game directory>\user
.\user

Data folders:

C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\My Documents\OpenXcom\data (Windows 2000/XP)
C:\Users\<user>\Documents\OpenXcom\data (Windows Vista/7/8)
<game directory>
. (the current directory)

If your are totally sure you´re using the nightly, maybe you are putting the mod in the incorrect folder.

For default, a new installation will use the one in my documents. Are you putting the mod there?. There you should find the user folder, where you can find the mods folder. Here is when you install the mod.

Normally I prefer a portable installation. I will add some screenshots of my installation for you.




I hope this help.

Yes I put it in the mods folder inside of the user file....twice.
Nightly loads just fine and the mods included in it seem to work as well.
The mods section of Nightly appears to be operating correctly as I can click yes and no to turn them on and off.
I'm ar a loss why Nightly does not appear there after unzipping it to the user file.

More information: I'm using Windows 7
My original version of xcom comes from steam (recently installed).
I played about three months of ingame time on vanilla and then decided to go to Nightly.
I was able to successfully transfer my vanilla saved game over and it opens in Nightly just fine.

I consider myself computer savvy and finding and transferring files is no biggie.
Thanks for trying to help but I would like to get more input before I wipe everything out.

Can you try to download another mod? And put it on the mod folder? To see if this mod does not show neither?.
