## How do I install Luxor 2 mods? **__Method 1: Copy Required Files__** 1. Copy ALL `*.dll`s and the sole `*.exe` file to a new folder. **DO NOT COPY `data.mjz`.** - if you did, delete it. 2. In the new folder, paste in the `data` and `assets` folder from the mod. **NOTE**: If this is a Luxor 2 mod, you may want to remove the `locale` folder. Don't do this for 1/AR mods though. 3. Run the game exe from the mod folder. **__Method 2: Backup Vanilla Files__** 1. Copy and paste your vanilla folders (`data` and `assets`) to somewhere safe. 2. Paste the mod's folders into your game. 3. Run the game. 4. When you're finished, move the mod folders to another folder and paste the vanilla folders back in. **__Method 3: Changing "Start In" Location__** 1. Place the mod's files somewhere on your computer. 2. Copy the mod's exe and paste it as a shortcut. 3. Right-click on it and open Properties. 4. Change "Start in" to the folder with the mod's `assets` and `data` folders inside. This must be an absolute path. Keep in mind this is where `Luxor[AR].log/ini` will go as well. 5. Open the shortcut to play the mod. **__Note__** The `data/state` folder is not shipped with the mod download. To get your state folder, extract your `data.mjz` folder with QuickBMS (<http://aluigi.altervista.org/quickbms.htm>) and the MumboJumbo script (<http://aluigi.altervista.org/bms/mumbojumbo.bms>). ## I don't have Luxor 2!
