snepp Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 The following posts were taken from a thread on the other board. If you have a problem with .rar achives, or any type of archive, odds are the answer is here. Snepp Yankee4Life said: Since the mods have been coming in now at a steady pace, a lot of people here have been wondering why they have been in a format that they've either never seen before or just are not familiar with. The .RAR format compresses files just as Winzip does. It's just a different format. So, if you want the WinRAR program, you can get it here: http://www.rarlabs.com. The web page can tell you what .rar does and you can get the latest version there. And, why not, while I am at it, right here is the homepage for the better known Winzip program: http://www.winzip.com I hope this helps anyone who needs any of these programs. texranger said: Hey Y4Life, gonna add this here...Powerarchiver does most Major compression formats (Including .zip and .rar files)...Link Below http://www.powerarchiver.com Kymera said: Izarc is another great Zip program and its FREE!!!

Easy, clean, free, simple. While I wish it compressed as well, it does what I want it to do. -Nick Link to comment https://www.mvpmods.com/forums/topic/23-for-those-that-need-help-with-rar-files/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

chuck Posted November 8, 2004 Share Posted November 8, 2004 WinRar is the best IMO - http://www.download.com/WinRAR/3000-2250_4...tml?tag=lst-0-1 :) Link to comment https://www.mvpmods.com/forums/topic/23-for-those-that-need-help-with-rar-files/#findComment-33760 Share on other sites More sharing options...
UncleMo Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 winrar also seems to compress the items more than the integrated .zip system that windows xp does. for example, if i wanted to upload something to this site, it must be about 19.1mb or less. well, i zipped my files with XP and found that my files were about 26mb. too high. so i wondered if .rar would do anything different and it did-the .rar file ended up being 15 or 16 mb. nice. :attention: Link to comment https://www.mvpmods.com/forums/topic/23-for-those-that-need-help-with-rar-files/#findComment-146094 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey guys, I"m a newbie to this site and was wondering if someone could help with my question. I downloaded some classic rosters for mvp 2004 to my desktop via winzip, unzipped them to my desktop as well, how do I load them to the game? Windows 7.

Jim825 Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 You need to extract (or copy) the files to the proper folder in your game installation. There should be a readme file with the mod. If not, extract (or copy) the files to the MVP2004 folder that contains your rosters.
