Once you have download the file, either a Zip or a RAR archive you will need a tool like WinZip, WinRAR, 7Zip, etc to unpack it in your X3 Terran Conflict game folder.

Start X3 and load your save game (or start a new game) and if you are installing a script everything should works by now. If you're installing an AL Plugin you will then need to go to your Artificial Life menu ( [Esc] / Gameplay / Artificial Life ). Check for the line relevant to the plugin you've just installed and enable it. You will usually receive a confirmation window telling you everything is ok.

Except if specified otherwise in the release notes you'll just need to unzip the new version over the previous one, and when a game is loaded the plugin will upgrade itself. Sometimes scripts using hotkeys will reset their shortcut during upgrade.

For some scripts and plugins it may help to enable the script editor first. To do so, please follow the next few steps: - Rename yourself (not your ship) to Thereshallbewings (notice the big 'T' and the 2 small 'L') - Save your Game - Reload your Game
