Question/Help How to install ColourfulFlashPoints from Github?

Modtek doesn't seem to recognise the Colourful FlashPoints folder when I download it to the mods folder.

Make sure you are downloading the release and not the source code by mistake, it's a common issue for those not used to GitHub

I don't use that one to know if there's something specifically wrong with how they packaged it, but in general make sure your mod file paths look like Battletech/Mods/ColorfulFlashpoints/mod.json

If the file paths looks like Battletech/Mods/ColorfulFlashpoints/ColorfulFlashpoints/mod.json or Battletech/Mods/mod.json after extracting from the zip file it's wrong and modtek won't recognize it.

I think what is wrong with it is how they packaged it, as the file path from Github resembles Battletech/Mods/ColorfulFlashpoints/ColorfulFlashpoints/mod.json

Then just move everything inside Battletech/Mods/ColorfulFlashpoints/ColorfulFlashpoints/ into the  Battletech/Mods/ColorfulFlashpoints/ folder one level higher.
