RAR files?

[M4YHEM 0]

So I recently just downloaded LSPDFR. I'm having some issues and hope I can get some help. When I download any one of these files from lspdfr.com, it downloads as a rar file. I don't think that's the right file its supposed to download... and it downloads this rar file automatically. I cant access read.me files or anything.. help???

Nope, it's right. You just need the WinRAR program to access the file.

Note, when you get messages saying you have to pay for WinRAR, ignore them. You never have to pay a cent to WinRAR. It's always free.

So then how do I use the mod? Do I just follow the instructions on where to put the mod or do I just put it in the game directory? (ive been trying to figure this mod stuff out for hours) Also on a side note, when I run the game via RPH, the game doesn't start with LSPDFR. I have to hit F4 and type "reloadallplugins" and then it will work. I looked in the startup.rhs file and that file is empty and I cant edit it what so ever... I'm so lost...

Please review this 

 and the LSPDFR manual, and the text on the LSPDFR download page.

Almost every file on the internet is a .rar. Place all the files from the download in your GTA directory, then download the newest Rage Hook from ragepluginhook.net and also place that in your directory.

Alright I got it. Thank you all for your help

Don't use WinRAR, use 7-Zip. It's actually free, it's open source, and it's easier to use than WinRAR.

WinRAR works fine for most users. Open source does not automatically mean better -- I've certainly had archives I've struggled to open in 7-Zip which happily opened in WinRAR.

I also prefer WinRAR since it seems to allow me to drag and drop OpenIV files (eg. yft's)
