In most cases you are just copying data over from one file into yourgame/data/ folder. What content pack are you using?

Well... i'm not because i don't want to mess it all up :-) but i am thinking about RTS Environment Pack.
If you recommend me a better content pack i shall check it out!

Thanks for the help.

I did send it to the data folder but i still don't see the content packs addons! I did it exactly as you said, what could i have done wrong?

What do you mean exactly? It won't be listed as a content pack, you'll just see the data files there in the world editor tree view. Basically with content packs you're just paying for files to add to your game. You add them the same way you would a new mesh or new script file.

I think we're having a communication problem. I'm not sure how to explain this in words, so let me use a series of screenshots.
