To be fair, it was most likely to protect against people renaming files and accidently erasing their extensions. Plus, I think it's pretty likely that anyone who gets duped by a file like that probably wouldn't know enough to see a problem if extensions were enabled.

But anyway, yes, just do as NV instructed.

But it warns you if you try to change a file extension anyway.

[6843b39438bc1Enchantermon]

True, but some would probably just ignore it.

By the way, the same question is being answered in the SS2 Tech FAQ, by NV, with a screenshot even!

[6843b39438df5Nameless Voice]

I knew I'd made a screenshot of that before!

alright, heres whats going on. i installed the game on an xp and used the alternative method(data permanent mods). the arcaniac graphics pack works fine aside from a minor control problem i'm experiencing which i reported in the mods thread.

[6843b39438fc8Ben2444]

oh and kolya, that doesn't tell me how to change the file extension, only how to make them visible

[6843b39439096Kolya]

The answer is in the question.

i am inknept when it comes to computers apparrently, cause i still can't figure it out. my brother said just rename it but that made no difference

Once you show the file extensions, then when you click Rename to change the name of the file, change the part after the dot to ss2mod.
