How do I use .rar files?

Post by ohhsnapitskyle »

All i know how to use is a .ppf file that i patch stright to the map with dothalo. I also need a program link that will actually work for me to use .sppfs and how do you work a .rar patch? They seem to be everywhere! Please help!

An rar file is not a patch, it is an archive, such as a .zip file. www.rarlabs.com

You need to install WinRar before you can open/extract anything from a .rar file.
