I'm shit with this stuff. Where exactly do I download the snow.fx thing to? I've done the .rar and what-not.

Edit: So I took a risk and threw them all into one folder in the modloader. I definitely made a mistake.
No need to have it in modloader, extract SnowFX.rar that you downloaded where ever you want (example Desktop) and just run SnowFX setup, pick your GTA SA directory, install it and you are done!

So it comes up as a .rar fle, but not a zip file if that makes sense. I err, basically when I press it, it asks what I should open it with, and when I right-click on it, it doesn't have the option to extract it.

TY for helping btw

The windows explorer can't extract rar archives, you'd need to install a third part program. As I'd imagine this would just make it even more complicated, I went ahead and repacked the files in a zip archive instead. Just download it and you should be able to right click extract:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/hy1yach45qimp ... FXv101.zip

Once you've extracted it you'll see a folder containing three files. Double click the executable and follow the instructions.

Why did you install replaceable file if you have laptop with numpad? Do you see SnowFX logo when your SAMP starts?

Check solution 1 on this thread. Also, did you install it to GTA SA directory or into some random folder?

I've been contacted several times by people who are having issues with snowfx and 99% of the time its because they decided to ignore an instruction. So make sure you check all the spoilers and follow the instructions before requesting assistance! :luvrcrp:
