    It means what it says. Extract or unzip (I assume the files are zipped) the files to the override sub-directory found under the main BG2 folder. It will place 2 small files called ar****.bcs (**** are some numbers) into the folder.
    That's it.

    [​IMG] Ahem... and to avoid a seemingly common error...

    Once you've done that: Check to make sure you haven't got a folder named "override" inside the "override folder". That won't work. ;)

    The best (simplest) thing to do would be to unzip the file into a temporary folder. Then go to that folder, cut the 2 files and paste them in BG2's own override folder.

    Eg:

    1. Unzip to c:bad:temp (say)
    2. Cut the 2 files (let's say they are called ar1234.bcs and ar9876.bcs) that are written to c:bad:temp.
    3. Go to c:bad:bg2\override (which was how I installed my copy - yours may differ if you used the default path on installation) and paste the 2 files in there.

    That's it.
