I am new to the Bridge commander sceen. I have pretty much everything figured out reguarding mods using BCMI and BCMP. However, there are numerous file that I download that when completed are nothing but a file labeled BCMI. When I click to open, BCMI automatically tries to install, but nothing happens. Usually on successful BCMI downloads, I get a Zip folder, with the BCMI file inside. Is there a download I need so that this doesn't happen? Or is it a computer issue etc.....Any help would be appreciated!

Does BCMI point to the right directory?

I assume it does. Like I said there are some BCMI mods that work fine, only they are installed using BCMI once they are unzipped. I will check BCMI to make sure.

BCMI in directed to BC main directory, and the file I get isn't a folder, just a RAR file.

Sometimes you get BCMI files, that require you to use BCMP to make a plugin for the game (and the readme Does Not say so,

TRY this first

if still no ship in game try the "Game Tools' and
make a plugin for the ship

it seems as though sometimes it is forgotten when a
description is written (easy to do)

by using BCMP you can make a Plugin for the ship.

to make plugin

Just start BCMP ,
click on the Icon (uptop) says 'GAME TOOLS'
look a little to your right and down little (see the name.py)
find the correct one for the ship

example::: merchantman.py Click on it
To the right is an item called QB Menu (click on it)
Choose the QB Menu placement you want your ship to be in the game.
(maybe “other ships” , or “Federation” , just where ever you want)
example::: choose Other ship (MENU) for this (ship)
Near the bottom is a button labeled MAKE PLUGGIN click it
and there you go
