Introduction

This is an automatically generated tutorial. It will guide you through the process of importing the model Dark Iron Rogue Hero of the bundle Dark Iron Rogue Hero.

Extract and Access

I am assuming that you have already downloaded the file Dark Iron Rogue Hero.zip and know where it is located on your hard drive. The file is compressed as a zip archive. Most modern operating systems allow you to unzip the archive by double clicking it and dragging the contents out to the desktop (or any other place).

This is the Import Manager. From here you can add and remove custom files from your map file:
