The way for downloading my packs has been changed.
They have been separated by category of files.
Now, you have a link for the backgrounds, a link for the banners, music, etc.
Each of these links are different and will be explained to you here.
Downloading and installing the packs properly requires a minimum amount of knowledge.
You should consider the limitations specific to your game engine as well as those of your computer.
Be at ease though, the majority of newer engines support most of the formats.
I suggest you read [Installing files] which explains how to extract the .ZIP if you’re not familiar.
Legend:
[Number] = Recommended on the game engines described below
