Install Mods
Place new folders into existing Glest directories.
For Windows, the Glest directory should look something like this: "C:\Program Files\Glest_3.2.2\glest.
For Linux, it normally looks like /user/share/games/glest or something close to that.
- New tech trees and factions go in the techs folder.
- New maps in the maps folder.
- New scenario in the scenarios folder.
- New tilesets in the tilesets folder.
Check the zip package readme.txt for mod-specific instructions.

Linux
(Working on Windows at the moment - somebody want to do this, it has to be detailed and complete)
Mac OS X
First of all, english is not my language so, if anybody can correct this... : ) So, here is how I did it ...
I downloaded the Glest32Data.pkg and all the maps, scenarios, etc. I wanted. Right click on the Glest32Data.pkg and choose to see the content of the package. You should find Archive.pax.gz. Copy it and extract it. It will create a GlestGame folder witch contains scenarios, tilesets, techs, etc. folders. Unpack and place in the respective folders the additional contents you want. Then, from the terminal, make an archive of the GlestGame folder (witch now contains the additionnals maps, tilesets, etc.). For this, use command : tar -zcvf test.gz ./GlestGame/ In the Glest32Data.pkg, rename the Archive.pax.gz (so you still have it if this operation doesn't work...) Place your test.gz file in the same folder than Archive.pax.gz and rename it as Archive.pax.gz. Now run the Glest32Data.pkg. It will install Glest with the added maps...
I don't know if this operation delete saved games (I only installed the game yesterday)
