So, it's important to note that the name of the file of the mod is not important. It's the name of the folder!
Here are the instructions that I wrote for one of my mods, trying to make things as clear as possible.
If the reference in the eq2.ini needs to be to a directory. NOT a file.
Maybe this example will help.
I have all my mods in one folder called 'Custom'
and the eq2.ini is pointed to the Custom Directory.
Not to any specific mod.
it will just look in that folder for alternative versions of the files.
