How do i play with my friend? It says we have to load the mod before we can join but we have. I've even tried several different methods of loading the mod and we can't figure it out.

You only extracted .exe in your mods folder but you didnt run it. Run the .exe file to install in order to play.

Thanks i didn't realize that till i actually posted this. Appreciate the help.

Im having trouble starting the map up i click on it and launch it but brings me back to the regular game. This is the only map i have that does this. Would appreciate some help.
