A mod in a RPY file is easy to use because you just drop it into the "game" folder, and it will override/add to any files in the RPA.

1. Go to the thread for the game release and make a post about your Mod with some explanation of what it does and invite others to try it. As you say it is a simple single rpy file, then just attach to the post.

2. If the feedback from other is that the mod is useful, you can report the post to moderator (use the report link) and explain it should be linked from OP. It's common for such a link on the OP to be an archive that is stored on one of the approved filehosts, but normally the moderator does this work.

3. it's handy to explain what version(s) of the game that the mod works with. Very frustrating to get a new release and the mod no longer works, but there is no explanation of this.
