How to let people play your mods over Gameranger
The game reads the .big files alphabetically (ascending: A-Z)
What's also important to note is that the use of underscore ( _ ) simply make sure it gets read before any letter because its a symbol.
Any similar files that get read after that, gets ignored therefore its important to make sure your mod gets to be read as the first.
Final conclusion :
Make sure your mod's .big file starts with an underscore i.e. ___ModName.big
Let your installer put your mod inside the bfme folder
( C:\Program Files (x86)\EA Games\The Battle for Middle-earth (tm)\ )
Extra note:
If you have a newer version of your mod you could simply keep the same name.
You could also number your versions i.e. ___Modname2.big ___Modname1.big the game seem to read it then in a descending order.
