They go in your res_mods folder, specific locations are dependent on which nation and which vehicle

You're going to have to give us more information. What files were changed? What were you trying to do when you borked it? Where were you trying to do it?

Well, we're in 7.3, not 7.1 ... For the rest, I'm having trouble deciphering what you mean. Try complete sentences.

instead of <worldoftanks>\res\

you now put mods into <worldoftanks>\res_mods\7.x.x\

in this forum, someone managed to duplicate the old \res\ file structure into new \res_mods\7.x.x\ system

it makes modding easier since you can add/remove mod files w/o actually breaking the client in the process.

before, if it breaks, you need to restore from backups.
now if it breaks, remove the offending mod/s and it will be back to normal.

I'm also confused. Didn't the game switch to this file structure in 0.7.1?

If your mods worked for that version, but not this version, rename the folder to the current version.

If you're used to the older moding style pre-0.7.1, it's the same except you use the res_mods folder instead of res, as well as with the benefits blocker pointed out.

If you just need a guide on how to get things to work, check out the pinned threads in the mods forum as well as the skin discussion forums if you're going for skins.
