Hi Taterhead, if you mean the update.zip file from the official website (https://laser-tank.com/levels.html), save it to your LaserTank folder (where your lasertank.exe file should be).

You can either manually extract the various *.lvl files to the same folder or you can use Harvey Solomon's useful LTUpdate.exe from https://laser-tank.com/more/appl.html to do it mostly automatically for you.

Generally, the *.lvl files (eg Challenge-V.lvl or Sokoban-II.lvl) should be in the top-level of your main LaserTank folder because this is where various LT programs expect them to be, and it's easier for you when switching between different level sets.

However, I recommend storing the playback files (*.lpb) in separate individual sub-folders - one for each *.lvl file - so that you don't end up with thousands of files in the main game folder, but it's up to you.
