1.19 and ship sets
 

Is there a workaround for ship sets that I've downloaded off the web but don't appear to work with the latest patch????

Many thanks!

Which ship sets? The Star Trek ones I made and the ones others made seem to work just fine. Please elabrate.

Oh ya, the B5 ship set works fine too.

I don't know about the star wars ones.

The "work around" takes a bit of work. At least if you are refering to the error Messages about the personality group thing with add-on races. The simple fix for this is to look at the SEIV\pictures\races folder and look in one of the races that came with the game. Find one that is the closest to the race you added on and copy the text files to its folder changing the name to match the new race and modifing the files to more closely match the new race. The old General file (if there was one) will probably still work if not copy the parts in there with the race information making sure that the special racial traits will be researched in the research.txt file (thats why you pick a race to copy from that has the same racial traits if you want this to be fast). That should do it. The file that causes the error usually is the settings.txt they added a new line near the bottom of it for the personality group that the race falls into. I am not real sure what the Groups are something about how aggressive they are I believe but this setting is used to set-up the game to have a mixture of different types of races in each game. The other files like the anger and politics tell the AI how to behave in certain situations like when to ask for treaties and when to declare war so you will want them too.

Ok that was a lot of typing I hope it helps.

Starwars ones worked I was playing the empire Last weekend. you have to make the folder names match the picture files' for example the empire files were something like SW-EMP3_xxxx_xxx.bmp, then put em in a folder named sw-emp3.

I renamed B5 AI files for use with the star war sets since I wanted to get em to use fighters... not sure if it's working though.
