Need some help with the Pirates & Nomads mod
 

I decided to try the pirates & nomads mod(standard version) and it was working just fine until I ran into an error saying I was missing some images. I did some looking around and downloaded what I believe to be the proper image pack: imagemodmod, combatpack11, componentpack26, facilitypack16.

I think I installed them correctly, but when I started a new game, multiple error messages popped up, each one was for each race that comes with the mod. This only happened after I added the image packs.

Could someone please tell me the proper way to install it with the image packs. Of course thats assuming that image packs are needed and that those are the right ones. Thank you for your time.

I think those races were written for an older version of SE4 (or maybe a newer version, depending on what you mean by standard version).

If you remove their AI files, then they will just use the defaults and should not generate errors. of course, P&N should have its own custom AI to make races work with it. make sure you are using P&N AI files rather than anything the imagemod came with.

What version of P&N are you using? You might have downloaded the SE4 Classic version of the mod. 3.x is the Gold line of the mod, 2.x is for Classic.

I also noticed that when I first tried the mod before adding the image packs, there were different features and options available to me when starting a new game. After installing the image packs, some of those options were gone.

I'm using version 3.1c

Do you have the SE4 1.91 patch installed?

Unavailable features and options?

Do you mean that the only buttons that light up are "credits" and "quit"?

If so, it is almost surely your SE4 version. You need gold, v1.91
It may be that your download was corrupted enough to break the mod, but not enough to make the zip unreadable, but that is highly unlikely.

PS:
If you are lacking the imagemod packs, the game won't die on you; you'll just get image-not-found messages all the time. Playable, but not exactly fun, and not pretty.

I have gold v1.91. What I mean by unavailable is when I start a new game, and the menu comes up that has all of the options like what race to play as and winning conditions and stuff like that. Well, after I first installed the mod, there were some new options added by the mod, but after installing the image pack, those options were gone.

I just think I installed the mod and or image packs wrong. If someone could please explain to me how to install the mod and image packs that would be great.

The Image Mod packs go in their respective subfolders under the Pictures folder. Components into Components, and so on. Make sure that you got the various pack files, not the so-called "Image Mod Mod." The P&N mod archive is set to extract to a subfolder by default, so just extract it into the SE4 folder. Edit Path.txt in the root SE4 folder to point to the name of the mod folder, rather than "None." Load SE4. It should now have P&N data files loaded. An alternative method for launching mods is the Mod Launcher, which I would highly recommend over manual editing of Path.txt.

I've got a few image packs but I'm not sure if they are the right ones. Could someone please post a link to where I can find these image packs? And also, I'm only suppose to get the individual image packs? I don't need "image mod mod"? Thanks again for your help.
