Hello to all!

This is, probably, a question for some of the SE4 Gurus around here:

Fact: I made a "Custom Mod" with a lot of ideas taken form other mods as well as some (I think) of my own...

Fact: It was base in Proportions v2.X (a mod I like a lot because it makes homeworlds very powerful in relation to newly colonized worlds).

Fact (unfortunate): The Ai sometime in the long process of modding stopped acting in a challenging way...

I have a new idea, but I need some advice:

I would like to start over, using a mod with a challenging AI (I think I should use TDM or AIM) but I would like to use the facilities as they are used in Proportions (specially the homeworlds full of cultural centers). Can the mod I choose + proportions be merged?

After that,I would like to add an Human Player Racial trait in order to add all my modifications, without touching the part of the data files used by AI. Is all this possible??

I would like to hear some advice! Thanks!! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/confused.gif

Re: Combining Mods

AI Campaign is the answer. Proportions based, though with some key differences, with highly optimized AI.

Thanks! This means a lot of work is already done!
Does it include the FQM Dlx Mod?

Yeppers, well, not quite sure if it is the original Deluxe, but there are a lot of FQM quadrants implemented. I have yet to find another mod with that many quadrant types to select from BTW.

...I thought you were from the delta quandrant.

THE BORG HAVE LANDED!!!

Yes, 100% from Argentina. Happy to see we are well represented in the SE4 Universe... But we must all consider ourselves as only one "species" that is the Space Empires Fan Species...

Thanks to all of you folks for your assistance!
And here is the last before I start playing & modding...

Is it necessary to upgrade with the latest Deluxe patch? Or not? Or is it the same? Anyone knows?

Re: Combining Mods

There are a couple of bug fixes with the Deluxe patch, plus a new music system that lets you use .mp3s etc. Other than that it's the same as 1.91 Gold.

Oh yes we have landed, and we are closing on your position Narf, prepare to be assimilated. Resistance is futile.

'Oh no! What shall I ever do? Shall I push this button? Yes, I think I shall.'

/me pushes the shiney red button.

'Thank you for pushing the shiney red Borg Elimination Button. Our quantum attack picoprobes have been dispatched. Please wait 5...4...3...2...1. Borg eliminated. Have a nice day. Shiney red button will no longer work.'

/me gets to work on a re-fill.

And that's the big, single defence that didn't get identified in the Murphy's Law specs.
