Mod Picker Question
 
With SE IV Mod Picker Util. v. 2.01, I can't get the game to launch, no matter what I select. I hilight None and click Play SEIV--nothing. I hilight Scenario Pack and click Play SEIV--nothing. This utility seems like it would be cool...IF it worked!!! HELP!

First Guess:
The mod picker probably need to be told the path to get to SE4.EXE
I believe there is a browse button you can use

Make sure that the <modpicker>.exe file (I forget the actual filename) is in the same directory as the SE4.exe file (and by extension, the path.txt file).

If that doesn't work... pray a lot! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

I've never been able to get the ModPicker to load a saved game directly; I always have to hit "Play SE IV" and load the save from the opening screen.

When I try to enter a player number, nothing I type appears in the box.

Load saved game seem to work only with simultaneous multiplayer games (pbw). I think that is a limit of the game command lines and not of the launcher.

You have to highlight the spaces in the Player Number box and delete them before you type in your number.

No problem! That confused the heck out of me when I first used the program. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Yes you can, I do it all the time. Well, not ALL the time, since I play PBW more than single player anymore, but still...

Dumbluck:
I believe he is referring to the sequential-turn games loaded from command prompts.
