Well its becoming clear how I messed things up.

I do get the "slew of errors" so Im sure I added some of those races. Its too bad that they havent been upgraded.

DevNull, Proportions, AIC, Adamant, AST and a host of other MOD RACE files (THEY ALL ARE INDEED UPDATED to v1.91)
However, they may totally be incompatible with stock se4 because they have MODED DATA components and facilities etc. (and as such, should remain in that MODS folder) Please review reference below.

I can assure you: if you want an up-to-date AI Files and Race Ship SETS - ONLY FOR unmoded Space Empires 4 v1.84 plus

TDM 1.30 is the best way to go.
However, if you do not have access to the MOD Launcher that we discussed - you may alter the TDM path file to resume your se4 game or any other MOD at anytime. Please review reference below


REFERENCE se4 PATH.txt file

================================================== ================================
PATH DATA FILE
================================================== ================================

This file must be located with the executable to tell it which directories to look in.
(very important from se4's Aaron Hall)
" If you make your own data sets or modifications, you should install them in a {{{new directory}}} under the se4 directory, and then modify this file to be that directory name."

Some how all this info gets lost with the 3rd Party MOD launcher and this critical se4 {its own "new directory" procedure} - entirely lost with a few MODS/moders.???

Using Mod Directory:
This indicates the name of the directory under which to look for for the game files. If this value is "None" or blank, then the standard SE4 files will be used. If this is set to a directory name, then the game will attempt to load its files from that directory first.

If a mod directory is present, then it must contain all of the files that are
in the original SE4 directory. The only exception to this rule is in the case
of bitmaps. If a bitmap can't be loaded from the mod directory, then the game
will still attempt to load it from the standard SE4 directories.

For Stock se4 play := None

================================================== ================================
*BEGIN*
================================================== ================================

Using Mod Directory := TDM-ModPack back to NONE ================================================== ================================
*END*
================================================== ================================

Or use the MOD path file that is in that MODS directory and/or just copy it yourself to the se4 Gold Folder - MOST MODS also have the Original Path File stored for you as an aid to resume se4
