For you modders out there - here is a quick list of file changes since 1.30 that you should double check in order to update your mods.
\DATA Files
Components.txt
Facility.txt
TechArea.txt
\AI Files
Default_AI_DesignCreation.txt
Default_AI_General.txt
Default_AI_Strategies.txt
\Pictures\Races (i.e. all downloaded races are effected)
[Race]_AI_General.txt
[Race]_AI_DesignCreation.txt
I have not reviewed the changes in detail, please post in this thread as you find them (note we are only concerned about changes that would effect mods - we all know the .exe changed
)
Observations:
(1) changes to [Race]_AI_General.txt should not cause too many problems (simply spelling change for Savvy and .txt added to design names
(2) changes to [Race]_AI_DesignCreation.txt will cause problems b/c of change in the ability for "Phased Shields"
(3) changes to [Race]_AI_Strategies.txt file will not cause problems since they only added the additional strategy "kamikaze" (perhaps the AI kamikaze ships will now be added to fleets and function properly
)
(4) Obviously, this effects the TDM ModPack, we will be working to updated our files.
(5) Finally, I will be posting an updated "Components.txt" to use with my Sound files mod as soon as I get home tonight.
Later
