Gandalf Parker, good point. Is it possible to do the same for me?
There is no need... as stated, simply use the SE4 Companion to convert all AIs to be compatible with Gold...

Personally I would like to see someone do an easy adds package for each. If they carry TDM mod for instance then offer a pictures.zip that works with it. Its hard to get from the basic package to the kind fo mega-choices that most of the players have now
What do you mean by easy adds package?

I don't see what TDM could need added to it, other than actually new AI races. It includes all of the AIs and images for the modified shipsets it uses... Adding extra races would not really improve it, as it would either add AIs that have not been so heavily tweaked and customized (defeating the purpose of TDM), or it would add duplicate AIs with different pictures. Any AI that works with SE4 Gold will immediately work in the latest TDM mod. It is merely a matter of creating an empty folder in the TDM\Pictures\Races folder with the same name as the shipset you have installed in the stock Pictures\Races folder... You can add more shipset variety simply by adding new shipsets you already have and copy over the AI files from various TDM races. It would not really behoove the TDM crew to officially dilute the work of the AI authors in such a manner...
