Default Re: Pirates&Nomads v2 Problem

quote:
I suggest you upload the core datafiles as a single zip, then upload each of the AI patches individually
that way the Users can download them one at a time and start playing when they only have a few.
Good, but I'll still end up with 10MB in 21 separate files. The problems with hosting become critical.

What do you think about Users patching the AIs already on their hard drives?

The process would be:
-copy everything in your SE4\pictures\races folder to your SE4\Pirates&Nomadsv2\pictures\races folder.
- Run the AI Patcher, using a common dialog box to select the 40 files and clicking the patch buttons.
-OR-
- Open up your P&N zip, and overwrite the 40 AI files with the patched Versions in the zip.

The AIPatcher is 20Kb zipped.

[edit] OK, the AI patcher is posted, in case you wanna take a look at it or the documentation. If anybody finds that the program needs .DLLs, I will add them to the zip[/edit]

[edit]Oh, also, does anybody know if the AI will accept some of its files in a mod folder and search for the others in the default directory for that race in normal SE4?
Or will it search in the generic directory in the mod?
Or will it search in the generic directory in unmodded SE4?
