How can I recreate EMP files using the AI files that are in the race directories?
Move most of the other races out of the Pictures\Races folder and set the number of computer players to High. Start a game with another race. It should generate the new race with whatever files you modded. Go into the game options and select players. Switch the race you want to create a new .emp file for to human control and when it's turn comes up, save that empire as a new .emp file, or overwrite the one that came with the game.
Is that what you are trying for?
