Re: Path Data File?
The path.txt file is used to identify where the game data is. If you do not make any modifications to the files in the 'data' directory, there is no need to change the path.txt file. If you find youself making mods to the data files, such at techarea.txt, create a new directory under the SE IV root. Call the directory 'modified data' or something like and copy all of the original data file from the 'data' directory there. After you make the mods to the files in the new directory, open the 'path.txt' file and change the
Data Directory := Data
to
Data Directory := modified data (or whatever)
Never make mods to the original data files. If you do, and screw something up, you have to reinstall SE IV before you can reinstall the patch.
