Default Re: Main Directory and Default Directory?

Thank you Suicide Junkie

The Path.txt file has this to say:
Quote:
================================================== =====================================
PATH DATA FILE
================================================== =====================================

This file must be located with the executable to tell it which
directories to look in. If you make your own data sets or modifications,
you should install them in a new directory under the se4 directory, and
then modify this file to be that directory name.

Using Mod Directory:
This indicates the name of the directory under which to look for for the
game files. If this value is "None" or blank, then the standard SE4 files
will be used. If this is set to a directory name, then the game will attempt
to load its files from that directory first.

If a mod directory is present, then it must contain all of the files that are
in the original SE4 directory. The only exception to this rule is in the case
of bitmaps. If a bitmap can't be loaded from the mod directory, then the game
will still attempt to load it from the standard SE4 directories.

================================================== =====================================
*BEGIN*
================================================== =====================================

Using Mod Directory := None

================================================== =====================================
*END*
================================================== =====================================
Question 1: The name of the mod is TGEmod10 and I assume that I would repace "None" with the TGEmod10 Y/N?

It is a simple mod, just changing the mineral/organic/radioactive production of facilities and the availability of the destroyer at game start.

Question 2: If I play a different game, do I have to change the path back to "None" In other words, does the computer "know" which mod is attached to which game or do I have to do it manually whenever I switch games.
