Request for Modders - Readme conventions

[Nyx]

I've been noticing that you all stick your readme file in the same place and they all keep writing over each other. How about using the SE4-patented readme_nameofmod.txt as the name so that we can keep several readme files around? Or stick a readme folder in the modpack and all mods put their files there? And with the shipsets, I noticed it most of all, they're all sticking the readme file in the races folder, not in the race design folder so only the latests shipset gets to keep its readme file. I know that usually those aren't the world's more important files, like the game rarely crashes because a readme file was missing, but there are times when I like to have them.

The AI Mod Pack should be placing each of the individual readme's in their respective \Picture\Race folder. I will make sure I change the main readme to something along the lines of what you refer to, but as for different Versions - I don't think that is necessary b/c at least Daynarr, Mephisto and I all place a Version history in the file.
