Help with 1.49 anyone?

I don't think there is a single answer, it depends how much AI creator utilized Gold-specific options. If AI in question is not very complex, you can simply remove extra lines in settings.txt (even that may not be nessecary ! - not sure). But if AI uses extra Gold features, like design _names_ in construction.txt file, it may be very difficult to do.

or you can just replace the files which generate errors, whith files from pre-gold AI.

Hey there I was hoping someone out there still remembers Version 1.49 and can answer my question?

Can I use a gold race in 1.49? And if not can I just use the steps to convert 1.49 AI to gold and reverse them to make a gold race re-compatible with 1.49?

I know I cant use any gold mods with 1.49 but I just want to use the custom races..

Thanx alot to anyone willing to help me out!!

ok so far so good, sounds either easy or very hard hehe. Thanx guys, anyone else have any ideas about this? if not I can work with what I have now thanx again!

Edit: Ok I dont have ANY old AI left since my Last format

So I am requesting that if anyone has any old 1.49 AI from a custom race could you email me or maybe post it as a .zip or if there's a better way lemme know I'd REALLY appreciate the help thanx!! Oh I also need to know if you need GOLD to play tcp/ip multiplayer..as far as I can tell 1.49 has only play by email or hotseat...ugh. Thanx guys and gals!

Im fairly certain that TCP/IP was added in gold. as for older AI, I think you can still download pre-gold Versions of the TDM mod. Check at PBW and in the file section here, unless someone more helpfull than myself has a link.

Both gold and 1.49 TDM are here:

Should upgrade to v 1.84 - hope to see a Version 1.85 soon.

Mongoose, go buy Gold. You will not regret it.
