Adding Fyron's Quadrant Mod to TDM

[Z.e.r.o]

In the readme of the Fyron's Quadrant it says that only sector and map generation are affected by the mod, btw many other non map related files are modified, sometimes clashing with TDM own files.

For example DefaultDesignTypes in Fyron's is heavily different from the one in TDM. It's safe to use that of TDM?

I have installed Fyron's then carefully substituted the non map related files in the Data subdir with the ones from TDM and overwrited almost anything else. There's a cleaner way to do? any other has tried it? I don't have anymore warnings when I start a game or when the AI process its turns. Can I be considered safe?

A better and easier way is to aply TDM to FQM.

And don't worry about the FQM colony types. They don't do anything.

The only data file that TDM modifies is the Formations.txt. You can install TDM into FQM Deluxe by copying the Pictures\Races folder from TDM into FQM. Then, copy the Formations.txt file from TDM to FQM. If you do this, then FQM Deluxe becomes incompatible for multi-player play. The next Version of FQM Deluxe will include the Ultimate Strategies Mod (linked in my sig), so you will no longer have to worry about the Formations.txt file from TDM (as USM has all of the modded formations from TDM).

The Default Design and Colony Types files in FQM are there to add more variety to your options. They are not necessary, and do not affect MP game compatibility. You could even use them in your default data folder and maintain compatibility with MP games.

i had the same question a week or 2 ago.
i simply copied the quadrant mod into TDM but
kept the original formations.txt and all problems where solved.
