Marty Ward/Sun Devil - Race Files

[God Emperor]

Marty,
In answer to your question in the Mods Archive regarding the compatability of my Races mod and SunDevil's, all I can say is that my mod was based on SunDevil's previous Version.

SunDevil, can you itemise the changes you made to your earlier Race mod? How extensive was it? Were all races modified, or just some? What were the particular files that you put more work into?

As you may have seen, I have just done an extensive mod on all of the Research files
to fix a number of problems.

Regards,
God Emperor

What I should have asked is should I install them in a certain order to get them most out of each mod? I didn't know if a mod changes every file or just certain ones.
Thanks

Well, in any case, they should be installed before the Mod Pack done by Mephisto, Tampa and me. If you install them after, they will overwrite the Sergetti (and Xi'Chung in the new Version) settings done in our mod.

Hmmm, depends on whether SunDevil started with Mephistos mod pack.
My mod was intended to replace SunDevils AI Research files....

Just noticed that the mod-pack only includes research files for the Sergetti and Darlock, so my mod is unaffected by whether you load mod pack first or second....

Thanks for the tips. I may try loading them in orders. I'll let you know if I have any problems.
Right now I have them loaded Mod pac and then race mod and I'm in the best game I've ever had!

In my mod all that I changed where the three files for each race that is included in the mod.

Ai_Anger
Ai_Politics
Ai_Settings

My mod doesn't have any affect on research, so based on someone else's updated research files, yes you can use both mods. Now if God Emperor included files other than the research file of each race, then two things can happen. He can post an updated Version with just the default races research file or you can install his mod first, then mine.

My mod also doesn't touch any of the newly created races either by the amazing group who made the modpack. Hope this helps, and let me know what you think of the mod.
