New ships modding?(n00b question, sorry) ._.

[RudyBeoulve]

I downloaded a set of ships to use in my Space Empires IV Gold (version 0.6,I can't upgrade, I have the patch to 1.81 I believe but I don't know how to install it, help?)plus, I wanted to know how do I put the new set of ships in the game (if you want to know, it's one shark-themed, also, where I downloaded, there was designs for "huge troop" and others I never saw before o.0 whats that?)
Sorry for the n00bish questions, I've started to play the game 1 week ago, though I played SEIII, this one is much different, much better.

Also, I read the faqs, but that confused me even more @_@;

To use a new set place a folder titled with the races name in the pictures/races folder. When you start a game and choose your race the new race should be available (unless you it lacks the main picture in which case you receive an error). If playing a modded game sometimes you need to use the mods pictures/races folder. You sound like you have a neo-standard shipset. This is for modded games that use more than the standard set of ships, but it works fine with a normal game.

Rudy,

I highly recommend that you patch up to the latest version. Not only might it solve this problem, but it'll be a big improvement to gameplay as well.

The patch should come in the form of a .exe file. Just run it and tell it where your SE4 folder is. It will automagically update all necessary files.

Hope this helps.
