Please help! TDM modpack problem: random shipset assignment?

[Merry Jolkar]

Could some kind soul please clarify the use of the TDM modpack launcher? I am playing a PBW game, and some of the races use TDM ship sets. I keep seeing other player's ships with random ship sets (including some TDM sets that belong to AI races in the game Dra'Kol), but they are assigned to ships of another player. Someone suggested putting the game files I download from the PBW site into a savegame directory under the TDM directory. There was no savegame folder under the TDM-Modpack directory. I copied the savegame folder I have been using, under the "Space Empires IV Gold" directory, and then opened using the TDM modpack picker, via "load game command with player number and password specified (on right) and TDM modpack specified on left. I was able (for the first time) to load game (as opposed to simply starting it and loading game from the opening game screen). But, my friend's ship still shows up as an Dra'kol ship. The owner of this ship has had similar problems. Any suggestions?

Thanks! Merry
