Error message for empire files

[Mike Burskey]

I keep getting an error message for some of the empires that I have downloaded.

I made sure that everything is in the correct files (\pictures\races and \empires).

When I try to load one of the downloaded races (say the Trekos empire), I get an error message saying "unable to load Trekos empire" and gives the path.

Other downloaded races, I have no problems with.

What can I do to fix this problem?

I have a lot of empires in the empires and races directories, could that have something to do with it?

Does the empire file name have to correspond to the file names in the races directory...example, trekos 2k.emp trekos_ai_research.txt?

Am I missing a file somewhere?

Thanks for any help.
