New ShipDesign Mod

[Mephisto]

Hi all,
I have made a Mod that enables the Ai to use some better ships.
It's available in the MOD-section of the board.


Mod Version 1.10
05/12/00
Space Empires IV Version 1.11

This is a Mod to the research, ship building and ship design files to every race of Space Empires IV Version 1.11.

There are to folders:
1.) The backup-folder contains the original data-files of all races from Version 1.11.

2.) The Mod-folder contains the tweaked data-files. Just copy the "picture-folder" in your SE4 folder and override every old file.

LIST OF CHANGES/MODIFICATIONS:


Mod Version 1.1

1.) Removed some bugs.

2.) Tweaked ship design.


Mod-Version 1.0

The specific changes are to numerous to list here but in general the following was changed:
1.) The AI should now research every technology it requires/can use. This has only been slightly tested. Any feed back is welcome.

2.) The AI now uses combat sensors, ECM and quantum reactors (and all the other special equipment).

3.) Point-Defense-Cannons are now much more common, installed numbers should increase by factor 2 to 3.

4.) A design for a defense ship was added to every race. Hopefully the AI will defend itself now.

5.) The production file was altered so more defense units should be build by the AI before going to attack somewhere. I.e. the AI will now first build a infrastructure before going to war.

That’s it. Have fun.
