Cannot load SE4\TDM\Empire files?

[Vger]

Hi,

OK, I KNOW I'm doing something dumb. I just reinstalled SE4, then patched to 1.49, then unzipped TDM200. Added one extra race, the Borg. Whenever I try to load an existing empire, it pops up a Windows dialog box that tells me it can't load that empire file.

This is on WinXP Pro upgrade, rather than clean install. Now, I also made mods to Techarea, Facilities, Components and Racialtraits, most of which was the cut and paste of Borg tech. (I added the Assimilation Racial Trait and changed it to Borg, so other races could do the vodoo they do.)

I checked my path.txt and it looks OK, pointing to TDM mod pack. It seems odd, since it SEES the empire files and lists them, it just won't load them. It WILL load empire files I create.

Just tell me what stupid thing I forgot and I'll run along happily. Thanks bunches.

Ciao,
