Images changing?

Ok thanks everyone. I have homework to do.
I'm going to have to try some more of these mods.
Proportions sounds like a big change in the game.
The mod that changes the moons and planets sounds interesting also.
Thanks again,

I had the same problem the first time I played with TDM. I saved the game to the regular savegame folder since there was no savegame folder within TDM. If you do this, the game will look in the default race folders and not even consider looking in TDM. Make sure you create a savegame folder within the TDM folder and save your games there. Check this first before checking checking all those races and shipsets.

yeah i had this problem where i thought i had installed the recent Version of the neo canadians and kept restarting games with their empire in, it was strange but after a couple of attempts i realised i hadn't unzipped all the files

This is why mods are always supposed to have a Savegame folder in them.

Mods intended for PBW play IMO shouldn't have Savegame folders.

"If you do this, the game will look in the default race folders and not even consider looking in TDM. Make sure you create a savegame folder within the TDM folder and save your games there. Check this first before checking checking all those races and shipsets."

This isn't what has happened when I've done this; are you sure your path.txt still pointed to the TDM Modpack?

As I recall, I started the game and saved, then I installed the ModLauncher. This could be why I got the results I did. The Launcher found the game in the default savegame folder and tagged it as "none".

Yes they should. It eliminates problems of loading the games in the wrong mod. It allows you to load them with the Mod Launcher. If you want to delete the Savegame folders and cause yourself more work, go right ahead. But, most people benefit from the folders, and prefer to have them in there.
