Bah, Deja vu all over again.

I know I've done this at least twice, cause I know I was showing my dad how cool it was when you can eyeball the difference between a meson bLaster I and a meson bLaster IV in combat.

Attrocities, what do you mean by a "Stand Alone Mod"?

The Encyclopedia Malfadorica {link} entry for mods {link} suggests four categories:

AIs/shipsets/races
gameplay mods
map mods
graphic mods

Then those are the ones we should use then if any one is interested.

Thanks SJ, I appreciate the help. I was really tired when I typed this up, and it shows.

Stand Alone Mod means that the mod is self contained and can run without copying over of files. I know that most mods are this way, but some have modified files. In that way I guess the TDM is not a SAM, but a mod that alters the the Race AI to use new components and facilities would be.

Because you can not take a NON Modded race with AI and put it into a SAM mod and have it work without errors.

Thanks, I had not figured for that. Again, I was too tired.
