Does that mean a race HAS to have some ai in it? (like settings)
I thought you could just have a shipset and no ai if your the player?
And does the aio I copy come from ANY race ? Wont that make a difference?

Im also reading on another thread that it might also be the default ai not being Gold updated, but I installed from the gold cd.

Yes, pretty much. The executeable requires it, probably to let you know if there were a catastrophic error in your folders. Like you've already experienced in one mod you found.

Consider further, if you had no AI files, and you turned on a minister, what would the game do?

Can you post what race produces the error and one line of the error as an example? Thanks!

Hmmm...ok.....

So...if a shipset has no ai, it uses the default..so....if I switch on a minister, wouldnt THAT default to a standard ai too?

Secondly, If I bought the gold disc, and updated with the latest tdm pack v3.30, then surely my default ai's would be gold?

ok. heres a piccy of the errors...

Can Anyone shed some light on this, cos Ive been stopped from conquering the universe and its very annoying.

Ming never had this trouble. He only had flash gordon and those flying beardy blokes to worry about.....

Had another thought.
The cut and paste theory would work, but only if I HAD a default gold set to cut FROM, in which case I wouldnt have the problem in the first place. Its no good cutting and pasting from another race, as thats not default! (my head hurts now...)

ok, can anyone send me a set of DEFAULT GOLD AI please? Preferably the updated ones that were done/adjusted/improved? (although its these Ive added from the tdm v3.30 and have seemed to messed things up.)

From what I can tell, I think I should overwrite the default ai, and the ai's in the three folders within the main ai folder.

You need Gold AI files for a race to be included in a game of SE4 Gold. You have a cool shipset, or you made one, or you downloaded a pre-Gold TDM modpack race, or something like that.

You need Gold AI text files, and you can find all of them in the default install of SE4 Gold, or in the latest TDM Modpack Version.

You can use the patcher on a race that had a pre-Gold AI. You can just copy any AI from the SE4 Gold directory for your "do it yourself" shipset.
