Zaconis: I ran into that when I tried to use a mod .emp file in the regular gold Version.

I have finally finished (sorta) the Orion Faction Race Style-Gold Version. What I do is zip to a the pictures/races folder, then copy paste the .emp to the empires folder and orionfaction.txt to the designames folder. See the read-me for credits (thanks Mephisto!).

Enjoy!

Another race-style (Last one for awhile!). This time those bad-azz crabs the Brachyura. Same instructions as the Orion Faction (see below). Original race, no help except the Ukra-Kal (sp?) stock race Gold Version AI files (tweaked to suit me

).

Enjoy!

I have worked on the AI some more and made some technology and ship design changes.
See above for new files

Thanks for the observation pathfinder. However, I'm not trying to load the empire as a saved empire file, all I'm trying to do is use the race files to CREATE an empire file. I cannot do it because when I try and scroll to the race portrait file i get the "cannot load *.bmp" file.

Zaconis: I have run into that too. Trying to remember...seems to me there was an error in either the race pic or "main" pic is missing from that race folder in the SEIV/pictures folder or a spelling error somewhere in one of the AI files so that the race can't load properly. Wish I could help more.

Just an FYI: Any Questions please post in main section, this is just for uploads.(not a flame)

Now to your problem. Check the race folder name and make sure it matches the name of the files inside (ex: if the race folder is Cardassian then all the files inside must be named Cardassian_*_*.txt or bmp etc, Card or other names will not suffice. The program is looking for 'X' name and is not finding it inside the folder. (If this is not the case, damned if I know)
