Gandalf Parker, good point. Is it possible to do the same for me?

Im afraid that I have since polluted the files sent to me but we can take a shot at it.
What were your requirements?
SEIV Gold full patched?
Image mod? TDM mod? DevNull mod?

Personally I would like to see someone do an easy adds package for each. If they carry TDM mod for instance then offer a pictures.zip that works with it. Its hard to get from the basic package to the kind fo mega-choices that most of the players have now

There is no need... as stated, simply use the SE4 Companion to convert all AIs to be compatible with Gold...

What do you mean by easy adds package?

I don't see what TDM could need added to it, other than actually new AI races. It includes all of the AIs and images for the modified shipsets it uses... Adding extra races would not really improve it, as it would either add AIs that have not been so heavily tweaked and customized (defeating the purpose of TDM), or it would add duplicate AIs with different pictures. Any AI that works with SE4 Gold will immediately work in the latest TDM mod. It is merely a matter of creating an empty folder in the TDM\Pictures\Races folder with the same name as the shipset you have installed in the stock Pictures\Races folder... You can add more shipset variety simply by adding new shipsets you already have and copy over the AI files from various TDM races. It would not really behoove the TDM crew to officially dilute the work of the AI authors in such a manner...

I take that back. The SE4 Companion's Shipset Cleaner plugin is horribly broken in regards to AI General files... be very, very careful with it...

I will second that. I tried it after reading this thread and totally frelled the AI. NOT GOOD. Still the companion is a great tool to have though.

Given that, the manual instructions for fixing shipsets are linked in my sig.

Hi. Me again. Sorry for annoyance.

Gandalf Parker, so what about that large ai zip compatible with the latest patch?

Atrocities, all of your races are ok with the patch. It is correct concerning non strar track races. And star track races on your site? Are they only for your mod use or are they just fine for the unmodded game with the latest patch without extra tewaks?

Plugin...... still have no idea of its... let`s say... usability


P.S. And again sorry for annoyance.

Did you miss my post? I have compiled 257 shipsets and created a torrent for it:

257 Shipsets

If you do not know how to use Bit Torrent, see the first post in this thread:

I did miss it. It states "All AIs should be Gold-compatible" and what about the Latest patch?

I think I can dig up the original one I was sent but Im no longer in that mode so I cant send mine. Im presently playing with a MOD named XperiMental which is a merging of pieces from .. I think 5 different mods now.

As to the one being offered on BitTorrent if someone wants to email it to me I will gladly provide a link for accessing it by browser. Since no one has requested domain hosting I may have to snag some cutesy domain name for SE stuff so I can park things nicely.

Send it to Gandalf @ Community . Internet
(without the Inter of course)
