Can't wait I just wish when I use this mod in hotseat, everyone wants to be either a pirate or a nomad. It's tough enough being one, try fighting one!

Did you really made new pictures for all shipsets?
If bmps are not present in the mod dir, the game will look for them in the default dir, so you only need to include TXT files and newer pictures.

Would I need to include all of the text files, or just the modified ones?

If I have to include all the text files, it'll come out to 400Kb or so for the AIs. (rough guess, I'll check for sure when I get home from work).

What's the big deal about 10 megs?

I mean, a demo these days is usually a 55-75meg download, ten is tiny.

Times have changed, and most folks have a HS connection these days. Those who do not, well, I have sympathy. But there is no reason to be ruled by the least common denominator.

As far as Shrapnel objecting, I wouldn't worry. If you look closely, their limits are 30 megs per file, and 100 files total per user...

10 megs is a big deal when most of it is .bmps you already have. THAT is the sticking point, really, and the massive amount of that 10megs those files take up.

So create a batch file that copies the necessary files from their default directories.

You haven't modified very many of them, have you?
