I cant get this mod to work. When I press "End Turn" I get error "File not found".

I have tested with AI and without AI. Game just stop working when I try end turn.

Some people have an issue where the eclipse mod folder becomes read-only. If you take take it off of read-only it should correct the problem.

Cant get it work. SEIV change it back to read-only.
I am using WinXP Pro

What is the name of the file not found?

It don't say any name. Only "File not found".

And SEIV don't change that read-only, WinXp do that. I mean changing it back automatically. Spotted that when I tried to change it.

Similar to Adamant Mod (which I haven't figured out why it does this either) - creation of a game and race goes well then when I try to load or start the game (Gold 1.91) it crashes.

Aaarrgh.

ironman: i usually set my options to not display ship movement. i completely forgot about that setting. but why would 10 milliseconds be a long time? I wouldn't think that would make any difference.

wildcard: i have seen a problem similar to this but it always involved read-only files in the history, empires, and savegame folders. Just to be safe it would be a good idea to take the entire mod folder off of read-only. I dont have 98 so if this isn't the cause perhaps someone else here can come up with a solution.

You will want to run IrfanView and do a batch conversion of all images in the Adamant Mod, Eclipse Mod, and Pictures folders from Bitmap to Bitmap. There is a problem with the file headers that MS Paint puts in bitmaps on Windows 2000/XP which causes SE4 to be unable to read them on Windows 98/ME. This generally solves that problem.
