SE4X is now SE4 Advanced

I could also use some help with the system, quadrant, and planet files. I know techs and AI, but I haven't worked much with map stuff.

Everything else is just busy work. I suppose it would help if there was a new version of the SE4 Modder program that allowed batch editing of component entries.

I can help with researching and text files. Such as name files, empire types, etc.

There are better tools available that actually help you mod faster..

Were you still planning to use FQM? There isn't much required to integrate it if so; just copy in the relevant files, and possibly add the small RW components if you want to use them.

Yep. Still planning to use FQM, but I wanted to integrate it with Kwok's Galaxy Mod

Speaking of tools:

Should come in handy for arranging the AI research priorities.

msvbvm50 from MS if you need it

You'll likely need to hunt down a copy of MSVBVM50.DLL to use it.

There is also this AI research tool (requires .NET 2.0 Framework):

Thanks for the links guys. Writing the AI research files should be no problem. It's testing and tweaking them that's the tedious part.
