Who wants to help with a mod?

Ed,
I did get the file at SEIV, if you have problems uploading to the mod forum I can do it for you.

I just browsed the files, and there are things I like already :
* the reduced sizes
* the tech tree, with its clean categories instead of the standard mess !

I'll launch a solo game soon to see your changes, then will try modding some AI (I'm a newbie in that field however ! )

Glad you like it!

Say, what do you mean by "clean categories instead of a jumbled mess" in the tech tree? How everything is almost anal-retentively compartmentalized into its own separate tech area? Or the slightly more realistic tech requirements for various things (which mostly don't matter anyway since you START with missiles I anyway so it doesn't matter that whether they require Explosive Warheads and Propulsion!)?

I was refering to anal retention ... !
I did'nt study details enough to appreciate the new requirements, I still have to do that

Starting this thread back up again...

I've been fiddling with everything, you might hate me for it, but I've done other minor and not-so-minor tweaks... just thought I'd let you know... one thing I did is reduced the cost of the "Mechanoids" racial trait to 500 points since nobody uses bioweapons anyway... if you were doing AI files I thought you might want to know about that before I totally mess everything up for you!

By the way, are you having any trouble with the sound effects? I noticed that they weren't working, so I copied the entire sounds folder (yes, all 30 MB of it) into my mod folder, but it STILL won't work...

edit: By the way, where does the screen name "PDF" come from? Is it just your initials? I ask because it's also a type of document file commonly used in Online manuals (damn them to Hell! )
