Question 1: The name of the mod is TGEmod10 and I assume that I would repace "None" with the TGEmod10 Y/N?

It is a simple mod, just changing the mineral/organic/radioactive production of facilities and the availability of the destroyer at game start.

Question 2: If I play a different game, do I have to change the path back to "None" In other words, does the computer "know" which mod is attached to which game or do I have to do it manually whenever I switch games.
1) Probably. The path refers to where the mod is, and that is not nessesarily the mod's name.

2) Yes. If you try to load a savegame using the wrong mod, SE4 will may complain that the files are different, and that someone is probably trying to cheat.

This is it. When you do your turns, they will be saved in the Savegame folder as a .plr file named after the game and your player number; you upload or e-mail that .plr file to PBW.

For example, I'm the eighth empire in a PBW game called "The Evil Within", and my turn file is named evilwithin_0008.plr

capnq...would your player number be 0008 or 08 or just 8?

I can't enter any numbers unless I backspace 2 spaces. Then I can enter a 2 digit number.

Just 8. I have no idea why PBW uses four digits, when the player number can't be more than two digits.

I had to ask on these Boards to figure that out myself, back when I started using the mod launcher. Drag & highlight works, too.

Thanx. I didn't know if I was doing something dumb or what.

Glad to know it is the program and not me.
