Been a long time - a question

If you're just adding shipsets:

1) Create a folder in Pictures/Races with the exact same name as the beginning of the ship .bmp names.

2) Unzip the shipset into that folder.

3) If the .zip includes any .emp files, move or copy them into the Empires folder.

4) If the .zip includes a .txt file of ship names, move/copy that into the Dsgnname folder.

If you're installing a full-blown mod with new or modded files:

1) Create a folder in the main Space Empires IV Gold folder named after the mod.

2) Create a Data folder in the mod folder, and copy the entire contents of the main Data folder into it. (This might not be necessary, depending on how the .zip was packed.)

3) Unzip the mod into its folder, with "use path names" and "overwrite existing files" turned on.

4) If you're using Matryx's Mod Picker (recommended) to run SE IV, the mod folder should have a Modinfo.txt file. If the .zip didn't include one, you need to make one. (My Samples folder has a Modinfo.txt template in it, but I don't remember how it got there.)

(Anybody who notices something I missed, pipe up; I wrote this from memory.)
