Fyron I don't quite follow.
Is there an optimum install to be PBW compatible?

yesterday i copied the quadrant mod into the tdm mod directory and when i started the game, i got an error for the formations file of a race (name escapes me). They used the scissors as default formation. The scissors formation is in the data\formations.txt file of TDM but not in the data\formations.txt file of the quadrant mod. So it would be handy to know what files from the data dir are needed by the quadrant mod to make sure that TDM also keeps the files it needs.

The TDM formations.txt was overwritten by FQM's formations.txt - just get back the TDM formations file and you'll be fine, it's the only TDM data modification.

Or, you can change the formation that AI uses in AI Formations in its race folder. This will allow you to keep FQM compatible for multiplayer play, esp. with PBW. But if you don't plan on playing MP, go ahead an overright the formations file with the TDM one.

Or better yet, get the Ultimate Strategies Mod (USM) at: http://www.shrapnelgames.com/cgi-bin...;f=23;t=004611

Install the Formations file from it into the FQM mod. It has all the TDM formations, plus more. All new Versions of FQM Deluxe are going to have USM in them.
