Please help! TDM modpack problem: random shipset assignment?

[Arkcon]

Hmmm... 'kay see, if you're playing PBW, and a person is in control, you're not playing TDM-Modpack.

So, someone is using a TDM Modpack shipset, and every turn you're seeing a different shipset. That's caused by you not having the shipset on your computer, in the folder your copy of SE4 is using to find the other shipsets.

Solution:
1). Find out what folder you should be using. It's SE4/Pictures/Race*. I unfortuneatly have C:/programs/Shrapnel Games/Malfador Machinations/ ... well, you get the idea, your hard disk could be messed up in a different way. You may have multiple installs, etc.
* I could be a little off with the name here, someone should correct me shortly.

2). Get the shipset, if its part of the TDM Modpack, then you'll find it. Or download just that one from the PBW server by clicking it's name on the player screen.

3). Put it in the folder with the other ones.

Problem should be solved, unless it's not Gold compliant. If you get error Messages, but the correct race pictures, we'll fix that when we get there.
