MOD directory

[Kimball]

Let me see if I have the right. If I want to modify the techarea.txt file I

1. create a new directory
2. copy the entire 'data' directory into the new directory
3. modify the techarea.txt file within the copied 'data' dirctory
4. adjust the path.txt file to reference the new directory

If I don't want to mess with the race files or AI files I am done at that point?

You got it.

I can see the advantages of that. Seems like a lot of work to modify one line of one files, but it does make sense. I wonder if Aaron will ever add an interface at game setup to eliminate the need for the path.txt file all together? You choose which mod directory you want and the computer does the rest. Makes sense to me, anyway .

You know, that is a great idea. You could send it to him and maybe he will include it in the next patch (don't think it will be on the tonight one though).
