You need to restructure many of your DATA files for compatibility and then alter the individual AI files to except that data. For Example:

With AI Campaign the AI will receive alternate Colonizer types through-out the game, this is to represent the effect of trade. In this way players are always encouraged not only research alternate Colonizers but to trade, borrow, beg and steal alternate colonizer types from there Human Player allies and/or other AI Players.
The AI is very efficient this way, so go ahead trade 30000 resources or a comm link for there Colonizer tech, this will not hurt the AI but will slow Human Players growth if they do not trade with the AI

= = = =

AIC will be releasing a Birth Of The Federation add-on soon and is now currently in testing. This addition will complement the original AIC AI; along with a few specific BOTF Facilities…

BOTF addon? As in, using facility images from BOTF that are in the Image Mod? Or some sort of porting of the actual in-game facilities?

Have you considered submitting the custom images in AIC to the Image Mod? (at least, those that are not directly from Proportions... PvK should consider submitting those to the Image Mod )

You did not answer my question. Enquring minds want to know.

I am still firming up and testing what we have for the new Birth of the Federation (AIC Add-on) I will have more info at a date closer to its release date.

I ported some still BOTF and Enterprise images from websites and the game itself, but I will check the Image MOD.

Thanks again

The Image Mod has every single facility converted directly from the original image files in BOTF. You can open stbof.res in any achive program (such as the crap WinZip or any more advanced program), and then get the targa image files out of there. This is exactly what I did years ago, and all the images are available ready to use in SE4.
