Forgot to add.

You can have more than one mod installed

Grab the Mod Launcher from there, it allows you to load up that program and then switch mods as well

Thanks Raging Deadstar I was trying to find this the other day - This is just what I wanted.

Perfect, this is directly from the Shrapnel site

You could always have any amount of MODS installed as long as (THEY DO NOT OVERWRITE OR ADD DATA TO THE MAIN ROOT SE4 DATA ETC...) or at least they should give an pre-instructional warning

Or as you say �pollute� or CORRUPT if you will - another MODS DATA with out warning that this rewrite into another MODS folders may VOID THAT MOD.

- - - -

It is the (se4 Path file) that becomes awkward for new players and this just may alleviate the troubles from switching MODS and/or returning to the stock se4

EDIT REMOVED OLD LINK reinserted RD's:

Hmm..just noticed now. The link in the thread i linked goes to the 3rd page of the Mod Launcher thread...Terrible on my behalf.

http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/newup...1039630481.zip

Thats the Link to the Most updated and recent Modlauncher file. I don't think it changed much from the older Versions but some were having trouble with it.

Well I wasnt going to use MODs until I had played with the game abit. Maybe DevNull or TDM which seem to just add capabilities without trying to rewrite thegame (doesnt try to make the AIs harder or anything). Do I have those right?

I wouldnt mind increasing options, and increasing maps, playing with more races and neutral races. But I didnt want an extremely modified Version of the game

Actually, TDM is a major re-write of the AI files to make a MUCH tougher AI. It does not change any of the component or facilities or anything, just changes the AI's, and I believe a few of the formations.

A common problem with adding races is getting races that were designed for SE IV "classic" (v1.49 or lower). A pre-Gold race will produce a flock of error Messages in Gold every time its AI files are accessed. Instructions for converting pre-Gold races to Gold are linked in my sig.

I don't know of any software to check and fix this automatically.
