After you installed the patch, did you rename the path again?

When I noticed the components I made were gone I changed Path.txt to say MyData. It still did not work, though.

Did you make the components in a separate Components file? The patch overwrites the original files I think.

Nope, I checked the MyData file, It wasn't rewritten when I installed the patch. The only thing that I can see that was changed was the path.txt file. It says

using mod directory := none

I changed none to MyData but it still does not work, but it did before I installed the patch.

Data needs to be a subdir of MyData.

[Edit]
To clarify:
MyData needs to contain custom folders(Data, Races, etc), not just custom data .txt files.

Okay, I have put those folders under MyData (Data, Races, etc) but now when I start the game it says that it can not load "Settings.txt".
