Capship Mod

That's Fyron's point, though.

If you put a pictures/races folder into your mod, only the races listed there will be in your mod.
You don't even need to copy the BMPs and TXTs, just have the racename folder for ONLY the races you want to include in the mod.

StrategiaInUltima, you are more than welcome to take a look a the mod I was working on. It has some of the same concepts that your's has and I'll probably not go back to it. Strip it out, use anything you happen to like, delete it and tell me to STFU, whatever. Here's a download link.

Oh, I see. Thnx for clearing that up Urendi

I know, but I wanted some STOCK races NOT to appear in some mods. For example, I don't really like the Eee - with their globular ships. Or the Sergetti. And in one mod I used only several downloaded ST races - not all, but some. (And yes, it WAS an ST mod - but my own one. I knew (a little) about the AT ST Mod, but I just created it anyway. Never really got round to finishing it completely.)

I'll be uploading SectType soon.

If all you have in your Modname\Pictures\Races folder is a Jraenar folder, ONLY the Jraenar shipset will be available.

One more question: what does the "Drop Troops" ability do?

Nothing. Like Palace, Star - Unstable, and several others, it is 100% non-functional. Such abilities can be handy as extra AI Tags and to add more bullet points in the description of the component. A very common use is to use a non-functional ability to add a tag mentioning any to hit bonus/penalty a weapon has, since this value is displayed nowhere in-game.

Check out SEIV Modding 101 for a complete listing of all abilities. Tells you what they do and which files they are useable in. Many facility abilities can be used as ship components, and vice versa.

And I don't think I'll be able to do it. I've looked at AI files sometimes, but i couldn't make heads or tails out of it (at least the Research file, Speech is easier than enything and Construction is also comprehensible... somewhat. But Research will require the most major tweaks. I'll probably let someone else handle that... any volunteers? it's gonna be a tough job, though.)

Btw, happy birthday, Nodachi.

Thank you Nodachi... I am indebted 2 U

Erm... Nodachi... I've tried three times, but something's wrong - perhaps with my copy of PowerArchiver or with the file or the disk. When I download it it shows up as being 79kB, and it conitnues to say that when I put it on a disk and transfer it to my own computer (I've got no internet connection on my PC, so data transfer has to happen with disks.) but when I open it, it shows only "changelog.txt" as being 200kB and packed as 400kB, and it won't open or extract. Could you plz make a zipfile of your mod and post it again? Perhaps then it'll work...

[Nodachi]

OK, zip file attached.
