We need more pirates!

I guess I could join you, but I'd need some tips and stuff since I've never even istalled the Pirates and Nomad mod, let alone played it.

I was wondering, in order to go ahead and try the mod out, in order to keep other mods and changes, could I just copy and paste the actual text for things into the correct directory instead of whole folders?

I'm not sure what you mean. Normally a mod is installed in a separate folder and does not make any changes to the default data files or any other mod data files. You then edit path.txt to the name of the folder to use the mod, or use a program like the mod launcher to do this automatically for you.

What I mean is, instead of changing the path directory, taking the changed part of the files and pasting them into the normal files(after backing them up of course), so I can use any changes and mods I've made myself.

As a general rule, you should always make changes to the data files in mod folders, not in the stock data folder. Less headaches ensue this way.

I asked this because I've made many component and weapon modifactions and various other changes, including adding some races. Of which I was hoping to keep while trying the Pirates and Nomads mod.

Also will custom made races work with the mod? I took a glance at the AI scripts and couldn't see any changes.

The changes made by the P&N mod are quite numerous so it might take a bit of time to mix it up with some of your custom changes.

Note that you'll need an exact, non-modified version of the P&N mod to play on PBW or you'll get error messages regarding incorrect data files.

The default AI will not work with the mod, but SJ did make a program that can patch AI's to work with the mod. I'm not sure where you can find it as I recall SJ's server is currently down?

Actually I've already started copying and pasting, and it hasn,t been that hard yet, since most of the original files I hadn't touched.

As for the PBW game, I understood that and have all of the original files backed up to replace in an instant, BTW, any news on that starting?

And as for that AI program, that'd be great to have!
