Stupid Newbie Question(s): Yes, I'm the one doing the asking. =)

[Yin]

This question is for Atrocities or anybody who knows the answer: I have just d/led those great sets into my races folder ... yet the game won't recognize them. What I mean is, when I click 'add existing,' none of the new sets show up ... yet all the folders are in the right place.

Any clues?

You have the race pics in /pictures/races, do you have the .emp files in /empires

[Yin]

I see. It looks like I just can't select them to play as mine? The comp just tried to load up the cards ... but said that 'Bloodthirsty' was not recognized.

Does this mean:
1) Those sets can be loaded for the AI and not the human player?
2) The error message means that set is not ready for 1.49?
3) Can I still play with that set despite the error?

[Yin]

Hmmm. I don't see emp files for these sets, though I know what you are talking about.

[Mark Walton]

"Bloodthirsty" should be a record in /data/Happiness.txt
Check there is a record in there
If there is, then the race you are using must have "Bloodthirsty" spelt wrong, or used in the wrong context

Regarding the .emp files; depends which shipset you have d/l but not all of them have .emps. Most do - check the zip file you d/l'd, make sure it hasn't extracted them somewhere funny

[Yin]

So if it lacks the emp file, can the AI play it but not the human player?
