SEV: Using custom races on PBW

[Captain Kwok]

Look at it this way:

The Balance Mod has folders for all the stock races with a few of the .txt files and no other images besides the small flags. The PBW server runs Balance Mod games using the stock races just fine right? So, any custom set should work just fine if they are setup in the same fashion...

Now, does the server need the custom ship images in order to run correctly? Perhaps. If there's a flag in the code that is set to TRUE when the images are found, it might mean if it returned FALSE (no images found) it would make the game pick a new set to display for that race... we should check that out as this might also be true for the first .gam file generated by the host in a PBW game as well. If it works along those lines, then the custom sets should just need their images on the server (or hosts' install) in the stock empires folder.
