Proportions Version 2.0 available

[Tnarg]

Is it possible to use a ship set from the Universal Ship Yards in the Prop 2.0 mod for my self to play?

[Fyron]

Yep. Just copy it into the Proportions Races folder, and you'll be good to go! Just make sure not to let it ever be under AI control, as that could cause problems.

I haven't studied them yet, but I assume they will alter the AI races slightly, but mainly will get them to choose characteristics and traits more effectively. Since I changed the values of these without tweaking the AI setup, in some cases some of the AI's may not spend enough points or not take any traits (spending all their points on characteristics).

You would just want to extract these files on top of the Proportions AI files. They aren't in 2.0 but I will add something like this when I get around to doing 2.1.

Fyron is right, but if you just want to use the ship sets and not the AI (which will be designed for another mod), you can put them in your SE4/Pictures/Races folder. You'll still be able to select the ship set when creating an empire running Proportions. Just don't set it to use the minister style of the race - choose aggressive, defensive, or neutral.

I think though that if you do include the AI files for the ship set, and you DON'T choose some of those empires, and then generate random AI empires for a game, it might choose one of those AI's, and try to use the ship set's non-Proportions AI, in which case, it would be best to either remove the AI files from those ship sets, or add renamed copies of some Proportions AI to a Proportions/Pictures/Races/[nameofshipset] folder.

I hope that made sense...

I think that all he wanted to do was use one of the races for his empire, so I didn't go and make a long-winded post like yours. You answered an unasked question. Of course, the question was bound to come up sooner or later anyways, so it's probably best that you answered it now.

Ya, I'm getting sleepy, so I shouldn't be trying to answer questions. Your answer to Dogscoff on the other thread points out too that I should have said that if the pictures are in the main se4/pictures/races/my_race directory, then there needs to be a blank folder called Proportions/pictures/races/my_race.

Yeah, sleep-deprivation makes fools of us all. I should probably be getting to bed soon too, so I don't start acting like you. (j/k)
