Favorite Mod that has decent fighters? - Page 2

Well, I tried to set up Adamant, but the stuff about FQM and Image pack was not clear. And what the heck is this torrent stuff?

Image Mod can be found here: http://imagemod.spaceempires.net/

You need all 5 packs.

What was unclear, specifically?

I found a file called Adamant FQM.exe, which I ran. I created a bunch of directories. All I need are the system images?

Seems like there is a bunch of extra stuff in there.

The part about needing all 5 packs. It seemed like there should have been just one. I will try again!

Thanks!

DN3 had no AI support so silly things like that happened. DN4 however has TDM AI tweaked to work with the mod (thanks again to Aiken for that work). I haven't seen the AI produce any weaponless units anymore.

Oh, and DN4 adds a couple new mounts for fighter too from DN3.

Adamant FQM has the system images from FQM included already. It has everything that the Adamant Full file has, plus the required system iamges. All you need to add to it is the Image Mod.

Note that you need to download Adamant 0.15.00 Full (or FQM) and apply Adamant 0.15.03 Data file to it as a patch to get it to the latest Version...

FQM is a separate mod: http://fqm.spaceempires.net/

The image mod packs are separated for a reason. No sense in downloading the facilities again if all that was updated were component images.

That bit torrent thing is an alternative file transfer protocol. You can get all 5 packs compiled into one file from it, should you choose to use it instead. Otherwise, you must download all 5 packs separately.

Make sure to install the image mod into the stock Pictures folders, rather than in any specific mod. This way, all the mods that use it have instant access to the files.

It is a good point. Why download all the packs if only one has been updated?
