Adding Races

mottlee · #1 September 24th, 2002, 04:57 PM

Hey If I D/L a Race and I want to add it to another mod do I add it into the mods race file or SE4G race file?

Add it to the mod's Pictures/Races folder, if it has one.
Otherwise, adding it to Se4's folder will do.

If the mod has a separate races folder, the mod may not work right with the normal AIs.
P&N, for example, needs AIs that understand Quasi-newtonian propulsion, and that will always choose the "normal" racial trait.

As S.J. wrote, put that race into the "your favorite mod"/pictures/races directory. You might neeed some tweaks been done to AI files. The best way is to choose the most meanicing AI from the mod you are playing and copy its files into your new race. Some care must be obviously be taken with AI_general.txt file !

MayBe.......in some cases YUP! but there are other reasons. I did it and not in this post

Actually I'm glad he did.
I currently have a Race directory here:
F:\Space Empires IV Gold\TDM-ModPack\Pictures\Races
and here:
F:\Space Empires IV Gold\Pictures\Races
Do I need both?
