What exactly do you mean ? You can not download or SEIV gives you error message ? If later, it is most likely because pre-Gold AI in SeIV-Gold game and vice versa. Please be more specific and we will help you.

Have you tried looking at the mod's readme files to see whether you've installed the mod properly?

(I doubt that you have, since you couldn't be bothered to look in them to see who wrote the mod.

)

Capnq's sig points to a forum entry for bringing pre-Gold races into Gold. Did you try that. Did it fix the problem? Some very old races have something called Filler Tech in their research file. You will have to remove it. I did both of these to bring an old Urquan race into SE4 Gold.

shamanblues, you've posted this same question before. And you got this answer before. Are you trying these tips, and are they working? You didn't respond afterwards that they worked or not.

Some people have designed AI's two years ago and moved on. The binary file does not age and die, however. They may not be browsing this forum. One guy a while back was writing AI's without having the SE4 game. You may be using old races if you're encountering errors.

There are new races for you to try, just be a little selective.

Seams like Atrocities forgot to include the files in his actual 1.79 Version of the borg.

Try to dowload the 1.78 Version, the missing files are still included there.

If you want to continue a savegame (simultanous)you have to first login as game master (host) and end the turn.
You can not play a turn directly after modifing the data files.
This way you'll miss one turn.
To prevent missing the turn, play your turn with the data-files you've started the game and then end the turn as host with the new data files.

If you've problems launching se4, make sure you've only 1 return line between the end of the TEXT and the ========== Lines as stated in the "Installing Borg Teck Tree.txt" file.

This way i was able to "mod" it in my running games for SE IV Gold v1.78 (Patch 2).
