A question from a newbie

I just got SE4 in the mail yesterday, and I must say this is one great game. But I do have a problem. I downloaded and installed patch 1.35 after messing around with the game for a while, and that's when I noticed that the modifications I had made no longer worked. Before I had installed the patch I had taken the folder called Data and made a copy of it, this one I labeled MyData I changed the components.txt file and then went into Path.txt and replaced Data with MyData. Does anyone know what I should do to get the components I created to show up again? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

After you installed the patch, did you rename the path again?

Installing the patch resets PATH.TXT

When I noticed the components I made were gone I changed Path.txt to say MyData. It still did not work, though.

Did you make the components in a separate Components file? The patch overwrites the original files I think.

Nope, I checked the MyData file, It wasn't rewritten when I installed the patch. The only thing that I can see that was changed was the path.txt file. It says

using mod directory := none

I changed none to MyData but it still does not work, but it did before I installed the patch.
