Settings.txt not working

[Mr. ?]

I made a Mod directory called MyData where I have added a few components & a few other misc things but when I try to start the game it says it cannot use the file Settings.txt. I thought I might have messed something up accidentally in settings so I copied the original & used it to replace the one in MyData but it still wouldn't work. How do I fix this?

Did you change path.txt to point to the new directory?

[Skulky]

System Ship Movement Delay Milliseconds := 0
Use Old Log Political Message Display := FALSE

that might be your problem, at the start and the end of the settings.txt file

I looked and that isn't in settings.txt. Should I add them?

Yes

I am using the original Version (the one that is on the CD) I have just tried making a mod directory that is an exact copy of the un-modded files & I still got the error message. It will not let me use any directory except the original & I cannot figure out why.

The Version in the original SE4 cd is very outdated, get Last patch.

Also data directory sould be ..\Mymod\Data

That's your problem. I don't think the original SE4 supported mod directories.
