You have to tell the AI exactly what weapon families to use, in the AI unit design files for each AI, because, as you have seen, it will obey those files and ignore unit type restrictions.

In the research files, you must tell the AI what to research. You can get that list from your TechArea.txt file.

Under RaceName_AI_DesignCreation, (Ship designs)
You must tell the design what weapon family to use.

Thanks to the both of you, but figured it out yesterday and is working now.

BUT next problem, I tried to upload it to the PBW mod section but got some error....

I used the windows XP standard zip-function, is that enough or must it really be winzip.

Or maybe some other problem ??!!

It shouldn't matter what you use to create the zip file; can you remember what error you got?

[geoschmo]

PBW doesn't actually use the winzip application to zip and unzip the files. It compresses and uncompresses them in the zip standard format using java. I am unfamilier with the XP zip utility. Does the resulting file have a .zip extension and is in the zip standard format? If so it should work. If not, that is why it isn't.

What error are you getting? There may be some other problem happening.

Intimidator, is your mod called "Stellar Relations"? If so, your fellow PBW player (Sefter Aruna) gave me a copy of it Last night. So far it looks promising but ran into a few problems I working on(I hope I can fix them). I have not spent much time on it maybe this weekend I can.

[The Frans]

Geoschmo and Ed Kolis both asked for the error, sorry but that is in DUTCH , but didn't make sense of it myself (And I speak dutch some 30 years now ?? )

But main problem was : 'Could not find Server' (that must be bull**** !!)

Geoschmo maybe you could try to place some stuff yourself, So we will know that I'm the faillure and not PBW. (I know it's lies by me , but want to know for sure!!)

BTW, Are there other sites where I could drop an MOD !!

Sorry I know it are all newbies questions but You have to start somewhere I guess.........
