Mod Picker utility

[Quikngruvn]

So you're playing five or six PBEM/PBW games, and each of them uses a different mod pack, and you use a totally diffrent mod pack for your solo games, and you're getting fed up with having to manually change path.txt everytime you switch games.

The solution: Mod Picker 1.0!

How it works: inside the zip file are copies of path.txt for each of the supported mods (none of which are actually called path.txt, so your current file is not overwritten). After you place these path*.txt files in your SEIV, just run the batch file pickmod.bat, choose the mod you want to play, and path.txt will automatically be changed to point to the mod you want. Pickmod.bat can be run from any folder on your computer (such as your desktop), as it is set to first direct itself to the SEIV folder.

A couple of caveats:
1. SEIV must have been installed to the default path.
2. There must be a folder for each installed mod in your SEIV directory for path.txt to point to. (If you pick a mod that you don't have installed or don't have a directory for, SEIV will use the default configuration.)

See mpreadme.txt for more information, and also how to adapt it for your own fiendish plans.

(I wasn't sure where to put this-- if it really belongs elsewhere, someone please guide me to the proper place.)
