Most of the mods are for 1.49, though I've seen some Gold.

I'm by no means an expert, but I'd be happy to help out. What do you need help with? There are some great modding guides out there as well that go over quite a bit.

You might want to start a new thread out in the main area to attract more attention.

To add a new race you need to make a folder for the race in Space Empires IV\Pictures\Races, then put all the .bmp and AI files in that folder. The folder has to have the same name as the beginning of the .bmp filenames. (Most mods are set up so that you can just unzip the .zip file into that folder.) If there's an .emp file, it goes in Space Empires IV\Empires, and if there's a .txt file with ship design names, it goes in Space Empires IV\Dsgnname .

Thanks Capnq. I will follow these instructions and pray I do it right. Not use to altering files and such. Thanks again to everyone for the help.

Here is the latest Cylons ship set.
1015357762.zip
All ships are now included.
This set will work with 1.49. if you wish to use it with the gold please instal this file in the data folder also.

That way you will be able to see the Small, medium and large drones, sats and mines.
If you do not install this file then you will only see the default drone, sat and mine.

I am still working on the AI so, let me know how it functions.

P.s sorry for the delay, I have been sick for over a month now.

A note on Dracus' uploads:
- the second file should be renamed to vehiclesize.txt
- the vehiclesize.txt should be placed in a modfolder to avoid losing your original SE4 datafiles.

Thank SJ,

One other thing, if you load the txt file, the other races will still use the default drone, sat, and mine bmp they come with.
The way the gold works, is if you do not have the primary picture, it defaults to the secondary; which is in my file set to the standard. So You can use the Cylons with any others and not worry about adding more pictures to the others.
