Another Question - Empire Files

What considerations do you need to make when taking race files from one mod and adding them to another? Or can you just copy from ...Empires\*.* and ...Pictures\Races\*.* and put them in the correct places? Do you have to worry about any data files?

Yes, the data files for most mods have to be compatable other wise they may conflict. This also applies to AI files as well. What Mods are you combining?
But you can take the Pics in some mods as long as the Text files are not changed from the base mod...

For example you like the way a ship set looks, and you want this for Your set, then it should not be a problem, use style from race OFF. However if you want the AI to play that race, then you could copy another Race_AI text data set from another race in that base mod you are playing to the folder you copied the race pics to.
