I'm doing a MP Proportions game, and the Sergetti seem to be building mostly escorts. (as in, 20 escorts, 2 carriers, with the odd light cruiser thrown in somewhere) Unless that isn't an AI that has been tweaked..?

Ah, ok. There are some AI I haven't tested a lot, and while they are not like the old ones which would mainly build escorts, they are set up to build a bunch of escorts and not a whole lot else for a while. It'd probably be good to go adjust some of this.

"point defence mount" is quite funny -
You can have "Point defence Wave-Motion Gun"
Pitty it is still can not target fighters

May be restrict point-defence mount to weapons that can target fighters, like APB or MB. Not a major issue of course and a lot of work to fish out all weapon family numbers. Ahh, forget it

Heh, ya, I know. I made the PD mounts before 1.78, when there were no such options. However, with the defensive bonuses of small ships, a PD Wave Motion Gun might actually be a reasonable thing to build, if your enemy is fielding packs of small nimble attack boats.

Pvk,

This might sound strange, but when I attempt to extract the 2.5 zip file, I get a directory structure only - no files. Yet, when I attempt to extract the files a second time to the same location, I get a overwrite confirmation on text files that don't appear.

When I look at the zip file in WinAce, I get only the directory structure. However, when I look at the Proportions 2.4.2 zip file, everything looks normal.

Could you take a look at this to see if the problem is with your zip file or with my machine.

Thanks!

I had no problems with unzipping. very strange.

Okay, I found the problem. Apparently the zip file makes a subdirectory called Proportions under the Proportions2.5 directory. It apparently duplicated the structure (or I extracted it incorrectly).

Anyway, once I cut and pasted the lower complete structure to where it was supposed to be everything is fine.

What program are you using to extract the files, Nitey?

What a pendantic bastard I am...

BTW, I want to point out that I spelled it correctly in 13 out of 14 places.

Pvk,

I used WinAce, and it was as Geoschmo said. I used the default name as I always do and it put a empty structure along with a proportions subdirectory under a directory name of Proportions 2.5. As Geoschmo points out this is not actually a bad feature as I kept my Proportions 2.4.2 directory intact in case I want to revert back (or look back) at files that you or I have changed. I'll just have to make a mental note for next time to skip the empty directories from above and extract only the directory stucture under the proportions directory.
