Extra Races

[JeffG]

I see that the \pictures\races directory contains many more races than are in the empires directory. The races are those that you would actually see in a game, but you cannot add them as players because there are no empire files for them. Am I missing some files? If not, how do I get these empires choosable for a new game?

you would have to build a shipset and AI files for them, place that new race out in same area of folder of other races, then star game, do "new race' then go to the pic of your race then add their attributes, then star a game with them then "save empire" if ya want them as a 'persistent" empire/race.

What I did was make a list of all the races in \pictures\races. Then start some games with large numbers of AI players. Switch them to manual control and then save the empire files as .emp. Repeat until all are accounted for.

Also somebody may have posted all the .emp files in the mods group.

That's a good idea, Resident Alien. I just don't understand why they aren't available to begin with.
