mod pack problem

[Lekw]

Hello everyone I am new to this forum and just started playing Space empires IV. I have the gold edition and have tried to use the Mobpack for the gold Version. However, I have unziped it followed the directions and continue to get the same error message. It reads:

Unknown value "ships/sat" for weapon target in record "anti-ship warhead I."

Unknown value "ships/sat" for weapon target in record "anti-ship warhead II."

Unknown value "ships/sat" for weapon target in record "anti-ship warhead III."

I then get only options to exit or credits. I have no idea how to fix this problem. Thanks in advance for any info or help.

This should be posted in the main SE4 forum, which is Here (http://216.167.123.13/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=forum;f=23)

The answer would probably be that you are trying to install an SE4 Classic mod into your SE4 Gold.

Look for a Gold Version on the forum above.

Sorry about that, I was not sure if I posted in the right place and I did repost it. As for you idea about the problem that does not seem to be the case. I downloaded the mobpack for the gold edition or at least that is what it said on the download page. I also did get it from the forum you linked. Any other help is welcome.

This happens pretty frequently when a classic mod is ported to gold. The allowable target types are different. What usually happens is that there is a space hidden before or after the text in the target type, or the \ is entered as a /.

Open up the "components" file in the data directory, and scroll down until you find the entries for anti-ship warheads. Make sure there aren't any blank spaces after the entry "ships\sat" (and make sure the slant is \ and not /).

That should fix the problem. If not, check back in the SE4 forum, and tell 'em grumbler sent ya!
