My problem is that they are not "my" races and I'm reluctant to change other Modders files. Further, if I change them and request files for the next release of the TDM I might get non-fixed files back from the Modder and include them in the pack accidentally. So I would really like to ask you to post the Modders personally about the problem and ask them to sent me their revised files. You could really do me a favour with this!

For the Sallega, I will galdy try to get in touch directly with God Emperor about the errors there.

Yet, as far as I can tell the Abbidon and Cryslonite are stock SEIV Gold even in TDM 3.30. The files have the same save dates as the ones in SEIV Gold and these races are not mentioned at all in the TDM Readme or release notes. So I can't find anyone to contact about these except you (if I am wrong please give me the names to contact). I could also maybe contact Aaron since the errors are in stock SEIV as well, but it would be easier and MUCH faster to just mod the corrections in TDM I think. I can give you more details, send you the files, take responsibility, whatever you need to fix these two races.

Good point, Cybersol.

Please sent me the correct stock files and I will include them in a future release. You find my EMail in the readme, I don't want to post it in the forum (SPAM).

cybersol, krsqk:

Thanks to both for the extra time (it would be cool if that really worked)!

As to which of my AI's are the best, the Rage have always been tough, and could probably be tweaked, and I like the Azorani quite a bit. The Vandron AI used to be pretty effective, but I haven't really tested it much since converting it to Gold.

Done and Done. Let me know if there is anything else I can do.

I would like to help as well, in a few weeks...

The Vandron is one of my favorite Ship Sets. The Vandron and Atrocities Last Ship Set release are the Sets I personally use in all my games.

If the designer of the Vandron would not mind, I would like to do something with the AI.

I do not have the README and the Vandron is not in TDM, does anyone know who the designer is, I have been using this race for over a year.

Am I correct in assuming this is Chewy027 Ship Set design?

Alpha Kodiak if it is ok with you, I would like a crack at the Vandron AI.

Cybersol, I've worked a lot on pirates and pexlerr AIs, but they haven't been tested against other AIs to see their real efficiency.
Spacesharks'AI is a unmodded Version of the TDM orks.

I'm interested in the result of your investigations, to add info about the quality of the AIs in the racedir.

I'm also interested by the working Version of emp files for Chaos race.

see y@

The designer is definitely Chewy027, you can find the Vandron readme on the Gold CD in Extras\AlphaKodiakChewyRaceStylePack.zip.
