You mean a mod Version for pre-Gold?

(gulp)

I, uh, hadn't thought of that. Lately, I've been focused on whipping the current Version into shape for a PBW run. I'll have to go back and do a dry run with pre-Gold files to see if there's anything that would mess up the mod.

Umm, No, that's not what I meant.
I meant, is it possible for you to create a zip file with everything in it so that people could play the Highliner Mod without having to overwrite their se4 gold files.

Ahhh, that's what you meant.

Well, that's easy. Create a folder called "Highliner_Mod" within your main SEIV directory. Unzip my Mod files into it (and add the Image Mod and Neostandard pics to those folders as well). Then go to the "Path" textfile in your main folder and change the line...

Using Mod Directory := None

to read...

Using Mod Directory := Highliner_Mod

That should do the trick.

Alright. Thanks.

1.04 is out - and this will be the Last iteration for awhile (until some external playtests come in). Check out Efrafa Sector (link in my sig) for the download. Also, check the new thread (WANTED - Guinea Pigs) for an important announcement.

I believe he wanted you to make the zip file extract to the Highliner Mod folder by default. It should not be overwriting the SE4 files by default. This is common courtesy, and is how most mods are released.

and add the Image Mod and Neostandard pics to those folders as well

Actually, these are those mods that you want to install in the default SE4 folders, not in any mod folders. The whole point of these is to be a standard used by many mods. Installing them in particular mod folders is a waste of HD space and requires needless duplication. They do not replace any default images, just add new ones.

EDIT - I finally got what you guys were getting at. OK. Zip up the files already contained in a "mod" folder. Mea culpa.

EDIT - OK, the zipfile and website are updated and in-line with the standard.

There is a lot of junk (and I mean a lot) in the HTML of your web site. What did you use to make it?
