Cannot load SE4\TDM\Empire files?

[Vger]

Hi,

Well, yes, I did indeed add a new racial trait. I added Assimilation and renamed it Borg Technology, so I wouldn't have to redo all the Borg techs. I wanted to be able to use assimilation tech and to give it to hostile races, as well.

So, I borrowed the Assimilation Racial Trait from another Version of the Borg and am trying to use it with the current, popular Version.

While I'm at it, how does this current Borg Version keep everyone from researching Borg tech, since it's not a Racial Trait?

What I've done so far is:

Make new empire files for the ones I wanted to play with in my next game.

Tell them to use racial style ministers.

Pick out their abilities as listed in their general.txt files.

Save the empires.

Having done all that, now I get range errors trying to start the game while it's creating the map. Is there a list somewhere of what the max values are for settings in Settings.txt, Planet types, Racial Traits, Components, Facilities and Tech Areas?

I don't remember running across such a list, but will now go in search of.

BTW, thank you, all of you, so much for your replies. I read a lot more than I post on here and it is so great so many people be helpful and have discussions without flames.

The only other board I've seen this cooperative for a game is the one for Europa Universalis and they don't quite come up to this level.

Engage,
