SPACE EMPIRES IV GOLD NOTICE - PLEASE READ!

[Phoenix-D]

OK, first thing to do is get the *latest* Version, which is 2.0. The Version you have may or may not work with 1.49, I don't remember. If you have SE4 Gold, get the 3.0 Version.

http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/newup...1015284449.zip is the link to 2.0. 3.0 is at the top of the same forum.

When you say you extracted it, and can see it, you have a folder named TDM-Modpack in your SE4 directoy, and not a bunch of seperate folders, right? Assuming you do, it should be installed correctly.

Now, since you seem to be having problems with the path file, download this http://members.cox.net/phoenix-d/path.txt file. Put that file in your MAIN SE4 directory. Windows will complain that you're overwriting a file; tell it yes, you want to overwrite. That should switch you over the the TDM modpack, no matter what TDM Version you have.

EDIT: If THAT doesn't work, tell me what Version of SE4 you have and exactly where it is, and I'll make an install program for you.

For exactly where it is, I just need the sequence of folders you'd go to. Say, on my computer:
I go to My Computer, then the C: drive, then Games, then Space Empires IV. Also known as: C:\Games\Space Empires IV. Either way works, just make sure you spell everything right.

Phoenix-D -

I downloaded it as you instructed. It's over 8 meg, so it took some time.

The transfer of the files from my web PC to my game PC must wait until Thursday. I have run out of time tonight. So, I will try and post my results.

Oh, btw, I do have a folder called "TDM ..." in the SEIV folder, and not just individual files.

Thanx, for your attempt to help me. let you know Thursday (assuming I can get the cable to work).

*** On your "path" fix. I only get a broken link or similar report when i click on it. ***

Tim,

I have gotten a pay by cheque order number, it is SGS54152. This option included the $84 shipping. I also tried again by credit card, just in case I had done something silly yesterday, but it also carried the $84 charge.

Growltigga, myself and various others are hoping to start a game soon, so if shipping direct is going to be pricy, I would be happy to go via his safe hands. The only real concern is that he is a lawyer and prone to take 10% of the CD as his cut, so I would need to download a patch afterwards...
