Which mod is best?

[Fyron]

FQM (Fyron's Quadrant Mod) makes drastic changes to the systems, planets, and quadrants. Most solar systems have an asteroid belt in them. There are many, many more moons of all atmospheres, and some small and medium moons too. There are many new quadrant types too, such as Newborn, Super Grid, and Threaded Spiral. Asteroids, warp points, and stars are given some random abilities to make them less bland.

The best part of FQM is that a map generated with it can be used with ANY mod, or with the standard game.

I like the combination of Fyrons Quadrant Mod with the TDM pack.
The most important part of using mods is the Mod Launcher. It allows you to move between mods very easily.

How do you combine TDM and Fyron's mod.

I have TDM on tap, I think I have the mod launcher, where do I get Fyron's mod and how do I combine them?

FQM is linked to in Fyron's Sig. That shoulda been the first place to look.

Tigga, first, download and unzip Fyron's mod into SE IV directory. Second - back up "data" folder in TDM directory (rename it or make a copy). Then copy either whole "data" folder from Fyron mod to TDM mod folder or only selected files - secttype.txt, stellarabilitytypes.txt, planetsize.txt, quadranttypes.txt, systemtypes.txt, systemnames.txt from fyron/data to TDM/data. Settings.txt is optional. If you copied whole "data" folder, you will need to copy "formations.txt" from backed-up TDM data folder to new data folder. Now, when you launch TDM mod, it will use Fyron' quadrants.

Word of warning: Sometimes SE IV screw up homeworlds in Fyron' mod. I edited systemtypes.txt to avoid this problem. Unfortunately, there is no more medium-sized moons but you can be sure that all homeworlds have been generated correctly.

Hopefully Aaron can get that little bug fixed soon.
