HELP! File not found

[kevlord]

I understand that but:
The game will run with the data files I currently have. If I copy those same data files into another folder and launch the game from there it doesn't work. The files are the same hench my confusion.

[Captain Kwok]

Are those data files in a directory within the mod directory, i.e.:

modname/data

If not, then that might be your problem.

[kevlord]

Yes they are in MODS/DATA.

Keep in mind that this was all working fine one day and broke the next. Right now I have no mods, I am using just the SEIV data copied into MODS folder and the game fails.

[Captain Kwok]

Hmm...

I'm not sure what the problem could be. I was going to suggest perhaps one of the files is missing or not copied. As you describe it, it should work fine.

Are you calling to "Mods" in Path.txt, or "C:\Space Empires IV\Mods" (assuming SE4 is the install folder)? It should be "Mods". It is a relative path, not an absolute path.

[kevlord]

I am calling "MODS" in path.txt

What I did today....

I removed anything remotely related to SEIV from my computer (after burning my mods to CD)
I uninstalled SEIV.

I installed SEIV GOLD from the CD. Version 1.60

I applied the SE4 Patch and nnow have the game at 1.78

I created a mod folder called MODS.

I copied all of the unmodded data into the MODS folder.

I changed my path.txt in the root SEIV folder.

I launched a game.

When I hit the end turn button after my first turn I get an error message "File Not Found" and the game hangs.

I would appreciate any help whatsoever.

When I hit the end turn button after my first turn I get an error message "File Not Found" and the game hangs.

If it were a datafile error, I would expect the error to appear earlier... Is it possible that this issue is related to missing AI files?
