Mods and Crap

Thanks SJ, I appreciate the help. I was really tired when I typed this up, and it shows.

Stand Alone Mod means that the mod is self contained and can run without copying over of files. I know that most mods are this way, but some have modified files. In that way I guess the TDM is not a SAM, but a mod that alters the the Race AI to use new components and facilities would be.

Because you can not take a NON Modded race with AI and put it into a SAM mod and have it work without errors.

Thanks, I had not figured for that. Again, I was too tired.

Oh, and by the way...

This is redundant. Fyron's Fyron's Quadrant Mod?

I get it. It was just an idea thats all. If it is redundant, so be it. It was just an idea.

Forget I mentioned it then.

Well, then using these categories Devnull Mod Gold (which wasn't mentioned earlier, *Rollo uses rolled up newspaper to twack Atrocities over the head.

) would fall into the following categories:

* game altering, stand-alone Mod
* comes with AI
* doesn't require image mod. But if you do have the image mod, you can delete the additional graphics in .../pictures/combat, .../pictures/components, and .../pictures/planets that come with DNM to save disk space.

Actually, AI Campaign should be in the same bracket as Proportions, IMHO.

Rollo, I only used an example. If I was not, I would most definately have included it.
