Default Re: Space Empires IV: Classic Mods (Pre-Gold)

capnq's Hypermaze mod v1.2

This mod adds a new quadrant type to the Set Up screen. A Hypermaze quadrant has about as many colonizable systems as an Ancient quadrant, but most of the non-colonizable systems are hyperspace zones.

This is the "lite" Version of the mod, which does not use any custom graphics.

HypermazeLite12.zip

The full Version of the mod is available in the main SE IV Data mods forum (link), in a post dated December 3, 2001. The full Version includes custom backgrounds for the hyperspace zones, and is over 7.9Megs.

TDM-ModPack Version 2.0, for download click here

TDM-ModPack 2.00
November 06, 2001

For use with Space Empires IV Version 1.49 only.

INTRODUCTION
==============
First - many thanks to the folks at Malfador Machinations ("MM") and Shrapnel Games for their continued support and communication with the gaming community. Since MM is dedicated to releasing a number of future patches, this "Mod" pack does not contain any modified tech trees, new components or facilities, just a major overhaul to the AI files to get the most of the current Version of SE4.

INSTALLING THE TDM-MODPACK
===========================
AUTO-INSTALLER - Just double-click on the file and follow the instructions.

UN-INSTALLING THE TDM-MODPACK (OPTION 1)
=========================================
(1) Copy the file "original Path.txt" from the TDM-ModPack folder to your Space Empires IV folder.

(2) Delete the file "Path.txt" in your Space Empire IV folder.

(3) Rename the file "Original Path.txt" now located in the Space Empire IV folder to "Path.txt".

(4) The game will now run with it's default settings. The "TDM-ModPack" folder is still present. You can either delete it now or keep it to reinstall the TDM-ModPack if you desire to do so. To re-install the ModPack, follow the instructions for un-install but use the "TDM-ModPack Path.txt" instead.

UN-INSTALLING THE TDM-MODPACK (OPTION 2)
=========================================
(1) Open the file "Path.txt" in your Space Empires IV folder.

(2) Alter this line:

Using Mod Directory := TDM-ModPack

to

Using Mod Directory := None

(3) Save and close the file "Path.txt".

(4) The game will now run with it's default settings. The "TDM-ModPack" folder is still present. You can either delete it now or keep it to reinstall the TDM-ModPack if you desire to do so. To re-install the ModPack, follow the instructions for un-install but use the "TDM-ModPack Path.txt" instead.

THE SE4 LAUNCHER UTILITY BY MATRYX
===================================
We are happy to be able to incorporate one of the best utilities created by a fellow player for those that use mods with this game. This utility was designed by Matryx and is included with his express permission. It allows you to choose a particular "mod" folder upon starting SE4. This utility will be automatically installed along with the TDM-ModPack and will be located in your main SE4 folder. For more detailed information be sure to read the file "SE4Launcher.doc" located in the main SE4 directory after installation. To use:

(1) Press your "Start" button on the windows task bar, select "Programs," then select "Shrapnel Games" and click on the program called "SE4 ModLauncher"
(2) When the utility starts, choose the mod in the left most column that you would like to use for this game by clicking once with the mouse (note- the utility automatically creates these choices based on the list of folders located in your main directory and is designed to give your information for each mod that contains a "modinfo.txt" file)
(3) Once your selection is made, click the button called "Play SEIV."
(4) That's it! If you selected the "TDM-ModPack" you should be greeted with our specially modified intro screen to let you know your selection was successful.

INSTALLING OTHER MODS
======================
Make sure to install all other MODs you download into the "TDM-ModPack" folder and do not edit or override the "Path.txt" in your Space Empires IV folder. Following these instructions makes sure you don't cripple your ModPack installation involuntarily.
BEWARE: Overriding any files in the "TDM-ModPack" folder may disrupt your ModPack installation!
