How to verify a mod is correctly "installed"
« on: October 16, 2016, 07:02:44 pm »
Hello,

I've just installed the game (this version https://www.gog.com/game/sid_meiers_alpha_centauri), downloaded the Vicious AI mod (a zip with txt files), unzipped it into the main game folder, overwritting the same-named-files, and started the game.

But upon creating a new game, it seems that the mod is not "active": I don't see changes (in this case in the difficulty level names)

So, how to make sure a mod is correctly installed? :)

First question: are you using Vanilla or Crossfire? Is the mod specifically built for one of these?

Mod changes come in different packages. You'll have to ask someone else about changed difficulty level names but even if that didn't work correctly, the other rules probably did. Vicious AI starts the Spartans off with perimeter defenses in every base (if memory serves). Load it up and see if they benefit from that.

Remember, genes are NOT blueprints. This means you can't, for example, insert the genes for an elephant's trunk into a giraffe and get a giraffe with a trunk. There are no genes for trunks. What you CAN do with genes is chemistry, since DNA codes for chemicals. For instance, we can in theory splice the native plants' talent for nitrogen fixation into a terran plant.
