Tell more about the mod first. I'm sure I'm not the only one interested in knowing what I'm up against.
the mod adds i dont remember the exact number but i think like 106 factions to the game along with a list of the factions and a read me built in so you don't have to leave smac to look for a faction, it has its own installer though you may wana back up the smac folder cause the uninstaller removes some nessescary files, i like it and i see no reason to ever remove the mod...

thats the link to it if you wanna download it you may recognize alot of it because i mainly compiled it, a random ma for the game would be fine if you and/ or anyone else wants to play, at the moment only 2 are going to

So it's a compilation of all the new factions at www.networknode.org? Have you credited them? I couldn't find any file called readme.txt, so I wonder if you called the readme file something else.
im pretty sure i credited them somewhere in the installer if i did'nt i feel great remorse that i did not and i will include a readme crediting them in the zip, but as far as how to use the mod just install it though it will only work if ur copy of alpha centauri is in its default folder

Good point, sorry. But if you know that nobody reads the stuff in the installer, why did you put it there?
The installer puts the files into "C:\Program Files\Firaxis Games\Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri". If the SMAC install is not there, you can just copy and paste the files from there to the folder where SMAC is installed. It's as easy as that. It doesn't overwrite any of the original files. But if it is as you say that the uninstaller removes some of the original files things might get problematic.
Couldn't you at least say what files this install edits? (I found none, but I didn't look closely.) That way it we can just backup those files instead of the whole folder.
Apart from that, I think it's great that somebody has gone as far as bundling all factions from www.networknode.org. It saves the rest of us a lot of clicking if we want them all...
BTW, please stop double-posting. Using the "Edit" button is not a sin, you know. You can just put "Edit:" in front of what you've added.

i put it there to give them cred legal whatever idk
i probly could've said what files but i was more interested in finishing it before i got annoyed with it
srry bout the double posting,
it does overwrite a few files a few pics and the main.scm file i believe, you can tell because in game the main image contains the list of factions,
so you up for a game cause there will be 3 of us

Naw, I don't think so (at least not now; it's midnight were I live). I was only wondering what this mod does.
