STARGATE INVASION DIP 1.34 MOD will work ONLY on SoaSE: Diplomacy version 1.34
First: Go to the mod directory of SoaSE: Diplomacy.
The sins mod folder locations are:
For Windows XP users:
C:\Documents and Settings\"your user name" \local settings\ Application Data\Ironclad Games\ Sins of a solar empire\Mods-Diplomacy v1.34
NOTE: "Your User Name" is your windows account name. Whatever administraitor user name you log into windows as.
For Vista, and Windows 7 users:
C:\Users\"your user name"\AppData\Local\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Mods-Diplomacy v1.34
(You may have to change your folder settings to show hidden files, and folders in your window options)
C:\Users\"your user name"\AppData\Local\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Mods-Diplomacy v1.34
(You may have to change your folder settings to show hidden files, and folders in your window options)
You found the right mod folder, right? Good. If not might i suggest taking some computer classes.
Now create a new folder in Mods-Diplomacy v1.34 called "SGI DIP 1.34 MOD ". Then open the mods rar/7ZIP file (what you downloaded), Open the SGI DIP 1.34 MOD folder inside it to show the folders "galaxy, gameinfo, mesh, textures, etc. etc".
Now create a new folder in Mods-Diplomacy v1.34 called "SGI DIP 1.34 MOD ". Then open the mods rar/7ZIP file (what you downloaded), Open the SGI DIP 1.34 MOD folder inside it to show the folders "galaxy, gameinfo, mesh, textures, etc. etc".
Select all from there, and drag it all into your newly created SGI DIP 1.34 MOD folder. Now inside the SGI DIP 1.34 FOLDER you should see the folders Galaxy, Gameinfo, Mesh, Textures, Etc. Along with the files "entity.manifest, playerpictures.manifest, skybox.manifest, Etc Etc. If you see a folder called SGI DIP 1.34 MOD after extracting. Then you did something wrong.
Yes, it would be simpler to just drag the SGI DIP 1.34 MOD folder into your mod folder, but there are too many computer "inepts" out there. We had too many instances of TWO SGI folders being created. One inside of the other. I posted the "hard way" to avoid this from happening. Are you mad yet? GOOD. That means you are paying attention. Keep reading.
Start SoaSE: Diplomacy, Navigate to the Options\Mods screen, You should see "SGI DIP 1.34" on the list of mods. Select "SGI DIP 1.34 MOD", and enable the mod. The game will pause for a bit while the mod loads. When the mod is loaded you should see a nice SGI DIP 1.34 MOD. Set up a game like any normal sins game, and enjoy.
Diplomacy keeps mods enabled untill you disable them manually. So SGI will run every time you start Diplomacy untill you disable it.
For best results run the mod on a CLEAN install of Sins with no other mods active. Download the latest version of Sins, and Expansions via Impulse. (Diplomacy v1.34 as of this mod version)

The SGI DIP 1.34 MOD, and greater will work ONLY on Sins of a Solar Empire: Diplomacy. Patched to version 1.34. Yes i already stated that above. I am stating it AGAIN to make sure you are reading this. We have had one too many people asking "what version is this mod for?", because they dont bother to read the README.
