Oh, Canada

I tried doing a 4th race modification, for the pictures, and it worked just fine, it recognized the 4th row of pictures on a 4th race marker I copied from the TEC files. Unfortunately, I used a copy of the Reference Files folder as my base, and the game wouldn't recognize anything but the small map-set (I thought Reference Files was supposed to be the base for new mods)
Anyway, it's really easy to do (should have brought those files too) I called the new race "Fourth", and made copies of several of the key filesets from the TEC base, and modified the files as I suggested. It started up and I braced myself for a minidump, (thought it would give me at least some type of glitch or something)...
It recognized all my string files for it too, and I selected it on the player startup, (My picture was of a Borg, since I was keeping all my spare Borg pics in that 4th row for storage)...
I must bring it...
