Malcolm dropped me an email that should help those of you who don't have the English language version of Emperor but still want to use his MiniMod, check out what he sent below:

For those who own the non-english version of Emperor Battle For Dune, MiniMod version 1.25 does not work properly (which will cause emperor not being able to launch). To fix this problem, delete these two files from your emperordata directory - strings0002.rfd and strings0002.rfh (for example : c:westwoodemperordatastrings0002.rfd).

This will not cut down on any of the mod's features, except that the new advanced windtrap structure will not have a name on the sidebar. As a reminder, this is only for those who own the NON-ENGLISH version of E:BFD, those who do OWN it don't need to worry about this problem.

Also, Hoo sent in a program called BagTool he created for editing the .bag files found in Emperor. Check out part of what it does below:

This utility program is created to make custom bag files for customizing the music/dialog in the game.

Also, by combining bag files from the harddisk and the cdrom, the in-game music and dialog from the cdrom can be streamed from the harddisk, avoiding constant access of the cdrom during the game. For more information, read the music.txt file in the /data directory.

There is more info provided in the download on how to install. You can download the MiniMod in the files section if you haven't already gotten it.
