I was wondering if someone could give me, or point me to the directions on how to use new factions in SMAC. I think I've done everything I need to. (download faction, unzip into SMAC folder, select load faction during game creation) However, I keep getting a "Faction Parser" error saying things like 'faction name jedi could not be found in faction file jedi' or something along those lines.
Does anyone have a moron's guide to using new factions? I'm assuming I'm missing something, but I don't know what.
TIA!

Try downloading and unzipping again. There may be in error in the file. That method should work. You can also add the faction using alpa.txt, especially if you want to play against that faction.

I don't know where you got the faction files from, but it's also possible that the copy on that particular website is corrupted somehow.
I just d/l the Jedi faction from www.sidgames.com and it's working fine. You might give that one a try...
