Re: The neo-standard thread- Standardising additional hull sizes.
 

Perhaps instead of
Sub Set 1
Sub Set 2
Perhaps "Themantic Sets"
Pirates
Rock Paper Sissors
or by Catagory
Fighters, Troops, etc...

Re: The neo-standard thread- Standardising additional hull sizes.
 

Timstone, just release the stock shipset first! Then make updates to that set. Like dogscoff is doing with Neo set!

Just a thought!

dogscoff, tis true not all ship artist are the same. But real artist (no offence meant) are the same. They want more of their worked shown all over!

Re: The neo-standard thread- Standardising additional hull sizes.
 

Mlmbd: That's a good idea. Not bad at all. But how may pics are that?

Re: The neo-standard thread- Standardising additional hull sizes.
 

Timstone - thie thing to remember about the neostandard is that it's all optional. You can do all the images, some of them or none at all for your shipset. It will still be compatible with all mods, but the more images you do, the nicer it will look=-)

Re: The neo-standard thread- Standardising additional hull sizes.
 

The stock set 36 images, if I am not mistaken. So 18 or so ships with mini's. Plus 20 images, for the present Neo-Standard! Not to bad!

Re: The neo-standard thread- Standardising additional hull sizes.
 

Okay, I'll concentrate on the stockset first. Then I'll move on to a complete set compatible with most mods. Btw, is it possible to give each ship it's own pic? So a large mine has the pic of a large mine and the small mine has a pic of a small mine.

Re: The neo-standard thread- Standardising additional hull sizes.
 

Timstone; Sure, you can select any background you want for the portrait. As long as you make the mini with a Black background. And if you make an image of a large mine, you just need to name it that. Same goes for the small mine. Different images for each.

Re: The neo-standard thread- Standardising additional hull sizes.
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">You can make whatever images you like. The trick is in getting modders to use your extra images. That's what brought the neostandard into creation.

Extra mine pics would be good, as would sats and drones for reasons I've mentioned below.

Re: The neo-standard thread- Standardising additional hull sizes.
 

So far I've got 3 different mines, sats and drones. I'm beginning with the bases now. I'm planning 5 different bases (the B5Mod has 5 kinds of bases).
Thanks for the advise guys!

Re: The neo-standard thread- Standardising additional hull sizes.
 

Normal ships:
8 from the stock game pics + 5 from current NS = 13
Fyron seems to need more than these total 13, 4 more to get a total of 17 or can we unify some pic names?

No, they can't be unified. A light destroyer, destroyer and heavvy destroyer are not the same ship, just like light, medium and heavy cruisers are not the same ship. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Bases
3 stock + 1 NS = 4
BTW The Starbase is a stock pic, not neo-standard.

I don't know if the ones Fyron proposes should be here or in a special type.

SpaceFortress would definitely go in here. CargoStation could, or could be a CivilianStation or something. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Fighters:
3 stock + 2 NS = 5
Does Fyron proposes 6 more because he needs 11 pics?
Or only needs 6 in total or 6 + the 3 stock?

Not sure, but I will probably use Small-Medium for Attack Fighter, Interceptor and Heavy Interceptor. Orbital Fighter is supposed to be a fighter that can't move on the strategic map, only in combat. It is smaller than Small Fighter. The Bomber and Heavy Bomber are larger than Large Fighters. They should look a bit different than the other fighters though.

Troops:
3 stock + 1 NS = 4

For Troops, I have Infantry, Light Mechanized, Heavy Mechanized, Small, Medium and Heavy Battle Mechas. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif I think that the normal troop pics can be used for the Battle Mechas, and some new pics would be needed for Light and Heavy Mechanized. They can be named Small and Large if you really want, it doesn't matter too much.
