Re: Space Vikings sneak preview
 

The broken links on the website are deliberate. I didn't want to spoil this release by making all the images available too early.

I'll be updating the website soon. Also, you may have noticed a readme.htm file in the zip alongside the readme.txt - it's a good way of viewing the shipset.

I'm hoping to update the images again before the CD burn - there's still lots of work to do.

That is one nice looking shipset, what programs did you use?

On a scale of one to cool, that shipset is freakin awesome....

Re: Space Vikings sneak preview
 

Thanks, they may look nice but wait 'til you play the AI- it's a right vicious b@stard=-) It was all drawn pixel by pixel in paintshop pro. Details at the official space viking homepage.

I updated the site Last night BTW, so most of the images are up. Hoping to upload the remainder tonight.


Keep your eyes open for new updates- there's loads of stuff to go in yet.

Oh, and Zero - how's your mod coming along? I haven't seen any updates on your site in a while. I noticed you're using the starbase image for your megaship & megabase hulls - why not use the battlemoon ones? There is a generic image in S_J's pirates mod for those races that don't supply their own. Please take a look at the "non-standard images" thread before changing your mod though.

Very nice graphics! I really enjoyed the ground troops- very amusing http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: Space Vikings sneak preview
 

Hey dogscoff, just got your email.

I think I will use the battlemoon pic. I just updated my webpage with a new Version of my mod. It just adds a few things, I don't have a whole lot of time to work on it right now.

I thought you might have created those images by hand. I feel inspired, maybe I'll do a hand drawn shipset. Ahhh, but where to find the time. Hmmmm... Well, I'm off to shoplift some clocks.

Captain, I found your pants.

Re: Space Vikings sneak preview
 

Good news about the battlemoon. Did you look at the other thread? We are still deciding what filename to use for the battlemoon images, so wait for a conclusion on that before changing your vehiclesize.txt or you might find that your mod isn't comaptible.

There's a lot to be said for hand-drawn. Sure, 3D is great for ships, but when it comes to things like racial portraits and ground based images, I think hand drawn is best. Perhap a "hybrid" shipset would be bset.

bump

Just because the attachments aren't working at the moment.

Here is the latest Version of the Vikings.

Not a new Version still 0.96 (pre-CD-release).

I hope this is working. If not, there is always Dogscoff's Official home of the Space Vikings.

A link to the old (pre shrapnel Boards overhaul) thread, for the nostalgic among us (Not just to bump my favourite thread, honest=-)

Old thread.

Re: Space Vikings sneak preview
 

Damn... this thread had slipped all the way back to the third page http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif I guess that means I'm not doing enough Viking stuff...

Anyway, Version 0.97 is available on my website. I wish I could post it to the forums, but I still have the "File Uploading is not allowed in this forum." message when I post http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

If I can't post to the "definitive" thread, how do I get this latest Version onto the Gold CD?

Re: Space Vikings sneak preview
 

E-mail it to me or Mephisto. Since the Space Vikings are part of the TDM-ModPack, please forward any more updates to either of us as well b/c this makes consolidation and tracking a lot easier on us!

Thanks
