We've got shipsets out the wazoo!

Cool GEO... I will use that on the portal

Re: [url]www.tescosamoa.com[/url] comments
 

Are you going to have one big file that has all the sets available in one download too? That would be a great idea if you have the server space.

Re: [url]www.tescosamoa.com[/url] comments
 

i may have the space for it, but not the band width i only have 12 gigs a month..... but if not i know someone who will in a few weeks http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Re: [url]www.tescosamoa.com[/url] comments
 

What would that be, a half gig download? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif

Re: [url]www.tescosamoa.com[/url] comments
 

How about burn CD's and mail them out to people for cost+postage. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: [url]www.tescosamoa.com[/url] comments
 

If someone goes and downloads every ship set, they use the same amount of bandwidth. Having a compilation file just makes it more convenient for them. And I doubt that too many people would be downloading it each month. Certainly noone on dialup. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Re: [url]www.tescosamoa.com[/url] comments
 

yea i am upfor that... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

the full file zipped is about 112 megs 118,179,443 bytes)

The pain would be the updating of the full zip...

But it is a good idea

Re: [url]www.tescosamoa.com[/url] comments
 

Yeah, that would suck. Make it a policy to do it once a month, not with every set uploaded. Keep a list of all the sets in the compilation available, so people can see what is in it before downloading. There is a program called TreePrint that works very well for listing the contents of a directory and such.

If it is only 112 MBs, that is not as big a problem as 500 MBs. Do you really think you will use 12 GB of bandwidth a month anyways? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Bah, editing the file size before my post is made. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

Hi everyone.

As trooper knows I have been building up one site to hold every known race. On Friday 240 ships will be available for download from one location. ( All zipped with no preview , do not have the space , to see the complete ship preview you will have to travel to the authors orginial site or SOTAS ) A SEIV Shipset mirror site is my goal.

This site will also be a image mod mirror and a mod mirror site for any mods that need hosted. Basically if its a file and its associated with seiv. Well its going to be there for downloading.
And for those who would like to toss some stuff up but do not have the website. Well thats available as well.

It is my way of saying thankyou to everyone.

Now the legal stuff.

If you see anything that is not correct with author names etc... please let me know asap.

If you do not wish for your work to be available for download please let me know and I will remove it asap.

No llama's were harmed in anyway making the site.

P.S. The link will be posted on Friday

P.P.S. It is a very basic site ( just tables and tables and links )

Re: [url]www.tescosamoa.com[/url] comments
 

Well tonights the night.

It is done.

Very very simple site....

Here are some stats.

Overall size of the downloads section

244 MB in 758 files

8 pages

239 shipsets available for download.
21 mod files currently available ( more to be added )

This is a site in work... But the first release is complete.

There is another section as well.... but hey you can check it out when your there.

Re: [url]www.tescosamoa.com[/url] comments
 

P.S. It will be uploaded after i get home from work so in about 11 hours from this post

Re: [url]www.tescosamoa.com[/url] comments
 

Plan on telling us where this page is? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Edit:
bah

Re: [url]www.tescosamoa.com[/url] comments
 

hmmm upload speed is 20 kb/s

Looks like this is going to take some time to upload... Longer than 16 hours of working vs falling asleep vs a warm house and drinking a nice glass of red wine..

I think the sleep will win out before the upload.

Hey Sat. Is this not expected with me http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Re: [url]www.tescosamoa.com[/url] comments
 

Could always leave it uploading overnight...

Re: [url]www.tescosamoa.com[/url] comments
 

really i though i would sit and watch the upload... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

well it is up

www.tescosamoa.com

but i have a super slow connection so i cannot tell if all the pictures are loading on the ship set directorys can some on test for me...

Re: [url]www.tescosamoa.com[/url] comments
 

Server has a slow connection too. Three minutes and counting on the a to c page.

But other than that, very cool. Congratulations are in order I think. But there is one omission that needs to be corrected, the fist ship set I looked for is missing http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

OK it’s five now with now, and the progress bar is less than half way done.

Re: [url]www.tescosamoa.com[/url] comments
 

hey thermo.... which shipset is that.

666.zip d/l works for me.

and yea very very slow... hmmm....

if it stays like that well i will have to rethink it... perhaps just one letter per page or up to 20

Re: [url]www.tescosamoa.com[/url] comments
 

perhaps i can change the images to png or gif ... silly me just used the .bmp pictures...

i will try that

Re: [url]www.tescosamoa.com[/url] comments
 

It's loading now, but with lots of broken links to pic's

Re: [url]www.tescosamoa.com[/url] comments
 

well i will have to fix that later... as i converted the picutres... but it removed capitals etc.... so now the connections are not working...

as i am going out

so later today everything will work..

Re: [url]www.tescosamoa.com[/url] comments
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">666 was not the one I was looking for. The Thermolian set is the first one I checked.

Re: [url]www.tescosamoa.com[/url] comments
 

Tesco:

Are the shipsets you are loading up to your website error-free with 1.84? I hate to download a bunch only to find that I have to fix some of the files myself to eliminate those pesky errors that are caused by missing lines in AI files etc...

Re: [url]www.tescosamoa.com[/url] comments
 

Excuse my ignorance, but what does Neo-Standard mean? I can guess, but guessing is not knowing.

Thanks!

BTW THIS IS A GREAT RESOURCE!

Re: [url]www.tescosamoa.com[/url] comments
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">The NeoStandard is a collection of additional hull sizes that shipset creators can add to their shipsets and mod creators can use in their mods. What's the point, you ask? Well, basically what it does is it's like a matchmaking service - on the one end are the shipset creators asking "what hull sizes should I create in my shipset so lots of mods can use my pretty pictures?" and on the other end are the mod creators who are asking "what hull sizes are commonly available in existing shipsets so I can make my mod to use the widest variety of pictures for all my custom hull sizes?" So without the NeoStandard, you might have a Star Wars mod calling for a "DeathStar" hull, but a shipset designed for P&N might have a "BattleMoon" hull in it instead, so the mod couldn't "see" the hull even though it's perfectly appropriate for the purpose. With the NeoStandard, you have a common name, "WorldShip", which P&N can take and tell the user it's a Battlemoon and the Star Wars mod can take and tell the user it's a Death Star.

kwok... double doh...

I will check that.... is there a utility i can run against them to check

Re: [url]www.tescosamoa.com[/url] comments
 

the pictures will be fixed up tomorrow... THose who know linux will understand. I ran a image converter that converted all the bmp to png... but made everything lower case.... which is not what the html is looking for

Re: [url]www.tescosamoa.com[/url] comments
 

Tesco, I updated the AI of the Addisian and the Star Empire of Romii to made them compatible with latest Version of SE4 Gold (they weren't gold, before), research drones, etc.

I also rewrote completely the AI of the Infernal Realm that previously used the AI copied straight from another stock shipset.

You may consider updating these, to serve the latest & more updated AI around. Check the Race & Shipsets Thread in the Scenario Forum.

Re: [url]www.tescosamoa.com[/url] comments
 

NM, I'll keep you informed for further updates, I really like your initiative, since now the development cycle of SE4 is at its end may be really cool having almost all the races compatible and tweaked for the latest Version.

Re: [url]www.tescosamoa.com[/url] comments
 

That raises an interesting question. How will SE5 differ when it comes to shipsets? Are we looking at a few tweaks to convert or a complete re-write?

Re: [url]www.tescosamoa.com[/url] comments
 

z.e.r.o. thank you. but the thanks go to andres and trooper and the other people who have hosted ship sets.... I am just adding to that list and hoping that i make the community stronger.

Re: [url]www.tescosamoa.com[/url] comments
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Not necessarily - well for those that are stuck with 1.49 AIs and lower. I also meant just making sure that each race you upload can work error free in 1.84 Gold. It will certainly save everyone from having to fix these errors themselves!

Re: [url]www.tescosamoa.com[/url] comments
 

well to my knowledge they are gold.

but i will start the check..

p.s. if anyone else see's one that is not gold let me know and i will up date it.

p.s.

the shipset pages are being fixed this week... due to the problems listed below...

Re: [url]www.tescosamoa.com[/url] comments
 

Still don't see any Thermolian ships listed http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

ahhh now i get it... send it to me... and i will put it up... I can add it when i get to that area.

Sorry thermo http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

Re: [url]www.tescosamoa.com[/url] comments
 

Tesco, While I am flattered you included the Decapodians in your index, they are a derivative shipset. I took the Neocanadian shipset and just changed the race pic and flag. If you are going to leave it in the index you should change the race author to John Beech.
