"We've posted" whatcha mean by "we" slick?

Re: New info on SE:V at Malfador
 

"We" meaning Aaron. Slick just quoted without quoting http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Yep. Just copy/pasted the news as it was written.

Too late, Wade, posted in SEV Shipset Instructions thread 8/15 http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

I hope your check is in the mail.

Darn! Doh! I... Frack!

Congratulations...

Re: New info on SE:V at Malfador
 

The 'We' would be me and Aaron. Slick, thanks for saving me the arduous task of starting an new thread here and having to do the cut'n'paste thing. (I'm always afread I'll cut myself)

Cheers! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Never run while cutting and pasting.

Those are words to live by.

How are things going, David? Haven't seen you in a while.

Re: New info on SE:V at Malfador
 

Those text files are certainly interesting reading. I'm a bit gutted that se5 has so few default ships per set though - it doesn't even have vanilla se4's 20, let alone the 40 of neostandard or 50+ that you see in some other sets. Will we be able to mod larger shipsets? Should we be working out the se5 neostandard now?

Re: New info on SE:V at Malfador
 

Refer to this article. There are a number of vehicles (all units, freighters, carriers, etc) that have calls for alternate images (small/med/large sizes, typically), but most sets do not include them by default.

I think part of the reason why there are fewer models is that ships now have levels, so you don't really need as many distinct hull models.

Re: New info on SE:V at Malfador
 

What is the CSF file that we should compile them into? I thought maybe "Comma Separated File", but that is not right. It kind of looks like a "C" file, but with no semicolons. "C Source File"???

Re: New info on SE:V at Malfador
 

Compiled Script File perhaps?

Re: New info on SE:V at Malfador
 

Of course leading to the question... How do you compile it? Hope the directions are included. If I have to ask here, my post count will go out of sight http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: New info on SE:V at Malfador
 

There is a Script Parser included that is used to compile the AI scripts. For a typical AI, there is only a Setup and Main script to tweak and compile. You just open the file you want to compile and hit, guess now, "Compile". http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

Re: New info on SE:V at Malfador
 

Fewer Models is not a good thing IMHO...other than having to make the shipsets of course then more models do suck...

Re: New info on SE:V at Malfador
 

It is easy to propose the SE5 neostandard be "stock SE4" vehicle names.
And then add on the SE4 neostandard names if you want even more.

Re: New info on SE:V at Malfador
 

Stock SE4 only has 3 vehicles that SE5 does not: escort, battlecruiser, and battlestation. SE5 in fact calls for many more models overall than stock SE4. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

Re: New info on SE:V at Malfador
 

So frigate is the new escort? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

Re: New info on SE:V at Malfador
 

Personally, I always thought "escort" was a pretty dumb name for a ship hull. It is a role, not a hull type! Don't worry, formations can have "escort" ships in 'em!

Re: New info on SE:V at Malfador
 

Well, all of the SE hull sizes are named as roles.

But it does sound better than "200kt hull" and "400kt hull" like I used in GritEcon http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: New info on SE:V at Malfador
 

Ship sizes customizable in-game!

And then you'd have people naming their frigates 'Battleship'.

Re: New info on SE:V at Malfador
 

Well, battleships *were* defined as the biggest combatants you could field, so.. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: New info on SE:V at Malfador
 

Your reaction is sorta the point.
