The Neo-expansion pack. Version 1.40available now!
OK, this is actually a year late, but the neo-expansion pack V1_00 is here. Well, not here, but on my website... you know what I mean.
What do you mean "What is it?" *sigh* It is a collection of over 50 images which expand your stock races with a smattering of neo-standard ships. It (crucially) also expands the generic shipset to include every single neo-standard image. Yes, many of these images have been available as gifs on my website for ages (most of the generics and the Jraenar heavy dreadnought) but now the whole lot is available as a handy zip full of bmps. Also, let's not forget the new images: We have 3 worldships (for the Pirates and Nomads among you), half a dozen scouts (Great for Proportions games) and loads more stuff which will look great in Devnullmod, Ultimate Vehiclesize Mod and so much more. This download will work with any Version of SE4, and can be safely installed without damaging any of your data files. To use the images, just install them and start a game using any neo-standard compatible mod. Here's the URL. As always, feedback is more than welcome in this thread. My thanks to Andres Lescano who is responsible for most of the generic images and more. Submissions for future Versions of the expansion pack are welcome on my usual email address. Enjoy http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif [ February 16, 2004, 18:26: Message edited by: dogscoff ] |
Re: The Neo-expansion pack. Version 1.30 available now!
Neat... it seems the Piundon ships even have better textures than the stock Piundon... but why does the Jraenar heavy destroyer look more like a heavy dreadnought http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/confused.gif

Re: The Neo-expansion pack. Version 1.30 available now!
ummm... it is a heavy dreadnought. Have I named it wrong?
EDIT: No I haven't. Jeez, Ed, you had me worried... [ December 07, 2002, 19:26: Message edited by: dogscoff ] |
Re: The Neo-expansion pack. Version 1.30 available now!
Is there something wrong with the link to the zip? It kept giving me a "Page cannot be desplayed message." I will go back and try it as a direct download.

Re: The Neo-expansion pack. Version 1.30 available now!
Gah! I just got it too, but I know several ppl have already downloaded it OK. I'll check all the HTML...
|
Re: The Neo-expansion pack. Version 1.30 available now!
Ah! bad HTML. It's the hyphen. I'll fix it, give me 5 minutes...
|
Re: The Neo-expansion pack. Version 1.30 available now!
OK, try now...
|
Re: The Neo-expansion pack. Version 1.30 available now!
dogscoff, VERY Nice package!
I see (to my delight) that you are excepting images for your "NEOXPANTION V1._00"! With nice little slots for Tons of images! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif mlmbd http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif |
Re: The Neo-expansion pack. Version 1.30 available now!
yep, I can't be arsed to create 400+ image myself, so I am pleased to accept submissions from other ppl.
|
Re: The Neo-expansion pack. Version 1.30 available now!
Nice pics, especially the Phong Trooper!
Although he should be dressed in a suit & tie instead of armor & gun. He'd make one hell of a scarry door-to-door (planet-to-planet) salesman with those bugged out eyes of his http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif |
Re: The Neo-expansion pack. Version 1.30 available now!
Thanks Katchoo. You wouldn't happen to be a SiP fan would you?
|
Re: The Neo-expansion pack. Version 1.30 available now!
im thinking, do modders actually care about the neo-standard? i've done one of my races neo-compatible and planning to do the same with my next ones. should i even bother?
|
Re: The Neo-expansion pack. Version 1.30 available now!
Do we care?
Of course! For details, see: http://www.sandman43.fsnet.co.uk/neostandlist.htm PS: as an update for your website's "neostandard table" P&N now also uses: Scout, huge and massive fighters, and troop huge. [ December 08, 2002, 18:08: Message edited by: Suicide Junkie ] |
Re: The Neo-expansion pack. Version 1.30 available now!
SiP? As in the comic Strangers in Paradise?
I've never read the book (I do read comics though). My name's an evolution of DooDooKatchoo, which I used during my Star Wars: Alliance playing days. I eventually shortened the name down. Although i'm sure I originally heard it from a SiP reference and that's where I subconsciously got it from. So i'm probably a wholly unoriginal person http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif Read ya later! |

Katchoo: Yeah , I was referring to the comic. My brother's a big fan. I liked the early ones, but then it got a bit convoluted and I lost interest. Taera: The neostandard is used in most of the "big name" mods, and plenty of lesser ones. Even if it's not, it doesn't matter. One of the great things about the neo-standard is that it's entirely optional for everyone (modders, shipset creators, players) - when all three happen to use it at the same time then it's just added value. mlmbd: Glad to see you interested. Half the reason for this project was because I wanted a mention in the lurk report http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif If you have images to contribute, I'll be happy to include them. I've already done a few new images (sergetti_fighterhuge, CueCappa_resourcestation and tidied up the phong infantry) for the next Version, which may or may not be released next Saturday... |

Re: The Neo-expansion pack. Version 1.30 available now!
while talking about Neo-standard...
I've been thinking, wouldnt "alien vessel" ship be good for neo-standard? Just for various uses. Like, humans could have some flying saucers. To use with alien ships/designs. Or at least a generic-ship, saucer-shaped? |

Taera: Nice idea. Would any modders use it? Modders? Speak now or forever hold your piece. I mean peace... |
Re: The Neo-expansion pack. Version 1.30 available now!
It is certainly a unique idea, but I don't know if it is focussed enough.
ISTM that the ships fitting that description would be too varied to fit into a single hull size. A "Derelict" or a "FutureShip" image might be good for scenarios... I imagine you could just make a Human shipset using variations on saucers and cigar ships, and tell how terran spacetravel was revolutionized by their discovery in the historical description. |

Re: The Neo-expansion pack. Version 1.30 available now!
Version 1_10 is available. more than 20 new images, featuring some remarkably worldly wordships from Mr Mlmbd himself.
Get it here. [ December 21, 2002, 00:36: Message edited by: dogscoff ] |
Re: The Neo-expansion pack. Version 1.30 available now!
Those worldships are groovy!
Collect them all! |
Re: The Neo-expansion pack. Version 1.30 available now!
dogscoff, great New additions. If I do say so myself. And I do! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif
PvK, I Thank You! I hope to have the rest of the races finish for docscoff's next update! mlmbd http://www.shrapnelgames.com//ubb/icons/icon6.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif |
Re: The Neo-expansion pack. Version 1.30 available now!
Might it be possible to include a patch zip only including the newest ships? Dialup is really slow and stinky. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Re: The Neo-expansion pack. Version 1.30 available now!
Krsq: Good idea, will do.

Re: The Neo-expansion pack. Version 1.30 available now!

Re: The Neo-expansion pack. Version 1.30 available now!
Uh... sorry krsqk, I'm right on it, honest...
I'll try to upload the 1.00 > 1.10 update zip before the weekend. In the meantime, Version 1.20 is looking good, with at least 7 new images completed... |
Re: The Neo-expansion pack. Version 1.30 available now!
OK, for Krsqk and anyone else who doesn't want to download all the V1.00 images again, there is a smaller update zip available on the usual page.
Enjoy. Future Versions will have a similar updates, but not historical ones, so don't let yourself get left behind... |

Re: The Neo-expansion pack. Version 1.30 available now!
Dogscoff, I am working on a new mod that uses the Neo-Expansion standard, but it has a lot more ship sizes too. There are a lot of Light ships in addition to the normal and heavy. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif
|
Re: The Neo-expansion pack. Version 1.30 available now!
fyron, neo-standard is large enough already. no need to add light and whatever ships imo.
|
Re: The Neo-expansion pack. Version 1.30 available now!
fyron, could PM or email those additions to dogscoff? So I can get it! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif
mottlee, a really 'Big' weed! Hey, Boss; when is v1.2 scheduled for release? Thanks! Oh, now about my paycheck! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif mlmbd http://www.shrapnelgames.com//ubb/icons/icon6.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif |
Re: The Neo-expansion pack. Version 1.30 available now!
Fyron: Sounds cool. You got any images for those? The neo-standard isn't written in stone you know, we could always add more sizes...
|
Re: The Neo-expansion pack. Version 1.30 available now!
I don't have any images. I am no artist. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif
|
Re: The Neo-expansion pack. Version 1.30 available now!
how about multiple images for same ship size. that way you could tell what class/type of ship just by the picture. similiar to what they did in MOO2. i have no, none, nada, zip artistic ability or i would try this myself.
|
Re: The Neo-expansion pack. Version 1.30 available now!
Fyron, please give us a list of your added sizes. I can probably knock out a few generics for you...
|
Re: The Neo-expansion pack. Version 1.30 available now!
Three questions:
Can I choose a Neo Standard set when playing in a TDM game with no other mods. If so, what will happen? Is there a list of the ships and suggested Tonnage.? |
Re: The Neo-expansion pack. Version 1.30 available now!
And of course that won't work! geesh
BUMP! mlmbd http://www.shrapnelgames.com//ubb/icons/icon6.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif |
Re: The Neo-expansion pack. Version 1.30 available now!
Gryphin, yes you can. All a neo-standard compliant ship set does is have extra pictures in it. If the mod does not support the extra pictures, they don't do anything.
Dogscoff, here are the extra images I have used, though some are already in the NeoStandard. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif Scout Cutter Corvette Frigate thru Cruiser have a Light and Heavy Version Baseship CarrierEscort CarrierFleet CargoStation SpaceFortress WarStation TransportHuge WeapPlatformHuge All of the Fighters in the mod are: FighterOrbital FighterAttack FighterInterceptor FighterHeavyInterceptor FighterBomber FighterHeavyBomber All of the troops in the mod are: Infantry Light Mechanized Heavy Mechanized Small Battle Mecha Medium Battle Mecha Large Battle Mecha |
Re: The Neo-expansion pack. Version 1.30 available now!
I'll send you the Vehiclesizes.txt. Much easier. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif
|
Re: The Neo-expansion pack. Version 1.30 available now!
Is this a completed mod? do me and my dial-up need to go over all these pages to find it? sounds like a good one http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif
|
Re: The Neo-expansion pack. Version 1.30 available now!
Thanks, I tink I've got it.
In the Gryphin Mod EDIT: Correction I replace the VehicleSize.txt with the one from the Neo Standard, **** Disreguard the rest of this. c:\SEIv\Gryphin\Dat\VehicleSize.txt I put Scout, and other names from the Neo Standard, (NS) I make sure the vehicles I ad have a secondary ship designated in case an image is not available. Everything works. Did I get it right this time? [ January 03, 2003, 16:33: Message edited by: Gryphin ] |

Fyron answered your Last question well enough, but I'll add that you've probably been using the Viking shipset for ages, and never even realised that it is a neostandard set. (Mostly) Fyron: Interesting list. Quote:

I have to confess that the thought of adding new sizes to the neostandard does send a certain chill through my spine, although that's mainly because it means I'll never get the vikings finished. That said, it was agreed from the start that the standard could be added to, and it couldn't really do any harm except that ppl seem to have trouble with the concept already, and introducing a V2 neostandard might turn ppl off. Anyway... Fyron's mod sounds very cool, and it would be a wonderful thing to see it illustrated in full glorious techneocolour. I think it might be excessive to add *all* those new sizes, but I guess it comes down to how many of them are likely to be used by other mods. I can see the Ultimate vehiclesize mod snapping them all up immediately, but I'd like to hear what other ppl (especially other modders) have to say on the subject.
