The complete race list (post your new creations/updates here)
http://diesel2035.free.fr/racedir
It works, but I have to reduce the size of the preview pictures, to increase loading speed. Lots of work have been done with Andres during the past days on this list, but I don't think it's enough. First, I hope that shipset authors, will have a look the entries of the list dealing with their own races, to see if any information, link or picture is missing. I would like every shipset ever made to appear here. operation "saving the shipsets" : My goal is to make available all races ever created for the game, even those who have disapeared on dead sites, or have been forgotten at the bottom of a forum. Some races have to be found and saved in priority. It's the races stored on old SGIF scenario (which are going to be erased sooner or later), race with no link known (because of dead sites) and many shipsets once hosted on Usy, and now unavailable on the new Version of the site (what I call the "Usy genocide"). Perhaps some of SE IV sites owner will be interested in creating hosted race pages, just like me on SOTAS, where these creations will be stored. Just let me know what shipset do you wish to host, I'll make the updates daily. I'll post here what races I'm unable to find, sure there is enough races collectors around here to provide them... Of course, for every shipset published on a site, an authorization has to be asked to the author first(if this one is known...). [ June 23, 2003, 07:36: Message edited by: trooper ] |
Re: The complete race list (post your new creations/updates here)
Great stuff!
I have a few of the shipsets you have listed as "no known link," somewhere. PvK |
Re: The complete race list (post your new creations/updates here)
The Akah, Mok and Mok'Akah are three different shipsets.
|
Re: The complete race list (post your new creations/updates here)
I know. I have them all, and one of them is already on SOTAS. The two others are coming...
PVK : You can send me these files, to eric.bergbauer@NOSPAM_free.fr. Sure I'll make a good usage of it. **** Who is interested in providing content to his web site ? Dogscoff perhaps ? If I put all lost races on my site, it's gonna explode ! [ March 29, 2003, 08:39: Message edited by: trooper ] |
Re: The complete race list (post your new creations/updates here)
Hey trooper, I have some races that are not on the race directory.
Akah (New Version) Completely new ship and unit images. Cardassian (New Version) Completely Custom shipset done by Atrocities http://galileo.spaceports.com/~william/newtrek/card.htm Dominion (New Version) Completely Custom shipset done by Atrocities http://galileo.spaceports.com/~william/newtrek/dom.htm Ferengi (New Version) Completely Custom shipset done by Atrocities http://galileo.spaceports.com/~william/Ferengi2.htm Goa'uld Empire, I have the zip file but i think it's pre gold, do you want me to send you it so you can host it if you get permission? Utopian Brotherhood you could put the link as on the Gold Version CD under extras in USYRaceStylePack Apart from them you've got every shipset i have on your list, great work trooper! |
Re: The complete race list (post your new creations/updates here)
Excellent work trooper, thank you very much.
May I propose this topic to become "sticky" because I believe it is extremly useful. |

It comes to me a question : The reason why so many races disapeared from Usy was because they have been put on the Gold CD ? exclusive content for the commercial product, etc ? it's not like Malfador policy, I think. I have to ask Aaron, to avoid any legal trouble. John Beech doesn't seem to read his emails often on Usy... Quote:

Re: The complete race list (post your new creations/updates here)
Trooper: Excellent work!
All of my shipsets are available on my website: galileo.spaceports.com/~nwfish/ under the SEIV - Shipset section. Except of course the old ones from the Xtros site, as I do not like those. Might I make a suggestion: Use thes tandard SEIV view: Battlecruiser and Race Portrait? And I have the Forchian empire on my harddrive, if you would like it. Have you thought abour arranging them by creator? Or maybe by empire name? |
Re: The complete race list (post your new creations/updates here)
Just sent you the akah and goa'uld to put up. Also the United Colours Empire 2 is on the gold cd onder extras in the USYRaceStylePack zip file, hope that helps http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: The complete race list (post your new creations/updates here)
This is an excellent project. It should be a priority to upgrade the old race styles with at least a basic functional Gold AI, even if its just copied from the default files.
I also added a link to your website Trooper on my Star Trek mod site. |
Re: The complete race list (post your new creations/updates here)
The list is looking nice.
Good job trooper. On a side note. I had tried to avoid PBW shipsets such as the ALTAIR described as "Federal Union from Hadrian Aventine, with custom race portrait and flags. No AI files." since I don't consider them shipsets on their own right. But I gess that it's OK if such description is present. |
Re: The complete race list (post your new creations/updates here)
Yeah, I've reduced the size of all these little pictures you sent to me Last thuesday. The list is loading twice faster now...
I was also wondering if such races should be on the list. I've decided to put them only for info, in the case someone asks himself "But what is this Altair race on PBW ?". It's a way to tell : It exists, but it's a modified Version of an old race". A way to clarify things in fact. Well, I'm going to bed now, I will have lots of things to do tomorow with all those shipsets and informations I received today... |
Re: The complete race list (post your new creations/updates here)
Good night, Trooper. We all appreciate the Herculian task you do http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif
|
Re: The complete race list (post your new creations/updates here)
You missed my Borg set! How could you? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif
That's OK, you got Atrocities' Borg set, which is much better than anything I could ever do http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif |
Re: The complete race list (post your new creations/updates here)
That color scheme for the links on the page, well, sucks. The colors do not go well together, and they definitely do not look good with the rest of the colors on the site. I suggest getting rid of the maroon-ish background. Just yellow underlined text for the links sets them off enough from the rest of the text to make them immediately identifiable as links.
Also, the SOTAS preview page has an error in it. The mini pic that should be the Medium Troop is instead displaying the mini pic of the Medium Weapons Platform. [ March 30, 2003, 05:18: Message edited by: Imperator Fyron ] |
Re: The complete race list (post your new creations/updates here)
ZeroAdunn : updated your shipsets.
About Kazhari : wrong file names for weaponplatforms, troop pictures have been forgotten. I would like to have news of these shipsets : Turian Commonwealth Galactic Command Lyosion Empire Zykonian Armada Are they really so unworthy that you want them to disappear ? Did you say "Forchain" ? I also have it, but I find it... a bit ugly. Maybe on SOTAS,if I've nothing better to do... list order : I think the race folder name is definitively the best sort. It has to be unique indeed (even if some authors did create shipsets with the same dir name). There's only one order displayed, I've got no database to manage that list ! Raging Deadstar : Goald and akah soon available, thanks. Updated United Colours Empire 2 line. Captain Kwok : not enough time at the moment to update all shipsets AI that are on SOTAS. (If anyone is interested, I will happy to make the change), I'll try to correct new additions anyway. Ed Kolis : need more info about your borg set (see form on race dir first page). Oleg : updated Tlaxcalan link and Manticore. Manticore should deserve a zip with all files (no truncated Versions). Maybe for the future, as it seems to be still under construction ? Also updated Ixaris. Fyron : changed the link colors, no maroonish anymore. Now it's a large aggresive blue background http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif Didn't see the problem with the preview page, you forgot to tell me what race is concerned... PS : I appreciate your frankness, but why speaking so rudely ? I hope to put more shipsets on SOTAS soon. If only there were more hours in a day... |

Re: The complete race list (post your new creations/updates here)
The Forchain shipset was the first shipset ever made, iirc it even predates the commercial release of SEIV.
Of course its ugly as hell, but its a piece of SE history. [ March 30, 2003, 23:52: Message edited by: Lord Kodos ] |

Made all changes in the links, thanks Woundwort.
---- Also added Kaness, waiting for release now. So go back to work, Dogscoff http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif About the shipsets you can host : Nloam Empire, SIMS Empire, Taiidan Commonwealth, Protoss Conclave, Ur-Quan Hegemony and that's not exhaustive... Andres may have this files on his PC, as he sent to me the preview pics. Aaron have just confirmed to me that the shipset on the SEIV gold CD are free of copyrights, at least for Malafador. Thus, some forgotten shipsets may be taken on it. ---- About Pyrochette : the Version on PBW is out of date, the good Version is the one on TDM, isn't it ? Does anybody have "Darkpyrochette" shipset ? It's an older Version or a copy ? ---- Forchain is now on SOTAS, with working AI files for SE IV gold. |
Re: The complete race list (post your new creations/updates here)

And about the "Darkpyrochette" shipset, didn't knew about it before... Should be a custom modiffied Pyrochette shipset, because Joel Joines only did one Version. |
Re: The complete race list (post your new creations/updates here)
Atrocities , I'm sure that some of your races have to be updated on the list (some preview pictures are missing, etc...)
I've just realized that the Pandoran shipset is absent, for instance. Any modification to bring to the list ? |

Re: The complete race list (post your new creations/updates here)
Well, generally saying something "sucks" is considered rude http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif
Anyway, here's the specs for my shipset: Full name: Borg Collective Directory Name in the "Races" folder: Borg Author: Ed Kolis URL of the page where the race can be downloaded/previewed: http://seiv.pbw.cc/Download/filelib/532/Borg.zip Sample PIC (if false or absent): huh? just pick one that looks nice http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif preview page: no Infos: Contains a few Neostandard ships/units (Barge, Baseship, Infantry, Worldship) and a few of my own (small/med/large Satellites and Drones). AI mostly borrowed from stock races, don't remember which Version, I'm not an AI guy http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif , probably not even feasible opponent due to stupid race trait picks... shipset is really dark this time, maybe I'll redo it yet again someday... |
Re: The complete race list (post your new creations/updates here)
- Added today in the list : Borg Collective, thanks Ed. Also added atrocities Borg sample picture, to see the difference.
- Also added House of Aleskander race on SOTAS, with gold compliant AI files. - corrected preview page of hosted races on SOTAS for medium troop pictures. --- Fyron : I might have misunderstooden your polite request. Some subtilities in the english language are stil a mystery for me http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif That's what they call "the language frontier" I suppose... ---- Zero Adunn : don't think I'll make two samples pictures race_portrait/cruiser for the racedir. - It would take me too much time surely the best reason). - It would be a bit too long to load. - Cruisers are not always representative of the race look, so I often use an other ship size picture. and what about the races you've made I've listed below ? |
Re: The complete race list (post your new creations/updates here)
Added to day on SOTAS : Hadrian aventine's akah.
The AI files have been upgrated to gold Version. |
Re: The complete race list (post your new creations/updates here)

Greetings Trooper
Can you add to your list also my shipset ? My shipset is the WCC it can be downloaded from the seiv PBW site or from my shipyard page here is the link http://www.geocities.com/shapeshifter1232003/index.htm The shipset has no AI files http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif |

Re: The complete race list (post your new creations/updates here)
Trooper, here is the Skinnie on the races you asked about:
Turian Commonwealth - Actually, this shipset had one really good ship, which is going to become the basis for a completely different shipset. Galactic Command - Yah, this is the worst shipset ever, I think. It is pretty irrelevant too since its design concept was used for the House Of Aleskander, if you can find an old Version he gave me credit for the idea in the files. Lyosion Empire - Actually, this one had potential, I just need to redo it sometime. Zykonian Armada - This one is fine, I still use it and it is available on my webpage. There are numerous other shipsets on my website. ----------- Yah, the Pyrochette was one of the first, along with the Forchian and my original turians. They were all released pre-SEIV on the old SEc (Space Empires IV Center) forums. |
Re: The complete race list (post your new creations/updates here)
Done today :
- Added Akha new Version with working AI on SOTAS. - Updated NuWan on the race dir - Added valkyrie preview pic on the race dir. - Updated technologic empire in the race dir. --------- ZeroAdunn : Thanks for your answer, but all I wanted to know was where Turian, Galactic Command, Lyosion could be find at the moment ? If you don't think they worth be downloaded from your site, please send them to me, I welcome any "orphan" race... |

Re: The complete race list (post your new creations/updates here)
I am curious for the record. How many different Versions are there for the following races? I will try and account for the ones I did, but I know there must be at least 5 or six other Versions for others based off of the work of many others including me.
1)* 8427 (2) PBW/S/NASY 2) Andorian (1) PBW/S/NASY 3)* Borg (2) PBW/S/NASY 4)* Breen (2) PBW/S/NASY 5)* Cardassian (4) PBW/S/NASY 6)* Dominion (4) PBW/S/NASY 7) Federation STGN (2) PBW/S/NASY 8) Federation TMP (2) PBW/S/NASY 9) Federation TOS (2) PBW/S/NASY 10) Federation DS9 (1) PBW/S/NASY 11) Federation UCP (1) PBW/S/NASY 12)* Ferengi (3) PBW/S/NASY 13) Gorn (1) PBW/S/NASY 14) Hirogen (1) PBW/S/NASY 15) Kazon (1) PBW/S/NASY 16) Klingon (2) PBW/S/NASY 17) Romulan (2) PBW/S/NASY 18) Son'a (1) PBW/S/NASY 19) Vulcan (1) PBW/S/NASY 20) Rogue Fleet (2) PBW/S 21) Doppleganger (1) PBW 22)* Illuminati (2) PBW/S 23) Pandoran (1) PBW/NASY 24)** Starwolf (3) PBW/S/NASY 25) UFA (1) PBW * 26 (Custom Version 8472) * 27 (Custom Version Borg) * 28 (Custom Version Breen) * 29 (Custom Version Cardassian) * 30 (Custom Version Dominion) * 31 (Custom Version Ferengi) * 32 (Custom Version Illuminati) * 33 (Custom Version Starwolf 2) * 34 (Second Version Starwolf 3) Historically speaking the first complete set I made was the original Illuminati. Then the Federation set 1, Dominion, Klingon, Romulan, etc. I owe a lot of the ship sets I have made to one ICQ buddy 'Flipper' for showing how easy it was. Here is a list off all the reliable addresses for the above races. ADDRESS TEXT File |

Atrocities, I've completed your races. Perhaps you could have a llok and see if I've done any mistake or forgotten something. Pandorans have been released with another name, aren't they ? |
Re: The complete race list (post your new creations/updates here)
I saw that some new creations have been released here and there (posted on the scenario zone, for instance) and no one have warned me !

Hey Trooper!
Here's the info for the Nu'Wam Partnership: Empire Name: Nu'Wam Empire Type: Partnership Directory Name: NuWam Author: Serge Morrison (aka Katchoo, aka Me) URL: SGIF For the sample pic, would you like me to resize a picture of one of the ships for you to use on the Directory, or will you just take something from the ZIP and plop it on?

Thanks Katchoo, for the infos. I already have a preview pic for Nu wan, I think it fits with the current race design ? if not, you can send me another one.
