Need some help for a new race shipset
 

Hi

I have made models for a new race set. It is my first selfmade race and I could still need some help in the AI txt-files. If anyone is interested in helping me just let me know (ben_maxwell@freenet.de).

thx

Ben

If this is not the right place to post questions, where is it?
I think this is a Se4 Board, isn't it?
It would be very nice if anyone helps a newbie like me http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

Ignore him Ben. He's too busy ruling the world to know what he's talking about. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

Yes, this is the ight place to post. Post specific questions here and you'll have a response in no time=-)

Any chance we could see a teaser for your graphics?

Huh? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/confused.gif I said to post the questions you have, and they will be answered. "answered in no time" means they will be answered, and probably in a relatively short time after being posted. I think there is simply a cultural misunderstanding here, and that English phrase does not translate well to German. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

TDM mod is one of the best mods out there for base Space Empires IV AI's...
I recommend you look at the races with the Demeanor and Culture you want for your race as a guide. From there we would be glad to help you with any specific questions. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

TDM MOD-PACK may be downloaded from SE4 MOD PAGE

@Imperator Fyron

I'm sorry. It sounds to me nobody will answer when I post this kind of question here.

@JLS
Thanks, I will try this mod pack but I'm very interested in learning AI modding.

Well, currently i have no chance to upload any pictures so I can't show you the shipset graphics.
Anyway, it's just a first try. I am an experienced "ST-Armada" Modder , but Se4 is a new challenge.

Btw, is there any website which collects modding Se4 stuff?

Re: Need some help for a new race shipset
 

There is a good modding tool in this thread here that allows for more visual modding of the files:

Also, Imperator Fyron has a modding tutorial here: Fyron's Modding Tutorial

That's a good start.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Do you mean, my post makes it sound like this, or do you mean, the lack of response makes it sound like this? If the former, I will have to try to re-explain that phrase "in no time", or maybe get someone that speaks German to explain it in German to you. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif If the latter, that is probably because there are not as many people that enjoy modding AIs are there are that enjoy modding the data files. If you post any specific questions, they will certainly be answered.

SE4 Modding 101 does not address AI modding at all, just the rest of the modding aspects. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif
