Re: Neo Standard for SE V?

I'd say stick with the stock naming scheme when possible. Treat special as a size/modifier. IE: special weapon platform.x, special drone.x, special light.x, special heavy.x, special base.x, etc.

Re: Neo Standard for SE V?

An explorer can be a big ship with weapons and science equipment, like the Enterprise, or it can be a small ship designed to be cheap and fast. An Escort can be a small ship like a police cutter, or...

Re: Neo Standard for SE V?

I'm both a modder and a shipset maker. I can't tell you what other modders will want, but for Starscape, I don't have any plans to use more than the stock ships. However, Starscape is also a very...

Re: Model newbie - UV mapping?

Oh its not the texturing that I'm having trouble with, I just use Deep Paint for that. It's getting the UV mapped properly that's the tricky part. Wings3d has alot of options for UV mapping but...

Model newbie - UV mapping?

I'm somewhat new to modelling, and have been using UV maps for a while but I just can't seem to get very nice ones out of Wings3d. I was wondering how some of you experts do it. Any recommended...

Re: Neo Standard for SE V?

I think I will just have to require everyone to find a hosting site for their shipsets. I have a limit of 50MB of space on my website, and I have the feeling I'm going to use most of that just with...

Re: Ship View Question

Dunno why it calls them cheats... The shipset viewer isn't a game, or is it? Hmm... This brings to mind a Space Empires version of "Where's Waldo?", only this would be "Where's Kwok?"...

Re: Neo Standard for SE V?

I wonder about the sizes involved. Models are bigger than pictures, and putting as many ships into an SE5 set as a SE4 set will undoubtedly result in much larger shipset files. For most people,...

Re: OT: Any \'Second Life\' players out there?

I think SL is basically a sort of interesting perspective on society. Although it's not serious enough to be a real sociological profile, it does demonstrate some of the more genuine aspects of...

Re: Facilities dont appear in combat sims

This is the only thing in my mod so far. It's pretty annoying since there's no way for me to test my facility models easily.

Facilities dont appear in combat sims

So I've added some new facilities and whipped up brand new models for them. Now I want to see what they look like in the game so I start up a ground combat, add the facilities to the planet, and...

Re: Facility level?

Aha, I think I found it. What I did was copy the space yard and made my own version of it, but i think my word wrap ended up cutting off part of the formula... Doh!

Re: What is the problem with SE5?

As I understand it, the main gripe is that most people don't want to play a game that's so buggy out of the box. These people don't see modding potential and typically never bother looking at what...

Re: My thoughts on the concept of the SE5 Design

I think you're right. I've had more fun modding SE5 than any other "big name" mainstream games that are designed to be "completely moddable". There are few games as thoroughly moddable as SE5.

Re: Bugs ?

Sure beats "Stinky Fred's Total Conversion", though I've heard that's not such a bad mod either... Or was that a dream?

Re: Balance Mod AI

Seems it might be nice for them to vary weapons a little bit, but yeah races with race tech should use those techs chiefly. Maybe throw in a DUC or two if it compliments the design in some way. ...

Re: Request for Opening Picture

Here is a new avatar. I upped the contrast to make things more visible at the lower resolution and moved the SFTC to the bottom so that it doesn't get glared out by the star.
