Pozhalusta But I am not a sleep yet

Fantastic shipset !!! carrier and battlestaion portraits should be renamed from "pulps" to "pulp" though.

"Beware of strange cathode ray tubes!"

Now, THAT is true

[oleg]

Oh, please include pulps.txt too

Thanks, Oleg--glad you like it.

I posted the corrected zip [fixing the errors in the names of the two ship files] on the mod forum. Here's the link:

1055021044.zip

I also noted there that I wasn't sure how to proceed with the design name and speech files. I had intended to use titles of pulp magazines for the design name file, but that's only a few dozen choices--there were hundred's of them, but I don't know all the names--plus, most of them aren't SF mags--"Railroad Stories," "Love Stories," etc. I still may do this, if I get the time.

As for the speech file, I started making changes, but quickly became daunted by the sheer number of lines and my lack of a clear idea of how I wanted to proceed. So, after a couple of changes, I ended up just eliminating mentions of senates or councils and substituted "Constituent Assembly," which is what I decided to call Duke Kutt-Nur's legislative and advisory body.

[Note to Shrapnel: there doesn't seem to be a storage space problem, but there's no reason to keep a file with errors available, so please feel free to remove 1054966558.zip]

Still, it would be nice to have design names file. Even if it is short. As it is, one must assign some file manually before starting game or will have to type names of every ship - very inconvinient !

don't worry about obsolete files - pathfinder posted 1024 AI files for bab5 mod. Your stuff is just a drop in the ocean !

Oleg,

When I made the emp files, I chose the "ravager.txt" file as the one from which names would be picked. I'm surprised you've had to name the ships manually.

Anyway, I put together a "pulp.txt" file with 390+ names--mostly pulp magazine titles, plus a few dozen authors and artists from the pulps. Here's the link:

Hopefully I can do some work on the speech file.

Hrothgar, I like your shipset very much. When you have come to a definitive Version, would you mind me to host it on my site ? (If you aim for fame and fortune, it's the place to be )
