PBW- New Game

[Kana]

Couple of quick questions:

1. Where can I find a copy of the Neo-Expansion pack?
This the Neo-Ship images for the standard races.

2. What proportion of the Neo-Shipset are we going to use?
What ship images would I have to have in the shipset
to be able to use it?

3. Does our shipset have to be completely Neo-compliant?
It would be easier if we didn't have to have images we
wont be using...

As long as you design your VehicleSize file correctly, there is absolutely no need to clutter your race folder with excessive images... The neo builder is nice as a testing tool when you are making a shipset to see what you missed, but in practice, it should be 100% useless for using a mod...

Example:

Name := Scout
Primary Bitmap Name := Scout
Alternate Bitmap Name := Escort

The neobuilder will copy the escort image and name it a scout. But if your mod has proper alternate bitmaps set up to be used, there is no need to do this. The Neobuilder was useful back in the period before the Alternate Bitmap Name field was added, but it is not too useful now...
