The neo-standard thread- Standardising additional hull sizes.

Hey mlmbd, check out this new page in the malfadorica. You can edit it if you like, and I've left it open for you to create pages for yourself and your new shipset: just click the appropriate question marks.

As for the tonnage sizes... I know what you mean, but the problem is that people then start thinking that the neostandard defines inflexible limits on what the images can and cannot be used for. If a modder wants to use the scout image to represent a 20000kt ultradreadnought, that's fine, but specifying tonnages contradicts that.

If someone wants to know how an image should look so he can make a shipset then it's probably best to say "between destroyer and light cruiser" or something like that. The "special" sizes (barge, infantry) need a little extra description.

In my opinion, a "standard" is something destined to be widely used...

BTW what mods use neostandard++ ?

Dogscoff, how long have you been working on kaneS ? try to finish it before SE V is released !

Hey! Give me a chance! I have to finish the Vikings first (I first started it June 2001

)

Seriously, I did upload some new KanesS ships yesterday...

dogscoff, I missed the Starliner Large. I am going to talk to Fyron and see what other images he wants for his Mods. I asked PvK if there were any other images he wanted for Proportions Mod. He said that I had made all the images for the forseeable future. So the Neo-Standard ++ is at 12 additions. Would it seem right to keep adding to it until there are 20 total addtional images, over the Neo-Standard??

OH, Thanks for the malfadorica. WOW!!!

mlmbd: Go for it. I'm not sure that simply adding hulls to reach an arbitrary limit is necessarily a good idea, but if you can find them, use them.

Fyron · #6 March 14th, 2003, 12:05 PM

Well... go to the Adamant Mod web site (linked in my sig) and d/l the mod. Look in VehicleSizes.txt to see the sizes the mod is designed to use.

I guess what I said was confussing, SORRY! I am not going to arbitrarly add images. I mean to add images the Neo-Standard ++ until there are a total of 20. Modders would decide what those images would be. After those 20 slots are full just add another '+' to the Neo-Standard ++. Does that make more sense?
