desesperatly seeking races...

Thanks dogscogff, I 've asled phoenix D to host it, that way it will gain notoriety.

I have many shipset on my HD indeed, but i would be unable to tell how many (about 70, I think). Everything is mixed in several Versions of SE IV or in external folders, or it's still in zip format. It's a real mess. I'll have to create a CD with all that stuff clearly arranged one day.

So I don't own all the shipsets that are previewed on the racedir; Andres have sent me many preview pics I was unable to find, and I grab some directly from the zip file without copying it to my computer.

I have in project to get all shipsets on a cd, to prevent them from disapearing when a site close (the death of SE.org has given me a lot of work to find all shipsets that were available on it).
But it's a huge and neverending task, as a new shipset or new Version of a old one comes out every week.

ZeroAdunn : about turians : COMWEALTH and TURIAN are the same race, you confirm ? I will change that on the racedir.

About "protrait" : Maybe the first signs of dyslexie ?

I'm used to writing "thaht" instead of "that", I don't know why too.

Anyone else owns this mysterious "G" race ? (I've got to ask to my Last hope, Andres; he's going to hate me, being sollicited every two days for another shipset) Well, I'll have to put the "L.I.A." status on it. One more I couldn't save from oblivion...

Could you also ask him (assuming he's not reading this himself) to change the smallsatellite.bmp to satellitesmall.bmp (same with the large one)- that will bring his set into line with the ++ standard and the change I've asked PvK to make to Proportions. Sooner or later I'll get round to requesting the same change of all mods.

Oh, and if Phoenix-D isn't able to host the ClukRuk himself, I'd be honoured to have them on my site.

well, if you want to host it, no pb for me, ask him yourself and tell him to ignore my Last message. (send a private message, I don't have the email address)

If I could change something on the cluk-ruk, it would be the tiny transport : it has the same size as the small transport, it just have to be resized to be OK.

"I found a race missed off the race dir: Phoenix-D's Cluk Ruk Protectorate. It might be named after a neutral empire, but it is a full and original race, and a really good one at that.
http://seiv.pbw.cc/Download/filelib/470/Cluk-Ruk.zip"

Thanks, but..

"Actually, that makes 133 races installed - I didn't count this one because it is in my pictures/raceneutral folder."

Wait. You put the pictures in the NEUTRAL directory? Ah well, that's what I get for not making an AI.

Anyone's welcome to host it if they want. I may look at revising the set later, but not at the moment (my bryce skills have gotten rusty, heh)

Phoenix-D

Yeah. Well, like you say, it has no AI. Also, I didn't want to have the situation where the Clukruk neutrals and the Clukruk regulars appeared on the same map. I could have removed them from the neutrals but I have precious few of those anyway. So I moved your set into there.

They are in one of my proportions games right now and they are looking very very cool.

In that case, I'll host them. It's a great set that deserves a place in the sun. Do you mind if I rename the sats as I suggested? It will probably mean they get more exposure.

EDIT: Over 150 races installed now, Fyron.

Yeah, go ahead and change the names if you want.

First explain to me why the change was made- did I goof or did you change the standard on me?

There is at least 1 mod you don't have to worry about.

I have a lot of races installed in regular SE4 that I never found Gold Versions for and was too lazy to convert to Gold myself...

Trooper:
I am using the Race Dir page to get more shipsets. I click on a link to go find the set for download. When I hit back, it takes me back to the main SOTAS page and not to the Race Dir page. I don't know why it is doing that, but it is annoying. Any way you could fix it?

Also, can you eliminate all links to Shrapnel uploads pages, and replace them with direct links to the files? I could not find the Brachyura or Corrian set from those links....

Could you please remove the read-only attributes of all ship sets hosted on SOTAS, such as the Federal Union? There is no reason for them to have that attribute, and it makes downloading a new Version more difficult than necessary.

You missed the Kobaia shipset, which is in the PBW file library.

The Nloam sample pic is missing the smiley next to it indicating it has a preview page on SOTAS.

The page for the Nu'Wam Partnership has no images, nor a download link.

The Vasudan set is on this page, not where you have it linked: http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/For.../000017-5.html
