Did you try them before or after the 0.91patch? They were way too friendly before the patch. Partly, because I did name the settings file wrong, I guess. I am still not really familiar about the diplomacy and anger stuff. That is kind of hard to test also, I think, because it depends on so many different factors. I was concentrating on the research, designs and all that. Let me know, if you notice anything else .

I had even noticed the spelling mistake in the file name and corrected in my system before the patch was released, but I installed the patch before starting that test.

Btw, Andres, I visited your website today and really love the stuff I have seen there. I noticed that some of the shipsets don't have an AI, yet. If you are willing to give a newbie AI modder a chance, maybe we can do somthing together after the Vikings are done.

Most shipsets have AI, altough many are just copied from another shipset (not all are listed in the site, something I started doing later).
But sure, you can make AI files for any of my races.

So what you are basically telling me, is that you noticed a bug and didn't inform me.
Shame on you...

Well, I'll have a look on the anger files again, but compared to other races they shouldn't be too nice. Maybe I am missing something. Do you know, if they were at war with somebody else? That would make them nicer towards you.
One thing the AI seems to ignore, is the maximum allowed treaty parameter. I have set that to T&R, but have seen the Vikings enter military alliances and partnerships in spite of that.

Well, it takes two seconds to rename a file, but two minutes to write a note.
Many times I mod downloaded races in any way I like, since it’s something I do in private for my personal use there's no need on reporting or asking permission.
Actually next time I checked your patch was Online.

I think they were at war with those blue hammerhead neutral players but had a treat with some other neutral. Maybe it was just because I’m a good and nice player.
Too bad I erased that game and will have to start over to test them.

Sizes missing by now would be colony ships, space stations and starbases (I used resized Versions of the battlestation) and all units (fighters, troops, weap plats and sats)
/QUOTE

See thework to do page. As well as the sizes you mention, I will be making images for battlemoon/ death star, infantry, and various other modded vehicles.

Hope you like what I've done.

I haven't seen your Version yet. Where can I get it?

It will be considered temporary until you provide your own official Version.

I have been very busy this summer (4 different weddings to go to, stag nights, holidays, visiting people... I haven't had a weekend "off" since June and won't have another until at least October) so it might be a loooong time before the Viking images are done. Please be patient and bear with me though, I will get there and I would hate for someone else to beat me to it.

QUOTE:
do you have pics for any of them?
/QUOTE

I have some images in progress, but I'm not ready for another upload yet.

And a note to Rollo:
I had planned to wait until all outline images were done before I did any colouring, but I have decided to break my own rule. I should have a completed racial portrait by Tuesday for inclusion in your zips. (I do like the Hagar pics though=-) I'll mail them to you.

Okay, great. Can't wait to see it. If I upload the new stuff with the official race picture and flag we need also agree on a new and official race name (and I can finally get rid of the self-centered Rollvik name, which was never intended for public use just for PBW, but I was too lazy to change all the file names ). What do you think (anybody)? Just Vikings_? Space_Vikings_, Odinsons_, Einherjar_, Aesir_ whatever...

What do you think?

A note to Andres - Sorry if my previous post seemed harsh. No offence intended, I really respect your work. I just don't want to lose control of the SV images.

It seems that the email listed in this forum is wrong. Trying again with the one listed in your site.
