The neo-standard thread- Standardising additional hull sizes.

Suicide Junkie · #1 February 20th, 2002, 05:11 AM

Ok, I've uploaded a slightly less stubborn Version of neobuilder.exe. This one will allow you to generate the shipset without having a main, shields, or bigexplosion, though it will spew warnings in the status window

The next things I'll do are:
- Allow user to override the battleship image requirement, if they acknowlede that the shipset may end up incomplete/unplayable.
- read mod preferences for alternates from file.
- Add an option to search/copy portraits and minis individually if there are partial images found. Sub-options are for mini chooses portrait, portrait chooses mini, and independant search.

A new Version of the Neobuilder

It comes zipped with an example alternate definitions file.
Also, Battlecruiser is not required in order to attempt the image generation.

Minis and portraits are still treated as a unit in this Version.

Hey S_J, I'm updating the neo-standard site. Can I offer the neo-builder for download from there? You'll get full credit of course.

Any text or anything you'd like me to put in the html with it?

BTW, you introduced me to 8Bit & Schlock... now I want to repay the favour. Are you familiar with www.redmeat.com? I think you'll appreciate the humour...

Feel free to host the Neobuilder. The title bar in the program mentions my name, so you don't have to go overboard

I got distracted, or I would have replied earlier (and gotten more done at work), but I've gotten through the redmeat archive already

. Lots of good stuff, bordering on "sicko" at some points. Didn't stop me from eating lunch though

Sorry to drag this out of the grave, but with new mods using new images, I think this should be revised once again

The new mod I'm working on uses the format for the neostandard.

*Dogscoff enters the thread and coughs as a cloud of dust envelops him.

Wow, this is an old thread...

Umm, yeah. The neostandard is a victim of its own success really. It's become so much a standard that it hardly needs explaining any more.

Anyway, you're right. The out of date state of the webpage is shameful, and it is especially so given the hard work which race designers have put in to make their shipsets neostandard compatible.

I have some time off work coming up, (16th-20th Sep) and I'm hoping to put some hours into my various unfinished projects, including updating the neo-standard pages.
