Well, make one change. Just name them "Components.bmp" instead of "NewComponents.bmp".

I think a good way to handle this would be to keep the complete Image Mod as the standard, and allow volunteers to create theme packages that are subsets of it.

Then a modder could say, "this mod uses ThemePack X; you can install either just X or the full Image Mod to support it."

Definitely I will be doing the newcomponents -> components.bmp thing. It causes too much trouble.

Changing stuff. OH NO!! I almost have this system down. Please SJ, don't change it. Pretty Please! Well at least not to much!

What the namechange below will be doing is to automate the install procedure. After extracting the files, you will not need to go in and switch the minis manually.

SJ, that sounds like a good thing! I have some images coming. I only say this because the number of images is substantial. Facilities (as per request) 20-30, Events about 10. Planets, warp points and the like 40-50. I have several Race images. But I don't know if they are something you use in your mod. After this U/L, it is on to the combat file. With an occasional facility, planet or component thrown in!

There isn't any event imagepack...
Though I suppose we could start one.

Race pics aren't used in the imagemod, but you could use them as the basis of shipsets. Alternatively, if you don't want to design all those ships, just throw together some AI_General text files and release them as neutrals

SJ, I didn't realize there wasn't an events imagepack. So, I will hold off on U/L the events I have until you decide whether to make one or not! If is any incentive, I have about 50 really good ideas, not images as of yet!

dogscoff, I am working on 5 different shipsets presently. I did one Neutral Race image, for my own game. I got tired of looking at that Mohawk.

Damn, Mumbles, you are one busy guy! With all your SE4 projects I'm amazed you have time for everything. Do you have some kind of temporal technology that allows you to spend 12 hours a day making images for SEIV and playing the game, 12 hours for chasing women and still have 10 hours left for eating and sleeping?
