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

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.

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)

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?

Sooner or later I'll get round to requesting the same change of all mods.

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

THere was no standard for additional sat images when you made the set- you were the first.

Now there is mlmbd's ++ standard which includes the extra sats but names them differently to the way you did. He's already released (at least) 2 compatible sets, and I'm working on a third.

ALl we have to do now is get modders to alter their mods to use the images- just have satellitesmall, satellitemedium, satellitelarge sat as the primary image and satellite as the secondary for all of them. THat way the mod stays fully backward-compatible but supports extra images. The same thing can be done for mines and drones.

Fyron: Curses!

Hey, Trooper -- I just ran afoul of a bad link in the Directory.

Y'see, I got ALL excited when I read that there was a "Dark Pyrochette" ... I rather like the Pyrochette ships, and the thought of a DARKER set like that, well ... let's just say, I wasted no time rushing over and downloading it.

Unfortunately, the link doesn't point to the DARK Pyrochette, but rather, to the NORMAL Pyrochette.

Look for yourself, the two links you have for Pyrochette at SGIF are the same.

Hopefully someone can point you (and, therefor, ME) to the right place to get the Dark Pyrochette. I really want them, especially as I'm getting more and more into playing team games ... and being able to have myself and my partner use the same basic shipset, just in different colors, would be QUITE nice, IMO. 8)

BTW, in general -- I'm glad to see you're making a home for those shipsets that had become un-hosted. It'd be a shame to see the diversity of SE4 shipsets start to decline ...

Working on it now. I think I've just finished up the Last of my "pixels for hire" race portraits too, so I have no other distractions.

Well, almost no distractions...

Anyway, I just posted a bunch of new pics today. Once I've done small weapons platform (working on it now) there will be enough images to start a game using the KanesS and not see any generic images at all.
