May I just suggest that you include a General.txt file for your race. You don't have to be an expert for AI to make this, but the General.txt file determines how you see your race. You can take a file of the original standard SE IV races and modify the text according to your ideas.

Aztually this race is for Lord Kodos, see the "shipset request" thread for more details

Oh, and you need to rename the shields pic in the zip file, it's still labelled amonkrie.

DOH!!!

Very good work, Hugh. Just a little problem : the portrait pictures are 120x120 pixels, and SE IV usualy uses 128x128. Do they work when used in the game ?

Yes, but you get portraits in frames

Lord Kodos · #84 May 2nd, 2003, 12:03 AM

Im working on a General file for my Azlokians, but if anyone wants to make AI contact me.

Now, Fyron, I haven't quite heard of "Starjammer", I did a search and turned up This, I've not had a chane to go very deep into it yet but my Idea was something like this:

^That's a ship not a race pic. My Idea was to make all the ships like that, wizards in little bubbles, they use magic to manifest themselves as the ships, the more wizards in a bubble the bigger the class, the components in the design window their equivalent powers in "spells" and what not, the fighters were to be dragons "summoned" by the "carrier wizards". The bases to look like castles. What do you think, to harry potter? I can go more traditional deffinitely if you want it.

I like the Starjammer shipset your making AND these Bubble Wizards.

Are you still going t continue those Bubble Wizards?

Fyron · #86 May 2nd, 2003, 01:58 AM

It's "Spelljammer"...

And speaking of such, any new progress Hugh?

ARGH!!!

I'll fix this as soon as I can, I forgot it was 128.

and I haven't had time to do much with either the space dragons or the bubble wizzards. I just started a new job at a new Gamestop they built near me and I've been busy all day these past couple of weeks training and stuff. I had to help set the store up for the past three days. My eyes are bleeding practically, I spent the Last 9 hours "gutting" all the used PSX games(remove them from their original cases, put the disc in sleeves label them with a price tag and a 'this case is empty' sticker and put the empty case on the shelf, and then file the disc sleeve in a drawer in alphabetical order

). I've spent most of my free time working on the Azlokians. The "bubble wizards" was just me brainstorming. I read "magic" and thought wizard. They were never meant to go very far, I had no Idea what spell jamer was. I don't think I'll develope the "bubble wizards" any further, and If I do, there not that high a priority(not before I finish the space dragons and the space moths and the swarm).

EDIT: Check your private Messages Kodos, I need to know what format you want the models in.

Fyron, Continuing our IM discussion here, what do you think of these ships as "mechanical" ships for your Adamant mod? :

^they started as UFO's sorta but I started taking another direction with them. They are OLD, they predate the swarm, these are the first ships made with Doga L1 but I abandoned them when I thought up the Swarm. It shouldn't take to much to finish them, they are simple but cool.

Now these are the Pirates I told you about but here tey are displayed instead of in a zip file:

Will these look good in your "opening Screen" pic?

Very nice work!

I think those "mechanical" ships could work well as a Mechanoid race (which is much more than simple plague protection in Adamant).

I bought a couple of newbie books on HTML and I want to maybe set up my own website, nothing to fancy just a few pics of what I'm working on and a couple of links to the zip files here. What kind of program do I need to actually edit and design a website? Do I ned some special compiler or editor or something? Also What's a good free host, I was thiking Geocities, but if you got a better Idea please let me know.

And I'm going to call the below "mechanical" shipset the "Machina" (I think that's pronounced like Maw-kee-na.) Acording to this here dictionary I'm holding "Machinations" are an evil scheme or plot, that sounds cool, plus I really like the Last Smashing Pumpkins Album
