Some graphics for you.

[dogscoff]

I'm in the middle of a solo proportions game and I'm currently trying to conquer one of the neutrals: the Bobroba States. Unsuccessfully so far- they've already purged me from their system once.
Anyway, having stolen a few of their troop transports and taken the infantry back to my homeworld for the zoo (Come on, I know I'm not the only who does this) I thought it would be nice if they looked a bit more recognisable.

With a military grade haircut and a helmet on, this guy looks kind of Sallegan, so I guess you could use this pic for the Sallegan infantry instead, if you preferred.

I'm considering an elite infantry pic as well if anyone's interested.

LOL! That's great!

(And yes, I too make zoos and collectables museums.)

That's just creepy.

[dogscoff]

creepy?

[Fyron]

Zoos of aliens...

[narf poit chez BOOM]

i find myself in agreement with Fyron.

[Puke]

I dont think they could fend for them selves. I have had them for more than one generation, and being raised in captivity hampers their natural ability to survive in the wild. It would be cruel to let them go now, thats why im keeping mine.

Wait, this IS an off-topic thread, right? We're not talking about SE4 aliens here, are we?

Just 24 more infantry to go! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon6.gif

[Paul1980au]

Thats good progress - 24 infantry graphics to go - you really have some work to go good luck then.

[dogscoff]

20, actually- there are 4 more here:
http://www.sandman43.fsnet.co.uk/neostandexpansion.htm

Actually I really ought to get back into the neo-expansion pack. I have almost 20 unreleased images (including one infantry pic) ready for Version 1.30.

Also, did I ever get round to releasing the generic ++ images I made? In particular the starliner and elite infantry images, which really make a difference to proportions.

[dogscoff]

The infantry pics have beecome part of a greater whole- they have been assimilated into the brand spanky new Proportional Response Pack (http://www.sandman43.fsnet.co.uk/propresp.htm), a collective of neostandard and neostandard++ images specifically designed to prettify your proportions games. Enjoy.

[Fyron]

How about an Adamant Response Pack? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

[Paul1980au]

Adamant response pack sounds like a good idea.

[dogscoff]

What would an adamant response pack require? Sure ly the plentiful neostandard and neostandard++ images already available would work in adamant? Nonetheless, check your (hotmail) email. Ask, and Dogscoff shall provide.*


*PLEASE NOTE: While the adage "Ask, and Dogscoff shall provide." is essentially true, it should be notedthat sometimes you might have to wait year or two. Ask Rollo about the Vikings. Or Pathfinder about the Cascor. Or Chronon about the Verdurans. Or Katchoo about several of his sets. Or TerranC. Or any poor sod actually attempting to read Othaglot & Cane...

[Fyron]

Yes, they do work in Adamant. But Adamant has a lot more ship sizes than the neo-standard and ++ packs have... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif You can see which images are used by grabbing the Data files of Adamant Mod here (http://www.spaceempires.net/home/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=getit&lid=300) and looking in the VehicleSizes.txt file. The Organic and Magic ships should be calling for the same images as the Physical ones, and if there are any differences then that would be a bug needing reporting. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Just finished work on another neutral infantry pic, so I hopw to be uploading Version 1.10 of the PRpack tonight (about 7 or 8 hours after this post).

You're in for a real treat with this one=-)

BTW, anyone wishing to contribute to the pack is welcome to do so- just email me your images for inclusion. Suitable images would be infantry/elite infantry pics for the first 6 neutral races (or the 4 additional neutrals included with the next patch), or elite infantry/starliners for any of the 20 game-standard races.

[Fyron]

Do you mind if I include this in Adamant Mod? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

[dogscoff]

Behold, wonder and phear:
Version 1.10 of the Proportional Response pack (http://www.sandman43.fsnet.co.uk/propresp.htm) is here, with a beefy, tangy new flavour provided by the truly awesome Texrak Battlecow.

http://www.dogscoff.co.uk/images/battlecow.jpg

May our deities of choice have mercy upon us...

BTW: Fyron, it would be an honour to be included.

LOL http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

[Rollo]

[gregebowman]

Where's the link?

[Captain Kwok]

That battlecow is simply awesome!

[Cipher7071]

Anybody got a flamethrower? And pass the barbeque sauce, please. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

[narf poit chez BOOM]

Hamburger on the Hoof!

[Fyron]

Yeah, no plasma udder? At least the elite infantry needs one! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon6.gif
