Oh this is depressing

In the Last two months this site has only been visited about 20 or so times. After all that work I put into those sets to see this site being utterly ignored is so painful. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

I really have to learn how to make ship sets, there are so many races in my Mod and I can't expect TerranC to do them all. That would not be fair. What is the best software (considering learning curve, etc) that is:

A) Free:

and also

B) Pay for:

finally

C) Just the best hands down (learning curve aside):

DOGA hands down. The trick though is to use the lego blocks collectively to make new shapes and designs that look nothing like the stock ones.

I saw that the mod info you posted in the "Important SEIV Information and Stuff" is getting buried. I would say to bump your post back to the top and break the sticky into SEIV Information and Stuff and SEIV GOLD Mod. You maintain the SEIV GOLD MOD and edited it like Slick edits the "Frequently Asked Questions for Newbies". I see too many Posts where someone is asking for Mods. The newbies may not be looking there.

I've been to your site and linked all the sets from the neostandard site.

[Unknown_Enemy]

well, everytime I take use one of your shipset I upload it to the PBW. So your site not visited frequently doesn't means he is not regarded in high estim.

AT, Maybe if you took me up on my offer to showcase some ships by pasting them on some nice backgrounds it would help generate some interest.

I made Thread called "Attention Shipset Builders" but got very little response.

I for one would love to see some of your ships rendered larger and at different angles to make some very interesting montages. (ie: A nice big Colony ship heading away from the cam towards a perfect huge Rcok/Oxygen planet.)

I'm sure that Fyron wouldn't mind hosting the pics in the Image Gallery over at SE.net.

Nuf said, Cheers! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Could someone fill me in on Neostandard? What it is, how to "patch" to it, etc.

[dogscoff]

Iron ginat: Click the banner in my sig down there, then find your way to the neostandard section. All the information you need is there.

You don't need to "patch" anything to benefit from the neostandard, you just need some mods and some shipsets that use them. however you might want to download and install the neoexpansion pack, which is also on my site.

Any questions, just ask.

BTW, be aware that my website will soon be moving. When it does I'll make sure there are redirection pages in place.

Can't remember if his mod actually includes neostandards images...

Pirates & Nomads also use neostandard pics, but it can only be played with human players.

[dogscoff]

Well spotted Shang. That was a test, of course, just to make sure you're all paying attention...

As computer engineer and part time web designer myself I would like to point out few things of that site. With all respect to web designer, this is meant for friendly advice.

That site hurt my eyes. I looked it about 5 seconds and I had no will to look it any longer. The colors of the text are too bright for the black background.

For example look at this forum. Light brown background and black text. I can read this forum for hours and my eyes are not tiring. Use colors, which are not contradictory. Pastel colors are excellent in this. Here is few combinations you could try (do not use bright colors unless you want to make something to be especially seen):

Light brown background and black text (like in this forum).
Light blue and beige.
Green background and black text.


If you insiste black background, use light brown font and make it bigger. Usually, the darker the background, the bigger the font. Also if you want to make something to be noticed, normal red test is perfect in that.

Atro, it is slightly OT maybe, but do you plan any latest gold patch related updates on astmod? If so, what is the approx. ETA?

Appreciate it.
