1) info: This version of the neutral pack wil only work in stock games, or with the unnamed mod or FQM (Fyron's quadrant mod) or a combination of those gametypes.
A mod compatibility add-on is available but it does not have support for custom speechfiles (and requires this version of the mod to be installed into your stock folder!) 
The neutral pack currently adds four new neutral races to the game. They do not come with their own shipsets and will use the default shipset instead. None of the races will leave their home system.
The neutral pack currently contains four races: The Hoverwort, the Jirwick, the Othosk and the Tjondrelm all use random names in the game (but use their race name for their population)
 
The portraits in this neutral pack are free for use if you want to create a shipset for them. If a complete shipset is made for one of these races, I will remove that race from the neutral pack, so that they can live on as a true race. 


2) Installation : The neutral pack is an add-on and not a stand alone mod, you do not have to create a new mod directory to use it. This version will only work in combination with either stock, or the unnamed AI mod. 
To add the Neutral pack to your unnamed or stock game of SEV you only have to extract the zip file into the \empires directory of the stock game or the directory used by your unnamed mod. 

You should now be able to use the new race portraits and/or flag when you create your own race. There's also a chance that the game will add the new neutral races as a neutral computer player to your games (if you have neutral races switched on). There's no guarantee that they will be added to every game, it depends on the number of neutral races the computer adds and the number of neutral races available.
