New neutral race: The Jirwick Infestation |
Here's a new neutral race I made for Space Empires V: The Jirwick Infestation.
The Jirwick use new raceportraits and empire flags, but like the other neutral races in SEV they will use the default shipset since the race has no ships of it's own.
1) Installation : This is an add-on for stock SEV. You do not have to create a new mod for it. To add the Jirwick to
your stock games of SEV do the following:extract the zip file, and copy the \Jirwick folder into the Space Empires V\empires folder. this is the directory with all the other races.
You should now be able to use the Jirwick race portrait and/or flag when you create your own race. There's also a chance that the game will add the Jirwick as a neutral computer player to your games (if you have neutral races turned 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.
Edit: here's a preview

New races are always welcome
New races are always welcome Cheers 
Have you done any tweaking on the AI of them?
Neutral race AI
Thanks
I have not yet changed their AI, they use a copy of the default AI that the other neutrals use, the only thing new is the designnames file. For a next version I will certainly change their speech file.
I have no coding or programming experience whatsoever, and have not messed with the actual AI yet, I might try to do so in the future. Any more experienced AI programmers are ofcourse welcome to try .
I do plan to create some more neutral races, and will put all of them in a "neutral pack" that I can more easily update with new AI and speechfiles.
