new race portraits and flag sets |
greetings fellow modder community ^^
i recently found this really fantastic game, and it is so easy to modify 
...
or so i thought ...
i already edited a lot of the data even changed some existing ui pictures with nicer ones,
so i just wanted to add some new species to the game,
but i really do not have the slightest clue where i should place my "new race" pictures ???
Has anyone successfully done that already and would help me out here ?
also my flag sets don't work regardless of my tryings ^^...
may be you know what i did wrong, so here is what i did:
i opened the existing flag sets (Flag_Set.bmp, Flag_Texture.bmp, Flag_Texture_Fleet.bmp,Flag_Texture_Ship.bmp) from the terrans and edited them in photoshop.
i saved them as bmp (os/2 24bit) in the flags folder ... and ... nothing
okay thanks for reading and really looking forward to to your anserws ^^

Re: new race portraits and flag sets
okay thank you very much so far,
but that doesn't solve anything, because i already tried that
and it isn't working in any way...
i created a new folder put all my pics in there named them neutral011, changed the ai_main and ai_general to what all the neutral races look like with my patterns...
and sadly nothings changed....
...hmmmm what happened now... i put everything in the main se5 folders and i have flags so they work... although not through my mod folder... but the race pics won't show anyway...
so any more hints for me ?

okay ppl i found my mistake
i forgot the "t" in neutral (they read: Neural011_Race_Portrait.bmp) for my race pics...
that was why they didn't work ...
yes and now you may lough about me
*ach* anyway thanks for your support... keep up the good work and cya soon
and don't forget the T's

was that the evil laugh/homer doh.
SEV, more than a feeling.
Re: new race portraits and flag sets
If you want to add new species you should add them in their own folder in the \space empires V\empires\ directory . Just take a look at the other races that are already there to see what files you need (the neutral races are very basic, and don't come with their own shipset, the other races also have shipset files. )
You'll also need to edit the races RACENAME_AI_main_txt file
