Exactly. But the problem with this is that you have one race with all the pictures and 20 other races that use the generic pics for all the new ships. It gets confusing, and doens't look all that nice. That is the reason for neostandard idea in the first place. That and the shipset modders wanting to have mods actually use the pics they worked so hard to create.

So is this the list and the names we are using? If it is I can get started on the NeoVehicleSize.txt file for the Devnull Mod.

Those are the names i've used for the new pictures i've done for the Vandron. I have about 6 new pics done.

More neo-generic pic.

There may be changes, but this is how it looks now.
It's newer than the official Version that still has the 3 worldships.

Do you know where I can get a copy of RAR that will not quit after a trial period?

If the RAR people do not offer a free Version to unpack files (even if it won't compress them) then its kind of pointless to use for distributing files.

I do have an old DOS Version of RAR, but it can't handle those long filenames.

[Andr�s]

It would be ok with me (since my mod is the only one that uses the 3) if you want to reduce worldship pictures to only one. Besides it would be hard to actually make 3 different looking ones and most shipsets would use the copies.

[Andr�s]

I have had Winrar 2.90 beta 2 installed for some time. It shows shareware reminders, but doesn't quit.
I'm uploading the same file as a ZIP.

Another good news.
Michael Puttr� the author of the Eridani shipset hosted in my site, has reappeared (with a new email I didn�t have) and agrees to revise his pictures to see if he can upgrade the Eridani to the neo-standard.
BTW I didn�t ask him this, but now that I think about it that would be a nice looking shipset without a good original AI.

Oops. Silly me.
I was thinking of WinAce, not Rar .
I guess I just forgot to reinstall Rar since my HD got wiped out, and when the "unknown file type" thing showed up I jumped to the wrong memory.

Ok, here's the first draft of the NeoStandard VehicleSize.txt file for Devnull Mod. This is not an official mod file, I just wanted to try it out and see if this is correct. Also could be of use to some of working on shipsets.

One thing, we don't really have to call the StellarManipBarge that. Since the idea is just to be a name for a pic, not everyone is going to use it for Stellar manip components the way Devnull does. Maybe just Barge? Shorter is better.

Agreed go with "barge"
