Also interesting: the message popped up 5 times in a row, and during new game setup, the "Your Empire" slider for "Home System" was all the way down to "Harsh", where it has never been set -- and there are 5 options in that slider. Related?

machitis -> RE: Diverse Worlds v16 - Ketarov (1/29/2011 2:20:21 AM)
Aha -- this was the case: I had previously been using the "Star Trek" theme from TRSE, and had added custom empires (5 of them, in fact). When I got to the other empires screen, the error was happening again. Once I removed all of them, the errors stopped.

WoodMan -> RE: Diverse Worlds v16 - Ketarov (1/29/2011 2:22:04 AM)
Ah glad you fixed it [;)] This issue has been fixed in the new Beta patch released tonight (stickied on the main page of the forum).

WoodMan -> RE: Diverse Worlds v17 - Ackdarian (1/30/2011 10:05:21 PM)
Hey all! Version 17 with the Ackdarian is now available for download on the first page. The ships were made from a very small stock of original art, because I had already used the same original shipset to make both the Quameno and Ketarov and I didn't want them to appear too similar. However, overall, I'm pretty happy with how they turned out. Have fun! [image]local://upfiles/35265/531B38FB42A347499DBBC2E5B7E704A7.jpg[/image]

WoodMan -> RE: Diverse Worlds v17 - Ackdarian (1/30/2011 11:24:53 PM)
A possible Naxx design. Just messing around trying to find a style. I know people wanted wings (including me) but thats pretty hard to do well with the original art as there aren't any big wings [:D] Edit: Can anyone tell me what the default Naxx flag colours are? Do they have that dark pinky colour with a pink symbol, or that dark pinky colour with a yellow symbol? [image]local://upfiles/35265/67D5ACBDE187429FBFE9383AD0AF612D.jpg[/image]

Igard -> RE: Diverse Worlds v17 - Ackdarian (1/31/2011 1:01:17 AM)
Just looking at my little colour chart, it's the sort of Purple/Pink colour. Between the Dark purple and the bright pink. The secondary colour is yellow. I'd say that's about the right colour scheme for them you've got there, it's pretty Naxxy looking.

NefariousKoel -> RE: Diverse Worlds v17 - Ackdarian (1/31/2011 3:27:59 AM)
Lavender? [:D]

Igard -> RE: Diverse Worlds v17 - Ackdarian (1/31/2011 4:42:49 AM)
No No. It's more of a Lilac.惽;)] Either way I'm sure the Naxxilians don't smell like either of those.

J HG T -> RE: Diverse Worlds v17 - Ackdarian (1/31/2011 7:04:33 AM)
Ackdarians look great! And I don't care if they look a bit similar to Quanemo. They are both aquatic races after all. Naxilian ship reminds me of Ketarov resupply ship, but looks good otherwise. Not many races left: Naxilians, Shandars and Atuuks + Ancients and Shakturis if moi remembers right.

WoodMan -> RE: Diverse Worlds v17 - Ackdarian (2/2/2011 1:34:34 PM)
Cheers guys! Next update will probably be Friday, or maybe tomorrow if things go unexpectedly fast [:D] It will also probably contain two shipsets, the Naxxilian one, and a replacement for the Humans which will be in the Extra Content folder (either that or the old Human set will go there). I'm just making the Humans for fun, because to be honest I find the Naxx shipset a bit annoying to make due to flashing lights bug [:@] New Humans (destroyer, escort, troop transport): [image]local://upfiles/35265/4C148EBC4E79407DB914D355407C2992.jpg[/image]

J HG T -> RE: Diverse Worlds v17 - Ackdarian (2/2/2011 4:41:23 PM)
Those new 'umie ships look great. I'll probably replace the old ones with these, they look that good. They remind me of something but I can't remeber what it is.

Data -> RE: Diverse Worlds v17 - Ackdarian (2/2/2011 5:39:41 PM)
the middle one (escort) makes me think of cardassians, the lower one (transport) makes me think of....something indecent [:D]

Abraxis -> RE: Diverse Worlds v2 - Dhayut (2/4/2011 3:42:28 PM)
Wow, This set is awesome woodman, thanks!

WoodMan -> RE: Diverse Worlds v17 - Ackdarian (2/5/2011 6:12:41 PM)
Hey all! Update is taking longer than I thought to finish. Still working on it [;)] Here is the new Human combat ships: [image]local://upfiles/35265/5A34C3D69EF54F9EBDB33525DEF92DEA.jpg[/image]

Data -> RE: Diverse Worlds v17 - Ackdarian (2/5/2011 6:37:27 PM)
very detailed...me like it

J HG T -> RE: Diverse Worlds v17 - Ackdarian (2/5/2011 6:38:41 PM)
Whoa! I'll definetly be using those human ships. They are ace! But I still get this odd that feeling I've seen them somewhere...

WoodMan -> RE: Diverse Worlds v17 - Ackdarian (2/6/2011 12:52:20 AM)
Hey all! I'm having serious problems with the Naxx set. Basically, I don't like them. They look out of place among the other shipsets because of their odd colours, for some reason the flashing lights bug is really prominent (I'm guessing it has something to do with the colours also) and blocky wasn't really what I had in mind for them. So, I'm asking for suggestions. Basically, pick a shipset from among the original DW, and tell me of any colour changes you think would be done to that set for Naxxilians, and any rough shape ideas you have. I'll then make a few and see what looks good. The ships need not look anything like the original ships from that set remember. For example, the above Human ships are made from MinorSets/Family6. I'm just totally stuck for inspiration/ideas. Anything would help [:D] In the meantime, the new Humans are ready, its a bit late now, so I will upload them tomorrow. I switched the Destroyer and Frigate around in the above post because I think the Destroyer image looks swift and agile and would go better along with the Escort, while the Frigate image looks more bulky and would go better in between the swift looking two and the big two [;)] The set also includes a alternative Cruiser and Destroyer, I put my favourite two as default, but you can have a look and substitute them if you like. [:)]

Data -> RE: Diverse Worlds v17 - Ackdarian (2/6/2011 7:58:01 AM)
options, options....the life of us mortals who are provided for by you modders is so hard [:)]

J HG T -> RE: Diverse Worlds v17 - Ackdarian (2/6/2011 8:18:16 AM)
I'm not sure which set you used on your failed Naxx set, but I'm suggesting family5 from orginal race sets. For colors, replace the yellowish base color with white or silver and use (dark) violet/purple for original red parts. I know there's some other sets with these colors but white seems to fit in with Naxilians home enviroment, ice-planets. And purple... well they are purple... lila... or something like that.

WoodMan -> RE: Diverse Worlds v17 - Ackdarian (2/6/2011 5:40:52 PM)
Hey, thanks for the suggestion J HG T. I had a little go with that set, the yellow colour is actually a mix on red and yellow on that set. So its hard to do any coloour editing unless you completely desat the red. I'm using that set to make Ancient Guardian and probably Atuuk too. [;)] Here is a new idea for Naxx. It will take a bit longer because I'm scrapping the old purple ones. Humans coming after my dinner [:D] [image]local://upfiles/35265/DE158B19E81141D891F58E925EC94625.jpg[/image]

Simulation01 -> RE: Diverse Worlds v17 - Ackdarian (2/6/2011 5:45:25 PM)
Well, the Naxx are dinosaur like......what if you made their color like a blend or fading from one end to the other green and brown. Like it would start off a light brown at one end and then gradually become a greener color. It might also be cool if their ships were kind of like organic skinnned. Maybe you give their ships some kind of rough texture like that of a dinosaur might be? Just thinking here take this as you would.

WoodMan -> RE: Diverse Worlds v17 - Ackdarian (2/6/2011 5:48:58 PM)
Yeah the dino idea is cool, thats why I originally thought about putting bird like wings (like the Swarm from GSB). However, thats really, really, out of my artistic reach using only original DW art.

J HG T -> RE: Diverse Worlds v17 - Ackdarian (2/6/2011 5:49:26 PM)
The new Naxx ship looks good. If you look at it in certain way it looks a lot like a dinosaur of somekind, T-rex or something... which is nice. Looks definetly better than the first concept.

Simulation01 -> RE: Diverse Worlds v17 - Ackdarian (2/6/2011 5:53:42 PM)
I agree with J HG T. The new ship does have something of a top down dino look to it. Well, done.

Data -> RE: Diverse Worlds v17 - Ackdarian (2/6/2011 6:46:22 PM)
now this ship really reminds me of the Firefly series

J HG T -> RE: Diverse Worlds v17 - Ackdarian (2/6/2011 6:52:38 PM)
Huh... Now that you mentioned it Data, it sure reminds me of the Firely too. Have watched it some but never got into it seriously.

WoodMan -> RE: Diverse Worlds v17 - Ackdarian (2/6/2011 7:06:25 PM)
Its partly hand shaded too [:)] If you look at the new Human ships above, although they look cool, they look a bit 2D compared to all the other ships. This is because the edges of those ships aren't the edges in the original art. I've done the same with the Naxx, but now I'm using Burn brush down the edges and dodge up the middle to make them look less flat. I will probably go over all the new Human ships like this now that I've tried it. More Naxx previews coming later, I'm now trying to out wings on all their small ships. I'll leave the big 5 wingless though. Here is a example: Colony and Passenger [image]local://upfiles/35265/46D6353878C14B55B3987AA519636879.jpg[/image]

Igard -> RE: Diverse Worlds v17 - Ackdarian (2/6/2011 7:24:00 PM)
I love those new Naxx ships. Very reptilian.

WoodMan -> RE: Diverse Worlds v17 - Ackdarian (2/6/2011 7:49:36 PM)
Thanks Igard! Destroyer: [image]local://upfiles/35265/C7C45BDC892E4DCEBAD7DA77735E4F2E.jpg[/image]
