Title: New Race Images
Post by: AlStar on April 15, 2020, 10:40:15 AM: Hello,

Since Shadow's race images (which are excellent, by the way!) seem to be going in a very human / humanoid-centric direction, I thought I'd go the other way. Currently 225 images. All images taken from the Internet, and merely cropped down and/or resized by me to work well with Aurora.

Sample:

Edit: Since the number of these has stabilized (at least for now), I've included an archive for images 001 to 100 for anyone who wants the files without having to deal with Google Drive.

Edit^2: Zip file for images 101-150 added.

Edit^3: Zip file for images 151-225 added.

If so, do Aurora recognize them while creating new Races and use them?

Cheers, great work by the way.

This is not true - I just tested by moving out all of the original race images except for 327 (the default human) and generated a bunch of NPRs in Sol. They correctly used both my pictures and my space stations, without changing any names.

Post by: MarcAFK on April 16, 2020, 08:56:22 AM: I should have tested before opening my mouth. Its not the first time that stuff thats different in C# has escaped me due to assumption its the same as the old version.

Post by: thashepherd on April 16, 2020, 09:09:08 AM: In case you're curious - I dug up a few rules/tips/gotcha when creating images for Aurora in http://aurora2.pentarch.org/index.php?topic=10769.0 when I pulled it together yesterday. In addition to image names now being 'opened up' there are a few other options.

And with that, I think I'm good on races for a while. Maybe back to some more stations (or heck, maybe I'll actually play the game :P)

You go here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1bj2qGhel8JVfVyHYkle0-BIXic9n2Pk3 (https://drive.google.com/open?id=1bj2qGhel8JVfVyHYkle0-BIXic9n2Pk3), then you can get them in one of three ways:
One - you can individually select images that you want and right click them to download.
Two - you can shift-click to select multiple images, then right click to download.
Three - there should be either a "download all" button or a "..." button (which gives several options, one of which is download) which shows up at the top right of the screen.

Edit: I've now added a zip file with images 001 to 100 to the opening post, if you'd rather not have to deal with Google.
