Empire Style


 

Empire Style Pictures: All pictures are 24bit bitmaps or 24bit JPEGs. Each ship size has 4 pictures – a 42x42 top down view, a 128x128 portrait view of the ship, a 512x512 large portrait view of the ship, and a 500x704 top down inventory view. The portraits should have the ship facing forward and skewed towards the bottom left corner of the portrait. All of the ships within a style should have a common theme. It is intended that they are all from the same race, so they should have a common color and layout.

Empire Style Models: All models are in the X file DirectX 7.0 format. Each model is accompanied by a 24bit bitmap texture. The name of the model and texture can be anything but its recommended that the filename start with the empire name.
