i'm gonna get some new backrounds off hades, and i don't know what folder to put them in. is it effects?
also, in the cardinal spear: vega, where did they get that ringed gas giant planet? it was awesome.
-
data/effects.
Herra Tohtori made the planet, which is a model and not a background.

Basically they are models but they still had textures. Low-end killer textures I might add.

k, thanks

How do you add new non-FS music to the game for use via fred?
-
\data\music. Ogg Vorbis or wav.

That too.
-
will it work if i take mp3s and just change the extension at the end?
-
No, but nice try.
-
so that means there's pretty much NO music i can use? dang, i even had the timing worked out for one...

You can convert the files.

You'll need the table entries for the planets you add as well, unless you're simply substituting the already existing planets by naming your new planets with the old filenames.
Basically, make a <arbitrary_name>-str.tbm which contains all the table entries for the planets you add.
It's possible you know this already, but it can't hurt anyway... :p

Thanks. ;) Of all those planets, I think that one was my favourite too, even though it was a bit of a pain to get the model behave properly with the transparency of the rings.
Although I have to say that as far as textures are concerned - had I realized how many graphics cards were limited to 2048^2 texture sizes, I would've toned down the texture sizes so that 2048 would've been the greatest dimension in them as opposed to 4096... :rolleyes:
->Angelus: Titan has issues with programs he can install on the computer he almost has the right to use. So he likely won't be able to convert any thing to any other format... aside from the tools offered by Windows (or programs that have Win on their name). And WinAmp doesn't really offer that much conversion power.

You can convert the files.
Audicity (http://audacity.sourceforge.net/) is your friend.
-
Titan won't be able to install it on the PC he almost has the right to use, because Audacity doesn't have Win on it's name.
It's made of Win and Gold, but that is not sufficient. It would need to have Win in it's name to pass the quality control for programs that Titan is allowed to install.

Dangit Tohtori beat me to it. Yeah if it's open source it's apparently the devil, who knows what evil stuff the programmers put in plain sight.
-
Well I could convert it :P
-
One of these days I'm gonna supply Titan with the following programs: WinFirefox, Win-7-Zip, WinAudacity, WinFoxit Reader, and WinFreeSpace_Open. And while we're at it, why not a handy WinUbuntu as well?
Edit: Oi, Titan. If you really can't install anything on your computer, just email the mp3s to either me or blackhole so that we can convert them. Just note that if you send them to me, I have a 10mb limit on the inbox of the address on my profile. So don't clog it, alright?

Titan needs to MOW some lawns (or this tiem fo year shovel snow) and get his own computer and net access lol...
I paid $75.00 for a 2400 baud modem one Christmas! Same for a 80 column text card! (Pheer the Technology!)
Goldwave and lame3 plug-in, might have ogg natively or another plug-in I forget...
