Title: System Backgrounds
Post by: Macfie on February 24, 2008, 08:58:58 am
A while back someone (I don't remember who) was working on a set of system background templates to standardize the backgrounds for systems so that they would look the same.  I had a zip file that had a set of missions with backgrounds for different systems.  Unfortunately it got lost when I switched computers. 
Is anyone still working on this? 
Where can I get a copy of the standardized system templates?

I have it; I haven't really put into a releasable form.  I need to polish it up.  I had hoped to get the other half dozen or so stars needed for FS1 and other big campaigns out of M87 before posting it.

Never heard of animated 3D suns before.  I wouldn't think FSO could accept a 3D sun.

Just as a real-life note: Whoever does Regulus should remember that the star is a bit squashed-looking from rotating so fast. ;)

Someone released a set of backgrounds based on the existing missions once already, IIRC.

So does jupiter. Which is where :v: screwed up when they made their Jupiter planet texture, even though it wasn't *supposed* to be jupiter :P

That is M87's job.  You'll note he made Vega correctly oblate over in the stellar enhancements thread.
