Yes, you have to do something yourself ;) It isn't too hard :)

You know what would be really neat for intagration?

A list of SCP sanctioned backgrounds / enhancements / maps etc that are all supported by the project. This would make compatability much easier since all user made missions could take advantage of the same table and effects pack plus any additions that the mission creator makes. These maps could be placed up for download alongside a pre-written .TBL file for them so all you need to do is plug and play... this could even be packaged into a VP file...

 
yeah, that is being worked on, by the media vp as well.

FRED needs a dds or a PCX to work from.

As kasperl said, you can't see the tga's in FRED. Hmmm... I think I should make some pcx versions.

Oh, and don't use the nebulae thingys. They don't look half as good in FS2, due to some transparency problems. I'll have to look into it.

Ok, I updated the rar with new pcx versions that can be used in FRED. Linky:

DL Updated Version

If you have a slower connection, you can download only the pcx's.

PXC Only

 
LtC, you and LS are fantastic.
