Is there a version of this that supports .JPG yet Phreak? I've made a new one, and I think I've fixed the stretching problem, it's just a matter of tiling the central band image, but it's using Bobb's image and a planetary nebula, and it just looks mad when I convert it to 256 colour :(

Flipside :D

Hmmmm.... I think the tiling is more or less fixed, just do a little bit more bugtesting and put this one up for d/l :)

I'll look into it Karma, that way may need the Skybox to be mapped a little differently, but I'll see if it can be done ;) The graininess of the picture may be a problem too :(

Ok, the tiling works, the only problem at the moment is there is a slight contrast difference where I have merged the telescope images with the starry background, I'll remake the JPG's and post them at some point this evening :)

Flipside :D

Edit : This may take longer than I thought, the nebula images continue off of the edge of the Bitmap, making for sudden drop-offs between textures.....
Gonna have to start learner how to create my own nebula ;)

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences.

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

Just a thought, but wouldn't this leave both the current Freespace stars and Background decoration images obsolete? I mean, if someone wanted to have an animated image on the sky, as has already been mentioned, you could just change the material of a few polys on the Skybox and do it that way?
How much CPU time would it save if there were an option to turn of stars completely in Fred for a particular mission? You could do the same with background decoration, since it would now mostly be useful for animated images for those who didn't want to start playing around with the sky models?

Flipside :D

Edit : LOL and yes, I see he little devil ;) They're coming!

For test purposes, can someone try a BG with true single-pixel stars and post a screenshot? I wanna see how big they appear to be in-game.

no, they just copyrighted the tools to view the universe:p

about that background, I should be able in few minutes with photoshop (as long as I find a star background that fit the one of the image) to prepare the image so that it could be tiled. This would be necessary even if you don't want to repeat it. About the tileing, I may be missing some parts of the thread, but can't you simply use different images for the two emispheres (if one single image for the whole sphere is too blurry)?
