I just had trails turned on in FRED because they look nice.

It was cool for me when I did it...but that was back when I had bad ideas + free time. Now I just have bad ideas, so..no go..

I will probably convert them, but i'll first have to finish testing various DDS compressors for their quality.

@Solatar: Care to post the mission background settings? It would really help building the background lib

Sure, but all I did was use Kazan's background generator.

It makes awesome backgrounds with these.

I tweaked it a little though, and I'm using it for a background for the Vasuda system.


EDIT: Also, in addition to this, I put in a very large and not very dense asteroid field. The distant asteroids add some atmosphere, and the occasional one that comes near to you is nice.

[.::Tin Can::.]

Ack ack. When can we download these?!

[Lightspeed]

Thanks. I'll try that tomorrow - If i like it i'll add it to the Background Lib 1.0™.

@TinCan: You already [SIZE=0.3]tin[/SIZE]can. Check my signature or the release posts in this thread.

[Solatar]

I'm still tweaking that particular one to my liking, but if you like it as it is, I'll leave it as it is.

[.::Tin Can::.]

Is it possible for someone WITHOUT the particular nebula effects in their folders to see them when playing a mission made with them?

[Solatar]

No, you have to have the nebula bitmaps.

We have a background generator?? Where??!! I want one!!

Pray tell then, where is this??

alliance productions is your friend, I guess, it was the kit with pcs

[Setekh]

This should be it.

These are some friggin awesomeness NEBULAS! Im going to download them, ASAP.

Unfortunately I cant seem to use it - its looking for the .lst files despite it being all over the place! ARGH!

[Solatar]

It has to be installed in c:/program files/Kazan/ in order to work I think.

Release:









As always, full previews are on Milliways: Click

Nebula Set #3 + Test missions for Set 1 & 2 & 3

I'm getting close to the limit of backgrounds again. I think the next one will be the last to get in before the limit is reached. Could any coder please bump it to something like 150?

Enjoy.

[Solatar]

*works on making an arrangement of these for Gamma Draconis.*

Newest set is looking good.

[karajorma]

Can someone bump the background limit so we can have these and the standard nebs active at the same time?
