Yeah, but the HUD and all of the targeting information, etc., it'd all be against the background.

If the background is filled with colors, especially bright ones (like in the image above, the centre's of the stars are pure white, and all around them is white-blue), plus the intense coloration regarding the nebulae, you'd have a hard time seeing important information regarding your flying.

If you can, try it out, you'll see what I mean.

BlackDove don't know about you but i wouldn't have hud problems - and that kinda background wouldn't be the only one - there'd be dense star regions and less dense ones

dense would form a disk around you

And does he have time? :thepimp:

I actually asked him to do some BWO backgrounds. Interested in the project, but not enough time.

So I did my own.

It would be nice to have the built-in starfield look more like the one in I-War 2

[mikhael]

That should be pretty easy, Firecrack. The starfield in Iwar2 is a just a skybox. The real trick is the fade-in/fade-out stars based on whether the eyepoint is moving or not.

[FireCrack]

Realy.. hmm. The fade thing does add to it though.


Would it be possible, using a texture for individual stars, to have a thing l;ike this generated (by the # of stars option in fred)

Sorry for trying to help you "find images like [that] one". Next time I'll be more considerate before posting.
