System Backgrounds
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? 
Normal people believe that if it isn't broke, don't fix it. Engineers believe that if it isn't broke, it doesn't have enough features yet.
The difference between Mechanical Engineers and Civil Engineers is:
Mechanical Engineers build weapons.  Civil Engineers build targets
An optimist sees the glass half full; the pessimist sees it half empty. An engineer sees that the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

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.
If a man consults whether he is to fight, when he has the power in his own hands, it is certain that his opinion is against fighting.

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

I wept. Mysterious forces beyond my ken had reached into my beautiful mission and energized its pilots with inhuman bomb-firing abilities. I could only imagine the GTVA warriors giving a mighty KIAAIIIIIII shout as they worked their triggers, their biceps bulging with sinew after years of Ivan Drago-esque steroid therapy and weight training. - General Battuta

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.

Fun while it lasted.

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