Yo!

To get backdrops for your systems you're gonna waste hours staring at, do this:

First, copy all System Pack images to their designated folders.
For example, the content of the folder /system/1024x768 in the .zip file goes to the folder with the same name in your game directory.

The SystemTypes.txt file that came with the System Pack will enable the backgrounds and assign a diffrent starfield to each solar system type, so you'll get a little more variety.

Check if you have any other mods installed that altered the SystemTypes.txt file in some way, or you might get an error message or two.
If not, Copy the one in the System Pack to your /Data folder, and all systems will have new backdrops assigned to them. You'll have to start a new game to see the standard solar system images, though.

Or you could just make the changes yourself;

(SystemTypes.txt)

	Name                      := Standard 1
	Description               := Standard solar system.
	System Physical Type      := Normal
 =====> Background Bitmap         := Syp_Starmap1.bmp
	Empires Can Start In      := TRUE
	Mask Background Objs      := FALSE

But I'm sure you already know how to do that, eh?

Well that oughtta do it. I hope you enjoy the System Pack.
