New FQM Pics Here(Once Uploading is Fixed...)
 

I hope this hasn't already been posted or used, but here are some stupendous Hubble shots of a supernova in progress. Definitely worthy of being made into SEIV system shots...

Nice. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif Want to put them into SE4 format? I can add them to FQM D. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Suuure. It's kinda busy at the office today, but I should be able to get to them this evening.

Here you go Fyron.

Star Pics

Converted them into Se4 sized bmp images. I think this is all you need. They look very cool. You'll need to rename them I am guessing, but I didn't know what format for that you like so I left that part for you.

Hmmm.....I think that we would have to say that it occured some time ago.

From the sound of your previous post I thought it was going to be a hassle or something. Didn't mean to step on your toes.

By the way, I think these are very cool. Getting all four up on the screen and switching between them quickly you can see the cloud expanding like a movie. Very neat. Wonder if there are any more available? Someone might be able to use them to make a cool ship explosion graphic. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Now I just need to get ahold of a systems file and I can have a 2.06 FQM D patch! Well, and a quadrant file... *shudders*

Re: New FQM Pics Here(Once Uploading is Fixed...)
 

Actually... anyone else have any cool system pics you'd like me to add to FQM D? Best to get them all added at once. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Re: New FQM Pics Here(Once Uploading is Fixed...)
 

Well, check out *this thread* to get the FQM Deluxe 2.06 patch. Make sure to read the instructions on the post. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">I've been collecting some from a NASA website for awhile. Since Geo stole this job out from under me http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif I'll take a look at some of my older selections and do a few of them up.

Re: New FQM Pics Here(Once Uploading is Fixed...)
 

If you have better Versions of the Nebulae images already in FQM, feel free to send them along. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Do you have any images that would make good Starmap images (background for default systems)? If we get several, I can make the systems have different background images, which would be good for better diversity. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif They would have to be fairly similar looking though, or else it might just look odd...

This mod has the potential to become huge... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif I might have to rewrite it to be more modular, so you could download smaller "system packs" and have different SystemTypes.txt files available. Basically, I would just add a whole bunch of duplicate entries for various system types to every quadrant, and all system files would be the same, just with different images called for. So you might have for example 30 nebulae systems (rather excessive http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif ), but since there are only 15 graphics, Nebulae 16-30 would just use those same graphics again. This would allow easy expandability for adding new images, and would not force everyone to have to download dozens of MBs of mod files (unless they wanted to, ofc http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif ). I wonder how many different system types SE4 will allow in Quadrants.txt...

FQM D has become one of the must have mods. Great shot.

Re: New FQM Pics Here(Once Uploading is Fixed...)
 

it didn't say it was a supernova, just a light burst.

just a comment.

Re: New FQM Pics Here(Once Uploading is Fixed...)
 

meh

Re: New FQM Pics Here(Once Uploading is Fixed...)
 

I posted about this one a few months back (not the 'light echo' phenomenon, but the novalike explosion itself). Scientists still don't know what caused the explosion, as it does not fit current theories or stellar models.

My theory consists of three words: (Starfury. Demo. Oops, sorry, that's from the other thread).

As I was saying, three words : Stellar Nucleonic Torpedo.

Re: New FQM Pics Here(Once Uploading is Fixed...)
 

Well, as you can tell from the change in thread title, my intention was to upload some RAR'ed files of new nebula and black hole BMP's for Fyron. Unfortunately, the board had other ideas...

Re: New FQM Pics Here(Once Uploading is Fixed...)
 

BUMP

Anyone know why the upload form would return this error?

Re: New FQM Pics Here(Once Uploading is Fixed...)
 

No, but I got that error when I tried uploading FQM Deluxe... I could upload the 4 MB "JPEG" file, but not the 9 MB "Full" file. Try breaking the archive up into smaller chunks, it should work... Richard needs to get to fixing it. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Re: New FQM Pics Here(Once Uploading is Fixed...)
 

I put each image set (660,490,128) in a separate RAR file, so each one is only .99MB. File size should not have been a factor.

Re: New FQM Pics Here(Once Uploading is Fixed...)
 

Well, I tried uploading my Starfury Star Trek UI Mod, and the same thing happened. I tried in both RAR and ZIP, and got error Messages at the end of the upload cycle. Come on, Shrapnel, let's get it fixed! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif
