Default 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.

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. They would have to be fairly similar looking though, or else it might just look odd...

This mod has the potential to become huge... 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 ), 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 ). I wonder how many different system types SE4 will allow in Quadrants.txt...
