The size limit is practical, rather than technical.
SE4 can handle at least 64,000 images.
However, the ZIPped Versions of the bigger packs are already up to 5 megs, and only about 500 images.
The best thing for the imagemod is a smaller number of polished images. I'd hate to have to distribute this on CDs
Sorry about the confusion. I'll have to avoid posting about things like that too close together
As for requests, the FacilityPack and especially the CombatPack are quite small at the moment.
Themed facilities, such as organic buildings, crystalline buildings, magical buildings and such would be useful.
Especially the organic buildings.
There is a lot of room for work in the CombatPack too. I've added a fairly large set of torp and beam animations for many of the common SE4 weapons (even separate animations for different tech levels of one weapon!).
The beam animations show a lot of opportunity too. SE4 has quite a unique way of displaying the beam weapons.
For the beam animations, there is a section near the top of the image that gets covered by the bottom part of the image as it tiles across space towards the target. Then there is the bottom half, which repeats regularily.
Combined with SE4's masking, you can do all sorts of things. I don't consider myself terribly creative, but I did manage to come up with a Torpedo+Trail animation
I stuck a torpedo shape in the top section, and colored the bottom so that it would erase the torpedo as it tiled and leave a spotty gas trail.
And then theres always the Helix cannon animation, such as in my sig
I really don't know why more people aren't submitting images for the CombatPack.
