ok the 0.81 file should include all new indies I've mentioned before (don't know which you already had access too)
the map file includes the .map file (edited), the galaxy.tga file (unchanged), 3 spacebackgrounds and a planetbackground.
changes in .map file:
1. all 640/641/642 provinces (which is the forest/nostart and small or large province) have had added
#skybox "one of the spacebackgrounds" (mostly backgroudn 1 or 2, 3 is a black hole and I gave it too 2 provs with promising names
)
and
#batmap "empty" (which removes the complete ground)
Result: on those maps you fight in front of stars, or a planet, walking on nothing. zooming out looks great too, the space station floating looks much better now.
2. the blue, purple, fiery and brownish planet have had their colors changed (to match color on map) In addition to this the city planet (right side, middle of height)
had a darkbrownish ground etc but also has a new skybox so the background now resembles coruscant. (this looks decent 2 bad the fading ground becomes white so you have brownish battlefield, then a stripe of white and only then the futuristic city background.. but it's nice enough.)
