Yeah, I agree. Makes it easier for editing as is, but I'll regroup them in the next Version.

Also, did you see the edits to my first post?

Most of the art is either temp, and horrific to gaze upon, or default SE4 art. Other art is from Magic: The Gathering.

Was there supposed to be any custom graphics other than the generic ship folder? |

Nope, since the art is the least fun for me to do, I was going to wait and see if there is interest in playing the mod first. (And/or if others were interested in helping create art for the mod).
Components will just be like the Vehicle Portraits (ie, M:TG pictures). Not sure what to do about the "starmap". All my amateurish efforts towards making a background resulted in the blinding of my test monkeys. Planets/Warpoints etc depend on what the "starmap" looks like, so holding off on that as well. |

Re: Fantasy Empires Mod
Get some grass textures (search on Google) and make the "starmap" look like a field of grass. 
Maybe the grass on this page?
Or this page.

Re: Fantasy Empires Mod
I made a nice grass background image for you. Of course, the planets look weird, as they are meant to have black backgrounds. I think they black boxes will disappear if you turn on the masking in SystemTypes.txt.

Heh, googling grass was the first thing I tried a few months back (before I gave up), but it seems you found a much better sample than I did... Mine hurt eyes, yours looks good.
Still, though, kind of jarring with the rest of the blue and black in the UI. Maybe if I change the blues to greens?
Thanks a lot. Let it be known that Fyron knows where to get good grass. |
