Official Image Collection

[Fyron]

You know, hosting the Image Mod on my site has done wonders for the traffic. I've had 185 unique visitors so far in February. Woohoo! And, the ratio of "Pages (unique)" to "Unique Visitors" is 7.908, meaning that alot of people are actually visiting the other pages on my site. I feel so special.

Hmm... I need to stop making so many Posts in a row.

"Well, no. I assumed that not many people with more than a passing interest in computer use would be using 800x600 resolution."

My eyesight is bad enough without having to squint just to see the Windows icons, to say nothing of text..

1024x768 is halfway OK, but man, anything higher than that is pretty insane. Not sure I'd even want to stick with this rez, either.

17 inch NEC monitor, FYI. 1280x1024 is as high as it will go. No idea what the refresh rate is, but it isn't good.

I downloaded the image mod and saw some empty spaces after my cubeworlds...

So I've drawn some more.=-) Hope to post tonight.

BTW, does anyone here read The Tick? There is a good reason for asking...

[dogscoff]

Nope. You remember the one where Chairface Chippendale decided to carve his name on the surface of the moon with a big laser, but only got as far as "CHA"?


SPOOOOOOON!!

Heh, even better!

Dogscoff:
Yay! An on topic post .
What about a sports theme? Baseball, tennis, basketball and volleyball planets. Bats, rackets and nets for weapons and shields
That would probably be better for a conVersion mod, though, where you'd just replace the original images, rather than running through all the files to change image numbers...

I use 1152 x 864 at home.
At work, my Monitor supports 1600x1200, so I use it

- Rightclick the desktop, choose properties.
- Click the Appearance tab.
- In the "Item" dropdown menu, choose "Icon"
- Crank up the size to 42 or so. (for 125% larger image area)
- The next two items in the dropdown list are Icon spacing. Tweak those until the Icons fit nicely. 48 should be good if you've used 42 for icon size.
- At this point, setting the resolution to 1600x1200 makes the icons are look as big as they look normally on 1024x768. If you stay with a normal resolution, the icons will be super sized.

OK, some more planets for the mod. These are in addition to the planets already submitted.

Hmm... you seem to have missed my question.

What sort of graphic would be good on the galaxy map? I didn't really want to mess it up with little icons everywhere, but if there is a problem, I can make do.

I would use a higher res, but my moniter only supports up to 1280x1024.

Dogscoff and SJ:
Hey, I am trying to steal this thread, but you sure aren't making it easy on me!

Phoenix-D:
Sorry about the high-res requirement. You could try right-clicking on the Cartpgraphy link and selecting "open in new browser window." That would get rid of the border and the top frame, so the detail page would have more space. Then, view the page in full screen mode (F11 in IE), which will give it even more room.

Dogscoff: Got it!

Fyron: I'd imagine a empire flag mini would be good. Add a small flagpole sticking into the specific star if it looks better.
