| Summary | 0000754: starfield sets ( I miss Sparce) | ||||
| Description | The starfields were too muddy for me many times. I went into aiwar\runtimedata\images\starfield backed up all the .png files to a safe place sorted by size and got rid of all starfield images bigger than 48k leaving 8 images I then copy/ paste/ renamed/ the surviving 8 until I had 30 png files (0-29) again. So now I have 3-6 repeats of each image but I have "sparce" starfields again. It was a quick slash and burn solution that works for me. Someday I hope there will be various "sets" (very sparce,sparce,std. etc) available that can be chosen from the game lobby. If the sets could be chosen from the lobby then for marketing/media pop you could release themed sets from time to time (a "ghostly" set for halloween , could be fun to see St. Nick and his reindeer flying thru the sky once in a while :) Might be too silly for some, but could get some low cost media attention. Could run a contest to get user entries -- winner to be released as a (named after the winner) bonus set. | ||||

Nope, no sets. However: * The starfield graphics have been updated to in general have less background noise, leading to blacker blacks in the non-star portions. This helps to avoid the starfields looking "muddy" on certain monitors. ** The amusing thing was that some players complained this was "not realistic," when actually some of the most complained about images were actually cropped from the public domain hubble images. But you can't please everyone. ;) |

Lol NP how do the new images get installed into an existing install? Game is realy coming together -- Should be ready for prime time on Monday |

They'll just overwrite your existing images in the next patch. It's definitely coming together, but still so many details to sort out at the last minute. Blah. |
