Supernice screens there!

*holding thumbs for a evening tryout*

http://www.megaupload.com is pretty good for large files.

About the Xenon sectors, i'm thinking to eliminate all trace of light in some core sectors and make the majority with very poor light.
The idea its that the xenon look for to settle down sectors far away for any kind of solar energy, the base of any organic life. This can make the hunt of xenon very nasty, sinister and in some way difficult.

What the people think?

Pitch Black

Thanks Robert¡ Im also thing that some pitch black sectors can do a good work to make nervous the most veteran fighters.

You dont answer my question to help me and ask for a upload in this manners? Im a bit confused, right now.

The most important thing sharing a mod and the creation process is the help from others, sharing ideas and get some feedback.
For the moment only a few people seems interested in a mod like this and i dunno if i will get some return (feedback) from community.
I received some rare private messages from people that dont care to participate in this post but ask for a quick upload. No, no, no.

Added the Whitenexus and Deepred sectors. Im also thinking to desaturate the opposite red sector background.

Hi,

your pics look really great! I am not a modder and just a player, so I can not help you, but I would love to try your backgrounds as well. Thanks for your great work!

I'm pretty sure if you edited the universe file, changes in that won't take affect until you start a new game.

Looks wonderful in any case.

Hi,

I'm looking forward to trying this out. I'm already using one of the other background mods, but this looks much more promising.

The only thing I'm not too sure about is the Milky Way image in the Terran sectors. Its perhaps a little too wispy and yellow and maybe a little too big?

Other than that the preview screens look great!

Wow, are you sure? then i must put the info about the need of a new start in the first post. What a pity.

I'm fairly (99%) certain about it. Any changes to the main universe/map file require a new start to take affect.

Swapping out dds files and changing the Tbackgrounds file can be done without a restart though.

Robert Foster · Post by **Robert Foster** » Wed, 30. Dec 09, 15:36

We'll that depends.

Because right now I am using a Hubble Background mod and
another background mod on top of that and All I did was rename the CAT and DAT files.
and placed them in the same directory the .exe
is in within the main directory.

and I did not have to restart the game.

So it all depends on how he finishes the mod.

Tested with and old save and you get the backgrounds but dont get the sector changes, ugly at best.

fud · Post by **fud** » Wed, 30. Dec 09, 16:04

That's what I thought. Anytime you change/edit the x3_universe file, you'll need to restart. Backgrounds and textures you won't.

Well, I guess this mod worth the new start!

Hopefully I started just several days ago, accumulated only 2 million credits...

BTW if you'll need a new start for this, when you disable the mod you gonna need to start anew too?

I dont know.

Added Green outland sectors. Boron sectors basically.

I really like the midnite blue sector. It's going to make a great screenshot with my heavy Dragon in there. All these pics look awesome; nice work.

connary · Post by **connary** » Fri, 1. Jan 10, 19:26

Dark Horizon screenshots added to the first post.
Also added Brennan's triumph sector screenshots.

The planetary nightlights look stunning. Absolutely amazing work on this, certainly look forward to using this in future.
