Hi everyone. Ive managed to get the realspace Mod from Reunion to work with Tc Many thanks to Realspace for permission to use his Original mod. 'THANKs MATE'
The space.... the final Frontier, these are the ...
Feel 20 jears Younger when i see the Secktors with this mod, thanks.
So, therfore my Question, can i use this backgrounds in my mod?
These look sweet! Thanks for converting them. Two questions:
Are they of a higher resolution than the original TC backgrounds? Sometimes the defaults can be low-res enough that I can actually 'see' the cube that it's wrapped around.
This should work okay if it's the .dat one number lower than the script editor, right? I combine all of my mods into 07.dat and let the Script Manager take 08.dat. It doesn't load any background type files though.

As for the resolution, that a good question to which i don't know the answer (Realspce will know).... as for the cats, what youre suggestion should be ok, it's prettymuch how mine is set up and i have no probs
I read something somewhere about someone saying something about RealspaceBackgrounds increasing framerate?
For the record this mod will drop your average FPS by 5-10 frames. If you leave it running and let the stars twinkle away for 2 or 3 hours, the game slows to a 1frame per second crawl.
Just the snow on this forum for a couple of days over xmas reduced my computer to an apple 2 in terms of not being able to keep up with my typing speed.
The twinkling stars are not the cause of the performance drop. They are just a side effect of the way the engine is scaling the backgrounds. They are a bit higher res than the defult ones. The stars are becoming smaller than 1 pixel so they appear to 'twinkle' when you turn your ship.
I got the FPS issue too but until reading your replies I thought I was nuts. I actually reinstalled it too, didn't have the FPS drop anymore and am now playing at my normal framerate. I am getting some strange stuttering that I didn't have before but my game is getting a bit complex so I figured that was it.
I'll try removing the BGs again tonight and see if it improves anything.
Well...here's a temporary link until he updates his. Contains a text file with hashes in it to test the download if you want. That doesn't need to be installed in the TC directory.
