Have you found a suitable background for the sol systems yet? Just wondering...and I'm impatient as always

Unfortunatly not, which is a pain, so at the mo we'll have to put up with what we got.... however i'm going to recommend altering the gamma level in the game for this mod, as all the background look even better when it's reduced to 105 (Default is 127).
Maybe I can help track down or even create a background. What resolution do you need? Or better even, give me the requirements of a background to work in X3.

Not sure, The solar system background is one of the tricky backgrounds. Most of them have a 'sky box' file which is a Bod file with 4 associated DDS files which are the background image. Then some are the 'Sky box' with the background incorportated into it..... and the solar system is one of those! and i haven't got a clue haw to deal with one of those.
What i can tell you is that the DDs files that are used in the others are split into quadrants, and the resolution is some thing like 2096x1048, so i guess the whole image would be 4192x2048?

I'd recommend you Aragon Speed's Tutorial for creating backgrounds but as TXU is down at the moment because of server migration, I can't post the link atm. Will post it later.

Is there also tutorials for the 'skyboxes' there too, i.e, how to create and modify existing?
Split spacefly fab had a number of issues when trying to complex it (add to a complex), IIRC it had no complex nodes.. A word of warning, maybe it isn't worth to include it in the mod.. Or at least add a warning when you do.
iirc, spaceflies are for engine technology for the Split - it doesn't seem like they would need them for a factory that recieves its energy requirements from batteries.

Thats true, i do seem to remember them being used as a secondary resource in thier fabs in X2, i was just thinking it would be nice to have them back in the game to a greater extent than they currently are.
BTW, does anyone know how spaceflies are generated in sector (the ones that fly around) is it in the jobs file or are they added some other way?
I'd hazard a guess that he needs to check the compatibility with the 2.0 version, most likely finish some stuff and all..
Well, as much as I can guess, it could be out in the following week or the one after that - I can't imagine the process taking any longer than that.. I myself am waiting for it patiently.. (Actually, I'm using the spare time to re-read the lord of the rings and do some other stuff.. So it doesn't bother me when this comes out).
One thing I do know for sure and can say about is that the 2.0 version is being worked on, so it is a matter of time and patience..
yes i think so, adjusted frieghter speed up by about 20%, and have increased the number of free traders in the jobs file and altered it so the will run with max engine tuning instead of 60% tunings, so this should cure that little problem.
Looking forward to this.
I'm not playing this game anymore without this (and CMOD3) being updated for V2.
Good you're working on it. Loved this mod very much. Anxiously waiting till Thursday now.....
Thanks for all the work

Thanks, If your using CMOD3 I would suggest not using the Improved ship add-on or the extreme universe add-on, as (with the permission of SS-T) added the M6's with docking slot into the T/ships update, and i have loosly based the jobs file in this mod to the one in the extreme universe add-on.
It will be fine for the main part of CMOD3, as i plan to use it myself.
so have you upped the speeds? that was the main reason i used the improved ships plugin - because i like capital ships and i'd rather it didn't take three hours to turn one halfway around.
and i haven't got a clue haw to deal with one of those.
